From Slashdot:
"I go to Brown University. Here they have a sort of "fraternity" that is
called tech house. It seems to be the sort of community you are talking
about. They do cool things (for example playing tetris with the lights on
the 14 story science library here, something that I I think was posted to
slashdot a while back.) I think they also built an elevator in the house.
Anyways, I was taking a look at it, and it seems pretty cool. These places do exist though." -Brian Singer
From vTH:
John says: Of course, nobody ever bought MS Wheel 1.0, and MS Wheel 2.0 and 3.0 kind of crashed a lot.
Foo says: which comes bundled with a 3-legged horse and a solar-powered toaster
John says: But Wheel 95 was pretty hot; and Wheel NT ("New Tread") was awesome, if you had the horsepower for it.
Ducttape asks: John: you gonna get a car?
John says: Unfortunately Wheel NT could only drive on the right kind of roads, which sort of limited the places you'd want to go today.
John says: OK, I think I should shoot this metaphor before it turns on me.

like 'please turn on the television'
(4) in general, avoid use of the phrase 'turn on'"
