Get rid of the thing. The whole areas waterways are so cool. The banana river, etc. Don't let it contaminate the water. Spare the redfish, sea trout, manatees and dolphins. It's amazing drifting down the nearby barge canal by the canaveral locks and watching the dozens of dolphins feed and manatees bob up and down. The place doesn't need any more contamination and pollution than it already has. It a beautiful span of land and water. Have you ever seen wild boars on the shorelines before sunrise?
Let NASA sterilize it and scrap it. Don't sign the petition.
Is it really that important to save? Recycle it, sell it, maybe. But save it? Bleh. Save rainforests, but old peices of construction? Take a chunk out and put it in a museum somewhere.

Thats not at all what I'm saying. I'm saying that a person has the right to question the rules that govern them, if that person did not have a say in the making of those rules. More often than not, in a representative democracy, people really have no say about the small laws. They can only hope that the person they voted in won't be swayed by outside (monetary) influences and that the person elected does in fact abide by a code of ethics similar to theirs. When some law is passed that is questionable, the public should have a right to protest those laws. The U.S. constitution provides means for the public to protect themselves from an overly intrusive government, and if that means a person wants to draw arms and begin a violent confrontation then so be it. However, I think a little Civil Disobedience goes a bit farther but I am glad that I can defend myself with force if needed.
thanks for that second link, good stuff. i'm always looking for more ways to advance my nerdyness and my duties at work are too high level to make me feel like a nerd.
nerd being a good thing, in my opinion.

You believe in the law as the way to run the country, but you advocate murdering people who show up at your door with a court order? Uh, yeah.
To unconditionally accept any law a government passes is rediculous.
bleh. I don't know why the parent is modded flaimbait. Is it not true that Windows worms have crippled the Internet in the past? Is it not true that people do need to call 911 on occasion? I don't think it's too far fetched to think of the parents post comming true if analog phone lines were taken out of service and videoconferencing over the public Internet became a primary means of communication (which is what taco implied).
meh. bleh. my crate is from years and years ago. 10 years maybe. 8 atleast. it's the only tube amp i've ever owned, so i can't compare too well, but it's good for me. it's not the tan fender knockoff
True, when a (sic)audiophile(cough) claims tubes are better for low power audio.... Well, as a coworker of mine says, "I don't argue with wheelbarrows - I push them."
Yet, if you play guitar through a solid state amp, then a tube amp, you will notice the difference easily. Not that one is inherantly better than the other, just different sounds.
Though i guess you may not have included musicians in the audiophiles group. rightly so maybe.
ok, i thought analog watches was a bad inclusion, but vacuum tubes?! Why not throw this round thing called "The Wheel" in there, too? It's old and freaking won't die!
I love my Crate tube amp. It's so nice sounding.
This article... it's credibility is wavering at the moment. The author must have spent a whole 5 minutes looking for inspiration before giving up and writting this lousy article.
Compared to today's digital timepieces, old-fashioned, sweep-hand watches are pathetic one-trick ponies. Digital-watch wearers can check temperature, altitude, and the time in Tokyo, play tunes and games, and send messages. Can wristwatch videoconferencing, Web surfing, and tarot readings be far off?
I agree with what you said. The authors should be carefull what they wish for. Videoconferencing on a tiny 1 inch display, networked, tarot readings? come on. One day you'll be wondering what time it is and the Tarot Wench will come up on the videoconference display and predict your watch is about to be hacked. Next, you don't know what elevation your at, and have no idea why your watch is displaying tokyo's time when you've never left your nice metro lifestyle this side of the pacific.
digital watches have their place.. diving, climbing, maybe a few other places where those bells and whistles aren't just bells and whistles but needed functionality. walking around the same city 95% of my time, with clocks everywhere, i'll take an analog watch if any. none, however, has been my preference for 4 years. It's somewhat liberating not having a perpetual reminder of nagging Time on my wrist.
We he left for the Navy, I bought him a Neo Get Pocket color to bring with him on the ship. That sealed my title as worst video game purchaser ever. If you want to know which system is going to last, don't ask me. The only caveat is that I bought a PS2, but that wasn't until 3 years after it came out.
So are you going to buy an the XBox 2? I just want to know if you will doom it to failure or if it will succeed. So tell us all, what will you buy next?;)
"If so, it'll be interesting to see the effects of abandoning our existing knowledge infrastructure."
I bet the effects will be something like large corporations exerting their financial power to pass legislature to copyright historical and factual information.

I have a digital version of this! Let's see... right now it says "Outlook not so good." Now it says, "Try again later."
No matter how many different versions, and how many times you try to use Outlook, the magic 8 ball is always right, Outlook is not so good.

Luddites and technophobes sure sounds the same to me.
computer illiterate makes more sense to me, or just technodumbass if you wish.
zapper? we need guns. bigger f**king guns. that should keep the execs from trying to follow me.
how is RFID any different than stalking me? Stalking for profit? silly commercialism.
