I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

I've met Randy Weaver at gun shows. Twice.

I didn't buy his book either time.

That garbage is par for the course, but most of the people who go are making fun of it.

The last picture being a photoshop (used to read "every time he leaves the house."), but my sister and her friends took it seriously.

My parents got their first computer in the 70s. My Dad is really good with them but somehow my mom, despite using computers constantly for over 40 years, is still shockingly incompetent.

Dad is an electrical engineer. Worked with NCR mainframes back in the day. Has had a computer ever since he bought our first in the late 80s.

He has yet to figure out how to install shit in another partition than C:.   :huh::hmm:

My dad was a computer programmer since the early 1980's.  Still clueless with PCs.  He always had this arrogant attitude that PCs would never replace mainframes with dumb terminals.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Except for the interlude between say 1985 and 2010 he was right. Except these days it's called cloud and user device instead of mainframe and terminal.
