Usually both at the same time. Soldered on the board and unchangeable.

Or a bumper sticker, so license plate scanners can enjoy it, too.

I wonder if people today remember BIND's history with security.

One obvious target might be rewriting from an unsupported, broken, and/or obsolete target to something that still works. Or moving a project from a platform that no other system in the company uses to the same setup that all the others

Have you ever tried to indulge an all-consuming urge to kill when you don't have opposable thumbs? Or hands? Or anything other than a bread slot?

Yes. There's the obvious difference of "it's a working printer" and desirable and useful product. You don't need to be state of the art to be in the first category was my thought.

I'm thinking of everything working on the principle of smashing an inked ribbon into paper to make markings.

Would be interesting to see that. I used to build it on Coherent, HP-UX, and Aix at least IIRC. Maybe others. It was kind of fun except for all the curses and termcaps. The page mentions there's an emulator that should be able to run i

Yes. It was a pretty big chunk, too. Floppies were around 880k and base model RAM sizes were 512k to few MB. Having better part of a meg of libraries in ROM really helps fit more stuff in. And it was possible to load RAM patches or shadow t

Yes, and it really was just a Disk Operating System.

It is. Just with web tacked on to make it worse.

Kind of like Usenet, but with web crap.

"From scratch", ie raw materials only, probably limits the results to plotters until you've bootstrapped some presicion machinery. And electronics. How many parts you're allowed is going to be an arbitrary choice anyway.

There was no reason to sell a dot matrix printer that wasn't compatible with tractor feed. Especially when some of the biggest uses of those printers required that stock. Doesn't mean they required tractor feed paper to operat

2400 dpi is not the bar for entry, though. Even 240 would qualify as a printer, albeit not a good one (SOTA in 1995 maybe).

Practically infinite number of persons in law enforcement and blackmail businesses absolutely would accuse you.

That's still a terribly small bus factor.

The skill isn't the plowing. The skill is thinking and learning and the ability that atrophies is that of mental effort (which is what drives thinking and learning). Losing those will affect people's lives and potentially even the

It did not. There are professional horse shoers like there always were. Not in huge numbers, but there are. Domesticated horses didn't just disappear from the world.

They are usually ludicrously expensive. But since Chinese manufacturers started using them for various small machine (3d printer, engraver...) frames, there's a now finally a cheaper supply.

Probably the idea is to have one big AC-DC PSU and then separate DC-DC regulators for each box from that rail.
