    Because we use x86 CPUs

  6. Re:How is it misleading? on Russian Rocket Hits Wyoming · · Score: 1

    The term "falls in" implies that it was a mistake which is what it was...

    Yeeesss, That's what they WANT you to believe...

  11. Why do we use VHS? on Why Do We Use x86 CPUs? · · Score: 1

    Why do we use VHS when it is understood that beta is a better technology?

    Marketing.
    The herding instinct. We go with the flow.
    IP law. And PPC isn't the only superior tech being locked down. The Alpha chip rots on the shelf while we clunk along in our model Ts. *sigh* Let's hope this "electronic paper" thing can kill off the hardware monopolies.

  15. No. Don't pay in cash on Flying To the US? Pay In Cash · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It will get you tagged as a threat. I know from experience. It's one of the first things they ask. Before 9/11 they had to let me go. Now I'm not so sure. Only terrorists and smugglers use cash. Use a "throwaway" bank account. Keep your real one private. Just like email. Though I know it won't happen, a boycott of the states is in order.

    1)Bush was re-elected.

    4)Nobody gives a damn.

    5)The democrats retook the majority in congress because gullible people think that will make a difference...but not too different. Don't want to rock the boat.

    5)All this because nobody gives a damn.

  19. Re:Bicamerial mind breakdown on Parasites Makes Us Dumber or Sexier · · Score: 1

    The next true phase of mind evolution will be the combination of computers with the brain, as to how that will happen, I don't know.

    I wonder if I'm "Vista Ready". I rue the day when they tattoo "Intel Inside" on my skull.

  20. Re:George W. Bush on Parasites Makes Us Dumber or Sexier · · Score: 1

    He accomplished most of his and the Republicans' goals, stayed in office for two terms, and did it in such a way that Republican leaders could distance themselves from him in time for the '06 and '08 elections, keeping 50% of Congress. Amazing.

    Bush himself accomplished none of those things. His handlers did all the dirty work. And his father probably had to spend quite a fortune to keep him out of prison for all his past transgressions. All Bush has to do is stand in front of the camera and read the script. You will never see the people who actually make policy. Same went for Reagan, but he was a professional actor and was much smoother at passing off the BS.

  21. Do you think on What's Hidden Under Greenland's Ice? · · Score: 1

    they'll find Jimmy Hoffa? Or maybe Hans' wife?
