Slashdot is still online and updating. Some of us still use optical drives from time to time (especially those of us with an existing stock of M-Disc media for long-term archiving). Gateway was purchased by Acer, so it’s not like they just

I used to have a couple of IBM EduQuest machines. The majority of the ISA slots were wrong-handed.

I went to a regional state university. We had an older IBM mainframe with a hypervisor and the students and faculty were all users on MUSIC/OS. This was in the early/mid 1990s.

I wouldn’t mind a 64-bit build of Symbian or WebOS on my phone, actually. Or, hell, Plan 9.

That’s odd, because I remember being a user of MUSIC on the university System/360. I imagine it also sounds odd to all those people who ran AT&T Unix on their PDP/11 systems instead of a Digital OS like RTS/11. Or the peo

Lots of politicians fail to deliver. This administration just flat out lied about their priorities.

Apparently the color name did come from the fruit, and therefore didn’t enter common use in English until around the 16th century.

It could be the first domino. They do have a port on the Gulf of Oman fed by a pipeline from their major fields well inland. This may turn out to be minimal for the world, but it could be huge for the UAE and their major customers.

If you can read someone’s thoughts so thoroughly you should be making a living playing poker. All you have cited as evidence is your own other posts. You just have to have the last word, though, and that word has to be an insult to a strang

Well, one is a search and seizure of data about a great deal more people from a third party that is not the victim.

A business can refuse a warrant, but it takes a legal response in court. Their attorneys need to convince a judge the warrant isn’t necessary - that it causes a bigger burden on them than the benefit to the public. Most businesses will just

Steam friends chat is already my primary method of contact for certain people, having very little to do with playing games together.

I mean… Danny Bonaduce and David Caruso are still celebrities. Not being in the top trending list doesn’t mean they’re irrelevant to culture.

I would have several questions before negotiating seriously, and I could actually be in the market for such a beast. At what multiple would you be comfortable considering selling? If revenue has dropped 85% from its peak, have you identifie

I don’t really care what you “allow” me to do, and I don’t owe you my time for a deep rebuttal of your claims. I accept that you’ve had a bad experience with the project and that you are speaking in good faith about that experience. I do no

Migraines can possibly be triggered by cause and effect chains several intermediate causes long. It could help explain for example why certain things are triggers for certain migraine patients and not others.

Do you understand the difference between a toolkit API and a graphical widget? I’m not trying to fool anyone. I'm not affiliated with the project. I’m just aware of it and have used it a few times. You, on the other hand, have called m

That’s one of those facts that’s always good to know, but in practice people tend to put one card in one slot with no expanders.

I agree on all your points. If someone suffers from migraines, though, it’s worth trying figuring out plausible triggers even if the evidence isn’t really solid. It’s important not to conflate ingredients when doing an elimination diet, tho

There are still ISA slots in new systems with fairly modern processors and plenty of RAM, if you don’t mind buying specific models of industrial PCs for way too much money. For $1100 or so you, too, could have a 4th generation Core i3 machi

Glutamate is considered a migraine trigger, though. Many people do avoid or limit those foods for that reason. Thankfully it doesn’t appear to be a trigger for me, because I love all those things. There is some controversy about dietary glu

Aspartame is also a trigger, but the fact that one person has multiple triggers doesn’t mean they are related at all. Now you’re right that MSG is more than sodium. Sodium can be a headache trigger, including migraines. Glutamate is also

The one we’re trying to avoid the most in my household is sucralose. Genotoxicity and upregulating inflammation and oxidative stress are bad things. Accumulating unchanged in the environment and resisting biodegradation is a bad thing. htt

A lot of the “zero” soft drinks are sweetened differently from the “diet” ones. There’s often a mix of different sweeteners so you don’t get too much of any one aftertaste. The one we’re trying to avoid the most in my household is sucralose

Indeed. It turns out that “MSG headaches” are just high sodium level headaches, either through dehydration, unbalanced electrolytes, elevated blood pressure or whatever else higher than normal sodium levels cause headaches. The same headach
