I have a top notch stereo/Dolby/whatever sound field u need system (All Sony for compatibility), beats anything I could hope to put together again. It's sitting in storage as the introduction of HDMI made it obsolete.

Got a Denon DHT-1312BA receiver as it came with matching speakers ( hell of a time saver), but it's got nothing on my old system, can't even use any of the peripheral components of the old system - unless of course I'm happy with stereo only.

--- While people scoff at the mention of the Usenet or Newsgroups, what's not commonly known is everything is hidden in plain sight, and where you'll find your DRM-less music.
Just need to find it's location, not as popular as it once was old groups are being used for new purposes, alt.biniaries.astronomy.sky is now just one huge movie collection (hard to get across just how many movies it contains - didn't count just scrolled down the list till I got bored) but it's slow going (unless you find a decent server). My Usenet is still free, slow is just fine with me.

Ah yes, the days of jumping head first out of 5 story windows.

Broadcst from JPL, over the com system it was announced it's still rolling, still rolling (nervous laughter), still rolling, ok forgot to account for Doppler, it's stopped now.
(Mars was receding from us).

One stands a chance of pulling it off.

But when I do I pick the best looking horse to at least show, and it's normally paid off, but to show is almost the same as breaking even.

That concern is over, it was a reality awhile back but now days, bragging where you are on a social site can have a cruise missile sent your way. The Internet is all about collecting info, cause it can be sold to Flurry.com who in turn sales it to others for personalized ads (lots of money involved), if you've ever posted of a medical problem you've had, it's public domain. Your private medical records available on demand by just about anybody. Read the next privacy policy you sign over a medical condition, which you authorize anybody having a medical interest in you to request and be sent your records.

I don't think insurance companies are as big of a concern as they once were when it comes to info on you (more so as your no longer able to keep pertinent info from them). Most of the time just getting the correct key words into Google will do the trick. Why I was always from Uganda and a 35 year old male - Yet don't use a proxie and Google knows all of my accounts, the list to choose from is getter rather troublesome. - I could easily rant over this subject, /. was all about warnings of such activity, now it's old hat.

And why I've always refused a flu shot or other frivolous concoctions. When Regan made the older folks take the shots he weeded out the weak ones; I've read many articles where a "harmless" vaccine has caused unbelievable problems for some. I'm fairly healthy less my post below so don't feel it worth the risk.

Living in Washington State I won't even get my dog a rabies shot as the chances are so rare he would become effected, and so great it could take him out. This statement even agreed to by a veterinarian, mentioning the lack of rabies in this area and carried only by bats which in 40 years here seeing only one, and it stuck inside a tree limb that was cut down.

I've always claimed I had hepatitis, twice in fact the first time when I was 5 years old, yet no clue which "strain", last year I had blood work done to test for hepatitis, it came back I had had A and B, not a carrier and I haven't had hepatitis in quite sometime, as told by the antibodies.

A few weeks ago I proved to my self age is catching up, by dropping to the floor when my Kidneys quit working, a series of unusual events saved my life. A blood test was taken (as expected) but they could measure an enzyme and tell I how long I had been on the floor (a very long time). While kool trying to piece together what happened to me, it was claimed by those living close by I was down for less than the given time (so still a bit of work left) - Kidneys started right back up and not a problem now, but I was told I was the bluest person anyone had ever seen.

A blood test from me was explained to my sister as I thought I was being treated in North Korea (just out of it), she couldn't believe what they were able to tell with just that one sample (apparently a lot), she was quite impressed as it was being explained to her.

BTW if interested, I'm retired and the hospital bill less the ambulance ride there came to over $8000, my amount due is $0.00, I've got some great insurance I lucked into just by being older. (and not Obama care).

But with just those two examples, I can see a tell all blood test in the near future.

As most of the time those on the ground are always watching the sky. Not a good way to live ones life. Allah be praised, and make it painless..

I'd suggest giving Opera a try but it will update itself with no warning it will or has.
