Yes, but you probably need to change the battery every few million years or so. That's where they will make their money . . . kinda sorta like printer cartridges or iPhone batteries.

You get the atomic clock cheap, but those extras cost you!

I read the print edition of The Economist, actually. It's an excellent source for deep analysis of the news.

For instance, rumors in Central America of the coming Obama amnesty are what drove the surge in illegal immigration this year in the first place. The Obama administration could have taken actions to quell these rumors . . . which would have stopped the surge . . . but they didn't.

Because Obama is thinking about granting amnesty to all illegal immigrants in the US. So if legal H1-Bs overstay their visas, and become illegal immigrants . . . poof . . . they will become legal residents. For H1-B employers, mission accomplished. More people willing to work for less. And the employers will not need to go through the paperwork hassle for getting H1-Bs.

That's why.

This would create a new digital divide . . . those who pay for their Internet usage . . . and those who don't.

First come public housing . . . and then city shelters . . . who's next . . . ?

This deal is great for Comcast . . . they will get new subscribers, who would otherwise have not signed up with them. The costs will be passed on to paying customers.

This deal is great for the NYC government . . . because city agencies will not have to pay for their Internet anymore. Again, the costs will be passed on the paying customers.

People complain about their Comcast bills every month anyway . . . why not just squeeze them a little more, and just let them complain anymore.

I can easily see who this proposal will benefit. Can you spot who loses on this deal . . . ?

If they had known how to make booze out of corn, they wouldn't have been sick of it.

Well, my wacky-parser returned, "Brown Shattered Wave Function", end thought they were talking about this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B...

Maybe that was the intent of the terrorists . . . !?!? They are now going at us using "Joke Warfare": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T...

I think the NSA needs to hire more Joke Analysts to carefully monitor this danger on the Internet!

No one expects . . . the Ebola Inquisition!

1. Declare your abode to be a Royal Temple of the Seriously Slashdotted
2. Slip through the same tax loopholes that other religions do
3. Profit!

That fires an NMI for me right there. I'm not particularly fond of "Ballmer's World".

I would be quite pleased if he would do us all a favor, and keep his world to himself.

Yes! What are we trying to set up in the free world . . . another East Germany, where people were not allowed to leave the country?

Take away their passports when they enter the Islamic States. But let them out! They can get new passports when entering the Islamic States.

Oh, just please tell the truth . . . you have just "shorted" Home Depot stock this morning, and are now profiting because the Home Depot stock is now tanking! :-)
