Wait, so between $327 and $587 (wonky 70s inflation) a semester in today's dollars? I'd have killed for that.

Yep. Same here. For you young 'uns itching for the headaches of yesteryear SDF has been kicking, in one form or another, since 1987. Yep, you can also setup a vanity (~) page(s). http://sdf.org/index.cgi?faq%3FBASICS%3F

Even in a conjectural utopia, for legal reasons, you'll always need some kind of "hard copy". No one wants thought blasts from the IRS.

Drop down consoles like Guake and Yakuake are one of those few things that have become a necessity for me in the *nix world.

Awareness is good for stopping bad things that are coming down the pipe, but it pretty worthless for getting rid of bad things that are already in place. To change the entrenched you need big industry players behind you and a willingness as

There are plenty of female psychopaths out there. The difference is that women are more socialized than men (hiding more obvious traits) and they seldom take the macho (sometimes violent) route to feed their egos.

They aren't always charming and intelligent, sometimes they are repulsive and brutal. I'd say the big warning signs are cruelty, a repulsion of weakness while also finding it irresistible, rapidly changing tactics (sometimes withi

In reality the sheriff saw an opportunity for positive press and went for it. You don't turn down free PR.

Most fields within economics fall within social science, not natural science. That doesn't make a non-science, but like psychology there is a lot of weak ground for shills and hacks to cause major damage. I'd rather know Shiller&#

Hipsterism is nothing new (we were complaining about it back when affluent kids started hitting juke joints in the poor part of town). We call it a sub-culture but it isn't one and never has been. It is most often upper-middle kids (ge

'Leaker' is the closest thing to neutral. With most people he is either a 'whistle-blower' or a 'traitor'.

You don't need to patch the problem and anyone trying is probably out to sell you $50 million system. In my state an inmate was broken out with a helicopter. The Dept of Corrections had an interesting solution. Anyone caught looking up

Lately it seems like this work has been more pre-engine research and crunch time follow-up, so I can't say I'm too worried for id. He has made it pretty clear over the last few years that there really isn't a lot for him to d

It is one of the few titles that hits the sweet spot of things like Pirates of Silicon Valley or The Social Network. It tells a gripping story of a successful underdog in tech that is accessible and entertaining. Kushner did a great job, th

True, we learned from these mistakes. Slavery is an unforgivable stain on our souls, something we'll have to live with for eternity. The same goes to the relocation and genocide campaigns against Native Americans. We've never allo

It probably worried the neighbors up to the point where they realized there wasn't a fire. I can't imagine he'll end up driving it enough for that to be a problem. In 2 or 3 years (more like 6 months) he'll get tired of moving it around and

There is nothing like a Selectric's keyboard. Bought one in the early 2000s, disconnected from the internet for a year, moved out into the woods and typed on nothing but the Selectric. Never did get around to writing the great American nove

Retaining any optimism when it comes to ATT and the FCC is a difficult task. Every FCC hearing involving ATT seems to be the same old song and dance. So yes, having a conversation would be nice, but it won't be allowed. Not a real conversat

Yes. It tells an important story about product creation. DuckTales had to make it over 65 episodes and under budget. It had simple goals and it accomplished them. Look at Apple at their brightest hours. You can say that the iPhone was Apple

It was a good example of when outsourcing works. Japanese animation was still cheap at the time (mid 80s to early 90s). Same thing happened with Korea after that. No idea where that will move next. It gave the show's developers the opportun
