Yes!

The funny thing though is that the really shit hot coders banged the hell out of the hardware and got unbelievable performance. I had things running on my 1 megabyte A500 that amazed my PC owning friends. When I finally got an Amiga 3000 it really got interesting.

The A1200 probably had more hardware options than anything else. I've seen a lot of those towerized with zorro backplanes and all kinds of goodies. It wasn't uncommon for people to spend a couple of thousand dollars on hardware add ons.

I agree. As a conservative I thought when President Obama was elected we'd at least get rid of the Patriot Act and some of the other Orwellian shit from the Bush administration but no! We still have the worst of President Bush's crap with all the bad crap of the Pelosi-Reed camp dumped on top. I have little hope for seeing anyone in the next batch of Republican hopefuls that's worth a shit either. There is no party of smaller government anymore.

Rich isn't necessarily bad but this particular bunch isn't just bad they're low down dirty. The layoff aside there is no shortage of developers they just want to avoid paying decent money. That's it.

A result of what global free market economy? There is no such thing. That's a lie that's been told for so long that people evidently have started to believe it but it's about as real as the East Bunny and Tooth Fairy.

Hell it was only what? A year ago you were 8. I don't understand why you want to repeat that.

In the future it's all about space. He who owns Low Earth Orbit will own the planet. From satellites you can watch and attack at will. ICBM's will be useless so any delivery system will have to be cruise missile or strategic bombers. That's the problem with warfare, the game constantly changes.

The US media lapped up "Soviet" propaganda. The new Russian government sadly isn't Socialist so they don't feel any sympathy for them. I get the feeling NBC thinks the wrong guys won the cold war.

It's no big conspiracy. This is what happens when you start handing out weapons to radical people. "If it flies it dies" makes a great motto for anti-aircraft missile batteries. That's what you get from the crazies operating this weaponry. Not a lot of skill needed to use it so they also don't have the skill to tell a military cargo aircraft from a civilian passenger liner even if they did give a shit. I'm sure Russia didn't want this but they handed out the weaponry to these idiots.

Isn't Lenovo a Chinese company?

So what? It's Microsoft, people will whine and cry about it then bend over for another screwing when Windows 9 or whatever comes next.

An oddly strict definition of conservation....not using it at all would fit under the definition of conservation. Or saving it all for a global emergency to survive a volcanic winter when solar and hydro give out. That's what I was getting at. There's no reason we shouldn't know where it is and be ready to mine it just in case.

I said nothing against going to nuclear as a primary fuel source. It's perfectly feasible except for one small problem - no one will do it or approve it. With that standing as a major roadblock to this day, we still need to conserve what we're using.

I think it's great as long as they can keep the SNR in-margin. The problem is that at certain times of the year, my cable service is just plain unreliable - especially for VoIP - even when uncongested.

I don't subscribe to TV, because they really overcram. I wish they were just using better QAM, but they're also overcompressing the channels on top of that.

As long as you put a 6 on one of those four sides, I don't see a problem.
