I've been watching this company since 1999 or so. Back then they were claiming they would have a box on the market priced in PC-range within 18 months. Looks like that's going to remain vaporware for the foreseeable future. Now the only mention I can find on their website about it is this:
Personal computers.
The company believes that some day PCs will come equipped with the same supercomputer technology found in the company's Hypercomputers.
That doesn't change the fact that the civil rights legislation was strongly supported by the Republicans in the House and Senate. To the point where they stopped a filibuster by the Democrats in the Senate. The original post falsely suggested that there were a lot of Republicans who voted against civil rights in the 60's.
Furthermore, just because someone couldn't get elected as a Republican in the south, it doesn't necessarily follow that they would have been Republicans if they had a choice. If that were true then both Robert Byrd and Al Gore, Sr. (both of whom voted against the bill) would have become Republicans later in life. No, they were Democrats by choice, not because they had to be in order to get elected.
republican, white congress, some of whom were in office and voted against civil-rights legislation in the 60's
Quite the racist aren't we? Not to mention uninformed. Check out the below link about the Civil Rights Act of 1964 along with the voting records. More Democrats voted against the bill than did Republicans.

Two days later, the Senate passed the bill by a 73 to 27 roll call vote. Six Republicans and 21 Democrats held firm and voted against passage.
Been where? Cali, NY, Mass or another part of the third world? Or are you referring to Texas? I've been to all of the above, and I now live in Texas. I turned down a number of high paying jobs in places like California and NY before I found a good job in a place that I considered worth moving to.
There may be a lot of Democrats here in Texas, but I can live with that, they seem to have retained a lot more common sense than the rest of their fascist/socialist cousins in other states and at the national level.
Right, and places like California, Massachusetts and New York all of which have very oppressive gun control laws, they're all a shining example of utopia. Nobody ever gets robbed or murdered there right?
I've found those places more comparable to third-world countries. Like many a third-world country, they're all run by empty-headed socialists. Only difference is that in the U.S. we call them Democrats.
On the contrary, those signs are comparable to a big sign that says
Rob us, please!
It's an admission that the people on the premises are sheep and don't care enough about their lives and the lives of their families to put any effort into protecting them.
I avoid going into any business with one of those signs posted. I will not give my business to such people.
It is unlawful for a handgun license holder to carry a handgun onto such places as the premises of a business that derives 51 percent or more of its income from the sale of alcohol on premises, a correctional facility, hospital, an amusement park, a place of worship, or any meeting of a governmental entity,
Federal law already makes it a massive pain to own automatic firearms, there's no state left in the union where it's easy to lawfully own automatic weapons.
As for the Guinness, I've never had any trouble finding it on tap. It's crap from the bottle or can, so I've never looked for it.
