Agreed.

Every person in the NSA involved in the wholesale spying on Americans Should be Shooting themselves as a Domestic Terrorist.

Did anyone (Except Snowden...) actually Listen to the Oath they Took?

The "End justifies the Means" historically leads to Slaughter in the End.

Headshots take that right out.

Jed and Jethro practiced ricochet shooting in the 60's; using a Barett 50cal makes it a bit harder, but what else do we have to do all day? :)

Most of us practice head shots for hours at a time.

People in the South tend to have guns within reach at all times; what could possibly go wrong? :)

Lol.

Yes, it was primarily for high bandwidth communications; SCSI, Fiber, etc.

DataAq was secondary, but the cards I have have a 50pS jitter spec, and it holds across four cards in one box; try buying that for less than $20k today.

The best cards I see these days won't hold that jitter spec; only systems.

With a "good" (lol) mobo, I was able to run my VLB board at 50MHz, with certain combinations of cards and memory.

I ran a 486-DX4-100 for a couple of years with that mobo, a SCSI card, an Orchid Fahrenheit video card, with a 2x multiplier and a 50MHz fsb.

I still have this somewhere, lol.

It got replaced with a TX430 mobo, lol.

I have a bunch of these, and some top of th line IBM servers (c1991) to run them.

They are better than everything newer except the Aquaris... :)

Modern ones are Much larger; I could provide a link if you'd like... :)

There was a James P. Hogan story that involved reading a 50,000 year old book with such a scanner.

1978 or so, I think...

I got my first one when I was 5, my really nice one when I was 8.

Amazingly enough, electronics were more fun than explosives; hooda thunkit?

Your kids will do better if you're only there for the bigger problems; hovering is not good.

I'll stand by what I said; we did Not share everything with the British, without Fuchs, tit would have taken them much longer.

Soviets too.

He pretty much Gave the bomb to both the British and the Soviets.

The drag is that there probably is a more Evil character involved than DPR, much like the movie.

I predict there will be R.O.U.S. springing from the woodwork everywhere soon as well. :)

There is a lot of Parallel Construction at work as well.

Spinning a dial control that had Mass, and would continue after you flipped it...

Are you sure this isn't Darjeeling? :)
