Dont forget, We still have Saturn. There are still two Saturn rockets in Kennedy Florida, that we can still use.
Saturn was extrodinarly sucessfull. It's existing saftey measures are fine. What is Missing? Manpower. We now lack the training and science in people to be able to run the program.
With Adblock you can specify OTHER domains/directories tha are bandwidth wasters.
Privoxy is one cool product, I am going to check out, thanks for the tip, but I dont think its a catch all. ( and neither is Adblock Plus ), they both help you get a leg up on the sewage.
Get a few 'Training films' on Blue-ray, tell them that its just as cheap to get an xBox 360 as to buy a blu ray player. Then have a few xBox games as giveaways at the office party. Then find out who is using them.
Also get a few people interested in Team Building with Counter Strike and Halo 2...
Yes, noscript blocks sites from scripting content from other sites, Flashblock blocks every flash, even on the current page. ( Flash does not need java-scrpit to auto play ).
With Adblock, you can specify domains/directories that are bandwidth wasters, a few hours training your blacklists and sites like CNut actually fly! Pay close attention to stuff that transfers in the backround, i.e. just block that stuff right away. Then quadruple the size of your cache, and look into it and see what are the largest items. Block them.
Also, See if you can find any free wifi that you can download files on. ( i.e. do some war walking at home, and at school ).
Run Vista? Can you just imagine what the Hubble's Telescope desktop picture of the second is?
I had a box with a PentiumOD in it, and got tired of seeing the FOOF bug patch every six months when It needed to be rebooted, so I pulled the POD and put a DX-66, and it still worked the same. ( it did go from 2% CPU Utiliziation to 3% CPU Utilization ).
The originonal programmers deserve medals. They did NOT use windows/MS bug crap.
Actually, the P5 Over drives had the FOOF bug. You need "Reliable" type tech.
You do not need a significant increase in computational power. You need to increase reliability. If your OS goes bad, just re-read the whole thing from ROM. If a large portion of the program/OS is in rom, you dont need a lot of ram, just to store variables.
Hot Swappable CPUs? Your so like 90s and stuff, these days, the zSeries mainframes have the CPUs already there, they can just turn them on and off like a light switch!
We havent heard from any Cobol programmers in years, they all went into suspended animation until the year 3000. They took their sharpened pencils and CODSYL approved 80 column forms with them!
Probibly the oldest code still running, is LEGACY COBOL code because its an older language than BASIC!
Every feature has not been added. Oh Hold your sickness bags. Are you Ready? Visual Cobol! Now you can safely co-develop c# applications side by side with your Cobol dinosaurs!
Shush about the punched cards. I still need them for christmas tree decorations!
Ahh, Again, This will be my 8th Presidential Election, voting in California, I have lived and voted in 3 counties, and in all cases, probibly 12 to 14 diffrent precints, I have had to show my ID every single time. My signature is compaired to the one on my ID, and was challenged once. ( I was sloppy ).

Yes, and No.

Ya, It doesnt work yet, but will soon. ( in a matter of days )

Umm... Where is this? Can i send you a Resume?
Yes, which leads me to believe that the 486 in the hubble is doing lossless image compression. Saves communication time, saves on RAM.
Wasn't the Z80 doing a lot of multi-sprite video games?
I did, my cobol dialect is the old Microfocus Crap. Dear god, if it got through the decleratsions, I sacraficed a small animal!
I was using an abacus made of large gristle mill wheels.
Oh, Im deeply sorry. Then you must have to use Braile-Cobol then?
Actually Not at all.
The design of RJacks specifically RJ-45, try and mitgate this as much as possible.
If its properly crimped, wiggling the cable, even pulling it should have no effect on either the cable contact or the jack contact.
i.e. it has no importance in real life by design.

Mod Parent +2 Informative!! ( Hell, even I got something out of it!)
Be Clear! A few things:

Just how smart do you think a microwave's CPU is?

Dude! Im so there! Where is my $120?

Where in California did you vote? Baha?
Ahh No. You need some form of ID ( DL or Passport ).
Never an exception. Did have to go home and grab it once.
You need to sign your name.
If a few absentee voters showed up at a polling place, like 2, they would audit the whole precinct.
They run a tight ship in CA, and Im living and voting in my third county.
Im bringing my fish to the polls, but how can I get him to vote? All he does is swim eat and poop. Oh. He's a Republican.
I *knew* it. Only a dead fish would vote for Palin. The Pikes are jumping ship like makrel and the tuna are all democrats!
Didnt any one get to Poll him before his date with RALPH?
Huh? ABC? Neilson?
What was he thinking? Did he vote absentee?
Comon! Wakey Wakey? Who is the fish voting for?
What is his views? Is he a Swing voter or a Swim voter?
Oh He's dead. Must be a ....
WOW! Thanks! Mod parent! Mod Parent! Mod Parent! Thanks for the info! Really!
