A radio talk show host I really enjoyed came up with this: .'triple double ya site dot gom." You can say that fast and people get it.

Seconded. If there is any skill in consistent demand it is the ability to wrap your head around the new work, new processes, new people, whatever it all may be. For me, understanding and development of this skill into a keen tool happened w

Nope. The greater point here being we definitely benefit when we all understand one another better. Surely that point was not lost, yes?

A screen reader could use various aural means of emphasis that I bet would be as effective as this "color by pattern" idea is. We have pitch, volume, enunciation speed, and for the voice itself the vocal formant frequency can chan

These are some of the best interactions we have here. For sure a problem worth considering. I can't think of anything easy... Only even remotely sensible thought I have at present: We add a check box to replies created by new accounts.

Have you consulted any professionals? There are grave and disturbing outcomes ahead for anyone implementing these ideas. We can only control our own speech. Repeat that to your self in the mirror each morning until it sinks in. We can empo

I basically hate this thing. Sorry team. I know you are trying and you believe in your effort. I know your intent is in the right place too. But, here's the thing: I value real conversation. It is the only conversation worth having.

That is a hedge for people like us. Power of the default says that button will needlessly over exploit a ton of users.

Trust was very slow to come for me. It happened with Windows 10. I really like 10. My computing experiences began on Apple ][ 6502 systems. Then a mix of early Windows for workgroup and SGI IRIX. I was online proper at 9600 baud in early

I have made the mistake of calling the early PC 8-bit, lolol... Yes, it reminds me of an Apple ][ computer, with the major difference being the Apple had the video sub-system on board, and the PC locating that on a card. I often wonder how

Use some finer pitch graph paper and people could author "boot sector code" by literally coloring in the little squares with the necessary bits! Would be sort of like paper tape.

For sure. And early specimens are worth a close look if you ever get an opportunity! Humans can do amazing things! One of those things happens to be really precise, tiny parts literally willed into existing.

Same feels here too. Cassette was kindnof magical and kind of crappy. Well, depending on your machine, potentially very crappy. One of the better cassette loaders can be found in the 6809 based Tandy CoCo machines. When in the cassette t

I love that show! Jack has an infectious take on all the criminal antics! He is able to, for the most part, interview them in a non judgemental way. I fine his style clear and well produced! Very highly recommended!

Such great moves! On their way down, the original creators made sure The Pirate Bay would continue to be that gift that keeps on giving.

That line will haunt Musk to the end of his days. That was a very sexy thing to say, but quite a different beast when it is time to walk the talk. Musk has buckled, talking the walk instead.

Often, one could dial out by pulsing the on hook switch on any phone. Ask me how I know. That was such a fun discovery! I did it frequently from many different phones.

A very simple BASIC compiled pretty well! It did feature online assembly, and I agree with you on this necessary point especially concerning the 2600! See Batari Basic
