One of his YouTube contemporaries pointed out that his "supplements" he sold contained nothing but soy derivatives, and instead of acknowledging it, decided to dress in drag and scream at a camera for several minutes. I wish I wer

I'd put a huge asterisk next to "deported" in this case.

That's a damned shameful decision, because losing SteamOS/Linux support and Steam workshop for the chance to be on the same platform as a fad game is not really "pro-consumer". This will kill off the Steam Workshop and

I've never heard/seen of the rhubarb stuff, but fast growing plants are amazing to watch. Duckweed grows so fast that you can see bubbles and twitches on the surface of the water.

Game devs need to unionize. Now. This madness has got to stop.

Seems to be the "Usable, Extendable, Efficient - pick two" scenario at its core. I remember very well a word processor on C64 (GeOS Writer I think?) that would use its own disk as swap to get around memory limits. I eventually bou

C64 disks with custom loaders (read: games disks) were so fascinating to me as a kid because the sounds of the 1541 drive would change as soon as that fastloader code activated. Lots of game disks had their own unique loading sound signatur

This is exactly what it was. It has since been purged from my system. Thank you!

While I wish I could agree (and being from the demoscene, pushing hardware to the breaking point is just what we do), there comes a time when you really do need a new machine. Many iterations of home computers (VIC-20 to C64 to C128 and so

I remember an episode of Computer Chronicles where a man claimed 8-bit computers should be as relevant today as they were when just released, because "every program is a turing machine, essentially." His main argument was that the

Thing is, I need NVidia because of CUDA. It's so frustrating to be put in a situation where I have to deal with the sucky drivers because, where else am I going to go? For some silly reason, AMD still has a reputation of "sub-par&

We've said "things should be better" since GLX became a thing. The real problem is that every Linux-based OS is too stupid to realize when something in the windowing system is broken. Every time I upgrade Ubuntu, I run into a

I dunno what Ubuntu did, but Filesystems tab in gnome task monitor is now completely useless. It's filled with virtual file systems from packages that I will never ever care about accessing in this way, and they can't be hidden. W

It does matter if you're behind a dumb corporate firewall that doesn't care what you're requesting, unless it's not going through HTTPS. Why yes, this is dumb. Why yes, I can't do anything about it. This is why ha

Nice to see that Sony is still dedicated to hardware, knowing that streaming is a pipe dream in the USA, and will continue to be so in the coming years.

Modern meanings of nationalism are synonymous with jingoism. It was once in the definition list on Wiktionary, but was conveniently removed late last year.

I may be remembering wrong, but I recall an intranet site at my school using some ActiveX and DHTML trickery to get spreadsheets for school events showing in the browser (IE of course). The fact that this is now possible on the Internet wit

Same here. In the late 90's I was involved with some other kids from college creating and maintaining a site called "The Crazy Zone", where I designed some of the first JavaScript games ever made (as far as I know), including

I know you're trolling, but there once was a time when fast food wasn't objectively terrible. Something happened in the name of cost-cutting. Taco Bell is one of the biggest ones I remember, as they would have an employee prepare
