Of course it was missing any mass storage or internal display. But lets not get into that whole comparing 'apples to apples' issue and just wildly toss out dollar figures.
Timex wasn't involved when Sinclair first put out the 99 dollar units. They came around with a re-badged version after the ZX-81 called the T1000 however
I believe you misinterpret here. I don't think it was the like for him, but the need for him to remain to protect the stability of the region.
you topple a leader, even an evil one, and there are a lot of ramifications. In this case, our leaders felt it was the lesser evil and had to play politics with him for the greater good.
In the early 90's i remember buying a remade tyedye at the local clothing retailer at the mall. ( sure it was fake and was just screen printed, but it looked real )
It was so strange seeing it on the shelf i just had to buy one. I still wore real ones back then. Not so much now as im too lazy to keep making them:)
Besides 'direction of leaning' is totally irrelevant ( and relative ) in the first place. Governments of any persuasion naturally gravitate to this sort of nonsense..
The core of the problem is there is no duty to recycle. No one sees a problem with neighbor reporting a murder, yet you seem to see a problem with neighbor reporting failure to recycle.
In some areas it is a law to recyle. and they have *paid* enforcment teams that check out your recyle bins.
But, they don't go and employ fear so your fellow neighbors will rat you out like where this is heading.
But at least with HOA's you bought in to and signed the paperwork.
There is also a big difference in telling your neighbors to keep is grass cut so as not to lower the property value or keeping an eye on things while you are on vacation, and turning people in to the cops because he has "suspicious friends" coming over or has too many deliveries from UPS ( don't laugh, ive been questioned about that very thing.. 'you a spy or something' was what i was asked.. sure it was innocent this time, but next time it might spawn a HSD squealer report with cash reward instead )
Yet. Sure you are allowed to dissent, but you are also liable to be investigated and detained for 'national security reasons'.
Think that fear isn't a real deterrent? Who among us can withstand a hardcore investigation where they strip your house clean and even check out your pocket lint from 40 years ago? Who here wants to cast the first stone?
We still have free speech? I thought that was effectively taken from us long ago and were left with the *perception* of it to make the unwashed masses feel good.

That was the closeout price, way below cost.

Some people prefer RISC and wouldn't consider it a limitation.
If we can get a useable 100$ laptop out of the deal, who here really cares?
Can it be disabled?
Can it be hacked?
If so, then id say you cant prove its me, unless you seize every bit of media in my house. Which i have never heard of happening for a CIVIL case..
Ok, so where can i get one, today.
Im without words..
Now that we are going back to capped/pay per byte internet it wont be practical to distribute over the net.
Of course that is part of their plan. Make it too expensive to 'pirate' a movie so you buy it from them instead.
Unions have their place, and this is NOT one of them.
Hey its a prototype, id give them a chance before you pounce on them.
And added a touch screen.

I get it all the time with my hair ( its long ) around here ( the bible belt ). So its believable depending on the area he lives in.
In general people are afraid of things that are not just like them.
This is a mockery of religion and should be banned. Death to the infidels ( or something like that anyway )
First of all he didn't say left or right.

"I want to report a personal music player on my block. I don't think that they own all the songs on there"
Then they come and arrest everyone with an ipod and go door to door since they have a 'tip'.
No, they do get spied on. Just by the state instead of their neighbors. As being rich means you have assets the state wants.

Sounds bad enough now.

Write him in for what? You do realize we don't have a democracy here and its a republic?
Your 'vote' for president is not a vote, its just a suggestion to the people that actually do vote of who you would like to see as president..
They were sort of backed into that corner due to budget issues.
NASA really couldn't afford to go the other route and have specialized transports as things would have been spread far too thin and jeopardize it all.
