Quoting The Nation as a source? Really? For those too uninformed to know what I mean, The Nation is nothing but the spigot out of which the Current Truth of radical socialist talking points runs. Seriously, it is pure propaganda. It says a lot that The Nation supports those who are promoting the man-made climate change narrative.

Honestly I think I speak for a number of us here. We don't care anymore about Ds or Rs.... They can all go fuck themselves with a red hot poker...

...and don't even get me started on OpenOffice.

Open-office is DEAD to me... Never again... Libra-office has some issues but less than MS WORD if you ask me. It can't do everything WORD can do but who the fuck wants all that stupid shit. If you are a publisher you have to use something better anyway because of the various formating options now... If they aren't then I give them 10 years tops before they die...

I wanna see a Beowulf of Arduino ATmega328 chips. They cost 4 bucks!

The high-performance Atmel 8-bit AVR RISC-based microcontroller combines 32 KB ISP flash memory with read-while-write capabilities, 1 KB EEPROM, 2 KB SRAM, 23 general purpose I/O lines, 32 general purpose working registers, three flexible timer/counters with compare modes, internal and external interrupts,serial programmable USART, a byte-oriented 2-wire serial interface, SPI serial port, 6-channel 10-bit A/D converter (8-channels in TQFP and QFN/MLF packages), programmable watchdog timer with internal oscillator, and five software selectable power saving modes. The device operates between 1.8-5.5 volts. By executing powerful instructions in a single clock cycle, the device achieves throughputs approaching 1 MIPS per MHz, balancing power consumption and processing speed.

They only bet a dollar.... black humor. None of them really knew for sure. If such a device had went off in the distant past it probably would have burned the whole earth.... o2 was much higher at one point... If I remembering my epoch old info... But I'm not sure that was the problem. You would need to google it but they did place a bet and Oppenheimer did say right afterwards "I have become death, distorter of worlds." and not in a cute way. It really freaked him out because he knew he had helped end the world. He was sure what he and his people made would kill all of us. I saw an interview with him and it was clear the man was scared although he hide it well but a few questions you can see it show. Wish I could point you to it but this was years ago and on pbs or something so I donno... I'm talking 1994 here...
