  "On average, car buyers purchase a new one every 8 years, or a used one every 3. So [one's] ability to negotiate at the auto dealers is a [significant] factor in [one's] budget." --- George A.

  "almost every single item on the standard check-list of fascist characteristics can be found in [Herbert Croly's] _The Promise of American Life_.   The need to 'mobilize' 'society' like an army? Check!   Call for spiritual rebirth? Check!   Need for 'great' revolutionary leaders? Check!   Reliance on manufactured, unifying, national 'myths'? Check!   Contempt for parliamentary democracy? Check!   Non-Marxist Socialism? Check!   Nationalism? Check!   A spiritual calling for military expansion? Check!   The need to make politics into a religion? Hostility to individualism? Check! Check! Check!" --- Jonah Goldberg _Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left from Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning_ pg98

  "Because technology begets more technology, the importance of an invention's diffusion potentially exceeds the importance of the original invention. Technology's history exemplifies what is termed an autocatalytic proces: that is, one that speeds up at a rate that increases with time, because the process catalyzes itself." --- Jared Diamond 1997 _Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies_ pg258

Except that computer people use 2 as a base raised to multiples of powers of 10, instead of 10 raised to multiples of powers of 3 because powers of 2 are handier for them, but they also want to stay somewhat close to the values of 10 most folks are used to.
