"Does it have a key to dump windoze to a command prompt when its GUI completely freezes?"
Doesn't matter, unfortunately. When the GUI completely freezes all keyboard input, including the three-finger salute, is ignored. sometimes even the reset button on the case is ignored and on ATX boards the power button as well. This is really because it isn't the GUI that froze, it's the stuff going on underneath it.
PrintScreen and a good ol dot matrix or other straight from LPT1 printer can be used to see the boot up screen (before OS loads) if your monitor is borked, thus providing a clue that it is the monitor and not something else.
"On Windows, the PrtSc (print screen) button takes a snapshot of the screen and places it in the clipboard. Very handy for doing screenshots."
And PrtSc plus I forget if it's the Shift or Control or Alt key but it's one of them captures a snapshot of the active window (rather than the entire screen) to the clipboard which is occasionally useful.
"Interactive Television is the granddaddy of vapor."
I'd have to say that the real patron saint of "real soon now" has got to be the videophone. They've been talking about them since before the transistor.
A hillbilly asked his son what he learned at the fancy new school down in the valley. Upon hearing the boy say "Pi r square" the father replies "Cornbread are square, pie are round!".
Which reminds me of the time several years back when a grocery store cashier asked "Paper or plastic?" and for a moment I thought she meant cash or credit card.
(I didn't say it was funny, I just said I was reminded of it.)
But if you get picky about common misconceptions you have to include that the root of all evil is the love of money, not money itself, and then you've ruined the joke.
I'm not sure if this qualifies as a variation on the above or not, but...
Two jurists were riding along and noticed a flock of sheep. One said, "Look, those sheep have all just been shorn". The other replies, "They appear to have been,... on this side".
"I think that the current system of global TLDs (.com,.edu,.etc) should be dumped..."
Not only that, but URLs should have the domain listed first and then the website (which is a subset of the domain), so that you'd have something like...us.com.chrysler
Does that mean my inability to figure out in which tense your first sentence was written, or which part was the actual verb, means that I'm now officially an MBA?
But then they wouldn't sound like The Hollies, and that would not be good.
I'm far enough into geezerhood that I had to hit google for info on The Flying Picketts (I'm more from the Wilson Pickett era), but, if you're into acappella, check out The Persuasions if you haven't already.
"Secret Government Property"? Maybe NASA didn't lie... maybe they are merely equivocating. They want you to think that it is a "Secret Property of the Government" rather than "Property of the Secret Government".
I laughed when I read it, but then I started to wonder...
"If I pay an internet access tax like I do the 911 tax, does that mean that I will no longer have to pay for internet to some ISP, instead I will just get it?"
Of course not, you'll be paying a tax above and beyond the price you pay to your ISP for the privilege of being able to continue to buy internet service from your ISP at the same or a higher price (There's bound to be something in this plan that gouges money out of the ISPs as well, who will have to pass the increased cost of doing business on to the customers.)
Actually I doubt if Abit rushed to admit to the problem just because they're such great guys as much as they were dragged to it kicking and screaming because the evidence was just too overwhelming.

Personally, I'm in no hurry.
If they pee, do they get credit?"
Only if they're wearing one of those suits from Dune.

Whatta ya bet Dyson's gonna try to jump back on the ICANN bandwagon she just jumped off of?
Might I also suggest for the library list the Rosch, Mueller, Minasi, and perhaps Norton hardware books.
And anything by Don Lancaster.

We should send all of them a nice sympathy card?
The way Slashdot editors keep reposting stories? Indefinitely!
Who, exactly, would you offer as examples of successful "do-ers" of harmony?
You mean someone went and screwed up another good song?
Just tell me it wasn't Michael Bolton.
Please.

Maybe he could hack in and make himself user # 0.
Back then they were called condensers.

Not if they can help it. Going to stores takes time and that's time that they can't spend making more money.
How do you think they got wealthy in the first place? (See old Midas Muffler ad for context)
