My home electric bill is roughly $200 (The water is also about $200). And that's LA DWP, which was a damn sight better than the poor fools who got 10x rate increases during the crunch.

What happened to the good old days when we had RIAA and SCO jokes to space out the Microsoft ones?
Don't know about the RIAA, but I think that Heise (the lawyer) finally managed to muzzle Darl, after IBM threw his "millions of lines" bit back at them in court.
In "Imperial Earth", Clarke makes the comment that the best candidate for office is one who is dragged into it kicking and screaming, or words to that effect.
I was a passenger in a buddy's car, when he got pulled over for expired tags.

A fat lot of good that will do. Do you really think that the HD-DVD format will still be around 20 years from now?
