I'm thinking there is a very fine line between a distributed denial of service and an online protest. This should make future "mass electronic events" a little more interesting. Virtual Protest Clogs Washington Lines |

What would life be like without a computer? |

Has your life ever flahed before your eyes? Mine did. Right about 1:30PM EST on 2/25/2003. I had just woken up and had a nice, big, cool glass of water. I approached my beloved laptop when the cup lept out of my hand and landed halfway on the delicate keyboard and the table. Sploosh!! OMG. I quickly jumped into action and soaked up the water. A few pecks on the keyboard revealed a malfunctioning mouse subsystem..then blip! the sucker turned off...and would not turn back on. My life flashed, quickly before my eyes. No more programming..no more resume posting, which would equal no job. No games and definitely no Memes. The happy ending is that I became intimate with the inner workings of a latop, as I gently cleaned the system piece by piece. After a long day of worry and work, the system is now functioning perfectly. So, what exactly would life be like without the PC..not if it never existed..but what would it be like if it ceased to exist? What would you do? How would you cope? |

The rich don't pay for cars and the poor don't pay for computers or Internet access, they get it for free. While this is intended to stitch the digital divide in economic classes, I am interested in hearing your comments about whether this is necessary, fair, a waste, etc..

Let's see: (geek - physicalExercise) + EverestCyberCafe = X a statistic about geeks not getting enough exercise plus a cyber cafe at Everest equals failure? Atleast the technology to pull this off sounds cool. And who knows, maybe one day someone will stand atop the mountain with their GPS and fire up MemeStreams to see what others had to say about the peak. Yahoo!
