Long before copy-pasting code from Stack Overflow was a thing, I was copy-typing code from Byte. Made a cool spiders game that blew my mind with use of PEEK and POKE.

Does anyone support financially unsuccessful products? I think Google gets a bad rap because a) it can kill products with large amounts of users that still aren't valuable enough to the bottom line or company strategy, and b) it can&#x

These are funny but only bad ideas. http://kickfailure.com has some bad ideas with spectacularly bad execution as well. And they're real. Truth is stranger than fiction. I would definitely buy a potato skin jacket.

Seems like a bunch of you are replacing procrastination through social media with procrastination through coding. Marco Arment also has a Mac app, which quits any app in a list that's been idle. https://marco.org/apps

At least in the US, that amount would be $7/month - what Facebook makes per user now.

Not exactly - just for the quarter. "Mulvaney wrote that the bureau has $177 million in the bank, enough to cover the $145 million the bureau has budgeted for its second quarter."

They didn't have the time to put RAM slots in a "midway" solution? Though, the image of the motherboard halfway down Apple's product page shows four slots. Might just need the tools to pry open the back.
