What pulled me in (and what usually does as a former psychedelics connoisseur) was the music.

That being said, the songs are
1) Roy Orbison - In Dreams (if you don't know that one, get out of my house)
2) NIN - Right Where it Belongs v1
3) Burial - Forgive
4) Stereo Total - Aua

You're most welcome, and I'm glad you enjoyed our little routine. Blankfist and I are going to be the next Abbott & Costello. The next Martin & Lewis. The next Siegrfried & Roy.
Wait, not the last one.

Thanks for the Quality! And the conversation that followed it. LOL

In reply to this comment by kronosposeidon:
But how are we supposed to help the private prison industry if we can't pack dope offenders like sardines into their overcrowded convict warehouses? And how are we supposed to help our pharmaceutical industries when they can't patent a weed? And how are we supposed to help our beer, wine, and distilled spirits industries when there's a new legal competitor on the market?

Pro-marijuana = anti-business, and
Anti-business = anti-American, ∴
Pro-marijuana = anti-American

Why do dopers hate America?

Let me try my top 21 predictions for the next decade! A lot of this will be US centric.
1. HDTV dimensions will increased from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160.
2. Screens will be increased to print pixel depths. 300dpi is only the beginning.
3. An affordable, flexible LCD material will change the tech and advertising world. Maybe the material can be cut to fit any size?
4. The war in Iraq will be over. But the occupation will last for decades. Other wars in the Middle East will continue.
5. Sarah Palin will never be President.
6. The US Deficit will grow to a historical high. As the Dollar and the Renminbi compete for world currency a new Cold War will be declared.
7. Top 40 music will suck.
8. The browser will be integrated as part of the OS and no longer treated as just software. Your work software (IDEs, Microsoft Word, Excel, etc.) will be treated as online plug-ins, savable (with versioning) in the cloud.
9. Electricity will be wireless.
10. Reality Shows will be the new sitcom. Again.
11. China's working class will stage small worker union revolts, but the scale and number will be dramatically inflated by the media.
12. Tommy Lee Jones, Adam Ant, Joel Coen, Matt Groening, Bill Clinton, Lorne Michaels, Sam Elliot, Rudolph W. Giuliani, Steve Jobs and Roy Scheider. One of them will probably pass away.
13. Google will acquire Facebook.
14. Apple's stock will drop if Jobs passes away. They'll try to embody the innovate spirit of Jobs, but they'll miss the mark and stick to just updating the current products like iPod, iPhone, Macbooks, etc.
15. There will be an assassination attempt on a Congressman. Congress will pass into law the Vigilant Act that declares DC to "be at war". As a result no civilians except current residents are permitted to enter. Under the Act any type of search and seizure in DC is legal. To counteract the bad press, the America Museum is opened in Virginia.
16. GM will file for bankruptcy.
17. Like the huge increase in gas prices as become part of day for the US, the people will grow accustomed to the high rate of unemployment. Politicians will no longer talk about gas prices or unemployment.
18. Marijuana is legalized in three states. It's legalized for medicinal use in seventeen states.
19. Autism is linked to the artificial sweetener, Aspartame.
20. Most internet enabled TVs and projectors become equipped with a'la carte system of channel ordering. So you only buy what channels you want streamed to your tv.
21. A new phone technology is developed that works a lot like bit torrent. The phone's signal piggy backs off other phones in the area, and the more phones in an area the better the signal. Most people, however, turn this feature off because it's rumored to be a security weakness.


To answer a select few points:

1. I thought 4k displays would be up next? (4096×3072; as a coder I hate widescreens. I need horizontal screen real estate).
3. This will happen sooner than we'd like
7. When did it not?
9. See 3.
Addendum to 21: We will see a surge of private networks, linked by VPNs and shared by friends; mostly done by people trying to run away from all the crass advertisements and data gathering schemes in the net today.

@blankfist
re #2: Screens will not go over 300 dpi, because higher fidelity is wasted on our lousy eyes. 300 dpi on a 22" screen will be about 6000 x 3000px. On 27" it will be 7000x4000. I think the 300dpi mark might become a new marketing standard like apple is pushing "Retina display".

Ipad 2 or 3 will be 2048x1536 and marketed as Retina Display, even though it's only ~280 dpi.

re #12: My money's on Roy Scheider being the guy who passes away, since he passed away in 2008.

I love Boondocks...but I absolutely can't stand this F'n character. He's not funny...he smacks of Roy from that one Simpsons episode...just there cause they're out of ideas.

Even when you know how a magic trick works you can still marvel at the skill required to pull it off.

I like up close street magic way better than Ziegfried and Roy-style stage productions as well.

You think he can dance check out Roy Heads moves!
