But I don't "send text messages". I "cowboyneil".

This is how - jailing atheists and closing Christian churches.

I agree. In addition, when their families are sitting in my waiting room, their non-vaccinated brood are spread infectious diseases to vulnerable patients - those too infirm or too young to be vaccinated.

Why should I permit the vulnerable patients to be exposed to vaccine-preventable diseases? Am I not responsible for their care even more than I am for those who prefer to ignore my advice?

It was back when the P4 was new. I changed employers, and went from an IBM PC XT to a Pentium 4.

Strangely enough, that former employer with the ancient XT's is no longer in business.

My credit card has a chip. I pay using my PIN number instead of signing a slip of dead wood. I try to leave the trees alive where they are.

There are alternative ways of generating electricity without tapping into the grid. Stationary bicycles, for example.

Y'know, maybe you Americans should get a "freedom of speech" amendment to your Constitution. That would stop these attacks on civil liberty right quick.

I watched. I screamed, "Go, baby, go!!" I found myself wishing I was on it.

I also found myself wishing that a passenger-only replacement space plane was already in NASA's inventory. Let's face it, turning the Shuttle into a space truck made it unnecessarily complex and dangerous.

I have it on very good authority that Atlantis is not in Spain. It's in Florida, assigned to Launch on Need Mission STS-335. Hopefully it never is needed, but instead goes directly to the National Museum of the United States Air Force.

Sort of like Microsoft...

...a head's-up display. Some might consider it kewel to have a jet-fighter-like HUD, but I think it's practical: I don't have to take my eyes off the road to tell how fast I'm going.

I'd also like some sort of protection from the idiots who think their cars have the options listed above - especially the jet engine.

Should I count my cat? She thinks she's a people...

"Rob Enderle, an analyst with the Enderle Group"

No, Rob Enderle is the Enderle Group.

Based on Rob's reporting history with companies like the SCO Group, Novell, IBM and Microsoft, I've long ago concluded he inhabits his own little fictional world.

This report is quoting quite heavily from Rob the Delusional. If he says Google is going, they're probably staying.

Where "N" is the top floor
and "L" is the highest floor the firefighters' ladders can reach
and "N" > "L", I'll pick a floor between the ground floor and Floor "L"

I had a car that could split in two. The mechanism by which it did this feat was called "rust".
