I remember seeing the Exatron stringy floppy at a show around 1981 and being blown away by how high tech and relatively affordable it was !

Theres a nice one of him on stage at the 1988 "Monsters of Rock" singing "Bomber"

In 1927 col walter snetterton disappeared while trying to cross the Andes by frog. Maybe someone tried with mice?

>> Why do leaders think lying, or obfuscating works so well? <<

because it got them where they are today ?

"The bad news is we are merging with Swindon and some of you are going to be laid off.... The good news is, I've got a promotion!..... You're all still thinking about the bad news aren't you?"

I've been using Whereby.com. It's clean, simple and 'just works'. No permissions popups or anything like that.

McAfee? It has to be a joke. Worthless bloated crapware

I've wondered about how churchill and roosevelt got to Yalta in wartime. Also the number of trips churchill made to the US risking U boats

I have often eaten eels but I have never considered how they work

at the end of that they give Kelly Johnson a flypast and he is too far gone to realize what is going on. Ben Rich says "Kelly, they are saluting you !". That part made me tear up.

At the time they built this the motor industry could not even build a car with a clutch that lasted! How on earth did they build this out of Titanium? Is feels like progress has stopped or even reversed

They had their own Unix port, called NDIX!

My old college had an ND-570 and an ND-560. I learned ADA on those.

Modern Business 101!

it's amazingly useful. I have used it since 1987, most recently today.

I am getting severely screwed by this

Just imagine if this had caught on. You'd pop down to Kwik-fit to get your control rods looked at.

I hate Hcaptcha. It keeps presenting the same challenge over and over again. Everytime I need to access a site it protects it wastes so much time.

not today but I used m4 in the late 80s to generate appropriate makefiles from a single source to allow me to compile my programs on HP-ux, Apollo Aegis, SunOS, AIX, etc. Happy days.

awk is great. Started using it in 1987, still using it in production today!

Making fun of people in AA. Beneath contempt.

I thought it was the basis of consulting companies as was told to me by an old boss: "if you know 1% more than the other guy you are the expert!"

VBA is never going anywhere. As long as Excel exists, VBA will exist

loads of people still claim to write new apps in VB6! and good luck to them !

All the US cops want is enough to arrest you. He went past her house 3 times. That's enough for most prosecutors. If you can't make bail you'll be jailed until trial - possibly as much as 3 years out. They drag the process out so you will take a plea deal just to see an end to jail time. Never, ever, talk to the cops in the US. They do not care if you are guilty or innocent. To them a good day is everyone they met that day is in jail.

This is just how they roll in the UK. Nobody has a clue what they are doing, or even cares

Yes he's not talking about Trident missiles.

I'm rooting for them too. I have a bunch of servers running various workloads. They have been great and I love their product. I really hope they are around for the long term

Only the other night a Chicago cabbie tried to get my wife to pay with a portable credit card reader not the one installed in the machine. She made a big fuss and he 'discovered' that the built in machine was working after all.
