35% to 60% of the subscribers that surf the internet would vanish in a week (maybe more) they would cancel their ISP accounts, and sell their computers or use them for strictly offline use, (computers do have a purpose other than surfing the internet)
dont worry, there will be a culling of the population, i am sure it will extend the availability of what is left of the natural resources for a little while longer
I own a few acres of wooded land and if i could buy a mini helicopter with a downward & forward facing camera (45 degrees) to keep an eye on my land from inside my home at my computer would be great! i would be willing to pay a few hundred for a system like that
i am not saying they made a bad product, but they charge way too much for their products, i dont buy electronics to make a fashion statement, i buy an electronic product because it has a functionality that suits a purpose, and i find better value in alternatives to apple's products
the money factor needs to be removed from campaigns and restrict all politicans running for office only one hour of television time and a single youtube channel for all the politicians to share and upload videos via an impartial third party so the politicians dont start trolling eachother on it,
what obama is doing should be illegal, what they all are doing is immoral and should be illegal
makes me mad at companies like WinRadio and RF_Limited and Icom etc... that charge damn near 1000 bucks and more for a computer controlled shortwave radio or wideband radio when i know they probably have maybe 50 to 150 bucks in hardware
i wont ever buy one of those high dollar software defined radios or software controlled radios knowing they are not worth what they are asking, i will sooner buy a cheap portable like a sangean for about a hundred bucks
all browsers except chrome on the Linux platform wont make me switch browsers, i will just do without, and say fuck you adobe and fuck you too google, i dont need either one of them
not anymore, all they are seeing is the light that was emitted by them billions of years ago, the more you learn about the universe the more you realize how little you really know
that sure brings back memories, when i was a kid i had a brother and two sisters and mom was a stay at home mom and dad worked, there was one dial phone for everybody, you know what it is like trying to get to use the phone with that many siblings (especially sisters), cellphones have not been invented, the personal computer not invented, the family car was a 1958 Chrysler Imperial and for fun there was board games or i could go outside and ride my bicycle or skateboard which was dangerous because a pebble could lock up a wheel and off you go flying like a bird without wings so the first lap down the sidewalk was slow so i could brush aside any pebbles, and in an empty lot there was a rust hood of an old car we used as a jump for our BMX style bikes,
fossils of plants & animals are not the only source of natural gas, carbon is among the most common elements in the universe and that also comes from stars
if there is not enough oxygen in the thin Mars atmosphere what if natural gas in the ground occasionally erupts but does not ignite (if there is no ignition or lack of oxygen)
and dont forget the windows users that insist on logging in and running as admin/root for a regular user account because they dont want to be inconvenienced with having to type in a password for anything
my own brother runs his PC like that and i explain to him the concept of a multi-user system that has root and user accounts and he just stares off in to space with that deer in the headlights look on his face
to spread misinformation to those foreign spys that only think they compromised DoD computers (naw too good to be true) the US Gov is too stupid to do anything like that
like if somebody records Bach or some other older music that is open and non-copyrightable then when someone records an album for sale and it contains classics of long dead artists then they should not expect any copyrights to it since they did not actually create anything they just recorded someone else's creation
and sets in the west, if you were in a spaceship directly above the north pole looking down on earth which direction is the earth rotating? (counter-clockwise) what if you put a garden gnome at the north pole with one of those geeky propeller hats so the rotation of the earth gave it a slight lift and another gnome at the south pole with a geeky propeller hat so it has a slight lift too, (not sure where i am going with this but just thought i would throw it in the pot 0' gold)
then vote with your wallet, i have never owned an iphone or any other brand of smartphone for exactly that reason, i refuse to spend as much on a cellphone as i would a desktop or laptop computer, i opted to buy a cheap Tracfone for for around 29 bucks and buy a pre-paid card to program it with by three months at a time, that way if my phone gets lost or stolen or broken i have not lost much on it

they buy me a box of chocolates and some flowers too, and a long kiss on the lips with some wet toungue would be nice too.

RE: "Currently any (insert big namebrand-here) company, who doesn't donate to Obama, gets every possible regulation thrown at them"
