A seperate Google forum!! - Howard Owen - 01-09-2007

Google owns YouTube, ya know.

Acronyms of (possible) interest:

    TOS   "The Other Site"
TAS "That Auction Site"
TSS "The Search Site"
TCSPVS "That Calculator Slaughtering Puerile Video Site"

Well, TVS would do, but I couldn't resist editorializing. I mean, user generated content is fine, but there are limits. 8)

Actually, I think the point is, there are no limits!

Somebody once said that "90% of everything is crap!" That sentiment originated in a day when a generally well-structured (if not always well-intentioned) layer of editorial review lay between the idea and its manifestation in media.

Well, that is so no longer. I think the saying could be revised to something like: "99.9999% of everything is crap!"

I think everyone agrees on that. They just can't agree on which 99.9999%. Which is just another way of stating the problem.

That somebody was Theodore Sturgeon, and i agree; he's an optomist.

How did you know that? What a great Sci-Fi writer in Theodore Sturgeon! You bring back the days when I was a kid of 13 reading "Astounding" magazine.

Did someone figure out the make of this (graphic) calculator?

For me it looks like it is used as a shaver.

Strange you should mention that... I always wanted a calculator that could be used as a shaver. Now it needs to also have phone/gps/mp3/am/fm/sw/tv/rc/shaver. Oh yeah, and a flip out toothbrush.
