Go hrough everything you want to buy, locate the tag, rip it out, dump it. For preference, bring a sign to the store with instructions so other people know where to dump their RFIDs before paying and leaving.
I remember dreaming my own CPU with bit slice logic. In fact, I'm pretty sure I can find some BYTE photocopies and other notes from my first attempt in like 1980, or so.
I remember dreaming of building cards to hook to an S100 bus, including a Z-80 CPU with a ROM and redirection logic.
I mean, I can see how things change. It's kind of interesting to see a whole generation of hardware hackers think in terms of gate arrays, or their children. Who never smelt solder.
So, there you are at Agris, trying desperatlry to drag them from 1985 to 2003, and the mirage starts to dissipate (you know, "It's all gotta work with JBoss").
You: "I do agree that the list in question is accurate"
Me: It isn't. It tells 50%, or less, of the truth, in all cases. You seem to be aware of the facts surrounding Peral Harbor. Your agreement with adcritic suggests ignorance of the rest of its "facts".
As for the rest. My mother was Irish, my father was American, I was born in England. I grew up in France, Germany, England, Ireland, and the USA. I speak French, Japanese, Irish Gaelic, and English. My wife's from Trinidad. So save me the multicultural sermon, please.
Oh my! Where to take issue with such a deranged mind?
Well, first, I'm perfectly willing to argue on the facts. I'm about to do so, so pay attention. It'll be a useful lesson to you.
That said, the fact is that adbuster presents only a single side, a side where the U.S. is an evil ogre threatening the world. For example, the war against Japan makes no mention of Pearl Harbor, nor of Okinawa and the Kamikaze. How can you take Adbusters, if it leaves out Pearl Harbor, or Okinawa, or the Rape of Nanking (read the book, it's interesting, and pretty much the only Americans involved were missionaries trying to rescue the innocent).
Back in the days of yore, when the world was in black and white and strange, man-eating beasts wandered the earth, I used to use a timesharing DECSystem 20. My interface to the beast was either a VT-50 or, on good days, a VT-52, and every month the Department of Mathematical Physics would receive a bill for my usage, in terms of CPU time and "pages".
Yea verily there was much cheering as we broke the surly bonds of DEC and acquired BBC Micros and, later on, IBM PCs. And the world did acquire color, and the man-eating beasts did retreat to places like Kazahkstan.
And as computers and software did reach saturation point in the richer market places, the marketers did cast around for money-making strategies, and lo, they did remember the DEC-20.
I expect to be paying for color vision sometime in the future. And bearskins and bone knives soon thereafter. And as for the man-eating beasts, I'm getting too old for this..
Well, it doesn't help that in living memory the Germans pillaged and burned across this part of the world. They invaded to support their incompetent allies, the Italians, who invaded first.
Historical information, as used by leftists, is the bit of truth the sweetens the lie.
To that end, the politics is completely to the point.
Adbusters, as part of the left, seeks not to improve America, but to destroy it. All part of the Marxist dream of using the iron fist to lead the masses on to the socialist paradise.
Hey man, I didn't start the talk about invading a European country, that was you. The bit about conquering France by learning German was a throwaway line. I'm feeling a little puckish this morning.
As for the USSR and Gorbachev, they're both on the trash heap of history, put there by the U.S. Gorbachev realized the USSR couldn't compete when the U.S. put IRBMs in Europe. Thank you Ronald Reagan!
China? Well, I will admit that today's China looks a lot like yesterday's Germany. Around 1938, I think. I don't know how that's going to shake out. I mean, the PLA basically owns the government, having saved it at Tiananmen, and gets to dictate a lot of how the government works - especially in the area of foreign relations. We'll just have to wait.
I will say, however, that free elections in Taiwan despite PRC saber rattling are a good development.

I mean, haven't you seen the ad where the dude hides everything under his trenchcoat and gets charges anyway on the way out?
Yeah, I'm back to cash and the Chamblee Farmers Market.
Don't try trackn' me! Bastards!

What now?
How's the view from that skyscraper at 285 and 400?
Glad you got yours before it all went oear-shaped.
I've been promoting JBoss against WebSphere and WebLogic, and right now I'm looking like a moron.
Dear Marc, message to you: you're SOL, here.
Is this a French thing? You know, fucking your buddies.
I've had my 5500 for a couple of months. I've upgraded to ROM 3.10.
I love the bash shell, the free and easy downloads, the easy ROM upgrades.
That said, it is:
- hard to read the screen
- hard to enter text
I think what I'm getting from this experience is that the clamshell design is what you need for the usable ultra-portable device.
Oh, and built-in wifi.
Am I the only one seeing the pr0n possibilities?
Does it work with Mozilla?
I mean, I hear the audio of "This is Chris Bailey..." Then, nothing. Very Zen.
Beowulf cluster, etc...
I saw the lights go off when I was breaking the speed limit between Reading and Oxford on the A-423.
I continued to break the law, and see the flashbulbs, for the two weeks I spent in the Home Counties.
I'll be back after the warrants run. Thanks for all the beer.
You're angry, aren't you.
(Oh, I'm sorry, did I fail to grasp your English?)

I apologize for missing your irony.
Let me see now. Did I offer restrictions on application? No.
Your comment is an empty.
the demonstrated leftist way is to murder the dissenters in pursuit of the higher aim.
Adbusters is part of this. Adbusters is evil. Get used to it.

Stalin? A Hitler who survived.
My methods? I've yet to starve the Ukraine.
You're pretty ignorant, aren't you?
I mean, how much qualification does a study like this need.
But then, that Apple never was either, was it?

Well, actually, yes.
I mean, we have an actual free press to keep the Government honest.
Well, no, in reality, we have an actual free press to keep Republican administrations honest.

I mean, we spent 50 years burying the USSR, one of the greatest evils ever recorded in the history on humanity.
Now we're taking care of the smaller items, in order of importance.
