Bear in mind that resolutions back then were much lower than now, and not all computers had 24 bit color frame buffers. Video cards ran one monitor for the most part, with no others attached. Be had well written multi threading and preempt

Because identifying as part of a group is part of the mechanism that lets humans act collectively. Same kind of thing as the need to belong to some group, organization, or clique. Humans acting collectively are safer, stronger, better fe

That's not just some people, it's everyone. There are very strong survival benefits to being able to receive that chemical high for believing we belong to a particular group.

Oliver is a journalist, though. That's why Snowden granted him an interview first, before anyone else in the world. Sure, he's humorous, but he's not offering his opinions except in the most general terms. He follows facts,

No. Maybe they were unknown to you, but not some of us. I first heard about the Phrack raids a week or so afterward, when certain of my peers in college began destroying floppies in a fit of paranoia. _Free_The_Atlanta_Three_

The "review" is based on the author's skewed view of the world. The AtomPi is basically a cheap SBC with standard hardware (off the shelf Debian etc. can run on it, or Win 10 with some limits). Cost is cheap. The author seem

Yep. Same effect, really, and in fact this is more likely to be secure because there's a chance that pulling power will damage something or scramble data on disk. The article's solution is amusing and "cool" but not rea

I'll tell you a secret: The world is pretty much the same as it's always been, including the people. There are just more of them. People don't deal with change well, but choosing to believe that the present is an exception
