Agreed, my only exposure to Tcl was writing IRC scripts for bots and I have nothing but fond memories of the experience.

As far as I know, the ID was reflective of the user ID format for the PDP-10's it ran on.

I spent a lot of time, and a lot of my parent's money, on Compuserve in the mid to the late eighties. For me and my best friend all our time was spent in two places. First, and absolute foremost, was Island of Kesmai. This game, and it

How in the world do you remember to put gas in your car? Are you getting stranded on the side of the road with no gas all the time? Don't drive? How in the world do you manage anything else in your life? You are painting a picture that

Love stories like these. I miss the old internet where people just created things for the shear joy of it. I've tried my hand at two different things so far, but neither has found much steam. https://toggles.codewalkers.net&

I'm not a fan of the truck driving crowd, but why do you get to dictate that someone should drive a minivan instead of a truck?

They may not be 5 year olds, but they understand the general public are 5 year olds and may be setting a message to account for that.

Glad to finally have some evidence to support my rejection of so many baby names. My wife was not impressed with my rejection reasons that ultimately boiled down to "people become their names".

I've accidently done this (email bankruptcy) a couple of times recently. We use Outlook at work and the "Mark All as Read" button is right next to the "Run Rules Now" button. After a few minutes of shock and trying

I'd be happy to subscribe to a $10 a month service that acts on my behalf for any denied insurance claims. Their job would be to become the "squeaky wheel". The insurance companies are banking on most people not having the ti

He probably meant the local, Tesla employed, sales person or sales manager. Tesla has showrooms all over the country.

Some of us would love to move into the 21st century. Unfortunately, we can't even agree that IDs are needed to vote.

I don't think I mentioned disruptive kids, but I have another solution for them. If they are disruptive, keep them out of the classes. First, in school suspension, then out of school suspension, then expel them.

Maybe we should call them potential top performers. We are talking about children after all.

"because teachers must slow down and adjust their approach to keep everyone on track." Do this and then you'll have your top performers start being absent as well -- out of boredom. I'd suggest sending kids that are lagg

Completely agree. Use a raspberry pi or just run a VM on your desktop. Do your initial learning on something contained in your home network before you experiment (and potentially get compromised) on the internet.

So many questions...did the developer realize he was putting it up for sale? Did he just have a bin full of a bunch of old CDRs? How did the person rummaging even know what they came across? Presumably the buyer then took this to the develo

"Good call out on the language though - we could have worded it better!" A little ironic that this company is all about wording it better :).

I'm no lawyer, but the statement "to productize the tooling we started building at Twitter" is troublesome to me. Do you have some protection from Twitter/X making a IP claim against this? I.e., can you prove you scrappe

Make them transferable and I agree. If I get the food stamps and can easily transfer them to my adult kids, that would be great. Yes, it would probably mean drug dealers will take food stamps, but whatever.

I'm not saying "wow this person is just too dumb to live." I'm saying this person shouldn't be giving financial advise to anyone.

First, she was called by Amazon. First full stop -- these companies don't care about you enough to call you. Second, they transferred her to an investigator with the FTC? Then they transferred her to someone with the CIA? Then that CIA

I don't think it's fair to say that "nothing good" comes from profit. Aren't new businesses created from profit? Investors make a profit in one business and then invest in others. That in turn creates jobs and oppor
