I will pay my verizon bill in the 1930's equivalent. That should come out to be about $.08.

Pay the price.

Might be a great excuse to replace SSNs with something better- like a key pair.

I don't think that word means what you think it means.

Try "Science by Oligarchy".

We should sequester our carbon in carbon fiber. If someone can come up with an efficient way to make carbon fiber out of CO2, we could have massive solar farms provide the energy to pump the stuff out and use it to build all kinds of things like bridges, skyscrapers, space elevators, and fake christmas trees.

The fire engine guy.

HyperCard was awesome. It was fairly easy to create a fully functional gui application that someone might pay money for- possibly without writing a line of code. My first serious application was in HyperCard. HyperCard was dog-ass slow though.

I think Apple killed HyperCard because of the performance issues, and because it didn't fit into Jobs' vision. Once they settled on NeXT for OSX, the NeXTStep environment had a lot of cutting edge rapid development features but with the speed of compiled code. They didn't want to develop two separate environments, so HyperCard got the axe.

It is too bad. I would love to see HyperCard alive again.

DST is a fascist ploy to make more money from the proletariat. In the spring, they "borrow" an hour of our time, and then give it back in the fall. Time is money. Borrowed money earns interest. Do they pay us interest on the time they borrowed from us? Nope. For each of us individually this is a paltry sum each year, but year after year for all of us it really adds up.

I also really hate waking up before the sun comes up.

It's all the techno music I listen to when I'm resting. I'm not gonna give that up.

Hell yeah! Mod parent up!

They look great for hardware manufacturers! If Oracle were to go away, RAM manufacturers would go out of business.

That would be awesome.

It was the indigenous people who didn't have enough money to purchase beans for themselves, but wanted to find out what the hoopla was all about.

It could be worse. You could be a sysadmin.
