Apparently you can buy "pig whipworm" (Trichuris suis) eggs and ingest them. It seems they can't survive for long in your gut (so there's no danger of an infestation), but it's long enough to trigger whatever cure

This is the paper: https://www.pdp8.net/images/greenbar.shtml The 132 column dot matrix printers often used to have the sprocket drive _above_ the print head. So in order to get your report off the printer, you'd

My Dad would bring home piles of the in-between pages from the 130 column fanfold that would separate reports & print jobs from the dot matrix printers (the ones with horizontal green stripes on one side). That stuff was great for sket

I think we need a "Space New Deal", I'm honestly saddened by the lack of progress in space in my lifetime. I mean we've done some great work, but we haven't made any giant leaps since getting to the moon 51.5 years

Why are they exclusive to the UAE? (neither this article, nor the one linked from the HN discussion the other day mention exclusivity). If it was a UAE manufacturer, I could see why, but you'd think Philips would want to sell world-w

Absolutely, no doubt. Personally, I think Erlang is really interesting and is very well designed (kudos to Joe Armstrong!). But I find that Golang can do it just as well if not better -- it's also far easier to cross compile (e.g. fo

I think the right director(s) could make Snowcrash work -- e.g. the Wachowskis'. They did a really good job adapting V for Vendetta from the original Alan Moore and David Lloyd comics/stories.
