Mrs. Caudle's Curtain Lectures by Douglas William Jerrold
Douglas William Jerrold was the son of an actor manager. After some time in the Navy and as an apprentice printer he became a playwright and later a journalist. He was a contemporary and friend of Charles Dickens. As a journalist he worked for Punch magazine in which Mrs Caudle's Curtain Lectures were serialised, to be published in book form in 1846.
Job Caudle, the 'hero' of the book is a Victorian shopkeeper whose wife finds she can only talk to him without interruption in bed. Caudle, who outlives his wife, finds he can no longer sleep easily because of his memory of these 'lectures' and resolves to exorcise his wife's memory by recording the lectures, it seems with a view to future publication for the edification of others. Jerrold's humour shines through this insight into Victorian middle class culture.
My eye doctor told me he could give me a perscription for reading glasses that would cost over $100 or I could stop in at the drug store in the lobby on the way out and by some +2's for about $5.
I can't remember it exactly but it went something like ths...
First Panel: A young boy is playing a Doom like game. Second Panel: Mother is watching from behind the boy and says 'Why are all these games geared towards boys? Why don't they make any geared towards girls sensibilities? Third Panel: Boy says, "Maybe the question should be, why do girls not just make the games they want and stop complaining about it".
Fourth Panel: Boy is sitting in the corner and his Father is standing behind him and says "When you get out of there come and see me and I will explain the concept of the 'rhetorical question' to you".
Pray that you or your children never develop or have a long term or life time illness because your insurance will never be renewed which of course leaves you to going bankrupt.
You must be an American, pity you do not have national health insurance program. Sure you may have to wait a bit for elective and non-emergency surgery but at least you don't get bankrupted having emergency surgery. (yes there are a few exceptions, some people die waiting, talking about the vast majority here)
If that is the case, it covering all "episodic media", then prior art goes back to 1994 with "TimeOut Sports Technologies" (who are now bankrupt). They had sports pool software that updated all player data for hockey, football, basketball and baseball which was downloaded by the customer every week using the DataPac network.
People who have no idea of how the Internet or its related technology works making laws to regulate it. Next it will be brief cases becasue sometimes important documents get left in them and then they get lost or stolen.
Get some medical isotopes. Spread them around the downtown core. Tell the press that you have laced the area with dirty radioactivity and they, the press, will do the rest.
So now we know that we will have a new energy source in 20 years (current length of patent). Just when oil is starting to run out. By the way I am still looking for someone to build the super battery from the 1970's since the patent protection ran out in the 1990's.
So it appears that every one is just following the example of the United States by imposing their laws on the international community. All Yahoo has to do is not have any of its workers step outside the US.
I remember when Google Moon was first put up. If you zoomed in all the way you ended up looking at Swiss cheese.

NASA Has the Lost Tapes
·
· Score: 5, Informative
In 1969 the Americans first landed men on the moon. Now some people have made names for themselves by saying that this and subsequent landings never happened. Their position is that NASA faked them in order to save face and fool the public. To prove their point they rely on explanations of the reported events using dubious science and lay explanations that any first year science major would and does, laugh at.
However, they always miss or purposely avoid the the one piece of irrefutable proof that it did in fact happen. That is that the Soviet government never refuted the American claims and they were in a unique position to do so. For even after the Americans landed on the moon the Soviets still continued to send orbiters, landers and rovers to the moon.
Now if they wanted to get the goods on the Americans all they had to do was to land, photograph or explore with a rover the American landing sights. Just imagine the embarrassment not to mention the the damage to American credibility, at the height of the cold war no less, that such information would generate. Records even show that they never landed or even explored that areas that that American landings happened. So they did not even go and look to make sure because they knew it really happened.
But they did not. They did not use it to pressure the Americans to stop bombing North Vietnam and Cambodia where Soviet military advisers were being killed as a result. They did not use it to pressure the United States to stop sending military advisers to and providing Stinger missiles to the Afghan fighters during the Soviet occupation. They did not use it to stop the Star Wars program of the Regan administration.
In fact they did not even use it to turn the West's attention away from the Soviet Union during the Soviet Coup of 1991 when members of the Soviet government briefly deposed Soviet president Mikhail Gorbachev and attempted to take control of the country.
Which every body knew was the last death throws of the Soviet empire. If they did not use the information then to turn the attention of the American, and world public, inward to their own governments lies and thus corruption and force it to ignore the events in the Soviet Union in order to deal with a damaging domestic and international issue. Then the proof of faked moon landings did not and never existed.
One final thought. After the fall of the Soviet Union the Russian economy tanked. People were selling all kinds of stuff owed by the crumbling state, ships, weapons, artworks and knowledge but nobody ever approached any Western news agency or tabloid to sell them this information. And to say that one would buy it but not publish is foolish. The seller could just keep peddling it until some on did and then it would be old news and worthless until then it would still be worth something.
Actually, if I remember correctly, all the 'monitors' that you see in the control room were all TV sets. There were only one set of computer monitors with a video camera infront of each one. You saw different data screens by changing channels.
Proportional representation is that last thing you want. It does not work. It is the reason the Mid East problem will never be settled because Israel can never get a single majority government and as a result the ruling element is always a coalition of parties that must be kept happy or they walk and the government falls. Why else do you think the settlements keep going, because the little extreme parties want them to and it is the price the larger mainstream ones have to pay to stay in power. Then of course there is Italy but we wont even go there.

It got so big that managing it was too much like real work. So they quit.
Unfortunately what else can you do with psych majors, at least it keeps them off the streets. Well I suppose that they could work at McDonalds.
We, meaning guys, should probably start bitching about those imaginary men that populate the romance novels.

Actually more like a VCR and a tape that you use over and over.

Punch cards are an input device not a programming language.
It teaches you how a computer really works. That way you can become a 'real' programmer instead of an IDE user.

I have know this for years, after all my parents always called me Sun....
Cuba and Internet Gambling come to mind.

They will hich a ride with the Chineese.
"a non-profit film where none of the cast or crew were paid."
So how did they pay their rent, buy clothes and food for their kids?
