This is why I like Doom and Doom II, you can just level skip to a level on Ultra Violence and just start blasting, It's good for a quick game compared to War Craft 2. E1M5, E1M7 are also good levels to skip to on Ultra Violence and sta

Which is why when people make it to mars it will thrive. No taxes, no debt and no government regulation. Just build, build, build baby. Hopefully 3D printing and materials science will have some cool tech in the future otherwise it could be

But the RAM requirements were crazy, 8MB RAM in the late 80s which is understandable for what the machine the was offering. Interface Builder is nice, I remember trying to develop GUIs on Amiga with intuition.library and wished that there w

A laundry machine today could be a risky investment as you don't know how many years it will last. My old flat had a machine that broke down (It was less than 6 months old) and there was a known problem with the model which was to do w

If you have 10 y/o tech with todays code and algorithms, surely you could modify and improve 3G and get better speeds / quality? My iPhone 6S drops to 3G all the time. As long as you cut all the bloat (i.e tracking code in html..)
