You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat.


Vista
the mountains of Vista-bashing are ridiculous.
i just got a fucking dell inspiron with amd athlon dual core 64 bit processors running at a little over 5 Ghz - over 3 GB of ram - and a shitty NVIDIA 6000 series graphics card built in - for only ***$699*** at best buy (and that includes the 19" flat screen and awesome epson printer - but - sorry - sale's over) - and my windows vista runs like a fucking spaceship. it's beautiful. no. GORGEOUS. it's totally secure (i'll deal with those constant user approval pop-ups instead of all that shoot-myself-in-the-head annoying norton (or whatever else) shit). and it's faster than a fucking speeding bullet.
all you vista-hating shit eaters just need to cough up a buck or two to update your piece of shit computers. then install vista and have a blast!
