1969, right after the moon walk. I remember watching it on our B&W set and my dad tried to take a picture of the set with his 35mm camera, it came out with huge black bands on the screen.
When I was little I liked going to my grandparents to stay because they had a color set and we didn't. Cartoons, Batman, etc. in color was what I lived for. (Now I can see them in color on "Boomerang" and TV land...)
I remember well that most people didn't have color TV in the early sixties because the sets were WAY too expensive.
BTW, that comparison of $1,000 to $4,000 is wrong. The dollar has devalued by a factor of TEN since those days.
ghettology and beer 101 to worry about making a living or god forbid, bettering themselves.
They would rather walk around in a stupor with their pants hanging off their asses and baseball hats on sideways, listening to cRAP like morons.
This country is going to implode. The brain drain has been on for 40 years. The begining of the end was the 60's with the dope and the anti-establishment shit.
With all the offshoring underway, this country will FAIL as a country within 25 years or less, I suspect much less. America will become a third world country and will be invaded by a foreign power as the economy collapses.
I see America becoming the mirror image of the former Soviet Union..
I will not ever use this technology. It's a BAD idea. My books are my books and the information that's printed in them will always be there no matter what, as long as I take proper care of them.
No matter what happens in the world, say some political wind blows and they decide that certain things are politicaly incorrect, with a few clicks of a mouse e-books planet wide will be "revised" to reflect the new "acceptable and correct" line of thought.
History will be rewritten to suit those that have the power and need to rewrite history.
I have many sets of encylopedias from the 20's through the 80's and I can see with my own eyes how history is being rewritten. LOTS of "facts" are revised on a regular basis. If you think it's not, you're living in a dream world...
But only as long as it's nothing to do with a TELCO. I'm extremely happy with the QOS I get from RR and was VERY PISSED as the LACK OF QOS I got with DSL..
I'll have my privacy, I'll carry an RFID jammer on me where ever I go and intentionally jam and disrupt RFID recievers whereever they may be.
And I'll equip my friends, family and anyone else that wants one.
If I discover anything that I possess contains an RFID chip, I'll nuke it. Perhaps degaussing will kill them, perhaps now, but if nothing else, a shot from a 300,000v stun gun should do the trick.
Not me. I use OLD stuff over again. I refurbish and recycle. And when I say recycle, I don't mean into raw materials, I mean refurbish and put back into service....
It was a civil matter, not criminal. Though it should have been..
And to everyone else, yeah, I'm an asshole and a fucking prick. Damn right I am, after the fucking they gave me, I made damn sure they knew what I thought I about them.
And I don't give a shit what anyone thinks, this is all fact. It happened.

Ask, and ye shall "recieve", not.. (Ugh, bad pun!)

personal RFID blockers/jammers, like a keyfob you carry that gives you a privacy zone by jamming the freq. in say a 3' dia. zone around you.
Still.
That's freaking HIGH for a PC with Linux on it...
I am 100% certain they are both smoking from Darl's pipe and paying Darl's fees...
Damn!

Some of the weirder things they claim in it is that by choosing MS Office over OpenOffice.org one is protected from the threat of viruses
Bill, give Darl his crack pipe back...
So do I. I have the stuff to handle 10,000 lines.
People that follow the advice they peddle on Screen Savers are heading for trouble.
TechTV should go the way of the dinosaurs...

Damn, that looks a lot like my Rolm (I know, it's a PBX but it is also a computer, and yes, it's my personal property)
Dear Santa, please read parent...
Thanks!

Shit! At my store they just give me coupons for tampons and spinach.
Where the fuck are the coupons for 50% off on any MEAT product or COFFEE, the only two things I ever buy???

DEATH to RFID...
I was getting ready to order Suse 9.1 next month (ASAFP) so I could get the blessings of Suse on KDE 3.2 and kernel 2.6
I sure as hell don't want a monkeyed with KDE.
I don't care if they do that, but give us the option of selecting one of the three in the virgin form.
I like KDE and I don't like gnome. I don't want gnome l&f or gnome components mixed into my KDE..
Leave it alone or give us the choice but don't FORCE it on us...
If they do I will dump Suse. I like Suse and would like to stay with it but not if they start jacking with things...
just my 2cents..
Pie in the sky...
I've got about ~55 Compaq's that are bored to death and looking for something to do..
