And the guy next to him is just staring at his phone, probably thinking, "I'm not even gonna ask". Although if it were me I'd probably annoy the heck out of him asking why he had a Wii on the airplane!

The Dodgers could have so easily turned this into a huge win. After 50 years they could have just awarded him a paper lifetime pass. Scan this and get in for any game! It would have been so easy. Or if they really wanted him to go digita

Almost everything had an easter egg in it back in the day. When computing was more fun and less serious. They fell out of favor when people realized they were a security issue, because it was a code path that rarely got tested.

Another fun related one: If your username is Tyler and you run shutdown, instead of the usual message it will say "Oh, good morning Mr. Tyler, going down?" Discovered this in college when I was shoulder surfing a coworker who alw

While I sympathize with the author, and feel the same way, I think Apple/Google have some blame here. They make certain simple things only possible in the apps, because the APIs are not exposed via the web. Notifications is a big obvi

I have no idea if that claim is true, but what I did love about visiting Finland was the even the small apartment I rented had a sauna in it! It seems like it's a non-negotiable for even the smallest accommodations.

I actually like when that happens. Like when people "correct" me about how reddit works. I appreciate that we still focus on the content and not who is saying it.

I seem to recall that the turbo button didn't come along until the 80286, but some of the PC clones had them before that. My 486 definitely had a turbo button (that was the one I built after using the original PC for so many years).

I played this on the original IBM PC. (Un)fortunately, my dad got the 8MHz upgrade, so the game was really hard, because it was built for a 4MHz clock. Luckily someone eventually realeased a DOS utility that would fake a 4MHz clock by maki
