OMG. THis is absolute BRILLIANCE. This is going to blow up the internet, for sure. Total laugh riot, from start to finish.

God, it's hard to believe we used to live in a world with technology like that.

I'm looking forward to the days when we won't be able to believe living in a world where the internet isn't utterly transparent and ubiquitous. Where our computers are still essentially boxes that we have to type into and look at with our eyes. Charles Stross' future from Accelerando or Vernor Vinge's future from Rainbow's End are closer than you might think. The truth is we've come an AMAZING distance since 1994, and the space between today and 2018 or 2022 is greater than either of those novels posits. Well.... maybe the later parts of Accelerando...

Your aspect ratio is wrong, MG.

Lower the window hieght to 304 and it should be good.

Is that better? (Thanks - I didn't really notice)

I've never seen a single episode of 24, but I found this utterly hilarious; everything from the hairdo to rewinding the VHS tape was genius.

I hate the show 24, and any show like it. I pretty much hate all "prime time" tv and every single sitcom out there.

*awesome

Genius

This is a truly awesome video.

By the way since when can we sift videos from college humor? I've tried to submit them in the past with no luck. Are they a partner now?

Sure are.

I tried to submit this a couple of days ago, but VS said the embed code was invalid.

Heads-up display on my Ray-Ban Pentium 12's, melanin-polarization modifications, anti-grav sneekers, and a couple of cloned organs in the fridgy-widge.....good to go-

Haha this really cracked me up. For me, the "early days" are right around this time: 14.4 modems; BBS accounts for $40/mo to connect to two or three 500MB hard drives' worth of content; having to create special boot disks to free up enough memory to run the best DOS games; and right around this time computer and game magazines started including CD-ROMS with free software and game demos.
