It's funny about that. Our transit system began an initiative just a bit before COVID-19, aimed at cleaning up the bums and criminals. So most people are not able to hang out on the train or bus, they're hustled off at the nearest

It would seem to us that nights and weekends are the most convenient time for citizens to access government services such as this. But the things that are down for maintenance are not our publicly-accessible frontends, they're the back

Yeah also because departure and landings are the most critical times for aviation safety. If you're jabbering away on your mobile phone then you are not paying attention to the stewardess who is demonstrating important safety features

I absolutely confirmed that my diet is the biggest factor in sleep patterns. If I eat takeout or delivery food I will be groggy all day, sleep late, have trouble going to sleep at the same time every night. If I prepare my own fresh, organi

But moderns are jaded and blasé about stuff that's recycled. When the Gospels were written, the known world was fascinated and captivated with what was being preached. Because it was familiar, logical, and somewhat inevitable to them.

The 1541 was set to be a highly capable and performant machine, but an interface/design bug held it back and delivered dismal performance whenever connected to the C64. They tried to fix it but it couldn't be rescued, so speed fre

HP was a big Unix vendor, but they were also vendors of other OS such as DOMAIN, and HP kept the m68k alive right through the '040s with Apollo-derived workstations that became part of the HP9000 line. DOMAIN/OS died out with PA-R
