    He's confusing it with reverse Polish notation. I remember living through that back in the 80s when I was programming FORTH on a 6502.

    Air time cost a lot more back in the AMP days. I'm not sure that the ROI is there for phone cloning today.

    I'm sorry, I haven't seen those ExpertSexChange links that include a couple of search terms but either have nothing to do with the search that you talk about. Are you sure it's not something to do with your search terms?

    No, he said a few shots, not the whole bottle. If you have the bottle already in the cooler, and not had just bought it, then you're not quite an alkie yet.

  11. Re:Yawn. on Boeing's 787 Dreamliner Takes Flight · · Score: 1

    It came over my house on Tulalip Bay at, I'm guessing, about 700'. What an elegant craft!

    I get the Dreamlifter flying over my place every few days so you have to figure that they are quite busy building 787s. The Dreamlifter is a really impressive sight at under 1000'. I use to work down in Muk and would see them everyday, lined up all pretty by the Boeing Freeway.

  12. Re:I'd much rather... on "Loud Commercial" Legislation Proposed In US Congress · · Score: 1

    If you were in broadcast then you've probably seen a Dorrough Loudness meter. If you don't have one of those at the end of your audio chain then you just don't care.

    Of course, be a radio broadcasting type (ok, year, ok decades ago) I was never impressed with how a tv station ran their audio.

  17. Re:Simple! on What Do You Do When Printers Cost Less Than Ink? · · Score: 1

    That's exactly how our computer shop would "repair" Commodore 64s with power supply problems back in the '80s. And we were an auth'd reseller. But when Toys-r-us started selling them... well.

    Hate to let the steam out of your engine, but your e-mailbox does not exist as a physical entity. It's just a collection of magnetic states in a virtual environment (kind of like your bank account.) I'm not sure what this thing is you actually think you own.
