Apparently NHK has reported that while the nuclear reactors shut down, some backup diesel generators did not cut in to keep up the coolant flow and so there has been at least one fire and one radiation leak.
I've still got one of those Gateways (Essential 800, FlexATX case) which came with ME and ran happily with it (never even needed reinstallation!) for about 9 years, before I upgraded the memory and put XP* on it because some more modern software demanded it. To be sure, it does refuse to boot sometimes when the fan grille clogs with dust, but that's easily fixed. Gateway's build quality used to be pretty good in the old cow-print days...
ME was fine as long as it was a clean install - it seems that most of the problems were from upgrades from 9x.
*to reclaim some geek cred - it now dual boots XP & Peppermint (Linux), and in any case is only used by my younger daughter now...
...back in 1980, unfortunately I was too young to realise that plays had intermissions, so left after the first half thinking it had finished. I hope he didn't notice - his performance was very good!
I missed a chance to see it again a few years ago when he toured the UK, and now I'll never see it. At least, being a historical play, I know how it turned out...
Mine hoards old sewing machines (really old, usually hand- or foot-cranked Singers). We have a deal - I'll throw out my old computers when she throws out her old sewing machines.
I suspect eventually we'll convert the attic into a shared display space for both types of obsolete tech.
If it's in LEO, there should be enough free atmospheric molecules (and hydrogen) to run an EHD-based "lifter" type of propulsion (aka Biefeld-Brown or Serrano effect), given an electrical supply (solar cells?): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionocraft
If you actually read the articles you'd see that DNA evidence helped, but was not not the sole reason for his capture. He'd still have been caught and found guilty without it.
I have to agree that Win95 is probably going to be the best GUI experience you'll get on such a machine. I ended up doing the same on a Compaq Contura 4/25 (486SX/25 with 8Mb RAM and 320Mb HD, floppy only, no networking apart from RS232 for a modem).
Initially I installed Slackware 3.9, whose critical elements were available as floppy images. I downloaded the rest via dialup modem. You might like to try Zipslack, which is available up to v11 of Slackware and installs on FAT (with the option to change to ext2 later, IIRC). I think up to at least V7 still had floppy images for booting.
I got X running, with help from http://www.linux-laptop.net/ and installed Netscape 3.0 (without WM) - it just about worked.
Alternatively, you could use an svgalib graphical browser like Arachne: http://www.glennmcc.org/aralinux/ I've used the DOS version with great success on 286 and 386 platforms, but I've not tried the Linux version.
In the end I created a set of Win95 floppies from an install CD, installed the OffByOne browser and it ran at a much more usable speed: http://offbyone.com/offbyone/
I'm no fan of Windows, but it provided the best UI on that particular laptop.
I suspect the writer is using UK English, where "to graft" means "to work hard". In US English it means quite the opposite (while still coming out ahead).

ROT13, dude! It appears to be a collection of quotes about the medical profession.
Correction - no leak, and the fire is not in the reactor building:

What's the betting that the keylogger and screengrabber only work in Windows anyway?
Of course, if you run Linux you'll be automatically assumed to be a terrorist...
That's probably quite likely, as long as there's no pubic hair displayed (Japanese taboo) they'd probably be OK with it.

Reminds me of one of the old t-shirt slogans from the 80s: "Frankie Says - Arm the Unemployed"
Sounds like you need a proper DTP package in that case: http://www.scribus.net/
That's a bit of an urban legend - immigrant names were almost never changed by immigration officials. See for example

Gary McKinnon might beg to differ...
I used to use PB for install scripts back in the mid-90s - a sort of extension of DOS batch language that produced executable code. A bit like VB for DOS, come to think of it - you might have a look at that as well: Powerbatch: ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/batchutil/pwrbt14j.zip VB for DOS: http://www.qbcafe.net/cgi-bin/downloads/download.pl?dlid=capuqWZASbvLM&compiler/qb_compiler=vbdos.zip

It's more of a "Teletubbies" theme, if you ask me...
There used to be a radio licence until the late 50s/early 60s I think (i.e. around the time a majority of homes had at least one TV).

So, no need to store fuel, either.
The risk of *that* is pretty low, unless you happen to be Arthur Dent.

And, as far as *released* games go, "The Great Space Race" made a huge loss:

Damn! Beat me to it! It's out on DVD now, at least.
I'm sure that's where 3rd Rock from the Sun got the idea for "The Big Giant Head".

There is:

It's called "A Matter of Minutes":
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Matter_of_Minutes
"Hope this helps"
My favourite such expression is "hatstand", as in, "he's completely hatstand". Also "Dagenham", as it's two stops past Barking...
