It's amazing how much of the series made in '85 ended up becoming so true later.
Between Mr. Bush and Britney Stabbythings we're still on our way down. Everything tends to revolve around TV and there are cameras everywhere.
I wouldn't be surprised if some people started lobbying for un-turnoffable TVs with cameras in them in the near future, as soon as technology allows. After that you'd better get used to watching Wackets...
call me stupid, but what does this stand for? (DUKNCVR)?
DUcK aNd CoVeR. As in look at the pretty light, I'd better duck and cover because that will protect me from the car thats about to fly into me when it starts to get windy.:-)
Thats good for casual protection, I think you're supposed to do the random writing over 25 times nowadays though for the paranoid.
I've hear other people prefer to drill a hole through the drive.
Yet others disassemble it, wipe off the oxide and burn the rags and stomp up and down on the remains and put it in a canister of nuclear waste and bury it in a volcano.
I think mailing it to the sun would suffice.
Re:If they were playing Painstation, I'd watch!

G4: The Pong Channel?

Wasn't pain also delivered as huge square texels filling the screen?
The big reason why the data is so resilient though is (if things haven't changed from the C64) that the magnetic transitions are what hold the data. So you really need to flaten it out magnetically to erase it.
Oh, and I think while most speaker magnets have nice range they don't have the intensity of the neodymiums I have. I wouldn't be surprised if my largest one could pick me up 'n shit.:-)
You know, there are scads of scientists working for the govt who could probably get on the short list for the Nobel if they were allowed to publically publish...

Do you think hitting people with rocks on the head is an art?
It is debatable whether wine qould qualify as an unlicensed copy of Windows, though.
Bran flakes aren't corn flakes.
And WINE isn't Windows (licensed or otherwise).
Anyone know which font they used?
It sure wasn't Topaz/9.
I'd suspect it was just part of the vector renderings.

Wonder if there really are some kind of particle eddies which would damage the sails?
I think an attack by the dominion is more likely.
I'd rather find the next OGR.

Only if they can manage a city-wide game of pong. :-)
Besides... What the hell can a $600.00 watch do for me that is WORTH spending $600.00 on it?
Ummm, shoot lasers?
Books won't die. People like not having to change batteries.
:-)
And termites love the taste of plastic and metal.
Just recently a mouse ate some of my laptop.
Thats what they get for going cheap and using single-walled nanotubes! :-)
I hope they do not attack our cyber.
We like it very much.
I think slower computers are better for learning. Gives a much better view of whats going on inside.
but what do I do with all these useless CDRs I've coastered over the years?
Make a big sculpture, sell it for alot of money, and buy a rig that doesn't make coasters without the help of crashes or abort buttons.

try that with pong
Add Arknoid elements to two player pong and you'll have some serious strategery (to quote Mr. Bush) going on.
I wish I had seen more than the half minute or so that I did.

You mean a lower power consuming harddrive got snuck into a laptop!?!?
THE NERVE!
Yeah. Some day we'll need to develop font size control technology to head off all this nasty resolution.
Strong magnets don't erase floppies, zip disks, etc..
;-)
I have some rather large neodimium magnets and I'd be more than happy to demonstrate how they can.

The Nobel I Made Killing More Efficient prize.
An LP turntable that runs at 1,000 rpm or so. Good for ripping the old LP collection.
:-)
Literally rip?
I've chalked centrifugal force up as another term for inertia.
If theres anything about centrifugal force that would still have effect if inertia was abolished let me know.
