    Fantastic !! Thank you!! Now where do I put my gun vault ???

  2. Bruce Sterling is a Jackass on Ten Technologies That Refuse to Die · · Score: 1

    And his top 10 list proves it again.
    Self appointed saviour and savant.
    And he actually expects to be taken seriously.

  3. Re:Why it works on Hackers On Atkins · · Score: 1

    Oh no, it couldn't have possibly worked for you.
    Just listen to all the self appointed health experts around here.
    What a bunch of opinionated know nothings.
    I personally lost 50 pounds on Atkins 5 years ago, and the weight hasn't come back.

    Congratulations on your success !

  4. Re:Just a guess on Trusted Computing · · Score: 1

    Bad guess. You are wrong.

  5. Re:This is Usenet?!? on 1985 Usenet About Y2k · · Score: 1

    Speaking as one who watched it happen, I agree that the beginning of the end was when they opened the the AOL system and turned tens of thousands of clueless knotheads loose.

    And if I'm an "oldster" the poster must be a "snot nosed punk". ;-)

    That's what I thought until the unemployment ran out.

  7. Model 100 my first hardware hack on Tandys Never Die · · Score: 1

    I've still got mine, although it hasn't been powered up in ages. I also bought the ultra cool floppy drive.

    I committed my first hardware hacks on it. A slide switch to flip pins 2 and 3 on the serial port so I could ditch the null modem, and I cut a couple traces and added a couple wires so I could use ni-cads and have them recharge while plugged into the AC adapter.

    They are often for sale on E-bay and usually sell for under $50.

  8. A mixed bag of a budget on Big Changes In Proposed U.S. Space Budget · · Score: 1

    This proposed budget gives with one hand and takes away with the other. I hope that we will someday go to the only other solar body with an ocean. (Europa) It should be pointed out that we have used nuclear power systems since 1961. http://nuclear.gov/space/space-history.html
