I used to be able to tell which of the long row of Model 33 TTY's was left on at the college computer center by whistling the 300 baud carrier and modulating it a little. The ones that were on would start typing gibberish.

It's claimed to be producing energy via so-called "low energy nuclear reactions" involving hydrogen. You have to supply hydrogen (which you can get by electrolyzing water once the systems is up and running) and re-form the catalyst when it

Someone actually made this thing! It was probably a lot of effort, and there it is! Why would anyone want to use it?

This guy is, in the words of Monty Python, "The type what causes unrest." Whether that's a good thing or a bad thing, I cannot say. I do think there is a problem with large companies not quickly addressing problems like this. I have a fri

I agree, I like Ruby better both for the syntax, the cleaner oo integration, and so on -- but a year and a half away from each, I can pick up the Python again a lot quicker. And python is friendly to scripting, low-level and embedded appli

A wrenching story of bad memes and their long term outcomes? Not sure what to make of it. Poor bastard seems to end up making a profoundly nihilistic statement -- life is pointless and the only thing to do is get off the bus.
