3. "Feedback loop" (you can hear yourself talk in your earpiece). This helps regulate your volume, which is why people tend to talk louder into cellphones (they don't get that feedback).
Second this. Got one at Costco on an impulse and have been very impressed what the little $100 box does. Stick a USB hard drive on it and it even shares that out via SMB. Cool box.
DOS never had an ifconfig, ipconfig, or any network interface command. It was only through an add on or a TSR program that it could talk over a network. The closest thing DOS had was the LapLink type commands added on very late to bring up a point to point network with another host via a serial or printer port.
There were programs such as MS Network Client that would run in conjunction with DOS but DOS itself never understood networks.
Living in Western Washington State where the majority are Democrats I find that the few Republicans that do get elected turn out to be fairly decent people and capable administrators. Some I've voted for over and over becasue they actually know how to do the job.
I'm sure that the opposite holds true in red states.
I hate it when good people get voted out just because of party fervor. My criteria for a candidate is the ability to think independently and do what is right for his or her constituents as opposed to the greater transient aims of the party.
I remember SWTPC 6800s running entire companies with Uniflex. Multiple terminals and everything.
Didn't the 68hc11 have and extra page of op codes? I got to know the old 6805 series before moving over to the Rockwell chips. We built a telco controller board based closely (ok, it ran BASIC) on the VIC-20. Put in a 65C02P4 and ran it at 4MHz. On the development board I put in a clutch (HALT) and a gear shift (divide-by-4 7474 setup) so that I could shift it down to a speed where the 1541 drives would talk.
The C64 actually had 64KB of DRAM and then two ROMS paged in via the I/O lines at 0x000 on the 6510. If I recall correctly the BASIC ROM was at the top starting at 0xC000 and the character ROM was just below that. In one program I wrote I dropped down to machine code to swap out the BASIC ROM and stash an array in the RAM underneath. Other trick were to write the BASIC ROM to RAM and then page it in so you could modify it (I think sysres did this.) Another trick was to do the same with the char ROM and flip the bytes causing all the letters to be upside down.
The Model T was a rear-wheel drive vehicle. Its transmission was a planetary gear type billed as "three speed". In today's terms it would be considered a two speed, because one of the three speeds was actually reverse.
The Model T's transmission was controlled with three foot pedals and a lever that was mounted to the road side of the driver's seat. The throttle was controlled with a lever on the steering wheel. The left pedal was used to engage the gear. With the handbrake in either the mid position or fully forward and the pedal pressed and held forward the car entered low gear. When held in an intermediate position the car was in neutral, a state that could also be achieved by pulling the floor-mounted lever to an upright position. If the lever was pushed forward and the driver took his foot off the left pedal, the Model T entered high gear, but only when the handbrake lever was fully forward. The car could thus cruise without the driver having to press any of the pedals. There was no separate clutch pedal.
The middle pedal was used to engage reverse gear, and the right pedal operated the engine brake. The floor lever also controlled the parking brake, which was activated by pulling the lever all the way back. This doubled as an emergency brake.
You're an old hacker and may relate to this. I found free on craigslist a hand built (hand wrapped) Z80 CP/M box with dual 8" drives and a case of diskettes. No instructions or schematics. This winter I'm going to dig into it with my scope and logic probe and see if I can get the old baby working again. I was amazed that I was still able to just look at what components were on the boards and get a fairly clear idea of how it was put together. I figure the hard part will be following the address lines and seeing where the memory and I/O is at. I did see a few 74LS138s on board so I guess that is where I'll start. Now to pull the old DOS box out of the shed with the ISA EPROM burner and see what's there. From what I understand the boot ROM was home brewed. This should be very interesting.
That's the price range I'm seeing for wood. Got a great deal this year of 10 cords of split & delivered maple for $160/cord. I think that the 10 cords will last for the winter if it doesn't have too long of a cold spell. I'm up in Western Washington State.
The best investment we made to this 40 year old house was to replace all the windows with modern ones.

That was mfh (56).

The term you are looking for is sidetone.

Although I haven't done it, it seems to be hackable.

Some strange birther-blather there. So how was Washington DC this weekend? Did Glenn smile upon you?

They need to know dos [sic] commands.

The zeppelin is now in view, and you can ride in it.
I understand the rez part as I'm living on the Tulalip Tribes land. The last time I lived in PDX Bud Clark was mayor.
It's still open? I haven't been up for over a decade.
OMG! I friended a Republican?

Thanks for the article. Very thought provoking reading.
Finally. A decent interface for C&C.
Turns out the hydrogen refueling facility was adjacent to an oxygen storage facility.
and then got hit by lightning. Fortunately they did have flood insurance.
and immigrants are the only people working.
I was lucky enough to have a Model-T transmission with a cut open casing to play with in a mechanical engineering lab at University.
And good job bringing this sub-thread back to topic ;)

I still keep a 286 around for programming my old Syntor X9000 radio. Sometimes a 386sx will work, but it always runs with the old Leading Edge.
The model-T was even stranger: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_T

Thanks! I was trying to remember the name of that story.
We don't go around calling the English that people from Boston speak as "Bostonese", do we?
No, we call them the Kennedy's.
It was always the 'skeeters, not the moose, that got to me in AK.
