You might want to look up Edwin de Castro, and Ken Olsen.
I personally, look up to both of them.
Space (specifically the Apollo program) was responsible for a purchasing program that drove logic ICs down to consumer level pricing - without which PCs would not have reached the volume that drove the prices far lower.
Analog ICs would not have got far without the logic ones, because production tolerances were so loose that the concept of "it works or it does not" was critical to volume production of ICs in the early days. (Yield was under 3% for the 7400 family (first TTL logic ICs)).
You want to narrow down the De Castro reference a little? I know of Olsen already, but I am sure the first couple pages of Google were NOT what you meant for De Castro.
Don't get me started on stacker, which was eventually bought by MS and incorporated into DOS (6.20?). It was brilliant for the time and at the same time dangerous. Many lost their data to it. The least hardware or disk corruption and you were toasted.

I concur, especially as the Bandicam watermark shows it is an unregistered copy of the recorder software, and I suspect using such would mean bad actionable things for CBC News.
Heinlein is just one of those authors that doesn't translate well to the visual medium, I think. That being said, I was seriously impressed with how Predestination turned out, all things being equal.
And a Bipra brand rig worked a treat lately, when I decided to redo the Windows and install Linux on my netbook. I used the DVD drive out of a dead machine.
I dare you to demonstrate how that outdated piece of garbage is better than my Quantum Entanglement Cables, specifically designed to work on Quantum Computer Music NAS Systems. Imagine it, the sound gets distortionless, since the information travels through just TWO electrons* through the whole length of the cable!!!
*Note: even when the information uses just two quantum-entangled electrons, it also visits all of its quantum states, so you might end up listening to Abba when you selected Led Zeppelin...
Or, for that matter, an alternative universe's Abba covering Led Zeppelin...
I want a wall that removes cool, wet air from the room and replaces it with dry, warm air so that I can dry laundry indoors in winter without covering my house in condensation and mold.
That's called a dehumifier and there are many people that sell them at a reasonable price. I bought an "ebac" brand one since it's the brand favoured by tradespeople for things like drying out water damage and drying plaster more quicky. It works great.
They are cheap to buy, but, as I discovered when I had my house, expensive as hell to run.
Heh. I used to tether my Visor Platinum to my old Samsung Sprint phone. Yeah, it was only about like a 14.4 modem, but I had unlimited data and it was a MOBILE 14.4, man! Of course, this was sometime around 2000 or so, if I remember right...
Honestly, I don't buy into the whole non-GPL can't link GPL argument in the first place.
Suppose I were to tell you to grab your copy of the 3rd paperback printing of Game of Thrones and look at the second sentence on page 320. Does posting that sentence make this post a violation of GRRM's copyright? Of course not - I didn't copy anything in his book - simply mentioning that it exists and that it contains a page 320 in no way makes this post a derivative work.
I believe a book over 300 pages is a poorly designed book and also breaks the reader guidelines. As such, none of my GRRM books have any pages over 300.
Well, I have at least two games in my Steam collection that do not work. One, I was told by the company it wouldn't work ever with my config, and the other...Well, I am tired of pawing through forums trying all kinds of things. And, we are not even going to mention getting ripped off for my Minerva's Den DLC, which I place firmly in the split camp of Steam/2K Games/Microsoft.

And, of course, that assumes the cab actually arrives in a timely fashion.
And it's not like the people that finished DNF, Gearbox, have the best track record.
One had to wonder how they will deal with the KMS replacement tools out there now.
So Quora is a casual user then?
She adds a degree of watchability to most everything she is in.

Hell, the return of chain shot...
Heh. This thread made me fire up Plague Inc. I always start in Madagascar.
Although, if he should do RAR, be sure to use the optional solid compression and error recovery.

The parallel port laplink cables also work. With the parallel ports set to ecp mode it's a lot faster than serial.
I remember getting a session of Unreal Tournament going on a turbo parallel cable, back before I got to spend any money on real networking....

Well, as soon as we get some decent results on the World Community Grid (http://worldcommunitygrid.org) we can have something to print...
I have the goatee already...

Bravo, old son, bravo. I wish I had mod points...
But I didn't commit the crime, xxxIrOnHaCkErOnExxx did! He needs to do the time. Alternately - My avatar did it!
I did NOT click the box that says I agree to the EULA...

A little more detail please? That's the first I have heard of such a thing.
