VB6 is still going strong. As answers to most vb6 questions are available on the web since forever, people rarely ask vb questions on stackoverflow. If you look at vbforums.com you can still have 500+ people at any time viewing the "vb

If he wanted to cash in on this, I wonder how much he'd get for it? To my eyes at least it's worth far more than any of the modern art "installations" that sometimes sell for millions.

What scares me most about gmail is the fear that one day an algorithm will decide I'm doing something wrong and terminate my account and no prospect of appealing the decision.

I watched a movie once where a hostage had been left gagged and tied to the bed holding the tv remote. As he flicked through the channels it came to that channel and some weird looking guy in 70s attire was giving a really dry lecture. As t

I googled Jacobin and on the results noticed a tweet from the Jacobin account Angela Merkel has resigned as CDU leader. Her failed promises of "prosperity for all" are leading to the disintegration of the traditional mass parties

The uptick in cases should have started in about 2014 (if 34 years ) or 2020 (if 40 years) and start to tail off a decade later.

About 20 or so years ago I was feeling bad about my chances of developing the type of CJD associated with mad cow disease because of all the burgers I'd eaten over the preceding years. There were also human cases getting reported at a

Wow, I was pretty certain I never read the three investigators but I am must be wrong and mixing up different series! Getting old! I was pretty sure the Hardy Boys had a base like that too. And a friend called Chuck or something. They had s

I read some nancy drew from the local library as a kid but I preferred the hardy boys. They had a secret hideout in their junkyard, a caravan buried under junk. The bad guys always seemed to drive a black sedan though I had no idea what a

Personally I didn't know previously that a sperm contained mitochondria. (I'd thought it not to be proper cell whereas the ovum was). Discussions on heredity at the level I'd be at always said that mitochondrial DNA would rev

Very thought provoking. The file size is 1.93 MB. I wonder what dimensions would a disk just big enough to store that much have? Not long ago I read of a suggestion to archive information as DNA (for its durability iirc). But in terms of ph

i'd be wary of anything the IFPI, the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry present as fact. Similar organisations were until recently engaged in shakedowns of small businesses for even playing the radio. Even after t
