It's because we don't actually love the science, it's just what we lkke to say. Elon was the darling until we didn't need him anymore, he talked to the jujitsu guy, and now he is othered.

The autocorrect of dual booting to duel booting really encapsulates the spirit of the era. At that poit tbe #1 feature of OS/2 was the boot manager and the ability to boot into logical drives.

A literal Prometheus has just passed. No matter the disappearance of pushing rocks up hill, he did carry us a booting Net/2 to the lowly i386 PC crowd. We are lucky to have been blessed with his gift. RIP

The insanity of how they'd take Binutils/GCC and split it up like a BSD tool, and twist it unrecognizably was just so odd. I'd been collecting old BSD stuff from the era, and even 4.3BSD/Mach is so weird as well, althoug

Taxi drivers in Hong Kong were telling me about some bad flu in the Mainland around Christmas. It was known in Asia far before it'd been reported in western media.

I've been in Hong Kong for nearly 9 years with no DST and it's been AWESOME. DST is absolutely jarring and has the worst aspects of jetlag. Let it die already, trust me not having it is great.

Great idea! Now go through public records and deplatform the deplorables. Use the "off platform behaviour" code that is so very progressive of you. I hope I have nothing registered with you, but obviously you cannot be trusted.

It's legals mistake. Ads have to be run by them. They should have caught it.

Have you seen the actual market share? Linux is a fraction of a percentage point. There is no way this is happening anytime ever since quake iii drummed up zero support. A hardware platform like the steam deck is the only hope. And I wonde

D&D always has been a commercial product of the west. What did they play in the Soviet Union that was killed by becoming a sold product?

Your book was incredibly influential in my early years, and I have to say the number one thing that set it apart from everything else and made it accessible to a 13 year old me is that it was about people. Even the cookie recipe was just t

Cayman must be Cayman Systems (Cambridge, MA). I'd seen this zip file floating around for well over a decade, maybe quite a bit longer. It was amazing to see someone write enough glue for an emulator to actually boot it. It's ev

I chose to introduce it slowly setting where it came from. I wasn't aiming to write an encyclopedia entry. Otherwise it'd be a one liner. Can't please them all.

newer Qemu can emulate the 68040, and even a Quadra 800. that would be the much easier route...
