Don't miss The Unix Game (linked halfway down on the page)!

Another addition would be Rudy Rucker's Ware Tetralogy.

For me here in Sweden, it was a Spectravideo 728. Truly the reason I got into computers. It never was a big platform here so never saw many big games. And a couple of years later I switched to an Amiga.

There are quite a few emulators available:

- fMSX is multiplatform: https://fms.komkon.org/fMSX/

- RuMSX: http://www.lexlechz.at/en/software/RuMSX.html

It's been a few years since I used any of them so can't vouch for quality.

And here is an image of what it looked like before: https://www.alamy.com/stock-photo-genoa-liguria-polcevera-mo...

The "NASA technician" in the second to last image appears to be airbrushing a large scale version, does anyone know if there are more pictures of this somewhere?

Exactly. Even the lowest offer is more than twice my pay, after 10+ years of experience in Sweden.

Interesting! I've been using Launchy for years, mostly out of old habit. I'll certainly try Wox!

I use a nice little utility called Launchy[0]. It is invoked by Alt-Space (or whatever shortcut you like), is lightning fast and finds the right application 99% of the time. Based on your problems, I think it could be worth checking out.

I'll just quote Wikipedia:

"The title refers to the distance traveled while under the sea and not to a depth, as 20,000 leagues is over six times the diameter, and nearly twice the circumference of the Earth.[2] The greatest depth mentioned in the book is four leagues. The book uses metric leagues, which are four kilometres each"

Nice. Just a heads-up, Bandsinstown[0] are probably not going to like your logo.

That "Walking Truck" is very similar to Big Dog, at least in appearance.

Take a look at hitta.se or eniro.se

Basically, an online phonebook, with reverse lookup, addresses, birthdays, neighborhood data, ...

Sweden, I assume. The personnummer (personal number) consists of the following:

- The birth date, e.g. 640823 (YYMMDD)

- The birth number, three digits. Last digit is odd for men and even for women.

- A check digit, calculated by the Luhn algorithm.

A full example: 640823-3234 -- a male born on August 23, 1964.

"He had a computer that knew all the names of all the companies, and another one that checked if the made-up word meant "dickhead" or something in Chinese or Swedish."

I use Truecaller[1], so far it has worked great. They crowdsource their blocklist so almost all telemarketers are marked as SPAM on their first call. You can then choose to proceed and take the call or add it to your blocklist.

According to [1], half a litre of vodka is ~$2.70. $25 would get you approx. 4.6 litres of vodka.

At https://www.haskell.org/, you can try Haskell in the browser. You can also find binary distributions here.

Also, this book is supposed to be a good intro to Haskell: http://learnyouahaskell.com/

So, is this automated in some way or is it done by hand?

The Tesla is definitely a luxury item here in Sweden. I drive a Renault diesel and I could buy three of those for the price of a Tesla (yeah, I know, apples/oranges...) TCO for a Tesla will (sadly) be a lot higher than for a fossil fuel car, simply because of the high purchase price.

How does this relate to what the team at hypothes.is (http://hypothes.is/) are trying to achieve?

Textus are targeting text, hypothes.is are "building an open platform for the collaborative evaluation of knowledge" -- i.e. annotating the web.

It's available on Scribd: http://www.scribd.com/doc/111696461/How-To-Solve-It-By-Compu...

Just to spare someone else from googling it:

MVNO = Mobile Virtual Network Operator.

That was my first thought as well. However, with them going after single words like "edge" and "thrust", I believe this is not possible.

From a user perspective, it makes sense to upload the data so that you're not constrained to your phone for viewing your info. And Microsoft gets a good use case for Azure - I imagine they might use this in promoting Azure services.

I would recommend Cryptonomicon.

About the photo: I think it looks fairly representative of a colorized photo of that time. Note that this is not a photoshop job - it was colorized in 1920, probably by the photographer.

The older you get, the less you are concerned with age, and more with actual competence.
