Linux for seniors? It is as complicated as Chinese arithmetic for anyone but the undirected tinkerers who made it in the first place. A better question is why the hell is anyone pushing computers on seniors. They need one like they need a hole in their heads, you dorks and dweebs!
Once upon a time a man was attacked by a vampire bird
He was sucked to death
The vampire bird killed him at last
Vampire bat
Vampire bat
Vampire bat
Vampire bat
Vampire bat
The lake of fire tore his ass up
He was burning to the crisp
He was cast into the lake of burning flame
Vampire bat
Vampire bat
Vampire bat
Vampire bat
Vampire bat
After the vampire bird sucked blood out of me
He started stabbing me in my ass
Then three more vampire birds stabbed me in my ass too
They sucked the blood out of me killing me
Vampire bat
Vampire bat
Vampire bat
Vampire bat
Vampire bat
Rock over London, rock on Chicago
Folgers - it's good to the last drop
Too bad these stories are only on "the internets", and the mainstream press won't touch them. It assures that this election will be stolen, and nothing done.

A Terk TV4 or TV5 might do the trick in an apartment building. The tiny single mast telescoping antennas that come with USB tuners sometimes do an amazing job in spite of their small size. The one that came with my K-world tuner does the job well.
Another problem is not everyone drives, and the same yahoos who want a driver's license will refuse to accept a state non-driving ID as valid. People are turned away from bars for this all the time. Wouldn't surprise me at all if some chucklehead working for the TSA has never seen a state issued non-driving ID, and will think it is fake when he does. This new policy is about one thing: Pricks with power lording it over us because they can.
Ultimately, you have a right to anything you are strong enough to take, and no right to anything you are too weak to keep. A big tiger gets more meat than a small tiger. In spite of many millennia of "civilization", the law of the jungle and the law of the land are ultimately the same. You may not like it, but that's how it is, and nothing written on a piece of paper changes nature.
Imagine a conversation at an accident scene...
"Wow, this is the hundredth crashed flying car this week alone, and the black box says the same thing as all the others at the end of its log. THIS APPLICATION, FLYING CAR AUTOPILOT 2.0, HAS CAUSED AN ILLEGAL OPERATION AND WILL BE SHUT DOWN. IF PROBLEM PERSISTS, CONTACT THE VENDOR.' You would think Microsoft would have fixed this by now!"
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto,
Mata ah-oo hima de
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto,
Himitsu wo shiri tai
You're wondering who I am-machine or mannequin
With parts made in Japan, I am the modren man
I've got a secret I've been hiding under my skin
My heart is human, my blood is boiling, my brain I.B.M.
So if you see me acting strangely, don't be surprised
I'm just a man who needed someone, and somewhere to hide
To keep me alive-just keep me alive
Somewhere to hide to keep me alive
I'm not a robot without emotions-I'm not what you see
I've come to help you with your problems, so we can be free
I'm not a hero, I'm not a saviour, forget what you know
I'm just a man whose circumstances went beyond his control
Beyond my control-we all need control
I need control-we all need control
I am the modren man, who hides behind a mask
So no one else can see my true identity
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, domo...domo
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, domo...domo
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, domo...domo
Thank you very much, Mr. Roboto
For doing the jobs that nobody wants to
And thank you very much, Mr. Roboto
For helping me escape just when I needed to
Thank you-thank you, thank you
I want to thank you, please, thank you
The problem's plain to see: too much technology
Machines to save our lives. Machines dehumanize.
The time has come at last
To throw away this mask
So everyone can see
My true identity...
I'm Kilroy! Kilroy! Kilroy! Kilroy!
If they want high speed internet, most people have two ISPs to choose from: Their local phone company or local cable TV company. Get kicked off of both for violating TOS, and no high speed internet for you. A Duopoly can make you play by its rules or quit the game just like a monopoly.
I don't know why people are so unhappy. The virtual fence has kept out the imaginary moozlim ayrab terrists in Mexico, it just as a little problem with the real Mexicans. Give it time.

...it originally ran Windows 95, and the idiots tried to install XP on it. They really just need a new one.

It will take a lot of miniaturization. The one they have now is way too big and heavy for a shark's head.

I say cut off both of his hands. He won't use them to steal again. Problem solved.

I wonder how much they paid The Times to promote their rag with an article? There is no such thing as bad publicity.

Not only that, but even then someone was just repeating an urban legend. This never happened.

They can't. Microsoft buys out and rips off. They have never created anything. Dead Search couldn't find its ass. That's why they tried to buy Yahoo!
If few complain, that is because nobody watches the garbage on NBC, not because people don't mind havig their rights taken away.
The purpose of all these high-tech whizbangs is to allow our corporate overlords to rig elections just like rasslin'. They work exactly as designed.
I thought it was Packard Dell.

That's the only way we can keep them from seeking Sarah Connor.
Here is something cool! Video of the bum bot in action.

Vista is the answer if "What is the worst thing ever to be foisted on the computer-using public?" is the question.
It is good that they have allowed the law to stand up. Too bad spammers can't get the death penalty. I would volunteer for the firing squad.
