CRT's were better for a long time, LCD's did eventually catch up. I held on to my 21" Trinitron for a long time into the LCD era, because it had better contrast, resolution and sharpness. Eventually affordable LCD's did

I attribute to my robust immune system to the amount of dirt I ate as a child, I was a digger in the school yard, and I liked playing in mud - while being a thumb sucker well into elementary school.

I've had an idea for wide format, high density, optically read, punched mylar (or other similar plastic) film - so something like a 5 foot roll of mylar punched at 12-16 dpi. Leading to storage in the 1-2k bytes per linear inch. Mylar

I mean.. no? 8" 5 1/4" 3 1/2" and a couple less standard ones, then you get into sectoring (hard, soft), sidedness and density, plus disk formats on top of that

I thought by 72 they were using the electronic ignition module instead of points? I thought MY72 was the year it was introduced even?

I think it made sense as a tactical choice at the moment, just like censorship during wartime - I dont think it should go on forever, because doing so is incompatible with a free society.

I can second this - my parents were good friends after their divorce, as all of the issues of contention were related to sharing a house and relationship.

I have 4 clock radios at home, and 2 tabletop radios that are clearly derived from a clock radio - they sound decent, and have reasonably good audio quality. I've been an avid FM radio listener most of my adult life (NPR mostly), while

So my broad comment is, yes, your iPhone will replace all of these things, with some compromises. Its just like the things I see with with UI/UX design in my day job - I can make an app that does three unrelated things, but you lose so

WW1 in a way was special, because you had modern weaponry with 19th century medicine (and arguably 19th century tactics - meaning an army that wasn't mechanized). The fact that the war was effectively stalemate for 2ish years also cont

The difference between a 2WD model and a 4WD model is about 10% (4k) on a base model 40,000 dollar truck. They're all available with 4WD however.

Chase has a decent private banking operation, which you might consider (so does BofA, and most large banks) which can give you the best of both worlds.

Agreed - This is essentially the corner stone of systems failure analysis - something I wish architects thought about more in the software space. I'm a product manager for an old (and if I'm being honest somewhat crusty) system of
