We've always had somewhere to go to escape the "assholes"; that's how America was founded.

Of course, we stole most of it, and handed out blankets laden with smallpox to people with no immunity at all, but hey, that's the way it was back then.

The movement to the frontier is what drove most of the innovation in the last 150 years or so; now the War Machine is the only source of most of the funding in the "Free World".

Expanding to space requires you to be locally sufficient for all your needs; can't wait a week for a shipment of o2, lol.

Working in space would definitely thin the herd, tho. :)

There seems to be more overall effort into the obstruction of further progress, than to encourage it.

If we don't get off the planet, there will be an extinction eventually; either an asteroid or a "terrible mistake".

Either way, dispersal is really the only option in the long run.

If it weren't for the politicians, we would have had more moon missions, and the Shuttle wouldn't have turned out to be the clusterfuck it turned out to be.
(If you were along for the ride, the shuttle program was supposed to be completely different; missions every week...)

The cord that I ended up getting with the keyboards I bought ended up making my day today; I rebuilt an old Isa bus system to use with an MCA card, and I needed a 5 pin pre-ps2 keyboard.

I bought 5 of those with the models ms, lol.

I'd love to find one of the ones you have, those come in really handy for programming; there's Nothing like unassigned macro keys. :)

The best upgrade I've found is the rosewill 9000; it's mech keys, and there are several selections of keys/models.

I bought a couple to save wear on my good keyboards, and then found out while gaming they have a better keymapping; usb is limited to six keys simultaneously, but the the rosewills using PS2 connection are not limited. :)

You Can fix the coffee and tea impaired keyboards; I'd pay someone personally. It involves unmelting the plastic spots that hold it all together. Then successfully cleaning and reassembling it.

If it had screws, I'd think about it, but man... I could resolder the keys back in much better than I can melt the plastic back together correctly. :)

I bought a bunch of these from a local National Lab for ~$5 each; the oldest one is from '84, iirc.

I bought them in ~94, and only the one that caught a full cup of coffee has died.

It was cannibalized for keycaps immediately, lol.

They cant afford to see your logic; These guys all want to be guards for the concentration camps, they're paid shills, mostly

If these NSA types actually meant that oath they swore, they'd kill all the other assholes around them violating the law, before the killed themselves.

The fact no one has yet is a clear indicator of how they view the Constitution.

Watch the movie; it's good. :)

Floride is a dirty commie trick to pollute our precious bodily fluids. :)

I saw those shills as well; it's easy to tell who's who when they're talking about Traitors, lol.

Not only that, you paid for it with Tax dollars.

The older cpus only do rpm limits and speed limiters; most obdII cars have speed limits that match the tires it comes with. :)

All my cars are Way too old, lol. :)

All cars with fly-by-wire tech can be turned off remotely, as well as any GM with onstar.

Already done years ago.

Agreed.

I'd like to see all the government officials responsible for this whole NSA spying fiasco to be found hanging from the trees around the national mall; that would be Justice Served.

They are the real Traitors in this; they took the oath, then gave illegal and unconstitutional orders.
