Virtual machines

They're still (re-)discovering the superiority of big systems and virtualization that we had back in the 60's with CP67. Latest incarnation is running VMs on IBM's RISC technology. It's like watching each new generation make "ooh" and "aah" sounds over 60's vintage vehicles at every car show. One can only dream of how much further advanced the whole world might be now if it hadn't abandoned far-superior mainframes and chased after that cheap harlot known as Unix.

It's bottom of the ninth with two out...

What's up with baseball announcers these days? Why do they keep informing the viewers over and over...and over again about the current status of the game? For instance: "There's a man on first with two outs at the bottom of the third in a zero-zero tie". Uh, thanks, but I know all that--it's right there on the screen...constantly.

I guess because of technology, the requirements of the job have changed--they just forgot to CC: the announcers on the memo. They should stick to analysis of the game and throw in a little personal stuff here and there. Maybe they don't have enough interesting or insightful things to say and have to back fill with um, filler. Whatever the reason, I want my money back.
