Agreed on the repetition. I tried using my Powerbook G3 in class, and there was no way to keep up. I would carry a colored folder for each subject, each with its own yellow note pad, for quickly taking down lectures. I never went digital

I felt the same way about my livejournal account from college. I was just really worried at the time, it could be an issue, when just entering the workforce. I use facebook now, much the same way I used livejournal, keeping track of link

Despite my parents being computer illiterate, I'm glad they were pretty understanding. I never had any IBM experience but I had spent plenty of time on MicroVAX, HP 9000 and later with Sun. I did a number of local pickups (ahh the me

What other systems did they build similar to the PALM? I remember as a young kid buying a quite large (~3ftx4ftx3ft) IBM minicomputer that was just filled with those modules at a local thrift shop during the late 80s. No keyboard or scree

Ah the memories of a Novell NetWare high school. I still remember gleaning the librarians password over his shoulder. Low and behold, his regular login had been granted full permission to the tree! It took them four years, but I almost g

Smartest decision I ever made was backing up all my old childhood 68k and PPC Macintosh systems to QIC using a friends SCSI drive. Later I bought a ClubMac (haha remember them) drive for nothing on eBay. A couple years ago I was able to re

I agree. I just recently signed up for the very first time, simply because news stories seem to break on twitter first. I can't see why I would bother with personal followers. Seems to work great, like you said, as a central place t

My friend who takes Kratom for his severe anxiety also suffers from the same amplification effect during withdrawal. From his discription, "unbearable agitation and electric bolts". I'm taking 1tsp/6hr daily but will t

I use Kratom to manage lower back pain. It is about as effective as Tramadol with less side effects and contraindications for me. I'd give it a 1/10 on my addiction scale (with 1 - THC to 10 - A Year of Liquid Opium Poppy Daily

I still have all my Sony Magic Cap [1] stuff which came out around CodeWarrior 6 I think. Some type of Metrowerks MPW environment and a software emulator which crashed if you breathed on it! [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wik

I am one of those people who does not have a smartphone and tablet. It is very frustrating as ISPs move to that assumption, but I understand I am in the minority.

I believe the DEA is part of the Justice Department and serves the executive branch. The FDA is part of the Department of Health and Human Services, also serving the executive branch. Sorry, I don't know, but it is a good question, abo

Our law makers have delegated many of their powers, under the constitution, to administrative organizations. There are lots of good arguments for and against this, but it is the primary reason why presidential elections are so important in

I've never encountered this sentiment regarding usenet. Or maybe I'm misinterpreting your comment? Do you mean that knowledge of, and participation on usenet is elite/special? I find it fascinating if that is what you mean.

Somewhere I have DATs with like 1GB of custom Marathon levels and texture designs. Including a complete model of our Junior High School a friend of mine made. I'm not sure how I missed the announcement they open-sourced them.

Sorry. Just to mention it is going to give me nightmares about big AUI media converters sticking out, loose, not fitting right, falling off, ahahhaa. Novell Netware. Tree. Booting from floppy disks. ISA Cards!

Interesting, thanks for the discussion on the subject. I just can't see moving away from Windows 7 embedded / Windows 7 enterprise in the near future. I envision all sorts of nightmare scenarios where we have to redeploy all the
