You got that right. I have an old basic 6th gen ipad with a cracked screen and slowly disappearing battery life but I refuse to get a new one until they drop the requirement for webkit because the web has become a miserable place without ub

Who knows what AI will really do to society but from the predictions of science fiction I would think it would pan out closer to William Gibson's Sprawl trilogy than the Terminator/singularity fears I have seen in so much doomsaye

Define close to home. The other responder noted 25 miles. Having lived in cities most my life, I don't think I have ever lived farther than 25 miles to a major airport. But a quick google search: you have somewhere between about a 1 i

Not to mention multiple orders of magnitude safer than driving to the airport.

I'm not a musician but have training as a printmaker so I was intrigued by the use of the term "engraved" to put down music on paper. Looks like the early reproduction of sheet music was the intaglio process of engraving the

Is it any worse than having the model home in a development furnished with 3/4 scale furniture? Just seems like the digitization of an old practice.

The explanation of the IBM Great Oaks is questionable. Most called that campus the Cottle road site. I would not be surprised if the assembly/electronics of the hard drive went to Mexico/China but the sputtering of the disks thems

It's interesting that the IBM Cottle road site gets left off these histories. Also this history goes up to San Francisco but not over 17 to Scott's Valley and Santa Cruz for Borland and Seagate? Not sure if there was an earlier lo

Probably some of the Stable Diffusion models as well. You can force it but I got a chuckle when I put in a set of prompts for an illustrated barbarian scene completely unrelated to Magic and one of the rendered images was a magic card...

I wonder how much of the anti-vax movement is more about a rationalization of a fear of needles than anything else. Would there be as many anti-vaxers if vaccines were administered by pill? Inhaled seems even less threatening...

I used to be in the physical disk camp until during a move my ps4 and media collection was stolen. Bought a new ps4, deactivated the stolen ps4 from the account, activated the new ps4 and was able to download all the digital games. The disk

Vanilla accounts for about a quarter of all ice cream sales in the US. Chocolate is a close second but I think vanilla wins as it is also the most common to serve with other desserts. Apple pie a la mode is always with vanilla ice cream for

It's been a while since I seen Anne Hall but I remember to be more of romantic comedy with emphasis on the romance and characters than the jokes as opposed to a film like Sleeper that is almost a pure string of gags. Take a good look a

Aside from Buster Keaton's stunts lot of that is just early filming of vaudeville. Little of it was new and viewer would have been familiar with most of it from the stage. The later stuff dips it's toes in to comedy but barely get

And don't you dare even think that a fun or funny movie is high art. Why does comedy always gets the shaft?

Explain to me why Fury Road belongs on that list? I personally found it one of the singular worst most disappointing films I have ever seen. In my opinion Mad Max was a master piece of exploitation cinema and the most realistic of the bunch

My family had a friend who was an officer in the Marines. In the Vietnam war he was one of the people who went in and burned villages, you know the bad stuff. When Apocalypse Now came out he got a copy on Beta-max, brought it over and insis

Books3 is the easy/fast/cheap method but if the quality of the model really brings in some sort of revenue is there anything stopping a company from buying/checking out of the library all these books, scanning and ORC'in

That is a really nice find. I played this one extensively back in the day and it's one of the better games of the era but beyond that it's one of those games that really needs the custom controls. I got it set up on MAME but never

Most of the asteroid is iron with some nickle even though most the articles talk up the gold and platinum. I would think steel would also be great in establishing habitats in space and it would be nice to have a source without the launch co

If this probe confirms what this asteroid is made of, and it's as rare as some articles say we should be putting a colony on this rock before Mars. All the stories talk up the gold but that is a lot of iron that does not require launch

Probably because 76% of them sucked. Well, maybe that's a bit strong but having lived through most the history of video games, a lot of mediocrity out there. From a preservation and historical standpoint I could see this as a problem b

Older generation, eh? Is San Francisco's tourist industry "Older generation"? The house I owned was in the Sunset, so pardon me if I don't agree with your assessment of the west side of the city. I have watched property

I doubt it. I owned a house in SF. For me it was looking at the city. I grew up in the bay area and have been going to SF since the 70's. San Francisco is a beautiful city. Architecturally fantastic. In the 60's, 70's and 80&
