Macabre to say the least but collectors will pay big bucks for this stuff.

Honestly I don't get it myself. Personal effects like this should be burnt upon death just to deny these morbid creatures their articles of faith. It is no surprise that Jane Fonda is involved here. Just another example of what is wrong with America.

Ps She was right about Viet Nam... We killed 60k of our own and 2M opponents and for what?

And then pulled the rug out from under SVN, after they'd held off NVN for a couple of years, including at least one massive attack, heavy armor and all. Try talking to some of the Vietnamese who finally made it to the U.S. after being held in NVN re-education camps with their families.

All in all, it's been 40 years, and if you visit VN now, it looks more like the south won than the north.

I wonder if Tim Cook was with IBM when Steve flipped them off.

He'd been there about a year, joining IBM after graduating from Auburn in 1982.

This is why I thank the gods I live in a country with a system where by my prescriptions are free for me and  the cost of prescription drugs are regulated ~$11 per item regardless of the drug if you don't qualify for free prescriptions.

So who is actually paying the real cost of your prescriptions? It has to be coming out of somebody's pocket somewhere; TANSTAAFL applies whether you like it or not, or whether or not you realize it.

Meanwhile, there's a good deal of padding going on with regards to our healthcare costs here, including prescription stuff. A lot of it being the government-mandated, end to end paperwork requirements from development through manufacture to delivery. People tend to forget that.

What's a computer? A computer is something you do work on. An iPad is something you consume media and play games on. You could try to dig a trench in your ballet slippers, but workboots make more sense.

Sometimes you want to dance rather than dig a trench.

Embrace the power of AND.

A computer is something that will run Logic Pro...

So, IBM's Bleu Gene/P isn't a computer? Fujitsu's K isn't?

Maybe you're being too restrictive.
