Is there an 'explain it like I'm 15' for how this works? It seems like black magic. I've been a computer hobbyist since the late 1980's and this is the first time I cannot explain how a computer does what it does. A

Yeah, I guess BOB_89A.GIF is the CANYON.MID of that era. I'd completely forgotten about it, but remembered it as soon as I saw it. Crazy to think that was "full screen" and seemed hi-res.

I was reading "The C Programming Language" as a teenager, probably around 1994. I had a question, so I looked up Brian Kernighan's email* and wrote him. Ten minutes later I had a well written answer that explained my issue. I

Is there a way to play with a gamepad controller? This is the coolest web game I've ever seen. So fast and smooth even on my ancient laptop. I didn't know you could do this in a browser. Now I want to see a Subspace remake to comp

> I wonder how it will deal with the inevitable spam and csam. I'm thinking a modern Usenet would need something like ad blocker lists - volunteer run filter(s) that you choose to subscribe to.

I think the author is saying: "decentralized internet discussion system", not "decentralized internet". Reddit and Hacker News are centralized. Usenet was decentralized, the usenet servers were run by various companies (

I would have thought the REAL scam would be to have an actual token - and get crypto holders to buy that token, fully knowing it is a scam - but thinking they can buy in low early & dump it in a week on the victims.

BBS software was very regional and scene specific. A lot of Midwestern Warez guys loved Renegade, and Cott Lang hated that! The really cool warez guys ran PC Board (for some reason), or a Fourm hack which looked cool but seemed buggy. I thi
