I've always wondered why the FCC is regulating the content of amateur radio transmissions as opposed to merely the spectrum used. With the way regulations are set up, there's little to do on amateur radio than....talk about amat

This is an interesting snapshot of how racism seemed to be viewed at the time. Reading this I get the impression that bemoaning black women's hair seemed to be A-OK as long as you called her "african american". Can you imagin

Intel plans to kill BIOS once and for all starting in 2020. This will make FreeDOS impossible to run on new hardware. Bummer. I often find myself wishing for an OS that takes you right down to the metal like DOS did, but reluctantly, I admi

I have plenty of tales of impatient boomer relatives who have jammed up the micro-USB port on their devices by forcing it in the wrong way. It was a lot harder to do this with mini-USB, and I'm glad the subsequent revision (USB-C) is l

I can't quite tell if I simply grew out of racial humour or it's genuinely taken on this propagandist, explicitly political subtext it didn't have before. Whichever, I don't really appreciate it nowadays.

Do we get a new one to learn in engineering school, next to the Challenger disaster, the Therac-25, and the Hyatt Regency bridge?

Exactly, did we ever move beyond monoliths dominating a standard or did they simply evolve to calling something "open" while exerting disproportionate influence on the standards body?

I grew up in the mountains, where everything was at least 20 years behind, and our school was well-stocked with 80s-era BASIC books in the library back in 2003. This was well into the Visual Basic era if we're talking beginners' l

This often goes missed when gun owners are criticised for saying that guns are useful in a revolt. The point isn't to win against a tyrannical government, it's to force said regime's hand into a position where they either giv

My view on this: 1) Technology makes bad people as efficient as good people. Let's define "good people" as honest, productive workers who value universal virtues like freedom, well-accepted scientific findings, and necessary

You're not under any obligation to. Amazon isn't really a monopoly. The only "sin" they've committed is refusing to cooperate with the implications and consequences of listing pseudoscience on their own best seller

Freud's books aren't currently inflaming a public health crisis. That being said, if Amazon felt as such, they could do it for whatever reason they felt. Or not do it. The point is that if they're not a monopoly, private or p

Private, yes. Government, no. Amazon is courageously admitting that ignorance is still ignorance and that they have the right not to comply with ignorance. Dangerous, anti-science literature was on the top of their own charts, and ignoring
