Possibly, although some were also printers. The outputs looked like RS232, but I didn't spend much time on it. I also couldn't find anything on it when I searched. Someday its lost/buried state will collapse. If it was buried, I'll take another look--maybe follow the lines back to the PC board and see what they connect to.
I still like Canopic: Jars that you store mummified organs in. Bury those under the legal paperwork that they've generated, and you'll have a proper monument for them that'll last for.. anyone have a light?
Circuit Cellar magazine is probably a good place to start for projects and ideas. Over the years, they've had quite a number of projects in that area ranging from the simple to the complex, and they probably have archive CDs fairly cheap.
For your next project: Connect a thermistor or other temperature sensor to a port (a joystick port is good). Then when the door is open, check the temp outside. If it's less than n, have a text-to-speech program shout "Hey! Close the door! Do you think we're made of money or something?"
I rescued an old daisy wheel Smith Corona (15ish CPS) from the trash at my apartment building. Sweet! One of the last typewriters with a small LCD edit window, spell checker, large buffer, etc, etc. I would have killed for this for doing school papers back then.
However it only had a 9 pin connector on the back. I think it was serial, but non-standard and no documentation. I didn't have time to fiddle with it at the time, and it either got lost during a move or buried under a whole pile of stuff. ("Some of our top men are working on it" buried.)
Who needs a court-order for the servers? I'm sure the army and/or the NSA could write some bitching MMPOGs if they wanted to. (It could even be an excellent source of funds that even the oversight committee people wouldn't see.)
Using MUDs would be silly. Since a huge amount of Internet traffic is now P2P, why not just hide your traffic in with all the other software that's using odd-ball ports and exchanging huge amounts of binary data?
Scary thought: If the NSA is monitoring P2P, they now have the world biggest collection of pr0n, illegal warez and xxAA-violating music and movies! (They should mention that in their recruitment ads.)
Which is weird because there's a world coffee glut. The people at the other end of the chain are getting near-zip for growing it. Time to send the troops in to those CPEC nations!
I wonder if there's any way to get into the can without setting off the heating reaction? You could always change the contents then set it off. Better coffee, or is it soup yet?
Speaking of setting it off, I'm reminded of the hobby saboteurs in Stand on Zanzibar by John Brunner. You can bet people like that would find "nifty" uses for a handy off-the-shelf unit like that.
If you're in need of a really quick caffeine rush, is it okay if you eat a few spoonfuls right from the can? uummm.. okay, probably not, bye! Hot hot hot!

Grap the source and grep. It's a fairly basic call, so it wouldn't surprise me if it was used.
You managed to.
If you don't have any fancy admin rights, you shouldn't be able to anything in code to crash your machine, regardless of the OS.

#88 Wade Whimsies. I have that hedgehog. (Although I suspect mine is from the pre-war vintage.) Scary!

Looks like a success to me.
So your mother-in-law frequently goes ballistic?
Wups! Who put that extra dot there?

Just hack the ID to say that your licence plate is HRH1. Better practice that royal wave just in case.
No no--not everywhere .. just on the road that I want to cruise along. Great weather on all those other roads, so go drive on them.

I guess I own Schrodinger's typewriter.
Strange, most of them seem to be quite deaf from the way they shout into their cell phones.

They must lose a lot of agents training them up: "You are standing in a dark alley. You have no light. You are likely to be eaten by a grue."
In Korea, only old people use Starcraft for covert communications! (The rest use it for zergling rushes.)
Try this. It should be effective.

Why go through all the long process with the coffee? I shall invent .. self-heating pants!
Better be careful to not store them too close to your self-cooling cans of beer. That could be a real mess! ("Mmmm, luke-warm coffee-beer!")
