Milt Windler, RIP, you are a Hero.

Only through bundling the OEM tax and having a monopoly.

McDonald's is spending $8 billion to figure out why they can't sell enough food. Maybe lower prices instead of spending $8 billion?

Looks good, reminds me of the 1990s.

I thought Disney was going to buy out WB? I guess Paramount made a higher bid?

You ought to see the Saudi Kingdom Holding owning Apple, Disney, etc. https://kingdom.com.sa/homepage

I drained my wallet on my 401K, and I lost $150,000 during the dot-com bust.

I think it is sarcasm.

Stupid, isn't it? Like claiming a Chinese psyop has fooled the anti-Data Center people.

That is why so many people stuck with Windows 2000 Pro because it didn't have activation.

In the USA, we do that as well. 1-person small businesses, I made two of them.

If we don't build superintelligent AI, the Chinese, etc will build it without us.

https://www.openpgp.org/ I use PGP to communicate with my business partners using Thunderbird and Evolution. What would make it safe to use if it were modified?

Good story.

It is easier to run them in DOSBOX-X than vibe code them.

Everything has a subscription now. It used to be that you subscribed to Cable and picked a bundle of channels. Now the major streaming services raise prices unless you wait for black friday to subscribe at a discount. Even TNA has its own subscription service for Professional Wrestling, and for WWE you need Netflix, Peacock, ESPN, and the USA Network carries SmackDown. AEW is on TBS, and its pay-per-view is on HBOMax. I liked it when we just had Cable and picked the channels we wanted to watch.

Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11; the Afghanistan war gave control back to the Taliban. SEAL Team 6 got Bin Laden, but what about the other terrorists like him out there?

>Before later joining Apple as a senior engineer in the early 2000s, Brent claimed that, “the president of the company wrote himself a big cheque from the payroll account and took off for South America.” His claim is quoted as fact all over forums and blogs that are still live today, despite the final four words of his story: “according to legend, anyhow.”

Seems legit.

A friend of mine in 1984 bought an Apple //c instead of a Commodore 64 and Spartan, because the Spartan had compatibility problems with Apple ][+ software. Also you needed to mod the 1541 drive with the DOS card and press F6 to switch between Apple and Commodore modes. A good way to mess up disks.

Give me an email, and I'll invite you.

In 1986, I purchased a copy of Turbo Pascal 3.0 for $35 at the university bookstore. It was the cat's pajamas.

Thank you; it looks good so far.

Intel Macs that are no longer supported can run Linux instead.

So much for being anonymous and reading old.reddit.com?

LibreOffice is good for the home user, hobbyist, and student, but lacks the advanced accounting functions of Excel.

A C&D took down Nitter and XCancel because they used X data without the advertising, etc. I still call X Twitter.

I remember writing code in a paper notebook in 1986 and then having columns for each variable and simulating the computer processing the language. It can be done, but it is much harder than using a computer.
