> The irony is their sales pitch was so good it caused an international incident. As a non American, I find the "it's not so bad, it wasn't very effective" arguments I'm seeing in these comments a bit strange.

Sounds to me that the quip applies perfectly to the Vietnam War. Both sides put massive efforts into either building or disrupting the Ho Chi Minh trail. Everybody recognised the importance of logistics.

Don't forget helm charts and docker containers. The security/assurance of that supply chain is pretty lacking. It feels like some people are actively applying the (historical?) Wordpress security model to Kubernetes for expediency

I ran OpenBGPD about 15 yrs back for peering access to a Metropolitan Area Network. My first/last/only experience with BGP (thankfully hehe). OpenBGPD itself was solid and looked at lot easier to configure than the alternatives. C

I can't help wondering about your word "were" (past tense)? Doing secret work for a ruthless criminal gang must be risky.

Quattro Pro was a pretty kick ass spreadsheet for a DOS app (graphs, printing etc), I didn't like going back to 1-2-3 after that.

I never used the MS versions, but spent a lot of time on the Amiga version of FSII by Sublogic. According to Wikipedia that version was closer to the featureset of MS FlightSim 3.0 than 2.0 I think I can still hear the droning noise of that

Not necessarily. The main example (that stuck with me) of AI in books I read as a kid 35 yrs ago was the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation. Now I think that was eerily prescient.

Thank you - saved me typing it. CSS support for table display predated XHTML 1.0 by nearly 2 years, and worked in XHTML with non IE browsers.

Would those problems have been solvable if the general attitude was an optimistic view of "don't worry, someone will solve it"? Humans tend not to solve difficult problems unless they are a crisis. Convincing them a problem i

Interesting comments from those guys. I taught myself CSS by reading the CSS 1 spec back in the late 90s (mainly aimed at IE 4 - Netscape 4.6 sucked bad) before there were any books on it. I think the CSS 2 spec was also out by then too, bu
