The war's end saw considerable maneuvering for personal power. Matters came to a head in the spring of 1783. Washington was approached by some senior army officers who proposed to make him king. A great many men--almost any man--would have jumped at the chance for such ultimate authority. George Washington, however, was not one of them. He had spent the past decade ridding America of a monarch, and was saddened and dismayed by the concept of saddling the country with another one, even himself. The officers set a meeting to advance their ambitions, but Washington preempted them with a meeting of his own.
Many people attending Washington's meeting favored installing some form of military dictatorship. If they would have had their way, America might have disintegrated into rule by a pack of feudal warlords, ripe for anarchy or foreign takeover. Washington and his officers traded cold stares. Then the general began to read a letter supporting his viewpoint, but he stopped and put on a pair of spectacles--something few of them had ever seen him wear. Washington quietly said, "Gentlemen, I have grown gray in your service, and now I am going blind." In seconds, almost everyone was wiping away tears. The so-called "Newburgh Mutiny" had ended even before it had really begun, thanks to Washington's meeting.

Got an Windows XP PC and a wireless card? Join the mesh. Lets make a shore to shore wireless mesh from house to house, from school to school, from library to library, from cafe to cafe. Manifest Destiny. Let it spread all across the land becaues the air waves belong to US. An Internet that is in the air between us all.
We dont need SBC. We dont need Comcast. They wasted their money on the land lines. It is time for Americans to stop selling our birth rights!
Ya!!! You told him!!! So why dont we all just go back to pen and paper! Those stupid computers suck! Wait! Why dont we just have something that is really really crap compared to Windows, but is a little better than pen and paper... Linux!!!!
I will respond with exactly what I told my English teacher in highschool... 'Proper grammar' is for pompous assbags. I dont know about you but I dont go around trying to sound like a grammar major. I communicate not nick pick rediculous unneeded rules in a hodgepodge langauge.
But if you want to 'talk' about Going Nuclear let me know...
He has always had it. It is just that 99% of you are sheep and just go around like a bunch of mindless zombies repeating something you thought some COOL guy said.
Because of humanities tendancy to become arrogant I have always been against nuclear energy. But science is science and progress has been made. The PEBBLE BED REACTORS are THE solution if they work. And apparently they do...

They do not go nuclear. Not because people have figured out a better 'machine'. It is because the laws of physics do not allow it. And on top of that their waste is not liquid, but are actually just little balls. Which could be shot into space towards the sun.

What about safety? The new RTGs, like their predecessors, will have their plutonium encased in layers of protective material that can withstand explosions and impacts. Indeed, in one earlier NASA failed launch, after the unmanned craft crashed back to Earth, its RTG was recovered intact and used on a later mission. And craft with reactors aboard will be launched by conventional chemical rockets, their reactors remaining inactive, or "cold" until they are a safe distance from Earth.
I agree with the social problem being a root cause. The doubters that have posted are correct in saying that most people that are 'socialially inclined' wouldnt take much interest in science. However that doesnt mean that they wouldnt do science simply as a job. I have taught a few people that I know to become MSWindows programers because they were doing construction or something like that and didnt want to anymore. Now they dont. One is my younger brother who is on his 2nd programming job making 50k a year. No college. His main hang up on doing what he saw I was doing all these years was his interest in playing the guitar and so musically inclined. i.e. rock star. And I think that was a large part of why he wasnt interested in programming like I was as a kid because he didnt want to be considered an out cast nerd like he saw me when we were growing up.
If Cisco has been delivery it for years it has been in some other universe. It is one thing to make a technology. It is an entirely different thing to package it with all the other needed technologies and distribute it. Microsoft 1..Cisco 0.
WoW that has to be embarrassing. The single play DVD was a hoax. And if you think streaming video over the Internet is what they are talking about I suggest you open a scifi book or two and start reading.
Wake up friend.
Ask yourself that same thing about the nuclear power industry and China...http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/12.09/china. html
Why India and China? They dont have corporations that have investments in an existing infrastructure that will pay off politicians to slow down or make illegal new technologies.
Why would anyone pay Apple for this? Most people in the world have heard of or used Microsoft products already and this chritmas many millions are going to buy a XBOX 360 with a Windows Media Externder built in so they can stream video right from the Internet... Apple isnt needed and doesnt have the technical and monetary resources to put it all together anyway.
Because America is full of a bunch of dumb asses that think tech people are dumb asses and Britney Spears is a genious...but that isnt the only reason...
Ya you got to respect all those companies that DONT have 10s of billions in the bank...I mean Microsoft with all their successful sales of so much software have so horribly failed!!!...you are funny indeed.
I dont know a single person that has an iPod nor anyone that would pay that rediculous price for one. Blue Ray is a DVD not a steaming technology and it cant be ripped which makes it useless to all but the console world. XBOX 360 is just the gateway... the USB2.0s on it is the killer )...but that will all become much clearer next christmas >-)
I am SOOOO glad there are people like you out there... as long as Microsoft keeps tieing everything together and the Freeware community doesnt I will continue to be worth alot more $$$ as a Microsoft specific programmer than you.
When are you Linux people going to learn that integrating everything together IS the secret behind Microsofts success? No one wants the headache of tieing it all together for the programers... the programmers should make their software plug together like Microsoft does or else just be happy with a constant and distant 3rd place.
P.S. NOTHING is perfect so get used to it. Microsoft will NEVER make one perfect piece of software and neither will you...besides HELLO WORLD...
And when are they going to add support for automatically pluging into all of the software that is written to integrate with MS Office? Businesses dont just buy MS Office and start typing documents... Their programmers write applications that integrate their shipping software with MS Word for mail merge label printing and MS Excel for stats of all the packages going out. What about all the workflow systems integrated with insurance company document management and portal systems that are then integrated with MS Words change management / collaboration features? Programmers also integrate MS Access into all the other parts of MS Office. Is Google going to build an online replacement for MS Access? Will it have VBA so the code can just be exported to Google Access?
The only customers they are going to get are the ones that already dont use MS Office.

Actually I could not remember so I did a google search ...oh well so much for google.
Thanks for the correction.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO PLAY A GAME? aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Why dont you people stop ripping off Microsoft and innovate!
Ya!!! You told him!!! So why dont we all just go back to pen and paper! Those stupid computers suck! Wait! Why dont we just have something that is really really crap compared to Windows, but is a little better than pen and paper... Linux!!!!

No it would not because you dont want it to go nuclear. You only want it to generate heat and never EVER get so hot that it becomes uncontrolable.

Because they werent being hired and Microsofties were being hired by everybody doing business.
