WOW! That brings back memories!
Use to work in a TV repair shop when I was in high school in the 70's.
Use to get one or two of those, along with tractor radios, which always
were filled with dead bugs & wasp nests.
I even had one radio that came from a 6v system, had a vibrator inside
to up the voltage.
I'm still holding off on SSD's. Speed? I don't need it, just STORAGE space (movies, mp3's, photos run through photoshop).
Until the price per gig gets down to the mechanicals, and the reliability improves, I'll stick with a few t-byte drives.
Sometimes the easier it is to get around it.
Why would you want win8 anyway, unless you have to have bleeding edge (which it isn't).
Unless you have a touch screen, what's the use? Win7 works AS WELL as Win8.
The "free thinking" radicals of the 60's counter culture movement, are today's 50 & 60 year old "professors" in most major institutions.
Couple that with the ideology they have pushed in primary & secondary schools over the last 25 years, and they have melded the minds
of today's 20-30 year old adults into believing that free speech is only free as long as you believe what they believe.
If not, you are to be told you are a __________(insert favorite PC term), and need to be silenced.
Until THAT ideology is removed, and the so called political correctness "movement" is contained, nothing will change it.
Unions for being greedy in a depressed economy
"Suits" for being greedy in a depressed economy
The only one who benefits will be Michele Obama, who doesn't want anyone eating twinkies in the first place LOL.
Even if there is such a thing as MAN MADE global warming, the scientific world & the media have politicized it to the
extent, no one would believe it now.
I for one believe in global warming, done by the SUN, not by man.
2 things....
Oh, I"m sure there won't be any voter fraud from:

etc....
Second, say a bunch of people in the housing projects, don't have email, or, some of the elderly who still
don't have internet or email.
As a small child in the early 60's, I watched every launch that I could, even having my mom wake me up at 4-5 o'clock in the morning on the early
launches. It just was something for a curious child to do, get up early, watch some guys get locked up in a rocket and blast off for the moon.
This was a great article.
I remember reading about some of the flight controllers & people "down in the trenches' talking about missing things because of the time they were
at mission control. One of the things that struck me as interesting was one of the controllers said that they pretty much missed the civil rights
era, the hippy/counter culture era, and the Viet-Nam war. Well, they didn't miss much!
The UN, will control what you say, what you can view on the net. Look at all the countries that block google, youtube, hotmail,
and other things on the web. Is that what you want world wide? Not to mention, you know the UN will move to put a tax on
EVERYTHING you do on the net.
Leave the d*&^% internet alone!
is that we evolved after god created us.
At least in America (for now) you have the right to believe what you want, but in some areas of the world,
they will cut your head off if you disagree with them.
If you get into the right tech school.
When I went to a tech school in the 70's, though I had some knowledge of electronics, and some experience while
working for 3 years in a television repair shop, I did learn a lot, and was hired right out of school by Texas Instruments
as a bench repair tech. I stayed with them for a year, just to gain some work experience. (hated Houston, Tx though).
Moved back to my home state, floated around for a year, and then got back to work. I've been in pretty much the same
field for 30 years, and still enjoy it. I haven't been laid off ever, and am in demand because I'm good at what I do and the
training I learned, helped me. So, for not everyone, a tech school/associates degree is a waste of time as long as you
do your research. You get OUT of it what you put INTO it.
Just as some deep sea explorer will find a cache of loot in the ocean,
and considering how strapped governments are for money, it wouldn't
surprise me that the government of Italy will want the gold back.
If somehow we "made contact" with some "ET" type, and they had the means to get here "quickly", you think they would come
in friendship? LOL, probably blow us up like the Klingons, Borg or some other crap. Just leave things alone will ya?
Most, not all, but a LOT of kids today coming out of college, especially those with MBA's,
somehow have the idea with NO experience, they should start off at $100,000.00, couple
weeks vacation and more and more perks.
How about proving yourself first? Putting in just the minimum hours isn't cutting it.
I look for those who come in early, stay late.
Let me tell you a little something about the F-15.
The Eagle was developed, at a tremendous cost, to counter what was thought of to be a super jet, the Mig-25, which was developed
to counter the bomber the Air Force was testing, the Mach 3 XB-70 (which never went into production). Mig-25's were routinely
out running F-4's from Israel, so the Air Force wanted something better. Not knowing anything about the Mig's performance or
anything other than it was FAST, McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) in St. Louis started work on what would become the F-15.
TWO BIG HUGE jet engines were centerlined around the frame. It was built at the very infancy of computers. It was, for lack
of a better term, overbuilt. In the 70's, a pilot defected with a Mig-25 Foxbat in Japan, and our military pretty much took it apart
and found that other than the two big engines used to obtain the speed, the Mig-25 was a piece of junk. The enviromental system
sucked among other problems with the panels not fitting. They laughed at the vacuum tubes at the time, but I think now tubes might
handle an EMP burst a little better than IC's.
The F-15 has never been bested in air to air combat. One Israel F-15 even LOST THE ENTIRE STARBOARD wing, and landed
safely!
The F-15 is still a very capable aircraft, and could be modified to be a little more "stealthy", but, the air force has already wasted
a ton of money in the F-22 (now they know what caused the Oxygen problem it should be back in service). The brass hats in the
air force are like little kids, always wanting a new toy to play with.
The "St. Louie Slugger" will be around a LONG time to come, despite its age. And the age part? most have been built in the 80's
that are in front line combat. D's, E's are for the most part flying. Probably not too many A models left.
The team that came up with the Eagle should be congratulated. Every once in a while, a near perfect design comes along.
The P-51 Mustang, the B-17, the F-86...the F-15 Eagle.
to achieve that fuel economy, is to strip out 99% of the metal, reduce the engine to 49cc, put a plastic or fiberglass
shell around it, with 3 wheels, give it a 3 gallon tank of gas, and call that an automobile.
Bunch of hippy types that run the EPA, and the administration will pass rules for the 99%, but, will exempt themselves
from those rules.
That they will discover that by injecting water into the ground, around the faults, will cause "micro" quakes, and relieve the
pressure on the fault lines, which will reduce the chance of a massive earthquake. Now of course, the anti anything crowd
will never give credit to the oil industry if this turns out to be useful.

The 1960's movie with John Wayne had a Fulton recovery system used in it, toward the end of the movie.

Worried about bugs in your seafood? COOK IT PROPERLY and you don't have any worries.
It's in all of the Xenon light bulbs ;)
