OMG! Sage! The last I used that was on a SWTPC 6809 running Uniflex! (to give the pups an idea, 1MHz, 8 bit, 256k RAM. And it still ran faster than some '386 SCO boxes!)
I know that a computer could do better VOTING for traffic solutions than Seattle does. Can we say Monorail, and Viaduct? Maybe New Evergreen Point Floating Bridge?
If you have 150 domains with Godaddy then you should look at BlueRazor.com, the wholesale side of GoDaddy. I signed up for it and have saved a boat-load with my 30 odd domains. Same interfaces and customer support (even the phone number.)
Yeah, much more peaceful in the head. Now there are advertisements that I do search out, called catalogs. I couldn't live without my ham radio catalogs. The other nice thing is lack of brainspace devoted to celebrities. When I'm at the grocery checkout line I have no clue whom those people on the 'entertainment' rags are. And I like it that way!
For four years I've been without cable or antenna. I don't miss it at all. The only problem is that, between no tv and adblockers on firefox, I don't know what I'm suppose to buy next! Now I wonder how I would get any reading done if I did have to watch tv. The only reason I had cable before that was the Mariners (US Baseball team) were doing good. THAT hasn't been a problem lately.
I kind of feel for the advertisers that are trying to reach me. I'm hard to get. I'm surprised when new models of cars show up on the road. About the only place an advertiser can reach me now is by magazine or very selective AM broadcast. So, if you want me, you'll have to pony up for and ad in the New Yorker or on the Ed Schultz show. (or see if Tor or Del Rey will put ads in their SF novels!)
A Correctional Emergency Response Team (CERT), or Special Emergency Response Team for Correction is a team of highly trained correction officers in the United States tasked with responding to incidents,riots,cell extractions or disturbances in prisons, possibly involving uncooperative or violent inmates. CERT team members are required to be contactable and available to respond at all times. CERT is founded upon a team concept and is made up of highly motivated and experienced Correction Officers.
Which from personal experience are not that highly trained. I had a job, as a federal inmate, of picking up the unspent rounds that they dropped at the firing range (and not talking about it.)
(since you all are wondering, my crime was 18USC1029c, (phracking))
https://www.citizencorps.gov/cert/about.shtm The Community Emergency Response Team concept was developed and implemented by the Los Angeles City Fire Department (LAFD) in 1985.
Wikipedia: CERT as in CERT/CC, formerly an acronym for Computer Emergency Response Team Coordination Center but CERT is no longer an acronym[1] and is known as simply "CERT". The CERT Coordination Center was created by DARPA in November 1988 after the Morris worm struck.
And people wonder why I prefer BSD to Linux. Can we force Bandman to use an AIM-65 with a one-line 20-char LED screen? (yes, it have an editor, and yes, it was hell!)
But then I've been around 46 years now. In another 20 years you'll find it hard to keep up with your chosen field, not to mention all the new interests that you've acquired. Hell, even old-fart hobbies like ham radio have rapid innovations.
And the -1 rating for the parent post shows the problems with slashdot. I don't think it's a troll, it seems more like a well reasoned rant. And a well reasoned rant in a public forum is one of the joys of life. Let us hope that the modder gets his in meta-mod.

I love articles like this where all the (low numbered) old dogs come out to play with the pups.
No, use an software emulator package. Unless you really want to know how the computer works, then get out your wirewrap kit and a logic probe.
Ever heard of a Grateful Dead show? The Internet was developed to distribute GD set-lists and show recordings.

If it cuts down the spam....
Have you ever read liquor control laws? Booze is very regulated. Try for a better analogy, please.

Amen! I agree, and I've been reading slashdot for a while.
Or were you talking about:

CERT is already an acronym. Pick a different one.

No, you go find another (non)acronym.
Windows keeps the hardware clock on local time.
Local Redmond, WA time, that is.
Looks like what happens when people that grew up on Windows try to figure out unix.

In other news, gopherd......
Judging by your UID, I will assume you are new here.
shhh! Now everyone will want it!
Have you never owned a Pinto?
Talking with my friends in British Columbia they would rather not mention Ontario either.
"As a result our innovation stagnates."
I about spit out my tea when I read that!

It's actually handy if you are a subscriber. I would hate to have to enter my usr/passwd every Wednesday just to get my Keefer fix.
