Occasionally this dream occurs where a giant computer is visualized controlling the entire planet Earth. The color is vivid, details succinct and Congress doesn't mangle the definition of spam. Its called a Giant Computer, but in reality no bigger than the former Mac Cube. The technology is highly advance to the point where my wandering fingers received a good jolt o
Congress just recently voted themselves another pay increase since its getting more difficult to live on what a public servant income providess, speaking fees, donations, etc. You just don't the trials and tribulations of congressional servitude in addition to the economic travails. For examaple, let's look at an average congressmember personal budget: POOR
Security and economic growth are always important considerations. Security in any form as long as its consistent and makeshift in response to a fictitious threat. 9/11 occurred to display weakness in our system unfortunately, but can't help but feel the current administration took advantage of the fear to create their own personal agenda. The economy is still up in the air as too much outsourcing has not resulted in anything positive for our workers

Hey, Zinkadoodle Thanks for commenting and letting me know how the writing is. Note the above on Gee, Golly, Gee, Whiz Ann Coulter. My Mom is a hell of a lady and I certainly toe the line. Best Wishes and thanks again.
Actually, Little Whip, it doesn't. She has a right to coexist on the same planet I do. What bothers me is the willful distribution of hate laden speech she disseminates just to make a profit. She and others like her will find khrama one day and then seek to pacify their own image creation. Coulter, like Joe McCarthy, will suddenfly find herself alone with just her views and will become a very onely person. In that respect, I am empathetic for her,
Its July 5, 2005, the fireworks are over, combat Vets can relax again for another year and various politicians can check the polls to see if their speeches created a rise in popularity. Meanwhile, more GIs are dying in Iraq and Afghanistan midst the fireworks and various spoutings of patriotism at home. President in a Bubble gave a speech at the University
All right, thomassen.....!!!!
Monty Python is so fantastic....do we need their humor now more than ever. Thanks all for posting....
Thanks, drmiler. Regardless, both you, I and many others are concerned about this great nation and can see the many personal agendas in government creating disunity. Thanks for the comment.
I understand Daiwa what you are saying....I forsook both Republicans and Democrats years ago after returning from Vietnam. Have been politically independent since and enjoyed the position immensely. Dirty tricks abound on both sides and have taken the essence of politics away. I disdain the idea of labeling conservative and liberals since I am conservative about some things, but progressive in others; consequently neither label would fit.
I've been around computers a long time and still find many things to amaze me. Emerging technology makes products obsolete in a matter of weeks just when you get to the point of adjustment thus creating consternation over the amount of money spent. Many of us still have Zip drives whether 100MB or 250MB that are still extremely useful. I don't put as much information
Thanks for the comments!
My first computer was a Commodore 64 and what a joy then. The graphics were superb, computing a whiz and hooking up to Q-Link unbelievable. Naturally, a Commodore 128 was the logical next step and my reveling didn't stop. Something happened after that to change my mental health completely: Windows 3.11. Anyone who has been around since the prehistoric days of home co
Both the right and left play dirty politics sadly enough. We need to focus in and remember what this nation stands for to stymy people like Coulter from deriding at ease just to sell a few books. Please, help me either recall or enlighten me to someone in the center or left that accomplishes this type of continuous derision that Coulter does without regard. Regardless, she is not reflective of the America I war born and raised in nor of the
Thank you all for the comments.
It's not that Ann Coulter's recent comments on Gitmo lacked some legitimacy, but taxing to note again a typical Coulter pattern of developing some logic only to be rendered ineffective by verbosity and convoluted thought. Even conservative analysts give her some credit, but then she goes into the irrationality successfully undermining any gained rational thought. Perh
Great tune, Thomassen.......and the words "Suicide is painless, brings about many changes, etc.," is even more fantastic. Thanks for nice melodic comment.....
Apple is considering switching chip manufacturing from Motorola to Intel. Seems I recall IBM once had a financial portion of Intel and wonder what the status of that deal is now? Apple and IBM have been negotiating quite a bit and one can only wonder if something is up that will irritate Redmond Bill. Time will tell...... Somewhere, sometime, the President

Let me try this again without my fingers getting in the way. Apple puts out excellent products. Only difficulty to most average joes is with the price tag which pc manufactures contest with lower priced products. On the other hand, one pays for what they get and I seldom hear of any security problems with Mac. Appreciate all the comments..I learn from all.

Listening to the various arguments almost on a daily basis involving Microsoft, Linux and various other operating systems causes a ringing in my ears that very few painkillers alleviate. I am fortunate enough to have many good friends involved in the computer industry at various levels and listen to them attentively picking up interesting bits of information for appl

I agree with you, Kingbee. Microsoft places products on the market without adequate research and development; and then attempts to rebuke any argument regarding the insecurity of such while simultaneously released security updates. It doesn't make sense to many of us who see the hypocrisy. Secondly, Bill Gates and MS have to incur some of the blame for spyware, etc, since their security inadequacy promoted the development of these nasties in

Thanky you all for reading and commenting on this writing. Kingbee, my friend was not running any firewall, antivirus or antispyware whatsoever when hooked up to Comcast. Granted, she should have been more aware, but wasn't prior to my looking at her system. I immediately set her up with Kaspersky Personal Pro antivirus, SpySweeper and CounterSpy and decided to use McAfee Firewall. She is happy now with few problems other than an occasion
Many nasties exist in cyberland just waiting to plant themselves on an unprotected computer. In fact, recent studies have shown 74% of broadband users had spyware or adware on their computers; 67% had no antivirus or had outdated software on their PCs; and nearly 50% do not currently have a firewall. Statistics can be deceiving, but nearly 85% of computer users do no
