OT: Google cars caught snooping

Sorry, crossed cartoons. "Penelope Pitstop"

(I use P names for Portable machines -- laptops)

Dudley/Nell/Snidely are PC's. Popeye & Penelope are laptops. Pinky is an anomaly (it's an X terminal) but I had to use it to pair off against TheBrain (another X terminal of the same vintage)

No, there was another "Joe" -- Joe Besser -- who came "after" Shemp.

It's not so clear. My brother (65) loves SMS and his daughter (35?) would rather not. I(57) don't like either SMS or voice, but will put up with voice if I have to. The brat (31) and his bride (23) have all the i-toyz.

My son has always had a PC. We got our first when he was three and he was banging on it before I could get to it. ;-)

Nah, it's fun stuff. Getting paid for it means I don't have to do it at home, though.

Then you die. Gotta keep moving. When I "retired" (no intention of staying) it took a couple of months to get *really* bored. It took that long because I was sick for three, then another three or four to get the house ready to sell. By July I was going loopy sitting around the house. If you think TV sucks, try it during the daytime. ;-)

I have a suspicion that SMS tends to grow on people are they get used to the tiny keyboard.

I'd always thought your brat was a girl, Keith, as John's is!

More proof of how utterly retarded you are.

When are you going to stop making utterly retarded posts?

This remark is proof that you are an imbecile.

There could be nothing on the mast BUT cameras, and they could STILL use it as an antenna, you stupid little bitch.

I never said it did. But since you're a foaming lunatic, you can believe whatever the aliens are telling you as they insert the probe.

LOL. You really are a weirdo. You also ought to check out exactly what optics are in the 3GS. I mean, nobody is listening to a rampantly bizarre word you're saying anyway, but occasionally you come out with a statement like this and it's very lolarious.

I took semiconductor physics from Streetman (don't know if his book is still in use, though). He was my advisor, too.

One of my brothers is a veterinarian. His profs always required their book, and then proceeded to read it to the class.

The problem with that theory is that now they have to do more of that crap, because they can.

...and screens. Maybe. I do prefer email to voice.

He does live in Vermont, but nope.

So that is what the guy at the airport doing the foot thing was about. You are a true statistician! (complete and utter bullshit stats)

Give us some more total retardation, Millard, you stupid f*ck.

I watched an old (1980s) episode of Columbo (sp?) where a secretary has to explain how these newfangled "fax machines" work as they were part of the plot. The irony being, that an explanation as to what a fax machine was is still necessary now because they are almost totally obsolete.

Paper books may survive, but I doubt newspapers will be around in 20 years.

In 20 years there will also be a new slogan - "Everything is the Net"

But what are all the businessmen going to read for the first and last 15-30 minutes of flights if not USA Today? :-)

They can read it on the large LCD monitors on the back of the seat in front of them. At current newspaper prices, the airlines could pay them off in a few months. :)

Fax machines are a lot older than the '80s. WUFax was one system. Another was called a 'Wirewriter' that let you write on one machine and it would be sent over a leased phone line to one or more receivers. The US military used them at one time to distribute weather data to pilot's ready rooms.

I'd be surprised if airlines (and hotels) pay anything for those newspapers other than the extra fuel to haul them around.
