These twin arrangements look really interesting. Puch experimented with pairing up pistons inside a shared combustion chamber with a Y-shaped conrod: https://engineerine.com/the-forgotten-twingle-engine/

Were the motorbikes bad?

"Welcome to Windows 98" with the church bell and sick bass intro can never be beaten. It's cut short unfortunately.

They wouldn't appear in weights but could be added to the context. My conversations regularly go "regarding your Java problem"... which was a separate item in the history from earlier. As long as I only see these (and nobody else sees mine), it can be helpful.

You never used a download manager like DownThemAll or GetBot back in the day?

As far as fragmentation goes, I think both Firefox and Chrome derivatives figure out the final file size in advance, pre-allocate a temporary file that long and put data in it as it arrives. Completing the download is a rename operation or a no-op.

1 milli-Paul of flux. (Or am I mixing things up with Paul Daniels of boardview software fame?)

If the sharp end chips, you can't get close enough to the things you want to clip.

"Jein" is valid in German, that I know: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jein

shan't vs. oughtn't! Both are equally horrendous.

The User's Guide had a single bitmap mode example, but POKEs needed for hardware sprites and sound were adequately covered. Joystick polling in BASIC is a fool's errand however.

Optane? (Too soon?)

It's a decorated envelope, you write the destination on a clean sheet of paper then wax seal it with the company-issued signet ring.

1897 seems like an important year.

EA has also called its games platform Origin until last year when it was shuttered.

I can't check the commit history of some OSS projects without hitting a rate limit if I'm not signed in. My request rate is one request per (arbitrary time interval) at that point.

Exactly!

The one I've read is that Tualatin comes from "too late in" i.e. a model introduced too late in the process/architecture lifecycle to be profitable.

Lactic acid?

What is the prohibiting factor to getting these?

Involuntary reflex reply: ship an SQLite database as your data file?
