TUI (text user interface) I find it interesting that everyone is using TUI when I've always seen CUI (Character User Interface). I come from a DOS and Windows background, and it seems like TUI comes from the *nix world. And Notepad

Because managers like to hear things like "suite" and "turnkey solution". Normal people don't want to assemble their own solution from disparate parts.

AFAIK, MCGA has nothing to do with Mode-X. Mode-X was 320x240, and was achieved by manipulating VGA settings. MCGA supported Mode 13h, but I see no evidence that it could be manipulated to output 320x240 or that it supported planar memory

Russia took Chernobyl by force, then gave it back. They attacked Zaporizhzhia, seemingly only with small arms, and no reactor was damaged. Compare that to the outright destruction of Ukrainian thermal and hydroelectric power plants: http

I don't follow you What's not to follow? Numerous articles have been published with sensational headlines like "the Port of Seattle is empty". It's the smallest port on the West Coast. As others have posted, LA

But also LA and Long Beach are effectively a single port, so per your enumeration … Seattle is the second biggest port on the west coast? Long Beach has almost the traffic as Los Angeles, so by your logic Seattle is only 1/6 the volu

I find it odd that recent articles are always about the Port of Seattle. From a quick Google search, it looks like the busiest US ports are Los Angeles, Long Beach, Port of New York, Port of Savannah, then Port of Seattle. As of 2018, t

Bitcoin is a backstop, a way to step outside manipulated currency. This seems like a phenomenally ironic claim to me. You're giving up government manipulation in favor of rampant individual manipulation and theft.

Both are forms of escape. That can be escaping common boredom to pass the time, or it can be escaping bad feelings or a bad life situation. Also, I'm not convinced that a compelling fiction book that's struck a chord is actually

Taking photos is part of how I stay engaged. I've always caught flak from friends for taking so many photos. Oddly enough, they seem to forget thar attitude when they're poring over the collection of photos of themselves later.

Before smartphones and the Internet, I almost always had a paperback book to read. Bus rides were either me talking to friends (rare, since our schedule didn't match often), reading a book, or uncomfortably fighting the urge to doze o

As the other commenter explained, CPB will survive, but the shave will kill some local stations that receive their funding. That's a severe impact for some areas, and something they obviously want to avoid.

There is a lot more yelling at the radio these days. They are very open with their bias. They only promote programing that services the lefts cultural position. Please give, say, five specific examples from the last 30 days.

Skill atrophy doesn't lower labor costs in any significant way. Hiring fewer people does. Devaluing people lowers it even more. Anything that can be used as a wedge to claim that you're worth less is an advantage to them. Ev

What's the harm in trying to go to mars if it results in decreasing the cost of space flight by 99%? IMO, the harm is that the weirdo billionaire who wants to do this has said that he needs a trillion dollars to accomplish it and sub
