OT: EMS and Buck, I was making an attempt at a joke..
Btw, I would need some help on one joke I heard long time ago but cannot really formulate
correctly.
Based on what Orwell described as persons and nonpersons, persons declared as nonpersons,
same as what still happens now and then.
As I remember it there was two persons, A and B, three sentences, that person, something like this
A: How is Mr EMS doing these days (or something similar)
B: ??? (this is what I cannot formulate, but Mr EMS must be mentioned at the end??)
A: Who are you talking about (referring to the now non-person declared Mr EMS)
Only yahoo hit found, but a good one (for me)

. . . As a nationally known ecologist, author Barry
Commoner was a frequent guest on national television
shows--until the day he was nominated presidential
candidate for the Citizen's Party and became virtually a
nonperson.

While the local media are sometimes accessible to
third-party candidates, etc,etc...

Btw, what is Mr Bill doing in terms of mobile phones and the special job he started to concentrate on??
In the little string of Nokia-history because of the published Nokia-history that little clip from maybe
1998 was shown, Bill Gates on a FInland visit, responding to the question "when will MSFT buy Nokia"
with a little shrug and a little kind of something like a smile.
But who knows, maybe it will become possible to open the (Perot) hood on Windows when it doesn't boot or
just crashed, just to get an idea on why, which reminds me of another classic, what the car industry
should do to come out with a windows-like car.
What was it, one were supposed to step out of the car, if one can open the door, press the horn, front buffer
and the antenna at the same time to get it started again??
(I have understood that Sendo would use the regular alt-ctl-del thing, but the 10 million keys
will not be delivered on time for Per Lindberg??) |
