In response to the reote on a wire bit:
My first VCR, purchased in the early '80s, had a remote on a wire. It's not that big a deal. Yet being the techno-hyped atmosphere in which the PS2 was released, I can almost give you my GAR-ON-TEE that before the year is out either sony or some company will market wireless controllers for the PS2. I've seen wireless keyboards and mice, I've seen wireless networking; wirelss consle controls aren't all that farfetched. A remote controlled house however...
He must really have problems, the *DuH* box I have sitting in th livning room runs on win98 and it's had no crashes for 2 weeks now! Then again, it does only get used once or twice a week:D.
Guinness is good beer. If you think it sucks, it prob'ly because you were brought up on budweiser or old milwaukee (pardon my spellin'). It's bitch what the WIPO is doing, but Guinness is good beer, and yet again thats the bottom line

No, I think he was using the term 'spouse and kids' to indicate that a person does not intend to go back. There was another post on this topic along those lines as well.
I agree that person isn't REALLY living in space until they move there and do not intend to come back. Sure they might get guilt tripped into seeing thier mother for thanksgiving, but they always go back.
Santa Fe is like another planet. Anyone who's been here knows exactly what I'm talking about.
I say fuck em.
WAAAAAAAAAAA i'm a multinational corporation and I smell bad. I cant make EVEN MORE money cuz i'm lazy WAAAAAA!
Shows what kind of logic I have left after a Psychology class:P
Well, since we (as a species) don't seem to have any persuasion to stop breeding like lemmings, It may be about time that we take to our own proverbial 'sea'. Just as lemings will eventually swarm towards the ocean (or other body of water) when there is no more land to sustain them, we should consider the benefits that colonization of other planets could have.
Some of the great things we could might include:
Colonizing Mars and terraforming it, then building a dome of sorts on the moons of Mars and sending convicts there.
Colonizing the moon and making it a staging area for deep-space manned missions and scientific research.
Experimenting with mining of such planets as Jupiter for fuel (yeah it's far fetched due to all that physics stuff like gravity, but a man can dream can he?)
Anyway, We should seriously consider moving away from our eden in search of new ones to ravage and the like.
plbth.
I don't even know what t think anymore when it comes to internet IPOs in general. A company I worked for in the past, Usurf (stop making fun of me), started out at about $8, climbed to $12 for a brief period of time and is now lolling about around $.82. IPOs are a littl shaky wen it comes to the internet, I'm not sure I'd invest my money in anything quite that volitle.
Here's a radical idea, why doesn't soeone whos bitching about how politicians don't care run for office?
If you say you care about something, but all you ever do about it is bitch, than nothing will happen. I have taken direct action personally on a number of issues, and voila! somthing happened. It does matter when you call/write/email/show up at your (generic political officer governor/senator/mayor/representative)'s office.
They listen, because if they don't, one person can start a fun circus with thepolitician at the center. Remember Monica Lewinsky? I thought you might, but why? Because someone blew a whistle.
Get off you lazy arse and blow some whistles if you don't like whats going on. Voting is the easiest way to do so. If you don't participate, you dont have any right to complain.
yes, it would, but then it wouldn't be deomcracy. The reason things GET loused up is because John Q. Public thinks he lives in a democracy, when we really exist in a badly organized republic.
If you couldn't tell already, I'm a bit of a socialist.
people still read the bible and use the bible as valid material. Half of our laws in the US are based off the bible and the bible thumpers still outnumber the rest of us. Do not underestimate the power of any book, new or old.

Why is it that the conversation always oves back to megacorps?

Go outside, PLEASE.
Let alone the same dimension. WTF was congress thinking? a quote from a paper that was on COTSE about a year ago "Fuck you Mr.Valenti, Fuck you..."

Hey, perhaps I DO have an opinion :X
