Yeah, I was bitten by this too. I had pre-ordered on iTunes using my iPhone not thinking about how I might want to watch it. When it was released, I wanted to watch it on my TV, which has a Chromecast. Needless to say, I watched it on my iP

Towards the end of summer, one of my Raspberry-pi security cameras starts detecting "motion" in the form of the sunlight dancing on the wall when the fluffy clouds float by :)

I just wanted to say thanks for the work that has gone into, not only the restoration process, but the videos and accompanying articles as well. Computer history has always been a favorite topic of mine. I was only 7 when my father gave me

You might be surprised just how many successful applications simply dump a packed struct to disk as a serialization format (or even transmit it over the wire). If the operating environment (OS/hardware) is known to be of a certain typ

I have a few of them in our house, and like you said, they're just quietly working away. A couple of them are serving as motion-sensing security cameras, complete with email alerts. I just commented yesterday actually to someone about

I wonder if this is also why the default terminal in Ubuntu slows to a crawl if you write a ~4kb long line (I was working on a program which was processing some SDR data, outputting 0/1 to the screen without any line breaks).

Powershell really became interesting for me recently. I was working on diagnosing a production issue where one of our win32 applications failed on loading a .net assembly (dll). The error messages weren't terribly useful, and I wasn&

I agree, FidoNet was a wonderful technology. My local BBS also had access to several newsgroups that were synced nightly. Between the two, I had plenty of material to keep my young mind busy. Perhaps too much material (some of the alt. n

As someone currently paying a $22/day parking fee at a hotel, I know exactly what you mean. However, in my case it was a booking through Hotwire, so I didn't even know the hotel name in advance.
