My Dell Dimension P90 is about 20 years old and looks like new. Must mean that a Pentium box running Windows 98 is shit tons better than your Macbook Pro. Oh hey, my TRS-1000 looks pretty new too...
I'm trying to find DOS 3.3 on a 5.25" floppy somewhere. Have an old Tandy that has a slightly DOS install on its ancient hard disk that I'm looking to repair. Once I get it running, I plan on keeping it in my office for when people come whining about wanting a new PC.
I think they mean flying insects carry diseases that kill thousands or millions of people. Not necessarily the insects directly kill people like a bad SyFymovie.
In your case, they're just killing anything with wings. The summary makes it pretty clear that the laser is only used to cast a shadow to identify what flying nuisance machine it is. It's the difference shooting everything in sight and only shooting hippies/commies/terrorists/bad guy of the day.
The way I understood his post is that we shouldn't abandon Metro because it serves a purpose on RT, regardless of whether or not it belongs on other platforms. I don't think RT needs to go away so much as it needs a name that doesn't use "Windows"
Choice can be a good thing. Besides, you never know when he might have a lady friend over who's just dying to see the Director's Cut of Midgets Take Manhattan or Dwarfs Do Debbie Doing Dallas.
CD-R/DVD-R has a shelf life of about 5 to 10 years. Beyond that, your data will probably still be readable but it's going to become hit-or-miss. Factory-stamped DVDs do have a much longer shelf life, but that's not really relevant here. Hard drives and magnetic tape should retain data reliably for 10 to 20 years, making them a better option.
*facepalm* Yes, that would be the word I was looking for. They had me answering the Helpdesk phone today, so my brain is a little fried from too much user interaction.
I'm not saying Open Source is absolutely trustworthy, but I tend to trust it more than closed source - at least for large projects with a lot of people looking at it.
I found switching large photographs on my site from png to jpeg led to a noticeable loadtime increase. It's not a lot, but it is noticeable. However, I'm sticking to PNG for any non-photographic images.
The US also claims the right to prosecute its citizens for crimes committed in other countries... even if it wasn't a crime in the country it was committed.

I have two Tandy 1000's. One has dual 5.25" floppies, the other has one 5.25" floppy and DOS on the ROM. It's the latter that I'm looking to repair.

To the best of my knowledge, the last version of Windows to actually be based on DOS was Windows ME. 2000, XP and later followed the NT base.

That's not at all what they're doing.

No, he actually built a critic to make critiques.
And What If? follows Mythbusters in the sense that once the question is answered, he keeps pushing until something blows up.
Well, of course reindeer are especially scared of power lines. They're a hazard for most low-flying objects.
Source? Everything I've seen lumps DVD-Rs and CD-Rs together in terms of longevity.

The world prefers its crude shaken, not stirred.
I've found that after a bit of wine, I can't use any software. Same thing with whiskey.
Or Google's buses are really snarling traffic

I don't trust anonymous comments on Slashdot. Just look at all the nonsense (hosts files for one) that's based in this thread alone.
I'd trust code I can see from a place I don't trust more than I'd trust code I can't see from a place I like.
This could quite possibly qualify as "civil disobedience", which has a long history in the US.
If contributing to open source projects is wrong, then I don't want anybody to be right.

That seems like the sort of thing that should have gone in the summary, because it's a vital piece of information for having the summary make sense.

I think Ireland would have something to say about being called a territory of the UK.
