The only people complaining about free speech are literally right-wingers spreading verifiable lies (and this includes non US right-wingers). The fact that this is an issue is a tragic flood of propaganda by these liars.

If he's so rich and smart, just make a better Twitter and people will flock to it, right? I mean, I thought he's for the invisible hand of the market yadda yadda yadda.

I'm curious how they claimed that the cooling solution is over-designed because they were only able to achieve 80% of the spec'd power target (most likely TDP since people stopped using max power in the 00's). There are a num

I didn't say everything was finished. ;-) In fact, I'm not sure how to decide if something actually IS finished. Sometimes I just want to understand something, and when I get to that point, I call it done. I just like to learn. Li

Huh, I've never been asked that. Yes, for over 30 years. I could never list them all. Nearly every thought I have becomes a program. I've written x86 asm game hacks (DOS era), 2D tile games (80's), Windows MIDI composers, gam

Kinda sound like a wanker here, but if I can only by $10k of bonds... that works out to about $500 after taxes in a year. Not a whole heck of a lot, or do they retain the 8% for however long you hold the bond? (e.g., 10 years?) Meaning at 7

I don't know how many times I promoted this myth, and I never even owned one. Ironically, I really want one now because conversion vans are way too expensive, and Elements had great clearance, space, and 4WD. I hope they make a comebac

I thought the reboots were in order to retain property rights, and that with 2-3 years between reboots aimed at teens, there are a new batch of teens. So it seems like a win-win: renew property rights and lure in the new batch of teens.
