At first glance, the chocolate bar in the title image seems out of place. Pseudo-edit: Upon further reading, it looks like it is part of demonstrating the dexterity of the robotic limb. P.S. Obligatory Macross Plus reference.

I have had to do that before. The URLs in that case seemed to have a more random distribution than most of these.

These days, I only go to IRC when I have a specific purpose in mind. Some online groups [still] use it almost as a support channel. It [the way I use it now] is not like my days in uni when it was a popular form of "casual chat."

Before my eyes reached the domain name, I thought "is this a bunnie article?" Is anyone else doing [publicly available online articles on] investigative research on electronics like this?

How do web browsers handle cancelled requests? Subjectively speaking, it feels like browsers can take a while to recover from cancelling the loading of a large page/page with a large number of assets. Could this be part of that?

It's a valid style. Although, it was already falling out of vogue by the time I was out of primary school. This was also around the time that many were changing over to a single space after periods and colons.

Back when I tried SoftEther several months back, by way of VPN Gate, the connections seemed pretty unreliable compared to OpenVPN. I think the VPN Gate software locked down the options in SoftEther, though. Packet loss affected gaming and v

Same on my work LCD. Dell E207WFP. I also tried test patterns at http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/ and http://www.testufo.com/ . None of those made caused my screen to make an audible sound.

Agreed on the opaque comment. It took me a moment to realize that was the common factor for all the ones with worse readability. The California design is particularly egregious. I personally would prefer to see a move back to raised letters

My memory is a little fuzzy. I remember a game at the St. Louis arcade museum that was b/w vector and very bright when I went there about 20 years ago. It could have been Space Wars, though.

I used to drink 1 liter or more club soda most days for several years. At some point I cut back considerably (at most .25 liter in a day), and just drank plain water most of the time. Anecdotally, I felt much more refreshed throughout the d

I just added the gamma conversion change to my resampling library. It made a definite improvement in accuracy, especially to astronomy images. Before most details shifted towards being darker, but now they appear to retain their luminosity

Viewing some overly crufty sites can benefit from having JS completely off rather than "simply" using an ad-blocker. I'd wager that some tinfoilhats still run with JS off, or at least NoScript almost everything.
