Episode of Malcolm in the Middle.
Mom accidently breaks the air conditioner and it is 120
degrees in the shade.
Reeses favorite computer, a Pentium 75, refuses to start.
The screen remains dark after turning it on.
First Reese takes a small number of PCI and ISA cards out and
puts them back in without really doing anything and
it works again but the next day it it is broken again.
Reese is very disappointed. His Pentium 75 is his only computer that
can connect to the Internet. It uses Windows 98 SE, the most stable
Windows ever made but it needs reliable hardware.
Reese is afraid that if he does not get it fixed he will have to use
his other computer, a rusty 286, that is limited to traditional DOS
as it's only operating system and it is very slow. Even the
high performance text editor EDZACK is slow on a 286. EDZACK was
actually intended to run on Pentiums at a DOS command prompt.
Everything is slow on the rusty old 286 computer.
Reese then totally disassembles his Pentium 75 computer. He discovers that
the ISA cards and PCI cards do not stay plugged all the way in to the
motherboard!!
Before putting the motherboard back in Reese installs a lockwasher
on the brass standoff to make it taller and another lockwasher on
one of the plastic stand offs that push the motherboard farther
away from the chassis bottom and twoard the PCI and ISA cards.
Reese then puts most of the computer back together. THe second
floppy drive does not fit and the second CD-ROM drive is replaced by
an alternatively mounted hard drive. There is one of the two floppy drives
remaining and one of the two CD-ROM drives remaining and both hard drives
remain.
Finally, Reese gets his Pentium 75 computer working again. It is nice to
not have to settle for only having a 286 computer remaining!!!
The next morning the repair still works. The lockwashers help keep
the ISA and PCI cards plugged into the motherboard by pushing the motherboard
twoard those cards.
Then Malcolm and Dewey dig through some dumpsters at another TV network.
Some old technoligy anti-draft signs are in there from a canceled T.V.
show. The show had been canceled because they wrongfully removed their
main character, a blond haired 15 year old boy from the show and then
there was suddenly nothing left and that show went bankrupt.
Networks and program managers need to think before removing popular
characters from thier important shows. It used to be a show that
was on Monday nights before the downsizing caused zero ratings.
There is currently nothing on TV on Monday nights.
Malcolm and Dewey brought a red wagon with them to help haul stuff.
They find 3 286 computers in the trash and the accompaning monitors
and keyboards.
Malcolm and Dewey manage to get two working 286 computer systems
working. One of the two computers is assigned to Dewey and he starts
typing his homework on EDZACK text editor, which Malcolm had found on the
Internet in 2002 and copied onto a floppy disk.
EDZACK works with the traditional DOS that a 286 uses. It is not easy
to still find programs that were written for traditional DOS that
can run on a old 286 computer.
Then the next day at school they have an assembley discussing college
financial aid. Malcolm meets the lunch crowd and issues a warning
about college financial aid.
Warning-- Do not apply for a student loan under any circumstances!!
That draft registration card that you fill out before filling out a
financial aid form is to scare away any coward who is afraid of
military service.
Many schools promise high paying jobs after graduation. Then many
students go deep into debt with student loans and the community
colleges or state universites are downsized by a state budget crisis
so the rich courses are canceled leaving students unable to graduate
or at least unable to earn enough to repay the student loans.
Then aggressive military recruiters diligently pursue those students
who are deep in debt and emphasize their absolute obligation to repay the
student loans even though profitable classes were canceled by a State
budget crisis.
Then the loans are repaid over a 20 year period by being deducted from
the students very tiny military paychecks.
The STUDENT LOAN SCAM is in reality an ECONOMIC U.S. MILITARY DRAFT!!
Do NOT apply for a student loan unless you want to repay it with
military service.
Then Reese adds in that he had found out on the Internet about a
recallable Community college trustee who was re-elected by promising
that there would be no classes cut and no fees raised if she is re-elected.
She was re-elected by fruad because after that California election
a C++ Windows MFC class that a smart professor wanted to teach in Fall 2003
was canceled. It would have been a profitable CIVILIAN class. Then the
fees were increased in California. That lady faces a recall!!
Also the CS384 independent study was downsized from 3 credits to only
one credit right after that election.
Reese then announced a article that Charles Rangle is planning on expanding
selective service registration to restart the GENERAL DRAFT in addition
to boosting the economic draft by denying federal funding for community
colleges and universities.
Selective Service registration is done so men can get college financial aid.
If all men boycott student loans the government might have to shut down
selective service registration.
Instead of keeping the economic draft and applying for a general draft the
government should support an honestly recruited all volunteer U.S.
military that men who are not cowards can choose to enlist in and earn
a living wage!!
The U.S. military only needs high school graduates so no student loan
is needed for men immediately willing to enlist in the U.S. military.
Boycott student loans!!!!
