I would have loved to have opted out of purchasing the $120 books that never even got referenced by the professor. Much of higher education is commercialized, especially campus residency. You just bend over and smile until you graduate, because they stick it to you the whole way through.
I think most people would not want to think that they are basically raising their children to be ignorant, negative consumers...
First they have to realize that they are ignorant, negative consumers themselves. A lot of people I know act more like grandparents than parents (i.e. spoil them, babysit them, give them back to the people who raise them [daycare and school]). And they don't see that they are doing anything wrong.
Screw satellite TV in my car. Comcast offers me money for to ditch-my-dish. What they need to do is have some sort of San Francisco trolley thing going on so we don't have to have long extension coax.
My Dad used to work at GEODSS and they tracked space junk and other objects all the time. Apparently it is at least something to be concerned about when deciding whether to put this in geosynchronous orbit or place it on the moon.
Actually, this type of thing predates even postal scams. Back in the copper age, it is recorded that a boy once ran back to his family and falsely accused a wolf of attacking the herd. This happened many times and proved to be quite lucrative until authorities just ignored the boy. Unfortunately, the final plea was real, and they lost the whole herd. Tragic....
So, obviously this is going to target women, the elderly, or p-whipped men, 'cause I don't know a single bachelor that uses a grocery cart. At the very most I might grab one of those baskets "for your convenience". help us if they dink with those.
I just got back from London and couldn't imagine driving there; the underground/bus system was much more efficient than my driving 1 hour to travel 12 miles at 7 AM.
It would be nice if there were more demand for mass transit in my area, but they just keep widening lanes instead of coming up with better transit systems. I realize, now, how entiwned we USAians are with our vehicles.
Eventually you had to see the directory:
LOAD "$",8
I was 6 years old when my Dad got our portable C=64. It had like a 5" monitor, was about the size of a desktop ATX, had the 1581 drive built in, and weighed 347 pounds (give or take few hundred).
I miss the joysticks I had for it made by Epyx. Never seen anything like them since. They were red and black and shaped like a backwards comma for those who are right handed. If only my girlfriend knew what really made my left trigger finger so dextrous.

Fahrenheit missed the carriage return/line feed. Read it as:
Temperature of equipment rooms: 76 degrees Fahrenheit
Weight of air conditioners needed to maintain that temperature: 1/2 ton

Gatorade bottle; has a wide mouth. Diapers solve both problems, but that Depends on if you are man/woman enough to wear them.

Mod this as uninformed -1. The article describes what infrastructure was around the site. London was a full-blown city, no Mayberry.

If it weren't for Americans you wouldn't even have an Internet to leak stuff. Just ask Al Gore. He created it.
