Oh, the video capture device: because we had everything on analog CCTV, I had two analog TV tuner video capture cards in the server. Plain old 640x480 black and white analog video. When someone pressed the screen capture button on a Cocktai

How they found me: When I was 18, I was hired by The Disinformation Company (disinfo.com, the subculture search engine, which presaged our now post-truth conspiracy-theory laden world, though now sadly a shadow of its former self) as their

The Cocktail Consoles (as we called them) were all custom hardware. Everything was designed to be rock-solid both physically (bars are full of drunk people and liquids) and operationally (everything had to Just Work). Leo designed a core “m

Yep! First, here’s a video from the guy who developed all the hardware, Leo Fernekes. (He runs a great YouTube channel called Leo’s Bag of Tricks all about electronics and neat stuff you can do. Leo’s a genius.) Lots of details in here. ht

I actually was the sole developer who wrote all the software that “networked” the custom hardware together. This project was so ahead of its time and yet required some rather arcane programming knowledge. So much fun though. AMA!

I haven’t read the book in like 30 years, but I recall it being about both nuclear warfare AND nuclear power, inextricably linked. Which means you are right — it resulted in nuclear non-proliferation. It also resulted in an absurd, perhaps

Actually, no, "only you" can't stop it. No one can. There was a book in the 80's called The Hundredth Monkey that posited that if only enough people opposed nuclear technology, there would be a magical critical mass of

This also happens with Amazon, FWIW. We were doing a reconciliation on our credit card statements and saw some charges from Amazon that didn't correspond to anything in our order history, for like $30 or so. (Amazon charges as it ships

First off, I'm sorry you are in pain OP. I hope you can find some help by asking this question. Back pain is fascinating. Rarely, there is an immediate and obvious cause and obvious treatment that will work, wham bam, lickety split. Fa
