You are missing the point. My mechanical watch tells me exactly what time it is and it allows me to pick on everybody else at my meetings for being late and I don't care what time their phones say it is. Meetings start according to my watch...
Exactly. The 100 mi includes about 99.999% of the USA population. So this is a huge power grab of the Federal gov over the States. Smacks of a return of Civil War Martial Law - the whole USA now answers to Washington DC.
OK, so you are saying that I don't have to turn the bladdy nepomuk thing off anymore as the first step after an install, since it may actually work now?
Yup, it is obviously a very flat asteroid. Maybe it escaped from the Terry Pratchett disc world series. Just wait till the giant turtle floats past - that will be much bigger news.
You are joking, but that is pretty much how life used to be until about 1965 or so. Nobody used to lock their homes and drivers actually picked hitch hikers up too.
I've been running a little Linksys thingy for years with open access and set to 1 Mbps WiFi, which amounts to about 300 kbps in practise. It is enough for people to check their email and so on and doesn't bother me on my 5 Mbps connection.
Yup, when I write Perl, it ends up looking almost exactly, but not quite unlike C. Someone that can make a mess in Perl, can make a mess in any language.

Don't underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of floppy disks... though I suppose you kidz are too young to understand this thread.

Me. My mechanical watch tells me the time. I know exactly what time it is and all these people that are always late for my meetings be damned...
Im wearing a mechanical self winding watch. A very nice Seiko. I would not want to spoil it with electronic parts.
I hope you did not turn those kitchen appliances on yet mate. Since your voltage is double the American, you will get a rather big whoosh...
Yes but Apple`s will be rectangular with rounded corners.
Well, maybe they will come up with something better than a LED watch.
If it is working, then an "upgrade" cannot make it better. It can only be the same or worse.

Then you use the laser to burn out the word of course
My Kindle has a very nice predictive typing thing.
Well, The Moon does the same thing. It orbits the sun and just wobbles a little bit.
My Linux boxes aint got no screens or rodents either.
Ubuntu with Unity is the new EMACS. It makes any computer slow.
That is not news. You can use Xubuntu/Fedora/Suse/Mageia/PCLinusOS or any number of alternatives and they will all work fine.

Kestrel. Nuff sed.

"I always saw those kind of symbols as reminders for the programmer"
Just like the Microsoft long lost love affair with hUngarian nOtation, it produces unreadable code, with no actual advantage.
(OK, I should now get an award for dragging mention of MS into a Perl discussion!)

On a Kindle, it would be any word in the dictionary except 'whoosh', unless you turned the autocorrect feature off.
I think Boeing already has such technology in their Dreamliners.
