Vending machines? You’re going to make the poor little tots pay for their own machine guns? :)

Super genius!

You’ve stumbled into a stance by pro-2A folks: The government should not have a monopoly on violence.

I was just hoping to get a new page with a refresh.

It looks pretty bad but I have a hunch that we don’t know the whole truth.

You are describing CraigsList. No ads, no salesmen, just a small staff.

Sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice.

Set up a couple of ip phones to connect to the other every off-hook, no dialing. Think Batman Batphone!

There goes my part time job.

It’s not an article about vulnerable boot loaders. It’s an ad for their AI offering. That they turned their AI loose on some boot loaders is not material to the intended affect of the ad.

It’s unthinkable that RedHat killed CentOS without the OK from IBM.

Anybody with interest in the video chip, the TMS9918A, might like the Pico 9918 project, a drop-in replacement that uses a Raspberry Pi Pico.

Reddit only exists because of Digg 4.0. Let them find out the hard way.

Recipes, that is, lists of ingredients and preparation instructions, are specifically uncopyrightable. Perhaps that’s why they used it as an example.

This is evil. I love it.

I once pranked my boss by renaming the internal DOS command “dir” to “duh” on his PC. I loved watching him type in “dir” and getting “Bad Command or Filename”.

Likely selling the whole kit. Dude is 75. Anything he gets will be a life sentence.

It lost the bite that bit the hands that feed IT. The Buzzard is bummed.

Since Kurtz was the CTO of McAfee when they did the same back in 2010, we now have two points in time. Those two points define what I propose we call the Kurtz Line.

Embrace, extend, extinguish. IBM invented vendor lock-in. Microsoft perfected it.

No. The remedy Congress has is impeachment, not “change the Constitution”. Even if Congress could easily change the Constitution (they can’t), it would not apply to actions taken previous to the change.

Don’t hit me with those negative waves so early in the morning!

He’s just waiting for a refresh.

Sure but dictating what units to use is a bit overboard. A pound should be a pound and a kilo a kilo but what units I use in commerce is my business, not the state’s.

Analog is tough enough. This is RF, even more difficult!

A witch! A witch! We’ve found a witch! May we burn her?

It can be misused as a filesystem. S3 wants objects? Here are some 512 or 4096 byte objects called clusters…

What? No, you can store 52! unique states with a pack of playing cards. Just map each state to a data set. /j

So a modern Copy II PC Option Board.

I had a copy of MS OS/2! It was a part of their email gateway product as it ran on OS/2 at the time. I got a NFR copy when my company was a partner I could get MS software for cheap.

My old and unreliable memory thinks that TOS (the ST DOS) was modeled after DOS as far as interrupt calls and whatnot to make it easier for devs. I know the disk format was the same, though DOS wouldn’t read the ST disk unless it had a DOS boot sector on it. ST didn’t care.
