404 error? Matt Greenwood's page is still there, but the winamp repository is gone. (Not all that surprising, as I expect "winamp" is trademarked, although there are still some other Github "winamp" repositories.)

I actually realized this last week, and have yet to try it. Programming for almost fifty years, using Git for thirteen years, and not an idiot (although there are those who would dispute this, including at times my spouse).

It's not that. You only see the "BOOST" indicator when coming out of curves; if this were a turbocharger you'd see it all along the straightaways. Someone else mentioned KERS (kinetic energy recovery system); that seems

I remember when Google Maps allowed you to enter "*" as the only search term, and you'd see every business in the area. Not just a portion of those who had paid for placement. Those were the days...

I love(d) resource forks. Before there were signed applications, it made it easy to modify applications without the source code. I even had a plug-in that disassembled the binary executable blobs, and had fun modifying one of the original t
