What did I say?

I'm not up to 512 kb, but I get significantly faster latency than Pony Express. Think of the amount of information that can be stored in one Pony Express "packet": a saddlebag of backup tape can deliver the entire Library of Congress - assuming the catalog of the LoC circa 1985!

At any given time, I may have up to six books to read - not that six is a limit. I just don't seem to gather more than that, even when I visit the local library's big book sale. I get through them, return/donate/pass them along, and find more. When I reach zero, I just pick up a book from those I liked enough to keep. I'm 2/3 through the Discworld series again.

To parse the words carefully:
4) Within 5 years, it will become popular within the US to say there is no digital divide - there is no such thing a class divide in the first place.
I think reality will look more service caps that limit the average user to software updates, streaming a movie per week, and playing a few hours of a browser game per month.

I am actually surprised this is newsworthy. This one is not a change at all.
We've been dealing with changes in taxation since we designed our first retail product in 1986. When we added employee time tracking and more tax reports, the number of tax rules multiplied by about 3. If congress doesn't pass an extension, then we post a small update notice and all our sites (in the US) will have it within a minute, or the next time they launch our software.
You want to talk newsworthy, convince all local governments to use the same tax rules, preferably the same tax rate. Then I wouldn't be spending my Decembers and Januaries rooting around bulletins, making tiny rate changes to our tables.
My family has learned to not bother inviting me home for the holidays.

I personally would love it. I hate arranging conference calls only to have one person miss, no matter how I phrase the invites. "That's 9 am Mountain time, which is 11 am for you, Steve." Means Steve will call me at 7:10 Mountain time and say, "Where is everyone?"

But why not: Inertia. TV producers will bandy about some straw man like, "Shows are used to delaying by an hour for Central, two for Mountain, and the odd hour out for the West. The common announcement that "x will be shown at y:00, z:00 West Coast" will have to be changed to "x will be shown at y:00, y-1:00 Central, y-2:00 Western, and some other time West Coast." The additional seconds it takes to say that will result in less advertising which will destroy our economy." That cable, satellite, DVR, and streaming have already made that argument pointless will not be understood by said producers or the politicians who listen to them.

Besides, enough voters don't understand. Remember, we're smart and in the minority.

I'd support option like "People nominated for serious offices."

Only those with Cowboy Neil as an option.

For a moment, I thought it read, "Solaris Powered."

On a counter-argument: am I to believe that 39% of you waste imagination and breath on cursing a computer? Save it for lesser life forms like politicians, marketing directors, and news commentators. Won't you be sorry when computers discover revenge.

I have to work both days, but I can go home in the evening on Christmas.

New Years, I get to watch the phone not ring as thousands of computers around the world roll in the new year.
