Oh yeah, andx as long as we're on the "outdo me" list, my Tandy 1000 TL/2 runs just fine. It's only an 80286, so it's not gonna do any multitasking, but it runs DOS 3.3 just as good as it did back in 1989. Still plays some pretty fun (retro) games, too. I have several "Double Density" (768kb) 3.5" floppies full of them (no hard drive).
Modern software is just getting insanely bloated, and that's all there is to it.
If it makes you feel any better, I've been saying this since 1987; software's probably gonna continue to get larger as functionality and candy are added, at least for the next several years.
I think it was even more common a fantasy then (say twenty years ago, the age of the movie) than it is now.
Now, parents whose children play games at least think it might spurn some desire for a job in I.T. Back then, our parents and teachers just thought they would rot our brains. Plus, it was usually just the geeky kids doing a lot of gaming then so the fantasy included the glory that geeky kids assumed the jock/popular kids got.
Bush is from that part of the USA known as Texas. Currently, he's halfway across the country in our nation's capitol. Therefore, the phrase you refer to speaks of the author's desire to send bush ("planting" him) back home to Texas; as in, get him out of our capitol.
Wow, I've been looking for a way to stretch my paycheck, and this looks like a great way to do it. I'll just tell the credit card companies and my mortgage company that I'm now operating on a 35-day month.
Man, now PETA is gonna be all over them about that freakish cyborg dog-camera-thing. That's even worse than a monkey with wires coming out of his brain! Oh, the humanity!
Anyway, did they just do that so they could get a bunch of pictures of ASS?
I live in Indiana, but the company I develop for (and where they keep are mail server) is in Pensacola. There is apparently no power (or no server? who knows?) down there today, so I have received ZERO spams.
What? Sure, people pirate Windows products, but are you honestly trying to say that Windows is not viable (which I infer to mean "economically successful")?!? What kind of a market share do you think they need, man?
I'm not saying windows is good or bad, but I think it's obvious that it's been successful thus far.
Forget Vid cams, the real danger here is if these "film cameras" and "digital cameras" ever catch on for home use. Imagine what that would do to photographers!

And I still have the original printer (Tandy dmp133), monitor, keyeboard, mouse, MOUSEPAD, and joystick....

Damn, I will not mess with any bank tellers the next time I am in Canada, thanks much for the heads-up.

Thanks, CA!
I'm glad someone besides me found that amusing.
Don't you mean "biodegradeable" AI tech?
OK I hate to encourage the AC, but that's freaking funny.
Screw all that; call it "Grock".
As in: "Hey man, you grock that hoopy Ford Prefect?"
Plus, you have the added automatic benefit of rock!
WTF you modding asshats, that's not a troll statement! Did any of you actually see pic I'm referring too? At worst, it's not funny, but troll?

Agreed. Google for "baby Jesus butt plug" if you want to see some oddities....
Only if it had a silly walk...
Damn dirty apes anyway. Now THAT is a good personal helper for grandma, an APE!
Go Go gadget arms?
Of course, they did say that it doesn't have arms currently. How'd stuff get up onto that high shelf in the first place?
OMG Dude that's some good shit. It'd be cooler if he shared out his download directory though. Leech.

You could spend time developing a MOAIB (Mother Of All InBoxes?)
You bastard! That was gonna be mine. Curses; foiled again.
So what you're saying is that soon All Our Base will belong to SCO?

Old, Bah! My first machine had no hard drive, just DD floppies!
Of course, of course, I'm sure that I'm gonna get lambasted by a punch card user for saying this. I'm such an insensitive clod.
