Only 26.2 POUNDS!! WOW!! maybe then I could get some exercise! And I'll have no problems calculating the circumference of a circle with that blazing fast 4MHZ!!!! That 60k sure will come in handy with the assembly I'd have to code too!!
heh.. I can't wait to see what my future kids will be saying about the laptops and desktops of today..
"Wow, Grandpa?? You really had to actually use *only* a Gigahertz!!??? With *only* 80 *giga*bytes of space? How did you ever get by???"
First Owen actor: Uhh.. Mr. Lucas? I know this is only a small part and all, but if Uncle Owen knows C3PO in his early days, how come he doesn't recognize C3PO in... -
It's the marketing towards the children.. That's the main problem. I was sick to my stomach when I saw some dumb-ass cartoon trailer for this kid with a football for a head before STARWARS. What the hell is up with that? I don't want to see some snotty Nickelodean trailer before the starwars movie! I like to think that I'm a little older than that.
actually, there is no one force acting on a spinning object. It was scientists in the early days that conjectured about centrifugal force, but they were wrong. They said that it was a force that would make an object go straight out from the center of the spinning/rotation (focal point?). Anyway, what you could do is twirl a bucket of water around you and then let go. you'll notice that it travels in a line tangent to the oval/circle of revolution, not in a line straight out from your body. Centripital force is also incorrect. Becuase there is no single force acting on the object to make it circle around. Although, you could say that it's a regular collection of forces that always act on a spinning/rotating object.. anyway, go ask your physics teacher/professor/nerdy relative about this so called "centripetal force" and hopefully I'll get backed up. =) If I'm talking out of my ass be sure to post and let me know!
why the hell would I buy an XBOX and then hide it in the closet? No, I think that I would prefer to let them gather dust on the store shelves.
I like this idea, but a few changes for me.. =)

I have read online about organic light emitting diodes and how it can be used flexibly.. I like the thought of having a flexible computer that I can read like a newspaper. If they can do this.. then surely you could roll it up in a protective cylinder that would also house the processor, power source, HDD etc.. I also think that 60GB is a bit overkill.. Perhaps more along the lines of 10-20 GB for me.. I don't know what I would use all of the other space for... I would hold all the MP3's on different cartridges and such.. Of course, this is all extremely far in the future (as i see it) and I don't expect to do any of those things very soon. =)

You know shawn too?!!??
Gee what a small world.

Lucas: Next!
I thik you should also note that uncle Owen doesn't recognize C3po in ANH..

Screw that, just disable Javascript. Any site that requires Javascript can kiss my money/interest goodbye.
