I remember playing this on DOS with my dad. It was one of the games that got me into computer gaming, so thank you for that. For me, personally this one was up right up there with Wolfenstein 3D and the Wing Commander series. One of my favo

Apple treats the regular variables that retail stores must suffer as unbearable undefined behavior. They try to regulate and define too much. Their customers truly are, literally and figuratively, treated like sheep at every opportunity.

I bought a 2 stroke gasoline engine kit for a bicycle last year for about $80 and it was the best money I spent in a long time. The thing is a POS, it hurts to ride long distances, it drops parts all over the road, breaks down all the time,

Considering USA 245 is gathering data on targets that are 42,000km away I'd be willing to venture that they can gather a lot at 300km. Perhaps they can use this for signals intelligence as well.

Your coffee bean analogy isn't sound. If someone steals a 50lb bag of beans and sells them to me, I am now in possession of 50lbs of stolen property. If I sell 25lbs of the beans before the police catch me, they will confiscate the rem

What is it that programmers do? They automate complex tasks that take humans considerable effort. If a university can accomplish this task with their funding and no urgent incentive, what is the nation state actor doing with their enormous

Wasn't that the point? You can't seriously expect to build a system like big brother and be so naive as to think this wouldn't be result sooner or later.

You never know. Companies like Boeing create LTAs with their suppliers, agreeing to specific pricing over many numbers of years. Most of these contracts are written with language that if a part is no longer required that Boeing must still b

I can see it. The Saudi's control over their own media means that their population will likely never find out, and the ones that do will support the government anyway. Outside of that the rest of the world is in the perfect place to ac

Let's take that avenue as a thought experiment... 1. Netgear buys the bug. 2. They keep shipping firmware with a private key. 3. Someone with malicious intent finds it. 4. Someone with malicious intent MITMs a Netgear network and does

To me, this displays a deep misunderstanding of FOSS on the part of this projects maintainer. He wants to create a project, promote that project to the top of it's field, and completely ignore the perception of his userbase. Then he fe

And on top of that you only get about 4-5 years of security updates from Google on a Chromebook before they give up on you. [1] That's should be an embarrassingly short amount of time even for a computer product, but alas.... Google do

I'm not convinced. I have a theory that when the US killed Qasem Soleimani Iran looked over to Russia for a nod of approval. Once they got the nod (yeah, we'll back you in a proxy war) Iran went ahead with retaliation against the

I don't think most Americans would have a tax on their bank balance. Hence, wealth tax on the rich. They asked if rich people should pay taxes for being rich. This has nothing to do with regular people. This is the EXACT same gas-light

I agree that unions were important, at one time. However technology is at a point where large enough companies can simply engineer around the human resources problem if they want to. So bringing a company like Google's feet to the fire

I have a different view. Considering the company employed "Person A" to create a spreadsheet, why would it be a violation to employ "Person B" to gain access to it in the absence of "Person A"? The company owns
