You are giving me bad flashbacks to Internet Explorer websites. When I worked at a large (fortune 500) defense contractor the new timecard portal was ie only. We had no windows machines (we were a SunOS and HPUX shop). Solution was to set

My Mom was very anti-war. No toy guns in our house. (We could play war games like diplomacy and risk when older). It turns out one of her first memory was fleeing her home being bombed in WWII.

I think the "played it before" option is for me, if I choose to get it. Is it worth it if you'd played the original? The original was interesting in its kind of a game, but more of a experience. The narration was excellent

We got the leaf too. Its great for day trips, around town. The charging situation for electric cars for road trips is still a thing... It seems to have found a standard in CSS. I expected there to be adapters, but apparently making adapter

They used to but fake "buttons" on the dash for features you could have gotten but where too cheap too. As opposed to just a flat surface it was raised plastic. The folks at the dealership my dad worked at called them "guil

Zip car is one of many short term car rental firms for city dwellers (at least in boston). There were also some services that allowed car owners to rent their cars short term to other people, but I'm not sure they took off. Zip cars

Its a hard problem. My understanding is the phylogenic trees isn't as an exact science as you would think. Its "NP hard" so they use heuristics to get a good estimate. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phylo

Try your credit card dispute, if you charged it. I know we submitted evidence that a car we rented was a minorly damaged vehicle (it was marked on the sheet during the checkout) and then tried to bill us for the repair after taking the car

I wonder why its "all the money" not some portion of it. I mean if you make a documentary with historic footage, you have to clear (pay to use) each piece of footage you use. If you use a clip it doesn't mean they own your

Oh yeah, because it was a MSDOS (or unix) program, it had a lot of printer drivers built it, the OS not providing those. I remember working for the Government and having to use carbon paper in the 1990s, which meant using the "daisy wh

Yeah, you need an account on Reddit and Youtube to make it worthwhile. Going into "private browsing" and going to youtube is a weird experience. There are a bunch of niche youtube channels that don't get a ton of views that

You could convert to png or tiff if you wanted lossless. Jpg at high quality is pretty good for general photo saving if you aren't doing tons of modifications after the fact. I think some editors now save the original and just store t

I had a bunch of film cameras that would auto set the iso and auto advance the film. How it did this is 35 mm film had the iso and length encoded on the canister as “dx” coding. There were a bunch of sensors in the camera that measured if o

I do listen to some songs over and over. Though after 3 or 4 times I usually switch it up. I do like albums.. Or sometimes one song can last like 30 minutes. (Phish does this). It’s great to drive/work to because it does have a rhythm

The slr tech is pretty cool (it’s mirror and a prism that gets the light from the lens to your eye). And a neat tech that flips the mirror out of the way so the “film” or sensor can see the light. You see close to what the camera sees, much

That’s the whole point of it. You get excellent tested comparability and support. For Linux users like me it’s worth the money. I can have Linux and not worry about if my hardware is compatible with the default install. You are paying for
