Your management not caring about 1 user's satisfaction in Computing is as old as multi-user systems. Nice to see someone in this day and age still cared to help out a user.

Interesting. I do not remember exactly what system or language I used in collage, but for some reason I thought a { and } was encoded as [[ and ]] or some kind of double character like that. I new Fortran at the time, but that other langu

TLC (tender loving care) means a better method to avoid spam. That can be a problem with USENET.

Yes and it is cell phone friendly. I moved my site to gemini a couple of years ago. Maintenance is trivial compared to the WEB. There is also gopher and USENET, but on cells it can be hard. But the largest issue is the users attraction to

Yes, in the city were I grew up a single private toy store is hanging on. I think it is because they out right own the building they are in. But we all know their days are numbered. It is too bad, they were real good and carried items tha

Maybe they should allow the Internet Archive access to their article after a week or 2. But I think this will hurt them as time goes on more then help. IIRC, one news org blocked free access and their revenue fell. I think that was in Aus

I have mentioned this in the past, we are on an "energy" standard as opposed to a "gold" standard and to me, in reality, we have been since the industrial revolution. Just Gold and Currency is a means for people to acce

As the should. Voyagers are still active and this maintenance is needed in case issues occur. In a way due to the +24 hours oneway communication to correct software issues should they occur, this will help speed corrections up. Now I wond

Did not know that existed, I enabled it but no luck. Must be a NetBSD thing based upon this new message: > WebGPU is not yet available in Release or late Beta builds.

Good example of what Private Equity did and doing to many industries. I also notice once a PE Firm takes over a Company, kiss quality good bye. They mentioned Eye Wear is next, I think the author can guess where that is going. No reason t

True but people also forget Microsoft invested a lot of $ into Apple to keep it going. M/S did that so they could point to Apple as a competitor during their anti-trust trials. That investment gave Jobs time to turn Apple around, othe
