If there's any 'real' technology that's going to really get us off planet, it's an Orion drive system. Maybe we'll wait for a clean fusion system but really, I think we'll end up using an Orion before we get a beanstalk up.
Woohoo, I'm finally trendy 'cause I own some iPods. I drive a '70 Impala, with cool rust holes, wear K-mart brand jeans and watch Country Music Television. Can't wait to get home and tell the wife we are hip. Wonder if this means tie-dye and bell bottoms are back in, cause that's what she wears.
What? You put the milk in after pouring the hot water. That way it doesn't curdle. Or explode. Can never remember stuff from Chem class. Besides, when you make hot tea in a quart glass, and give it a swirl as you pour the water in, the milk makes cool cloud patterns.
No doubt you also think highly of Neil Gaiman.
Didn't have as many people living along the coast back then, either. Still, displacing a billion people over the next 100 years shouldn't be too difficult.
Another illustration: I can pour a bit of milk into a cup of tea. While I can't predict what the immediate concentrations of milk to tea will be in certain parts of the cup, I do know that over time, the overall increase of milk to tea will rise.
Why should we hold other species to be more valuable than ourselves? Somehow, I miss the point on species self-loathing. Now I do believe that fouling our nest to the point that we deprive ourselves of tasty and/or enjoyable species is kinda' stoopid.
I think Lion King and Beauty and the Beast were the last 'good' Disney flicks. Lilo and Stitch and Emperor's New Groove are ok but don't really stand up to repeated viewings (have 5 year old who knows how to work DVD player).
Largest Mac virus update I ever saw (Authorized Apple Tech) was at an elementary school, that still had old 68030 Macs and they were networked to a file server. Someone brought in a floppy disk with some old virus on it and it spread through out the school (200+ machines, running classic). Took a day of about 8 people running around running Virex on everything. That was back in '98. Last Mac virus I saw.
Hell if my Mac users could run their Oracle/java web apps directly on their Mac, as opposed to logging into a Citrix client server, they'd jump at it. Especially if the apps ran as transparent as Classic apps run now.
$1000, for Apple 'Pro' laptop? Doubtful. Does BMW sell their high end cars for the price of their low end? They have a market that puts up with Apple's high profit margins. Not likely they're going to cut prices by 50%. They may gradually reduce things down to about 25%-30% but that's about it. Now, for an Intel iBook (or whatever they rename it), I could see them intro'ing a sub $800 note book. That would be sweet. Definitely wouldn't be MacBook Pro, though.
Would like to be able to run Windows apps the way OS X runs Classic Apps, now; double click a Windows app or file, Windows starts up and then goes away and then the app runs in it's own window. Do not want to see Windows desktop.

Romans go the donuts?
Hmmm...Project Orion...he's so dreamy...
Romanes eunt domus?
Is he related to Mike Hunt?
They took a swift kick to the googlies?
I have three iPods. I Miller High Life from over seas? It's what's in my fridge.
Emo's a brand?
VR-5 would be cool!

Pretty slick moves there.

My 'company' is similarly strict. No personal electronic devices or media allowed. Miss my iPod. :(
You don't mean the Giffy Girls, do you?

Just run NetBSD! It'll always run on everything.
Might be like running Classic Mac OS apps within OS X. They run at full speed.
