I would trust this guy a lot more than any Wall Street banker.
Guys with short hair and no facial hair all look alike just like clones. The reason Wall Street bankers have short hair, no facial hair and wear suits it to make it harder to identify the ones that stole my retirement account money since they all look alike.
I often find guys that look and dress like this guy to be more fun to be around and easier to talk too.
when trying to open those packages with scissors, knives, screwdrivers, laser cutters, C4 then finally a nuclear bomb and the package is still not open
They built a second Difference Engine that is currently on loan to the Computer History Museum in Mountain View. CA. I hope they get an Analytical Engine in the future.

We used 9600 baud terminals connected to a mainframe in the 1970's and19.2K terminals in the early 1980's when I worked at a company that made computer terminals.
The modem I used at home in the early 1980's was 150 / 300 baud.
I have no idea what the internet connection was but emails were sent in batches so you had to wait a hour of so for a response.
During the first two years of college we used punched cards to program in FORTRAN. One day a few years ago at Fry's I saw a box labelled FOTRAN for Visual Studio and thought about buying it.
In the last two years of college we used internet terminals when it was call DARPNET or ARPANET.
My first home computer was a TRS-80.
I started using the internet around 1978 when I was in college. We had super fast 9600 baud terminals back then and about a dozen Universities were connected to the internet at that time.
After graduation I had Compuserve which if I remember right it costs ten dollars a month plus additional time while online. It the 90's AOL bought Compuserve and I switched over to Netscape for email.
During most of the 80's I used dial up bulletin boards for games and discussion boards.
The current apartment neighbors are a bunch of idiots that can't close a door, drawer or cabinet without slamming it. Now all I have to do is place a speaker near the wall and have it play some annoying sound back to the neighbors each time they slam a door.
I did see a show where they retrieved a piece of metal from the bottom of the ocean and determined that the metal was brittle in cold water. In this show they thought the metal was weak and that is why the rivets popped off.
If the rivets didn't pop off the Titanic would have floated a few hours longer.
They also mentioned the shipyard used steel created with a new manufacturing process.

This guy records his telemarketer calls and plays games with them. In this video he told the telemarketer he called a crime scene and is a suspect in a murder. http://www.digyourowngrave.com/tom-mabe-telemarketer-crime-scene-prank/
I am getting occasional spam text messages and phone calls on my cell phone. This will probably increase for everybody in the future.
Most of the time when I give out a phone number to a business it goes to a land line with a call screen-er attached. My friends get the cell phone number. http://www.amazon.com/PHONE-BUTLER-UNWANTED-TELEMARKETING-CALLS/dp/B0008GTP9S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1341941553&sr=8-1&keywords=phone+butler This device asks people the type in a number like an office extension. I wipes out nearly all automated calls, wrong numbers that don't speak English and midnight drunks. You might be able to program some smartphones to do this.

Will I get my old job back if I move to India, become a citizen then apply for an H1-B visa and finally get hired at my old job for half the salary.
people that can write a job description and match job seekers to the jobs.
I hope the airlines don't read this article because they may replace the airline seats with these tiny capsules to cram more people into an airplane.

Looks like something out of the movies Ice Station Zebra or The Thing.
The VT100 terminal was introduced in 1978. I can't remember if it was the same terminals we used back then. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VT100

This Wikipedia article shows the modem types and years released. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modem

I accidentally dropped my natural organic medicine in them. I planted it myself and have a prescription.
I was walking and testing and you just hit me.

They must of had a contract with Halliburton
I could use something like this to silence the neighbors barking dogs and the sound of the "big foot" stomping around upstairs.
