I vaguely remember playing it. It was total garbage (the leaked copy). You could play maybe a few levels etc. Ultra buggy. I think my buddy burned it to 3 CD-Rs and it spread around my gaming friends in HS pretty quickly.

Had a similar experience. I was a complete addict in High School to late 90's Everquest. I believe the project was EQEmu and I was able to spin up a local SQL server and run my own private server. I had no idea what I was doing at t

My father was an engineer and I guess saw the value in uninterrupted Internet. We had three phone lines in our home..maybe we should have just gone with ISDN now that I think about it.

I don't think you can be thrown in jail. Just torrenting a film and watching it would be a civil offense? Now making copies and selling them on the street corner is another story.

Your post reminded me of this article from almost a decade ago. Using James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem as a great example: https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2014/02/big-break...

I just searched for that new Blackberry docu. There is a lot of weird pornographic films with "Blackberry" in the name.

Sadly, I haven't seen a 300ZX in many years. Remember this Superbowl commerical? https://youtu.be/uXdFKcETEPg

The story behind the EV1 is pretty interesting if you haven't read up on it. They were all crushed eventually. I think there's only a handful left. One is at a university in the Midwest. Pretty sure OSU.

I've seen a few posts on HN over the years on this exact topic. Always seems like the general consensus is people would like to get screened earlier. But their doctors won't order the test / insurance won't cover it un

Company I worked for from 2012-2016 still uses the OpenFire + Pidgin approach for internal IM that I set up around 2013-ish. I couldn't pry it from their hands. All the employees loved it. OTR did work well. But causes some small iss

There is a lot of talk about that guy on reddit. Supposedly he stole the code? Or the dataset? (Very early days of covid so it wasn't widely available) I can't remember exactly. Then he responded and had a somewhat valid defense
