I wired my house with 30 pin cables and now I have to rip it out and pull 8 pin cables.

Agreed. "TVs in the bedroom and dining room". My mom had a TV in the bedroom and living room since the early 60s. For the sarcasm challenged, she is not tech savvy. And I don't thin being "wired" by watching movies and playing game consoles is something to brag about. By that definition my seven year old is wired. Definitely a slow Sunday.
Not enough money in the budget for a cup.
"Tornados also give you wings!" Cut to 30 second commercial.
My Mom (tm) disagrees.
I would presume the set designers did additional work to hide the false nature of the set pieces after trashing them for the crash scene.
Same reason my Christimas tree is decorated on only one side.
I hope whenever it is hit by a blast from enemy weapons everybody can fall over to the left and then to the right.
Uh, enemy weapons? Who the hell is hosting the parties you're attending? I'm guessing a descendant of Hatfield or McCoy.
It isn't clear on whether Dr. McCoy has any descendents. It depends on which series.
and went all Linux in house. Told the kid to suck it up for any games that were not available on console. 5 years later I get a couple of complaints here and there but sure as hell beats reinstalling windows every 6 months.
The upside is the closet full of Atari Pong trophies.
Terrible advice unless you have a refrigerator on your porch. Use OpenDNS and block many different things supplimenting the firewall/nat you already have.
Reinstall the image every month or three.
That isn't necessary.
As others already mentioned, that's rarely a problem, but you can get Advanced Tokens Manager and backup the activation.
2) Educate your kids on the types of website to avoid. Sites like Limewire (where kids get free MP3's from) are full of viruses and spyware.
Use OpenDNS to block broad categories of sites, including those that aren't malware (porn, hate, etc.).
4) Install some add ons for the browser. No Script is a good one. It blocks Java Script and the bad guys love to use that to wreck havoc.
Not necessary if you've done the things above.
6) Consider something like Norton Ghost (there are free alternatives as well) that can create a full image of your HD. Take snapshots before doing major system updates. If something goes wrong you can just restore the image and everything is as it was.
Windows 7 images natively.
7) Running Windows as a VM on top of Linux is a good idea. If something goes south you can simply copy the pristine image back over the corrupted one.
Or run Windows from a VHD.
8) Stay on top of the System Updates. Microsoft has "patch Tuesday" where they typically release system patches. Some of them are important and fix known vulnerabilities.
Set updates to "automatic" and forget it.
Thanks for that. Not everyone can view
First world problems.
Besides not being funny any more, your statement demonstrates a lack of knowledge of mobile devices in developing countries.
I'm pretty sure you could build yourself a whole bunch of ground-based dishes, or even a few geo-stationary relay stations, for the cost of a moon base and relay infrastructure to get the data from the far side to the near side. There are reasons to put stuff on the far side of the moon, but handling comm traffic from the dozen or so probes we've put out there isn't one of them.
If you RTFA you'll find out which of your statements are wrong and confirmation of the correct one.
Fortran 77 and UCSD Pascal on DEC PDP-11/70.
Holy cow. Me, too. And I'll add I'm damn lucky in those days they didn't know what to do with people that wandered into parts of the system they didn't belong. I was dumb enough to write a program that I was sure would shut the system down and smart enough to not run it.
The one day you'd sell your soul for something, souls are a glut.
