Ha! We used patch panels and patch cords to write our code. I don't know about those high falutin punch cards, probably a fad.

Most people would find it difficult to find a job the remainder of their lives. Microsoft should be grateful for how easy it was for them.

Comcast sent us more campaign donations than you did.

Please don't let facts get in the way of a perfectly good teabagger diatribe.

Plan 9 predates Linux, nobody was open sourcing a commercial product back then.

The most commercial product, I can think of, that went open source, was Blender.

I think the owners of the film should sue: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

BTW, wild flick.

Could be worse, I once had a potential Nobel Laureate, at a national laboratory, demand that I announce machine crashes in advance.

The majority of those stations were built and owned by the oil companies. They later moved to a different model and sold the stations to third parties. Once the issue of laking tanks was discovered, it turns out that many/most of those stations had negative value ( ie. the cost to clean-up was greater than the value of the gas station ). How convenient the oil companies had just completed divesting themselves of these stations when the problems were discovered.

The oil companies screw the American Public yet again.

They got that covered, they'll change names to the Hacker Enforcement Agency. Problem solved.

Congratulations! You're management has set a new world's record for consecutive hours playing Solitaire.

This has been coming for 30 years, can you say ISDN?

Digital has been around a lot longer than that, T1's were introduced in 1962. This is changing from circuit switched to IP. Enabling the carriers to jam more call over less wires/fibers than before. This will, of course, increase profits, but not reduce your bill.

Make that "ARE currently unregulated."

AT&T and Verizon are pushing this. Why? Digital services aren't currently unregulated. Digital services are non-unionized. Digital services don't currently require universal service. Digital services are not required to be repaired in a timely basis. Unless the FCC declares digital services to be common carriers instead of information providers, we are going to get screwed and hard!

Does everything, none of them well.
