   I think something is lost in translation here, the OP is saying that emotionally it doesn't matter to them if she wasn't real, they still hold her in high regard. They are not saying, "I have no interest in this."

   I have one of these. I use it exclusively when I'm decorating/refurbishing a room, as it makes the room so bright I can clearly see where I'm painting etc. Downside is, it totally nukes any WiFi signal in a 5 metre radius. :(

   Taken a copy - thank you! I'll probably throw up a mirror of the strips on my site at some point. For others, this archive is 1997 to 2013 and is images of the strip only. I stopped reading UF around that time I think. Like many things

   To explain further: The internal composite signal of the ZX81 (before it hits the RF modulator) has a poor "back porch"[1] signal, which prevents a lot of digital TVs from showing a steady image of the ZX81s screen. The composite

    FYI, the retro community have developed an internal 16Kb 'daughter board' so you can finally ditch that unreliable wobbly ram pack. Also, there's a 'composite mod' which replaces the RF modulator, and gives you rock

    Your mention of UUID, reminded me that the GUIDs for Microsoft office products in the Windows Registry all end with '0FF1CE' - that's a nice Easter egg I think that doesn't impact anything.

    There's also the daily 'The Papers' front pages: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/topics/cpml2v678pxt Which is a great way to see all the points of view (in the UK) on one page.

    A few studies a while back showed that those 'brain training' apps on the Nintendo consoles didn't actually improve any IQ or mental agility, so it's fair to say that these sort of captchas or similar systems don't

    I'm heavily into retro computing, and my cut off year is 2000. Anything newer than that is not 'retro' in my book. For vintage computing though, I think it would be before the IBM PC, so 1981.
