> Back in the day, founders would go into debt to buy a hard drive. Some even mortgaged their homes to keep things afloat. I can remember my first company, Magicomm, in 1988 bought two 25Mhz 386's after we released our first BBS-bas

So the fact that it's releasing as much in one day as the entire US does in a year means nothing? Wow...that's strange...it's going to take a bit to get my head around the logic of that. I'm not saying your wrong but

Wow, I just happened to go through that last night. I selected the Crest 3D White after the same torturous 5 minutes :) But I'm not sure all that choice made my life any worse for the ware, and I'm naturally suspicious of any heav

Is it just me or does this sounds suspiciously like the Uber/Airbnb model? Seems to be working ok for them. Perhaps the nature of genetic testing changes things.

Articles like this utterly piss me the fuck off. A few weeks ago, I was doing hard time with people who, due to fairly outrageous "re-offender" statues, were serving 15 years for stealing $50 items, or 5 for walking out of Home

Exactly. In Orlando, it's Paramour and/or Orange Blossom Trail. You hit the nail right on the head here..altho it's probably not just a Florida-thing and represents the utter hypocrisy and gamesmanship of the ridiculous war o

I just don't think many people realize just how much legal corporate and government "business" is created by the insane war on drugs, and I am convinced this is the reason why it continues. Like I mentioned before, I just spe

I'm somewhat surprised he doesn't just tell them to get the hell off his lawn, too. Acronym soup is such a 80s/90s thing...I for one am glad technologists finally clued up and stopped that practice for the most part.

Yes, until the whole room full of people are unconscious due to ingesting a few ml's too much of it.

Possession of heroin, Possession of over 20g of weed...both felonies. You can read my previous posts about it. I'm just glad it's all finally over and I'm free to move and work as I need.

I violated 3 years felony probation late last year here in Florida and was picked up on the warrant on May 18th. The original charges were possession charges from about 5 years ago, and I only had 6 months to go when I was violated for work

Draft Kings is simply stock market day trading redux. Some people win, some people lose...for the life of me I can't see any difference between the two, so either let both continue or (somehow) eliminate them.

On the bright side, Twitter will only fire 140 people at a time, giving the others time to prepare.

Multi-line chat in BBS's in the 1980s used slash-commands such as these in chat apps...I'm sure I'm not the only one here old enough to remember those. Sigh...like so many other things, what is old is new again. Forcing peopl

The 25-year "offer" from the prosecution is nothing but a scare tactic to make a defendant have to sit and think about all that time for awhile while they work on the other cases they have in the pipeline. It's a very standar

It would seem to me that although on the surface it may seem that there is some sort of repressive sexism going on here, that simple economics can explain it all. The year-end bonus is a very powerful form of behaviour conditioning and it w

Life is way too short to not do what your soul tells you to do, no matter what that may be. Congrats on finding something that soothes yours.
