"don't know of anything he's credited for that I use as often as google or the incandescent lightbulb"
Okay I can't resist. You are correct. You don't know of anything you use as often &c. How about?..
Wireless remote control anything.
Why you are such a compulsive consumer. It's a lot more than advertising and subliminal television.
Most of the UFO's that are witnessed.
All the great weather we have been having! ie: Katrina, &c.

Free Energy! (Sorry. I forgot that's in a parallel timeline)
Anything else you have observed that seemed odd or out of place, because it was. Tesla had basically deconstructed the universe (think Reich not Freud) as we would recognize it. Everyone was so pleased by this that they burnt down his lab (twice) and basically kept him in a unspoken house arrest at the New Yorker until his death.
The New Life Expo at the New Yorker Hotel! (Oh you know you've been).
I started drinking coffee again today. Arrrggghh!!
They still do but now give you the option of using a unique number. Can you image that? Your SSN printed right on your drivers license and your associated to it at the state level.
PS OP is the worst idea since that jackass drove through the brand new [big dig] tunnel with an overloaded truck full of bananas.
since I have an AMD64. But wait I also have a 32-bit sempron. I guess I'm not so happy. Oh drat! Who honestly gives a toss about a planned operating system years away running or not running on their current hardware. I have a recent mobo and I still wouldn't want to try running vista on it.
E-voting is the worst idea that ever had an e- in front of it. Just don't do it. If it were up to me, I would make voting even more manual and paper based. Do all the totaling manually with a pencil and let me check your work. Absolutely THE WRONG application of technology.
Now I know that there will be lots of geeks immediately thinking of technical feasibility and a system architecture seems to want to start drawing itself in my head too. But this is just one thing you never want to make "more efficient".
Why? Because YOU CANNOT TRUST GOVERNMENT. You simply cannot. The framers of the US constitution understood that concept very well (really the anti-federalists more so but whatever). We have documentation that is quite explicit on this point. It's not being patriotic to hand your power over to a faceless system that will naturally want to preserve itself; that's being idiotic. Liberty is something that needs to be guarded and protected very diligently because there will always be someone willing to take away if you let them and once that happens you may never get it back. The right and the left in the US never address the fact the the 2nd Amendment to the US Consistution (well regulated militia, bear arms) was not put there so citizens could protect themselves from break-ins, thieves or highwaymen. It is so they can protect themselves from the government.
Just leave this one alone. We can have all the conveniences in the world thanks to technology, but people will just have to deal with the tremendous inconvenience of getting off their asses and going out and manually voting sometimes.

What an amazing train. When I see things like this, or ride the EuroRail or any trains in Japan, and I think of the train system in the US, I become so deeply saddened.
For anyone that hasn't rode trains in the US, I'll sum it up for you. They are a joke. Amtrak is a joke. They cannot get it together to create a train infrastructure that works efficiently and affordably. Most of them barely go faster than 55 MILES per hour. That's right, miles. There is little in the way of luxury or services with some exception and for a high price. There are some new trains coming on line in some areas, but in general they are worse than they were 100 years ago.
You might ask, "What about all those old movies I've seen with people traveling in elegant dining cars and trips on sleeping cars"? We did have more train routes in the past. There were also lots of light rail cars, electric and horse drawn before those. 'El' lines along with subways. We had elegant train stations (old Pennsylvania Station, NYC, demolished in the 60's for the new Madison Square Garden, &c.). The truth is most of these train lines were purchased by subsidiary companies of GM (General Motors) and the oil industry. They systematically dismantled them. Local routes were replaced by buses. Basically they encouraged the movement of every american to purchase their own automobile. At least one. Peoples experience with the public transportation would become frustrating enough that they would simply not want to deal with it. Those lines that were not completely converted to buses (Amtrak), have been intentionally mismanaged to the point that they are completely incompetent.
I would love to see the USA join the rest of the modern world with an intelligent approach to transportation, instead of building more highways, but it doesn't appear to be coming down the 'pike.
I don't understand how 'rational thinkers' believe only in a recent fad in science theorized by Charles Darwin. If you don't subscribe to this idea then you must be a 'Christian'.
I believe alien species came to this planet and crossed their genes with neanderthal 455,000 years ago so that we may work as slaves mining gold for their planet. Seriously. It doesn't seem harder to swallow to me than the idea that monkeys eventually 'evolved' enough to develop crude tools & then of course nano-technology; the obvious next step.
Does that make me a creationist? I guess so. But I doubt there is anything other than a not-so-well planned out conspiracy to maintain human enslavement in the bible. If you look thoroughly, and read ANYTHING by Sitchin, it is pretty obvious that Jehovah was an evil motherfucker and regarded humans as nothing more than cattle. Bad alien, bad! But brilliant geneticists.
Darwin is flat-world. In the future people will laugh hysterically at the idea that 52% believed in evolution.
Now I can procrastinate phasing off yahoo!mail even longer.
Storage doesn't matter anymore. Three features gmail has that kills yahoo!mail 1. Still force mandatory spam tags on outgoing mail. 2. Still have cap on attachment size (I want to send huge numanuma song video as attachment to the world). 3. Interface still sucks (even the beta).
The truth is I've always been kind of a wannabe geek. I am a shitty coder (even worse at math). Always got confused at WHATEVER-II:Data Structures.
As a 13 year old, I tried playing D&D with some friends who were into it. It was so fucking abstract that I could never figure out how to get started. Just tell me how to play the fucking game! I don't want more monster manuals. I do better with Quake & Ubuntu than WOW & Gentoo.
It's simply a move to draw attention away from the fact that our winter is shrinking/disappearing. If we all say it's springtime then I guess it must be so.
No suprise really. Nice little machine but the battery sucks ass. 1 hour average.
What I want is a support/download page that works like allofmp3. A company and site that respects it's customers and provides what they want without any BS.
I'm no Computer Scientist.. but as near as I can tell, my Gigabyte GA-K8N51GMF-9 motherboard gets it's firmware from the OS. It's got onboard VITESSE 8201 gigabit lan. I deduced this from the fact that I cannot reboot from XP to ubuntu (if I want LAN). I have shutdown, then physically unplug the power supply, wait 30 seconds then power up and boot linux. Otherwise LAN driver wont work in linux.
This study has been "revealed" too many times lately. Nonetheless it is completely true. Many things considered poison can be good for health in the correct quantities and vice-versa. Try technical scuba diving; oxygen becomes poisonous. A small amount of cayenne pepper every day is great for your circulation, doesn't mean I want to drink an entire bottle in one sitting.
Plus alcohol helps LOTS of people relax; something you probably should consider..
The machine I am typing on is AMD64, but I wouldn't think of XP64 (although you can download the image unlike xp32). when I boot into linux i have lots of application problems because no one supports it yet.
Just forward planning. For a serious server application, of course. But for a real workstation, you are going to have all kinds of problems for a while.. xp and linux.
They've crippled inovation in favour of maintaining a monopoly for YEARS now. And I'm not just talking about having alternative OS and word processors. They have been THE_PRIMARY_OBSTACLE for software (and hardware) being truly useful and allowing choice and the possibility of enhancing our lives and contributing to the human condition.

Why be worried? The aliens did it to make us humans (12% alien / 88% neanderthal) and look how we turned out.
What's 12% of 15? Oh shit! Alien Sheep!

My filesever has 64MB RAM. I found it on the street, it was perfect. I purchased some disks and a controller card.
Serves files, streams video/music, remote access, I'm happy.
