Yeah IBM sold off their Printer and Scanner line to Lexmark and their PC line to Lenolvo. Then their server series got sold off. PowerPC got open sourced. Hardware has too much competition and most of it is made in China really cheap anyway. Software is where the real money is at, and IBM focuses on that.

Moving away from OS/2 into GNU/Linux really helped them a lot.

How do you get good at Skeeball? Any tips and tricks?

The only game I seem to be good at is that Cyclone game I seem to be able to hit the flashing lights to win a jackpot in several tries. But then the jackpot resets after that to a low number. Even if I miss the jackpot and get close I win about 6 to 8 tickets a coin. It is an old game from the 1990's that flashes lights in a circle and has a four player mode if you hit the button when the light lights up in your jackpot zone you win the jackpot, but anything else you win the number of tickets listed on the light that it stops on.

I was getting really good at it at this Tilt arcade, but someone came in, claimed the machine was broken and tinkered with it so it wouldn't win as often.

Why wasn't Asian Thai listed on the race part of the form? I have a lot of Thai relatives that want a Asian Thai rather than Asian Other.

What happens when it is adults cyberbulllying another adult over the Internet? It seems nobody seems to care about that. I got people stealing my real name and making fake posts as me on Google Groups with all kinds of awful and untrue stuff. I gave my info to Google to prove it was not me, and to prove I own the real name they were using and they refused to remove the posts. The owner of the Google Group lost his account when his domain was hijacked so he could not remove the posts. I can't seem to stop this cyberbully or cyberbullies from using my real name to create fake accounts all over the Internet. I had Yahoo and Facebook accounts shut down that pretended to be me. I reported it to the police and they refused to take a report and said 'ignore it and they will stop' but they didn't stop. I tried to get a lawyer for libel or defamation and each one declined the case and told me to talk to the bar association to find another lawyer.

I was bulled as a child and teenager, I was bullied in the university I went to and had to drop out, I was bullied at work and eventually got so sick I ended up on disability. Now I got someone cyberbullying me all over the Internet, what do I do?

How can something be created out of nothing? Doesn't that violate the law of thermodynamics? All matter and energy in the universe came from somewhere or something. If the Higgs Boson created matter and energy then what created those Higgs Bosons? Then what created the thing that created the Higgs Boson?
