  1. Player piano on Ask Slashdot: High-School Suitable Books On How Computers Affect Society? · · Score: 2

    Player Piano by Kurt Vonnegut....

  2. Re:and the all important $$$ factor on Kingston Introduces 1TB Flash Drive · · Score: 1

    Yeah, about $1200 installed in a "real" IBM PC-XT...

  3. Re:Consulting on Ask Slashdot: Finding Work Over 60? · · Score: 1

    You've discovered the ugly fact of ageism (I'm 58 - been through it) - and the other posters are offering the only advice I have - get your consulting business going NOW! As a contractor, they care only that you can do the job - as it should be. As an employee, you'll never see an interviewer to be discriminated against...I even tried just leaving the first 15 or so years of experience off the resume...but it's reality.

  4. Re:Don't try on Ask Slashdot: Best Science-Fiction/Fantasy For Kids? · · Score: 2

    Maybe a little Jules Verne? or a little EE Doc Smith "Valeron" - lots of action....

  5. Re:Arrogance beyond belief on Apple Forcing IT Shops To 'Adapt Or Die' · · Score: 1

    You do realize that the new Lion server includes PostgreSQL right?

  6. Re:Car Analogy on Italian Consumer Watchdog Sues Microsoft Over 'Windows Tax' · · Score: 1

    Bad analogy - more like you can only run Chevy brand gasoline, oil & tires.

  7. Re:The Report on Scientists Offered Cash to Dispute Climate Study · · Score: 1

    This particular report IS NOT being produced by the scientists - it's being produced by U.N. politicians. The scitentific version isn't due out until summer, and there are actual qualified scientists writing their small individual sections.

  8. Re:Oh Jesus.. on Bush Signs Bill Enabling Martial Law · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Get a clue -- the American public is very heavily armed last time I checked...the government doesn't like us owning 200 million plus firearms...be glad for the 2nd amendment...that's what it's ther for. We can, and will shoot back. One day you might actually be glad there's the NRA protecting your rights to not be opressed at teh end of a rifle from your government....

  9. Re:Wait a second... on Theaters Unhappy About Faster DVD Releases · · Score: 1

    It hasn't been Grauman's for over 30 years...It was Mann's when I saw the original Star Wars there ....long long ago....and ET, and and and...etc....
