No one will believe me, but I had this feature on a BBS I wrote back in about 1986 or 1987. I cannot prove it because the code no longer exists. I had a problem user that kept posting junk to the forum. I deleted things for a while and t

In 1962 when Grumman was awarded the contract for the Lunar Excursion Module (LEM), Thomas Kelly was promoted to be the lead engineer. He was 32 or 33. He was 40 when Apollo 11 landed on the moon. There's an episode of "From the

Is this correct? SA, or Selective Availability (an intentional degradation of accuracy) was turned off in May of 2000. This allowed existing civilian C/A code GPS receivers to generate better solutions immediately. It did not involv

Aw man, I'm with you on that one. Turbo Pascal was incredible. Delphi 3, 5, and 7 were incredible too!

70's and 80's here. Big fast printers. I know, who does massive code listings or memory dumps anymore? I feel that if I had one, I'd be using it all of the time, though.

Agree. I was screaming inside my head the whole time, "Where is it?" IMO, this article is very poorly written.

Just a personal memory... Years ago, I worked on a job out at Mojave flight test area. One of the F-4 pilots was a man named Dick Lawyer. I got to know him a little bit, the job was completed, and I moved on. Years later I heard that he

I have a friend that is a professional diver and he says he was told from his gas supplier that there is no helium shortage. According to that guy, one of the places helium comes from is natural gas wells, and we have a lot of them. So wha

I don't believe that is what "throw up a clyster" means. If you google it, that particular phrasing is not uncommon to this story. To me, from context (I have no special knowledge), "throw up a clyster" means to mi

I introduced a friend of mine to WordJazz in 1983 or 1984 and he liked it so much that he kept in touch with Ken. His number wasn't hard to find, and if you called it and heard the "Hello?", you were instantly certain that y
