  1. Re:Who cares? on Does Your College Or University Support Linux? · · Score: 1

    What is there to stop you from using two computers? Granted, it wouldn't be such an elegant solution as spoofing hardware, but it seems to get the job done.

    2004 - 1883 = 221 years in the grave? Your math doesn't smell so good either!

  3. Re:Porn at least won't kill this one... on Philips VCR Records MPEG On (D-)VHS tape · · Score: 1

    I'm old enough to remember those days in the early 80's (At least I think it was at that time) when we had three vcr standards. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that the reason that the Philips Video 2000 standard lost to the technically inferior VHS and Betamax standards, was that the tapes were called VCC tapes and the system 'Video 2000'. In my marketing education this was listed as a classic marketing mistake, all those customers who didn't see any Video 2000 tapes, only VHS, Betamax and VCC tapes.

    I don't agree, think of the implications of birth control pills. For the first time in history women are able to control when or if they will have children. The consequense of this was that women could easier join the workforce, therefore expanding it 100%. It could be argued that the birth control pill is the greatest achievement of the twentieth century period.
