    If I take out my 3g modem, get this laptop in the car and accelerate up to 88 mph will this thread disappear into the past or the distant future?
    Here's hoping.

    A Mr. Fusion would be more useful. Also a self drying jacket and second-accurate weather prediction! Didnt nike release the shoes a few months back?

    The speedo actually only read to 85mph due to some stupid government law at the time.though it did over 100mph!

    Whatever about BTTF and 2001, the big question is whether Orwell was right and it's just taken us 25 years to notice....

    Of course Orwell was right: we have to control even our facial expressions in case one of the many cameras picks up something that could be construed as a slight against the one-party dictatorship controlling a third of the planet; even our thoughts have to be controlled while scientists work on a way of actually reading them; love/affection is not allowed between individuals - devotion can only be to the party; sex must not be pleasurable - it is only for pro-creational purposes, and scientists are currently working on destroying the orgasm (I was a member of the Junior Anti Sex League when I was younger); history is constantly being rewritten; we live in unspeakable squalour; if we commit a crime (e.g. being suspected of thinking anti government thoughts) we are subjected to the most horrific torture imaginable and have our minds reprogrammed, then we are airbrushed from history.

    I could go on - but yes, definitely, we're living in the nightmarish world Orwell envisioned.

    Back to BTTF 2 - yes, I take issue with Café 80s. That's more of a past five years thing - 90s nostalgia will be where it's at in 2015.
