    "you needed Winsock and win32s"

    Yep that was it and what I meant by TCP/IP stack in my posts.

    Yes. The TCP/IP stack was added in the Windows for Workgroups multimedia extensions available as an additional install on the drivers disk for a CD drive (if I recall correctly). I vividly remember installing it on a Win 3.1 laptop and dialing-up with a 14.4 modem. Changed my life.

    That's another thing they invented: users not giving a shit about licenses.

    For all intents and purposes Mosaic DID invent the web as the world knows it today. Links, images and text on a single page = Mosaic.

    Mosaic installed and ran great under Win 3.11.

    Banting made a fortune off of that invention. Thank you for pointing that out.

    Ironically enough the countries on the list don't innovate anything, they just steal other's work. Developing drugs costs money. None of the breakthoughs would exists without a profit motive.

  8. Re:Right wing bias in media on A Well-Known Expert On Student Loans Is Not Real (chronicle.com) · · Score: 0

    While you can. Youtube actively censors anything that isn't an "arm if the Democratic Party's left wing".

  9. How much space does Registry Editor take? Good lord.

  10. Everyone already knew Trump was a vulgar clown. We voted for him anyway as a rejection of the establishment. Clinton, the DNC and RNC are all desperate to maintain that establishment and will do/say anything to preserve it.

  11. Nothing from the Cohen raid will be admissable in court. It's all political theater.

  12. "The DNC did the same thing after Watergate. That was a pretty successful lawsuit, and they gained a lot from it. My guess is that they're seeing echos of Watergate here, and playing the same hand that was successful the last time this sort of thing happened."

    Because Nixon was actually responsible for breaking into their headquarters, placing them under surveillance and causing actual provable damages.

    This lawsuit is nothing but a transparent political stunt because the Mueller investigation has now been shown to be a farce (at best) or attempted coup (at worst).

  13. Not only that but Clinton's tactics of destroying anyone who tries to get in her way will not be helpful to the eventual nominee. Obama's birth certificate controversy? That was first started by Clinton. Bernie being railroaded? Yeah, that was Clinton thoroughly corrupting the DNC for her coronation.

  14. No, it's the same "investigation" which has no morphed into a full-blown witch-hunt determined to overthrow an elected President by any means necessary. Now it turns out there was never any basis for a Mueller in the first place.

    Yes, Trump is a circus clown.

    But that circus clown has inadvertently ripped the mask off the thoroughly corrupt establishment. We should all be thanking him for exposing them for what they are.

  15. Clinton is running again, that should be obvious to all now. This is the funniest thing I've seen in a long, LONG time!

  16. Except you can't order a gun online and have it shipped to you. Why tell such outright lies?

  17. No, guns are designed to expel a projectile with velocity. They are no more designed to kill people than your keyboard is.

  18. They aren't even hiding it any more.

  19. A car can kill more people than a gun can. Faster too.

  20. An inanimate object didn't kill those people, a crazy person did. If guns didn't exist she would have used something else. That's what crazy people do.

    But please, keep blaming the inanimate object.

  21. So does Slashdot. on Reddit Continues To Protect Racist Language In Favor of Free Speech (digitaltrends.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    So what? Free speech is preferable to censorship.

  22. If presented with the same choice tomorrow between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump do you think any Trump voters would be voting for Hillary? That's all I'm saying.

  23. Except for the 63 million who voted for him apparently. Their deplorables though so must not register in your worldview.

    P.S. this is how you got Trump.

    Failed to denounce Nazis? Are you insane? Sorta like "When did you stop beating your wife farble?"

  25. Oh good grief. Trump won the nomination as a rejection of the fake Republicans he was running against and then the same people voted for him over Hillary Clinton. NOBODY was swayed by a damned Facebook ad. That's just delusional.
