   Holy cow. It is incredible how versatile this little thing is. I wonder if anyone has succeeded building a personal computer out of it, with keyboard and tape.

   Yep, same here. I fire up my 386DX-40 and Pentium-133 occasionally. Civilization 1 and 2 are still beyond awesome. Very playable and loveable games. I play Doom II now more than I did when I was a kid. Mortal Kombat 3 is the best. Windows

   I wonder if there is a fork available of normal Thunderbird. I don't understand this. Why destroy a perfectly working application?

    I wonder if it is possible to implement a watermark via patterns of Oxford comma occurrences and similar linguistic styles that would fit into a simple character set.

    Looking at how 95% of modern web sites appear today, the fear is grounded.

    Same feeling here... Really surprised there are so many upvotes here. Well, the fact that we now have a vocal and even political psytrance only says that this is now part of the pop culture. And the sound has changed as well. Today's m

    Fully agree, and hello from another dad here. There's no more stuff like Paps, Mumbo Jumbo, Double Dragon, Reefer Decree, Ticon, etc, and even the legendary Son Kite and Beat Bizzarre are not the same they've used to be in the hey

    I wish somebody could implement a Photoshop UI for GIMP. I am using GIMP as my main photo editor but there is a lot of UI pain. A lot of it. Many things are counterintuitive.

    I'd dare to say one of the reasons is quite simple - Bing's ugly UX. When Google was just starting to gain popularity its search results weren't much better than Altavista's. Yet, its interface was much cleaner, it loade

    Happy FileZilla user here, on my FreeBSD laptop. I move tons of files from remote astronomical observatory routinely, sometimes need to define custom rules - what to download, upload, filter across folders, etc. Sometimes I need to push a f

    In addition to replaceable battery, which is great, I'd do the following: - Remove all excessive animations from the UI. Please stop wasting my battery and my brain cycles on nothing. iPhone 1 to 4 had sufficient level of animation. iO

    The onslaught of greedy Google and Microsoft execs on our education system will not allow this to happen.

    Could not agree more. Google is nothing but assaulting the integrity of the educational system and well-being of the children and our common future. The value is not only not added, but is taken away from the educational process. I thought

    Summing up densities for O-K stars in [1] inside the volume of a sphere of r=100 pc, I end up with ~ 91,600 stars. If we include M dwarfs that number rises to ~ 375,000 stars. [1] https://www.pas.rochester.edu/~emamajek&#x2F

    My company is operating for, knocking wood, 20 years. We have worked with about a handful of SEO agencies, including some prominent ones, with budgets comparable to what is mentioned in the article. None of them have delivered anything tang
