Congrats to everyone who responded to this thread. That whizzing noise you heard was the joke going over your head.
Parent was a joke based on the fact that the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) and the Business Software Alliance (BSA) have the same three-letter abbreviation.
Parent was referring to the second BSA (the MS mouthpieces).
Back when they first came out, I considered buying a Prius... not because of the gas (it was about $1.50 at the time), which would not cover the extra cost, but back then , CalTrans was giving out carpool lane stickers to Priuses (not any more:( ).
At the time, I was commuting between the West Valley and Anaheim twice a week. And the use of a carpool lane would have shaved a large amount of time off my commute.
Don't dis me for the commute -- My main office was 5 minutes from my home, but they contracted me out to Anaheim.
To be honest, I was working from memory -- it wasn't a "blatant lie", but an error. I don't like either him or McCain, but I wouldn't deliberately lie to hurt either one. They both do a good enough job damning themselves without it.

If it's a "Downgrade", shouldn't it be *CHEAPER*?????
Thank you!
I couldn't remember the guy's name, but I was thinking "BYTE covers".
Mod parent up!!!
GE. We bring good things to life!
[and a note to the humor impaired, yes I know that's not the GE the article refers to.]
And I don't think you got the point of your parent poster.
Hint. Even if humor tags aren't there, it's still a joke.
I was figuring it was je-ne-pax
Damn. That second one isn't right. Should be

I'm rather skeptical about your approach....
And amazingly, the UK judge who gets the case will "disappear" for 42 days.
Not needed.
A couple of strategically placed deliberate car crashes and the LA freeway system will come to a complete stop.
Really? Then how come the BSA has awards for Jewish members (the Ner Tamid award -- I won it back in '75), and my nephew just became an Eagle scout?

Tell that to Tanya Andersen.

Whoops! I though TFS asked "Is anyone paying attention TO Redmond!
"Is anyone paying attention in Redmond?"
Yes.
At least OLPC and Asus are.
Thanks. I was aiming that at the old-schoolers. JonKatz hasn't been here for so long that I figured none of the (relative) newbies would get it.
CowboyNeal as the project we'd most like for govt to shutdown?
But, in a post-JonKatz world, can we really afford to get a UID just to filter JonKatz?

Obama wants to slow the space program down to spend it on welfare.
Of course, the amount we spend on space would last about 1 month -- MAYBE.
Exactly. I had thought "telescope on Farside". I think we should have both visible light and radio telescopes.
i get 20mbit with great service
I live in L.A. and it just seems like I get 20mbit. Oh wait. You meant 20 Mbit.
No. The old Boston Garden closed years ago.
