Aw, no way, he's your friend when things get rough! Along with the Bugaloos and all those crazy Sid and Marty Krofft shows! I loved that stuff as a kid. Although I think Land of the Lost was my favorite, certainly a little less out the

My favorite bit was the Spiderman character that didn't talk. Little thought bubbles, akin to comic books, would appear over his head so you had to read to get in on the joke/gist of the sketch.

I'm not sure what the ratio is. What I do know is that there is a concept that, to me used to be a well known concept, that web developer's are encouraged to follow called "graceful degradation". I wish more people would

It is available on Windows 10 and takes less than a minute to install. Fair enough and your point about feature updates for 10 ending makes sense. My point is that I shouldn't have to use the store for a feature like this. I avoid th

Then it should be easy enough for them to install it to Windows 10 on the next Feature Update. If they can stick a News toolbar on my taskbar with an update than surely something as important and useful as this can be added as well.

Indeed, the overview page even mentions that. XtermWM is expected to be helpful to the following kinds of people: Third item on the list is: People who used the DOS-era "shells" like IBM DOS Shell, DESQview... I can definitel

As with a lot of people here, one of my first thoughts was, "yes, but how do I browse the web?". So after reading a bit, then skimming and skipping a bit, I found the section on mothra and abaco. By far my favorite line in the art

I finally got so fed up with Edge quietly changing my preferences back to their defaults I decided to completely stop using it. I have an MS account, Office 365 for work, etc. I thought, this is great, I'll continue using Firefox for p

I do some support work for a friend and his kid's school laptops. All Lenovo/Win 10. He complained about the same thing, in this case on laptops that were completely shutdown the night before. In the end we tracked it down to the

Congrats on another release! It's great to see basic, well core, tools like this get the attention they deserve. Changes to improve performance by crafting code specifically for hardware where appropriate is especially nice IMHO.

Just look at what a long thread your comment has spawned below. And most, if not all, of these comments have nothing to do with the topic the article is about. It's not just a lack of appreciation for jokes, it actively hijacks the con

I would assume it falls under fair use. I had the same reaction until I realized, as cool as it is, you only get the cover. Every article on a page ends with a "turn to page A9" type of prompt and since those pages are not part of

It's complicated and I can't do it justice in a comment here. This is a pretty good summary [0] of the atmosphere near the end and some thoughts from PJ on why it all had to end, at least her part in it. [0] http://www.

I miss it but it was never the same without PJ and I hope she's been able to move on and is doing well.

And it comes across as just whimsically sarcastic enough to fit in with the overall subject really well. If that wasn't intentional, even better!

1993 is roughly when I bought my first computer and it came with 120 MB HD. I dual booted Linux (Slackware) on it in 1995. Still on Win 3.11 though, I believe I bought a bigger hard drive before upgrading to Windows 95, but still dual booti

That's certainly possible - the article quotes him from a few years ago talking about how it's been a positive experience that opened doors for him.

He has retaken the picture several times, on anniversaries of the album's release. He seemed to think it was cool and opened doors for him five years ago but I guess he's changed his mind since then.

That's pretty much how I feel as well. People that complain about all the variations in CSV "formats" out there aren't wrong but in practice, for me anyway, most of the files I work with in any given situation come from

I think we had the same book. I remember laughing out loud when I read on the back "Dyslexics of the world, untie!" I still run Slack today, by far my favorite distro; as they say the most *nix-like distro

I liked Composer though. It wrote readable, reasonably compliant (for the time) HTML. It was an invaluable learning tool for me, writing WYSIWYG in one window and seeing the source in another...

Not saying I disagree but to play devil's advocate here - wouldn't them spending on luxury items still benefit society overall rather than them keeping it locked up somewhere? Working class people are the one's making and sel
