Shows you where their head is. They completely skipped over:

1. The Titanic
2. Maginot line and Great Wall of China
3. Iridium phones.
4. ISDN.
5. Anything written by James Fennimore Cooper.
6. My first marriage.
7. New Coke.

I could go on and on, but you get the idea.

Except, of course, that most of the items you named were hardly technical
innovations.

Oh I don't know, the Titanic was billed as "unsinkable" due to design
which at the time was considered advanced technology. As we all know
it sank on it's first cross-Atlantic voyage BECAUSE of bad design and
human error, actually negligence*. The Great Wall of China again when
it was built was a technical marvel. ISDN was much faster then the
slow dial-up connection when it was introduced. Innovation is seen
through the filter of one's own eyes.

Sorry, I'm not at all impressed with what Vista brought to table. It's
basically XP with a face lift. The one think Microsoft was boasting
about and made the centerpiece of their original marketing was the WOW
factor, supposedly Aero. A total joke.

* There was enough wood on the ship and plenty of tools and manpower
that makeshift rafts could have been constructed giving many
passengers at least a chance to stay a float until help arrived... a
mere four hours later. The captain totally bungled the disaster first
thinking the ship couldn't sink wasting precious time getting pass
angers into lifeboats. One leaving with only 12 people, and designed
to hold 40, that in an emergency could easily hold twice that many for
a short period. The captain also ignored warnings from other ships in
the area reporting icebergs and he didn't slow down wishing to set a
speed record on his first crossing.

This bozo is a mental case. He spends his entire day here screaming
obscenities and lying. Ringmaster is simply filth. One of the most vulgar
posters you'll ever have the misfortune of coming across. He wallows
in filth. Ringmaster is also a pathological liar. He lies about everything
and everybody as Google quickly confirms. This simpleton still hasn't
figured out the more he acts up the more I beat him up. What an idiot!

Ringmaster's favorite activity is groveling after Frank, Spanky, measekite,
and Yanaire. That's because Ringmaster is an accomplished dick licker
and he made himself high priest of this newsgroup where he tries to make
everyone bow down and worship Microsoft. I told you this guy is crackers.

Ringmaster is insecure and loony. This ****tard thinks he can get away
with attacking other posters. Then I came along and cleaned his clock.
He didn't like it. Not at all. So crazy Ringmaster did what he does best,
increase the amount of filth he posts. That only resulted in me
exposing him as the crackpot, fool and village idiot he is.

Ringmaster is just some worthless ****ant that ****es his life away
spending all his time in this and other newsgroups howling like a wolf
seeing the moon. The more Ringmaster gets exposed as the jackass he is the
more likely he is to bluster and increase his vulgar comments.

Ringmaster has one rule, if you approve of Linux he'll parrot whatever
you say. Speak negatively about Ubuntu, report a problem you had or
find faults with it and Ringmaster will have one of his infamous hissy fits
where he'll call you a ****wit, a cock sucker, a child molester,
thief,****tard, whatever foul thought pops into his head.

Ringmaster is SICK. Understand that and you understand Ringmaster.
Ringmaster isn't
at the bottom rung of society, he's hundreds of feet lower. No lie, no
vulgarity is too low for Ringmaster to use. This moron will naturally try
to deny all I said. Trouble is Ringmaster can't delete what's stored at
Google's Archives for all to see.

Ringmaster is scum. His posting record confirms it beyond all doubt.
