When i was a kid, it was Russian because of the Cold War.
I must have missed that chapter - not the Cold War but the part where teaching Russian in the U.S. was ever a "thing" (my dad was taught Russian - by the NSA, on behalf of the Air Force). The rest of us? Spanish, French, Latin, German (likely in that order) with Japanese becoming popular in the late 80's and Chinese following a decade after.
Idea: require politicians to purchase insurance (covering completion of said project within budget) with their own salaries; reimburse politicians after completion...
You should never allow another author to play in your universe
Yeah, no shit... those Rendezvous with Rama books weren't bad - that pederast knew how to write - but they lost their appeal turned after another took over.
Then there was the case of the duplicated Clive Cussler novel: I suspect the author of having succumbed to serious senility; he "co-wrote" a book with someone and apparently didn't realize they used the exact same premise and plotline from one of Cussler's earlier novels... I almost threw up in disgust.

You were very much an outlier.
In 1993? Try 4MB.
That's poor reasoning.
It was a simple if/then statement with no insinuation whatsoever; you were just waiting for something to bitch about.
...at least make it a fun one
So your idea of "fun" involves a unicorn. Alrighty, then...

Comprehend much?
Wait until they come up with Artificial Stupidity.
So the Cubans have something our spooks don't know about.

Not Goldman Sachs execs...
Well maybe you could use the GPU heat to drive a Sterling Engine, to turn a compressor, for some of that old fashion AC?
Not until you can stand on a sailboat and get it to move by blowing at the sail...
Ya know why the English don't build computers?
