And for all intents and purposes you can pretend it doesn't exist, at this point. I've opened up Regedit in the past year, but I work with a piece of benighted software that supports a weird but useful feature designed fifteen yea

So I assume these must be rival alt-taxi companies, but I have never heard a whisper of their existence before this story. Uber, despite the seemingly coordinated smear campaign, reigns supreme in this area.

Even some of the bigger mountains are struggling. Saddleback, in Rangeley, ME has shut down, and Sugarloaf, also in northwest ME, is not doing that great.

Moore's law has allowed us to be lazy, and things have gotten too complicated for anybody to fully understand everything. I feel like I spend half my time trying to delete old dead code, and I can't keep up.

Mac Classic was great. For some reason the G4s they issued us in high school didn't have the Classic compatibility mode locked down as tight as everything else useful (to a teenager), so I could play older Mac video games in study hal

Eh, that sort of thing happens all the time. We have customers that are national banks of foreign countries that are running on unactivated or cracked Windows servers. I would bet that case was a contractor who was using their own equipmen

> Traffic cops are reasonable unless they're running behind quota It's kind of funny to watch on the last two or three days of the month how many of the state troopers are out on the interstate, doing speed traps all day long.

Yup, the good old federal highway funding, the stick that keeps the states in line. Also why we have the absurd and harmful drinking age of 21.

> Televisions were prohibitively priced as to make one even a stretch. It's just astounding how cheap televisions have become. A 32" flatscreen is like $150, and weighs ten pounds.

Most of southern New Hampshire is within commuting distance of Boston - plus there are no income taxes. Housing is a little pricey, but not compared to Bay Area prices. A 200k+ household income would let you live like kings.

A pity they put all that work into something that doesn't work as well as a regular chainsaw... Lucky nobody lost an eye with those bits welded onto the teeth of the original chain.

My problem with landfills is that it's so inefficient. Particularly for things like wood waste or construction demolition, it makes a lot more sense to grind it, burn it, and make power from it, then bury the much smaller amount of as

So a brand-new console from a company that has an abysmal record at working with third-party developers? I kind of wish consoles would just go away, so we could focus on PCs.

Because OpenGL is a dumpster fire of conflicting information for a beginner. I've been looking for a decent opengl book for years, in vain. DirectX 9 was sort of the sweet spot, where the technology stabilized for a few years at someth

You've never worked in a blue-collar industry, then. It's a death by 1000 cuts. When your workers are frustrated by the amount of red tape and regulation surrounding their day to day work tasks, something is wrong.

One needn't always trot out an extreme to try to discredit a point. I've watched my home county wither and die over the last 20 years as increasingly they have been undercut by goods produced under conditions that would be illegal
