All the same, it's hard for me to see Dropbox as a 'tech giant'

Eternal Champignon?

I'm just going to say that if we privatized it, you wouldn't need to deal with people trolling like that on slashdot et al. Your problem solved.

That is, they're no more nutty than the rest of Americans. We're a pretty nutty bunch.

Yeah, then add the matching pair Paul/Cruz on the other side, and the debates will be as good as this one.

Uh, everyone Sheldon Adelson gave money to LOST. Doesn't that kind of go against your point?

I think the point is, if you want someone who will be a good leader, don't choose the one who lied on her resume. That probably would have been a good idea around when Bush was running, too

Close (if you read the article). It was a data-entry problem. When the old records were entered into the computer, the wrong century was selected. The article doesn't say when that happened, it could have been 30 years ago.

IMO the worst is trying to drag up a fight that was silly 100 years ago. It's ok to think that both Edison and Tesla were great men.....because they were. You don't have to choose sides.

Why would anyone want anything near New Jersey

Oh yeah, I almost forgot about you and your logic-without-knowledge. Smart guy, but you don't know what's going on.

So, let's look at the case of the JWs, since you seem to really like it. What is it about that case that seems shocking to you? Why do you keep bringing it up?

ok, I'm just clarifying what the GGP said

At the time, the closest the DOS world had to multitasking was TSRs. Beside my first PC was my CoCo 3 with OS/9 level 2 with 512k of RAM with a true preemptive multitasking kernel running on an 8 but 6809 CPU. Microsoft's dominance at the time meant in many ways the most common 16 bit opposing system in the world was only marginally better than a CPM machine from 1980.
