How does the government installing wireless everywhere save you money?
Didn't they do a survey a number of years ago that discovered that many people do not understand the connection between the government's money and taxes? There are people who think the government just has its own money to spend.
I'm getting to old for all this. I can even grok the names anymore. What happened to the days of "Visi-Calc" (a visual calculator) or "Draw" or "Write" or... I'm sorry. I'm approaching 40.:(
I might agree in spirit, but you just know MS would eventually control the licensing, and the Net would become a Windows hegemony. It's a "who watches the watchers" sort of thing.
I'd much rather see the OS manufacturer simply secure their lousy products. It seems 95% of the holes and explots involve things most people don't need or use.
Yes you would be a lousy mechanic, you would also be a lousy mechanic if you didn't know how to hook up the data monitor to the cars computer and interpret the data.
That was his point. His point also was that it DOESN'T make him a bad driver.
The whole point of all this is that computers should be less insecure so that the average user does not have to worry about things at a low level.
Let's stop blaming the user for deep flaws inherent in the system!
Maybe all you elite wonders of networked computerdom can get together and give us a system that can't be brought to its knees by a script kiddie or other bored teenagers. Yeah? Maybe? Am I asking for the Sun & the Moon here?
Or is it just easier to sit back, sip a Mountain Dew and badmouth people with a different skillset than yours?
Oh, and heavily armed ED-209s have been dispatched against all those who posted car analogies.

Make it Barbarella-bots with a mute function, and you've sold me on this product and/or service.
Thank you for your time.
We return you to your regular messages.
Now, go over there in that dark corner and cower in fear, and the rest of us will trailblaze the future.
Or maybe they were trying to avoid a five hour movie?
Constructs like that make me want to hit people with a baseball bat.
is what I think is going to be first major malaise of the 21st century
You mispelled "excuse"
Ever have an attractive, leather-clad woman punch a needle through one of yours? It's something that must be experienced at least once.

Hey, I'm old, not stupid. :-)

Aw... the uncultured little AC is jealous. How precious. :)
My office building has had motion detector controller lights for, like 10 years.
No real point here. Just bragging. :-) And I didn't pay any markup because I am a godlike negotiator when it comes to things like that.
I'm getting about 19 MPG, though, as opposed to my old truck which gets 14. So, it helped a little.
I may replace the truck with one of those Lexus RX3xx hybrids if the waiting list ever goes away.
No, no. It's the special "magna" editions that you can read by sticking them to your refrigerator.
I could live in Japan. I already watch way too much anime and read too many magnas. They have, like, five story stores there with nothing but. :-)

Anyone? Anyone? Beuller? Anyone?
So it's used as a joke where a person says one thing but changes their mind and types something else. By using the ^H they can see your real meaning.
Example: G.W. Bush is the Chimp^H^H^H^H^H Commander In Chief.
And so on.

You might also want them to be non-excreting.
Someone with true Kung-Fu would build a computer out of the fish.

Hmm. A Mountain Dew sounds good right about now.
And yet this country can't seem to produce a decent comedy moovie to save its life.

When the tech I developed won us a $500 million contract, they gave me a color monitor for my PC.
Mac OS XII (Abyssinian)
Mac OS XIII (Selkirk Rex)
Mac OS XIV (Turkish Angora)
Maybe a new better *Linux* will arise. :)
Hey! I tease! Linux is great. Calm down.
