There were actually some consumer devices made by Atari that you could buy back then. I think they called it Atari Lab or something. They have a couple of devices. One was a biofeedback device and another was a thermometer.
Once I came home in the evening and got a message on the answering machine to call my card company asap because of possible fraudulent charges. I soon enough called the number they gave me and identified my card number and password. Then I told them about my message and they started looking it up on the computer. After 30 seconds the guy says that the compter is slow and other excuses. After another 30 seconds he apologizes and suggests I call back later since the computer seems down. So I put down the phone and then it suddenly hits me that I have no idea way to verify that the other side was the credit card company. It didn't feel right that a major financial company would have computer problems like this. So now I immediately called back the number on the back of my card and got through okay. They did verify that I had fraudulent charges and canceled my number. I asked them about the other number but they were not too concerned and guessed it might be an internal fraud line number.
In conclusion I still don't know if the original number was real or not.It could have been the card thieves trying to trick me. After getting the new card, I checked my credit report an month later to verify nothing new had been opened. The lesson I learned is to never use a number you cannot authenticate when doing sensitive stuff like this.
The only problem is that when they name it the Sagan telescope, Sagan will roll over in his grave and sue them. They will promptly have to rename it "butthead astromoner."

Part of the problem with Java was the hype that it was the ultimate computer language which could replace everything. We know that Java is faster than Python and Perl for example. But these two languages never claimed they were the fastest. Java made the claim that it could replace C and C++ so it better live up to the performance of C and C++.
Quite simply, JBoss is a Java application suite that allows for vertical integration of enterprise databases using back-end query protocols thus providing for scalability and reliability within the IT infrastructure. Ah fuck-it I am too lazy to generate this meaningless technobabble.

I have used AutoCAD and Mechanical Desktop for many years and the biggest thing QCAD is missing in my opinion is keyboard macros. This is what made AutoCAD entry very fast for me. For example, you might first press 'L' for drawing a line. Then it asks for a starting point. Since features must me precisely placed, you must give exact coordinates or snap to an existing feature. So now you might press 'X' to enter cartision coordinates or 'P' for polar coordinates. Then it might ask you for the second point. You could snap to an existing feature. For example your press 'T' for tangent to an arc or circle or 'L' for parallel to another line. Once a good macro set is developed and you practice it, it is almost like typing on a word processor. The toolbars and menus should still be there by they should only be to help the beginner learn.
When I worked at Applied Materials many years back, he ran the division I was working in. Although I never directly interacted with him, I found his management style well balanced and his speeches inspiring. Looking back, I would have no qualms about working under him again.

I would suggest you get a wooden boat.
We need the internet so we can discuss about whether we really need the internet.

posting to well known websites populated by nerds. Perhaps some of them in sympathy will buy your software?
I, for one, am sick and tired of this stupid joke.

same as the old.

Yes but in the movies they do cool computery things except with lots of flashy graphics around it.
$100 discount on each copy of the Linux kernel that they use in the future. And we will sell it to them at $101 a copy.

I recall Ultima Online or some other MMPORG having translation capability while chatting.
"Very immobile, yes, but what happens to the chip when you drill a hole thru it to mount said aluminum bar?"
What happens is that the chip is screwed.

Unfair. They need to make one for Gnome and call it GDB.
