I had a Commodore 64 because the Atari 2600 promised a keyboard option to turn it into a computer. It never came to market. So I switched to Commodore who had a video game console with a keyboard and BASIC. The Atari 800 was nice I heard, b

Code is a liability it can be hacked if not written securely. It can be out of date if the language changes or Windows changes and the company upgrades, which means parts of it need to be rewritten. I used to program COBOL on IBM 370 DOS&#x

I hope they have the DOS/VSE or whatever operating system that ran on them on backup or installed on the hard drive. I remember 360's had a level you pulled called the IPL button. Initial Program Load.

If it supported ISA for the old DOS PCs that didn't have PCI bus it would be a good upgrade for the old school PCs out there. Monochrome MGA used a different address than VGA/CGA/EGA uses. So you could have two monitors in ol

There is no need for a Mac Pad, the iPad Pro does it all. iOS is OSX ported to ARM, if Apple wanted to sell ARM based Laptops they would be the iLaptop and run iOS. iOS is for mobile devices, OSX is for desktops and laptops.

They didn't train them. Just gave them a book on SQL Server and wanted them to be a DBA. So we had database problems. I had to fix the programming issues as a super debugger but spaghetti code is hard to fix esp when it isn't docu

I was given that title after 4 years of being with the company. Then they took it away because it was just a title and meant nothing. No extra pay either. Sounds good on a resume though. I complained about it and got fired for my troubles.

CLickbait articles where you have to click for each page of the article are the worst. You know they do it for advertising revenue and not for journalistic integrity. Some of these alt-media sites are political and put a spin on stories as

Corporate takeover, and censorship as the Internet becomes commercialized. Takeover of payment systems that can ban anyone's account for political reasons. It brought on the neoliberal trolls on 4Chan and Reddit. In some areas anyway.
