Man is it ever a pain to access old iDracs / BMCs with a modern browser :(

I remember chatting with some Nvidia rep at CES 2008. He showed me how cuda could be used to accelerate video upscale and encoding. I was 19 at the time and just a hobbyist. I thought that was the coolest thing in the world.

(And yes I "snuck" in to CES using a fake business card to get my badge)

I remember watching that Freakonomics documentary on Netflix a decade ago. One of the authors mentions "not getting a HS degree is an economic death sentence". I guess times have changed.

I'd just like mine to turn to a brown hue when any of the bathrooms in my household are occupied.

I think they still use that stadium for HS and maybe even some special event college games?

The pro football Hall of Fame is in Canton, Ohio.

I guess it's near a regional airport. Still a pretty random spot though.

Yes but the national aquarium in Baltimore has puffins and that's good enough claim for me.

That movie always creeped me the hell out when I was younger.

I should rewatch.

One of my finest memories was at a lan of around 150 people. We had everyone install Natural Selection half life mod and had a full match going for hours.

Similar happened at another even a few years later. Had about 30 people playing that revolutionary war half life mod on LAN. I think it was called BG mod or something. Good times.

Yea I'd like to grab one literally to copy my garage keycard at work. I always forget and have to pay ridiculous rates in the city...

I vaguely remember playing it. It was total garbage (the leaked copy). You could play maybe a few levels etc. Ultra buggy.

I think my buddy burned it to 3 CD-Rs and it spread around my gaming friends in HS pretty quickly.

Me either! I had no idea. Just thought about Methodus in the shower this morning and decided to Google...

Is it though? When I share a song on a public BitTorrent tracker and get caught. Should each infringement be worth six figures?

Had a similar experience. I was a complete addict in High School to late 90's Everquest. I believe the project was EQEmu and I was able to spin up a local SQL server and run my own private server. I had no idea what I was doing at the time but I got it to work and was able to have friends join me...over my dialup connection. Unreal at the time :)

My father was an engineer and I guess saw the value in uninterrupted Internet. We had three phone lines in our home..maybe we should have just gone with ISDN now that I think about it.

I don't think you can be thrown in jail. Just torrenting a film and watching it would be a civil offense?

Now making copies and selling them on the street corner is another story.

Can easily buy compromised accounts for most torrent sites on the dark web.

Your post reminded me of this article from almost a decade ago. Using James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem as a great example:

I remember playing this game quite a bit instead: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_%26_White_(video_game)

I just searched for that new Blackberry docu.

There is a lot of weird pornographic films with "Blackberry" in the name.

Always reminds me of this film. Haven't watched it in many years: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091472/

Sadly, I haven't seen a 300ZX in many years.

Remember this Superbowl commerical? https://youtu.be/uXdFKcETEPg

The story behind the EV1 is pretty interesting if you haven't read up on it. They were all crushed eventually. I think there's only a handful left. One is at a university in the Midwest. Pretty sure OSU.

I've seen a few posts on HN over the years on this exact topic. Always seems like the general consensus is people would like to get screened earlier. But their doctors won't order the test / insurance won't cover it until you're older.

Do we just lie then? Tell our doctors we have colon cancer that runs in our fam? That I saw blood in my stool last week?

Friend saw blood in her stool ONCE and her PCP ordered a colonoscopy immediately.

My grandfather actually had colon cancer and my parents keep nagging me to get screened. I tell literally all of my docs (PCP, therapist, med management doc, dentist, prob more I'm forgetting). Nobody has ever even acknowledged it. I guess I'll wait til I'm 50? 55? I don't even know.

"Taco in a bag"?

How was the restroom the next morning ;)

My local library installed Linux on all of their desktops when a refresh cycle was needed. Basically prevented them from buying all new computers at 10s of thousands of $$$.

"Team Cymru explicitly markets its product’s capability of being able to track traffic through virtual private networks, and show which server traffic is originating from. "

How does this work exactly?

Looks like it broke. Another mirror here: https://archive.ph/2016.03.16-100508/https://defacto2.net/fi...

Company I worked for from 2012-2016 still uses the OpenFire + Pidgin approach for internal IM that I set up around 2013-ish.

I couldn't pry it from their hands. All the employees loved it.

OTR did work well. But causes some small issues with other plugins. I still love how customizable everything was. Both on the server and client.
