Think about what you do before you do it, what potential ramifications it may have. Just because you CAN do it doesn't mean you SHOULD. And remember: anything you say on a publicly accessible Web site is publicly accessible (it should go without saying).
Because of the larger fonts I've been using the new design blocks the left part of the page slightly. I'd like at least to be able to disable the subject bar on the left.
You're conflating Martin Luther (German) with William Tyndale (English), and I think you got a little bit of John Wycliffe mixed in there for good measure xD.
Seriously, what need is there? Just to look fancy? Gather dust on the desks and in storage rooms? I can't think of anything that would require or even benefit from the use of a computer or anything technologically past about 1980 (hell, past 1950) that came up in elementary or middle school, except possibly for special-ed students (and mind you I was one, though partially mainstreamed).
Lockport's in Niagara County. We in Niagara County don't get the storms that bury Buffalo and especially the Southern Tier under 7 feet of snow every year like clockwork. Once Buffalo got stomped and Sanborn (where I went to college, just a couple miles west of Lockport) was still green.
You think Buffalo's bad? Up here in Niagara Falls, half of Main St. and a chunk of Pine Ave. (our other main business district) is boarded up and falling apart, and half the streets are bad enough that everyone avoids driving on them (I've heard they're planning to reroute buses off one street because they keep breaking down due to all the potholes in the road). Honeymoon capital of the world? Don't make me laugh.
And you can BLAME him for it too, because back in 2003 a fault in Niagara Falls knocked out a good chunk of the eastern seaboard. (Meanwhile, we were just without power for a couple hours...iirc, we don't actually get any of our power from the hydro plant which is just north of the city.)
Niagara County (Lockport is a bit into Niagara County, it's not "Buffalo" or even in the same county as Buffalo though it's in the same metro area) is not immune to earthquakes, though it doesn't tend to get the big ones like San Francisco.
We've had a couple little bumpers in the 15 years I've lived here.
The DSL branches of Verizon (I'm on business DSL - was previously on residential DSL - and have been a VZ DSL customer for 7 years) have tiered service based on *speed*. I think that's reasonable - pay for performance (there is, I think, one tier higher than mine). Tiered based on *usage*, well, that's a bit different when it really doesn't cost that much more to fling a few gigs over the wire than a few K.

The Apple ][+ version of Lemonade Stand is almost straight FPBASIC. Just load and LIST.
A good chunk of Oregon Trail, even the 1985 version, is also FPBASIC.

Different? They're just a new kind of same.

Except that of those only Solaris, HP/UX and AIX are actually "real Unix". And OSX is a BSD.

Oddly, Casino Niagara didn't cause any damage to the tourism industry on THAT side of the ditch.
Nah. I don't think the casino destroyed anything... there was already nothing left to destroy.

And we got much more reasonable rent to boot. :>?

Borrowed liberally from XENIX too. That's why it's had stdio abstraction and Unix file handles since version 2.0.

About 6 years ago it had everything the iPad had and more. Sorry, buying an iPad isn't being an "early adopter", but buying a TC1100 would have been.

I think the BASIC syntax is more natural to English than COBOL's syntax.

LET NEWBALANCE = BALANCE - DEBIT
perfectly logical to me, and not excessively terse. And most BASIC environments don't require LET.
