Maybe this time we won't blow our "peace dividend" on one financial bubble after another that only enriches those engaging in arbitrage, producing nothing.
probably an Internet troll (evidence includes not being listed as a lawyer in PA, using a home address, and sending the takedown from gmail). Or just a really bad lawyer.
Here, I'll simplimafy it for ya:
bad lawyer == troll.

SCO vs everybody
Jack Thompson vs reality
Astrolabe vs the timezone database
Foreign deployments are not legitimate. We need the Coast Guard and the army. The nuclear sub fleet and their nuclear deterrent can be transferred to the coast guard, and the army focuses on maintenance of the land based nuclear deterrent, with the air force folded in there as well. Security of shipping lanes can be handled by a renewed merchant marine (ie allow merchant ships to be armed to whatever extent they like).
You don't need a big standing army when you have nukes. With no big armies anywhere, wars of all descriptions become less likely. A small special forces would be enough to deal with non-state threats.
You need a military to absorb the % of the aggressive young male population and kill some of that off, and develop some discipline and maturity in the survivors. (Alligator control is just not big enough to take all of them). Kind a Kipling-esque view and a bit curmudgeonly, but fits the observed facts much better than we need to spend $$$ and $$$$ and $$$$$ for "national defense".
Isn't that what old people used to watch CBS on before hulu/netflix/amazon/youtube/bittorrent/hbo to go/showtime anytime/Oprah24...
By the time this standard is implemented, we'll all be streaming video directly into our eyeballs from our iPhone Vs while riding around in our self-driving google cars. Who cares what format the data is in when you're just going to slap it in one of a dozen windows and project it on the back of the seat in front of you?
All right-thinking people, like George C Scott, know that the source of all ills of the world is The Phone Company.
I blame this squarely on the lack of faith in God in these godless times. Used to be, when random bad shit befell you, say, if Aunt Macey[1] was hit by a bus, we'd just blame god. Errr, chalk it up to His inscrutable plan. Uhm, blame the devil.
These days, the Bilderbergers^W Illuminati serve as a secular devil that some of the weak-minded blame for all the random bad shit that happens in the world.
My point being that sometimes stuff just seemingly randomly happens. Sometimes it's bad. People like to view the universe as rational and purposeful, so they look for a cause to random bad shit.
[1] we all know that she should have checked both ways more carefully before crossing the street. And maybe not drank as much before Noon.
It's always a little strange to see the 'New York to London' figure given for something that is fairly clearly intended for blunt-force diplomacy, not passenger travel.
Yeah, shouldn't the canonical flight-time be from the Hauge to London? what, too soon?
Blade Runner, that's what *immediately* leapt to my mind too. I wonder if these things will have giant display ads on the sides? "Sponsored by the Exxon Corporation" maybe.

Is this how the ARM gets started?!
AFAIK no PC used an 8 inch disk (please correct me if I'm wrong)

Stupid ibtimes link is educated stupid.
So this thing has graduated from hunting great white sharks to hurricanes in less than a week?!!

Super Cavitation was ok for it's time.
But they really jumped the shark with Super Cavitation II Turbo HD Remix

The free market itself is a myth.
I find your lack of faith in the invisible hand disturbing...
Sorry, I just couldn't let the image of Darth Adam Smith choking some scoffer with an invisible force hand alone...
On the plus side, technological advancement had replaced the iron lung with much smaller, sexier CPAP machines.
By my calculations, if everybody ran flashblock, we could reduce global warming by 17,000,000,000,000,000 Watts a year. Better bring a sweater.
TV?

This is the 21st century, get used to it.
Museum? I told 'em we already got one.
Now if we can only get Tesla in the rock and roll hall of fame, he'll be one up on that upstart Einstein
Wow, I figure if anybody had to do that for a year, they should be given a pension, a quiet place to get away from things, and a LOT of therapy.
Yeah, with a therapist specifically picked that they can relate to well and lots of nice drugs.
Grandma, do you have robot insurance?
Illuminati? BAH.

I mean, once you've programmed a robot to ride a surfboard, having it harpoon sharks should be trivial.
Come on CalTech, I heard MIT's already got one!
great, a quick google image search, and now I can't get Whitney Houston out of my head.

that was nowhere near as cool as I imagined it.
