Okay.

Title has a mistake: it should be “POSIX AWK”, in all caps.

Since Lucas added back the Jabba scene that they couldn't complete for the original release, he should have deleted the Greedo scene entirely, since it was only filmed as a replacement. There doesn't need to be two scenes that explains that Han needs lots of money fast.

The title is misspelled, should be “AM”, not “Am”.

Title is misspelled, it's “no one” in the article.

And the TRS-80 before that.

> their wives called them too often for annoying requests, like stopping to get milk on the way home.

Wouldn't it be more annoying to get home, and then have to go out again to get the milk? What they probably meant was that they didn't ever want to go to the store themselves and wanted their spouse to do it.

In the 1970's and '80's, Pascal actually was commonly used for real work.

Actual title of the article is “Ship that caused bridge collapse had apparent electrical issues while still docked, AP source says”.

Mostly, NPR isn't publicly funded. It gets about 1% of its funding from the federal government. Public radio stations that carry NPR shows get more, but it's only about 17% from federal, state, and local governments. Some of them are also funded by universities, some of which are public.

Many computers in the late 1980's came with hard disks, but the cheapest ones did not.

Yes, but where are they going to get more blank disks? No one makes them anymore, they'll have to search for new old stock.

Showing the hair in an identification photo isn't that useful anyway, because one's hairstyle can be easily changed.

You don't even have to repeat the diagonal argument. There's a one-to-one correspondence between subsets of the natural numbers and sequences of elements from {0,1}. The i-th element is 1 if i is in the set, otherwise it's zero.

This is sometimes required to break dependency cycles. Also, you can use this to rearrange declarations in the same file.

Title is misspelled, should be “doesn't”.

I'm in the US. Since 2000, I've only had my card used in an imprinter once. (And I'm not sure if it ever happened in the 1990's either.) I remember who did it, it was the Days Inn on the north side of Disneyland.

> This post originally appeared in 2011.

Title needs (2011).

No, you shouldn't run most things on the main thread. Don't access files, and don't do lengthy calculations.

No, it's one field per 1/60 seconds, giving 30 frames per second.

Many, many restaurants have had lunch specials for a long time.

*Monty Hall

Yes, the actual show was mentioned in the article.

Also, Let's Make a Deal has been revived and canceled many times, and has been on the air since 2009.

For properties, not for methods.

No, their stock symbol is just “T”.

It looks like the article also sometimes misspells it.

The title is misspelled. The company's name is “AT&T”.

From the sheriff department's report:

> Deputy Hernandez said he had two combat rotations to Afghanistan, but noted as an officer, he was not in direct combat.

Though maybe something else happened to him in the service.

That's similar to a plot point in the movie Cloud Atlas, where some in the oil industry try to sabotage a nuclear plant.

Title is misspelled, should be “moderation”.
