hehe me too!

"Oh the humanity!"

That's the main thing I remember from encarta

Thinking about this...you are correct. If you want real in debt knowledge go to the sources. If you want a basic understanding, but not be inundated in the details Encyclopedias do that.

I remember grabbing a World-Book Encyclopedia whenever I needed quick bathroom reading. For a pre-teen/teenager it was perfect. I got a lot of real basic info about interesting subjects. But other than for a grade-school writing assignment, they were just dead trees. I think we got the update books up till 1980...so talk about outdated info.

Encarta was like a breath of fresh air. except you couldn't lug your PC into the restroom to read it.

Now...hell, smartphone+wikipedia and I'm set for life.

Grats to Taco!

He will always be one of us, one of us, one of us...

No, You'll be able to use adapters...according to the article.

Otherwise. yeah that would be a waste.

I thought it was birth control?

That won't stop them...at least not at first.

It's just the "Man" trying to mislead them from an easy score.

Lol, you're my new hero!

Staples had a pen that would record your strokes as you wrote, that you could then download into your PC.

Forget the name, (don't feel like googling), you still need paper though.

I like to write my pseudo-code out ahead of time on certain projects, it would be nice to then import that in when I'm done.

tablets are nice and all, but there's something about hand-writing it out. helps me with memorizing. Typing, "seems" less so.

Yep, I think you got it.

Like the travel salesman problem. A sales man can visit every site, but what is the most optimal travel path.

the more places you add, the bigger the problem becomes....

Um, because we're all citizens of the same country?

I personally do not have any need for a tsunami warning system. But I'll be damned if I want my fellow citizens put in harms way if we can avoid it.

Why can't we all watch each other's backs instead of trying to stab them there?

Damn. it's not socialism, it's good citizenship.
