This was a TRS-80 clone. Came with 16K, a built-in cassette deck and power supply, and it was 99% compatible with the TRS-80 Model-1
I got mine from a friend who had his computer destroyed by a nearby lightning strike. We spent weeks trying to figure out the problem(s). When he bought a new one, he gave the old one to me. Without further debugging I removed all TTL chips (couldn't afford replacing the CPU or memory), and much to my surprise the system sprung back to life!
Since then I've had a Grundy 8002 CP/M system (8" floppy, 4MB harddisk(!)) and built my own CP/M system on breadboard, based on a Hitachi HD64180. Can't imagine how I ever found the time back tehen.
I call bullshit. Sending email shouldn't be free. It should cost money. It's a service and there is no such thing as a free lunch. We should kill email as we know it and introduce a system that costs money. Even a single penny for each email would be enough to stop spammers. Their business model would no longer work.
Obviously, given my nick, I can't resist to respond to this one;-) SCSI and termination was a black art at the days, especially when mixing narrow and wide SCSI. Don't mix LVD and HVD or the magic smoke may escape!
Incidentally I still have a parallel SCSI adapter in my Windows 10 PC. Took a bit of work (Convince a Win2k8 LSI server driver that it should install), but I now have access to my Exabyte VXA-2 tape drive.
So, is US congress now going to change the law so a US judge can permit the US DOJ to access foreign servers? May we assume reciprocity, so that other countries can then serve warrants to providers in the USA and legally demand access to data stored on US soil?
The sheets of silicon need to be produced and replaced regularly with huge environmental impact. Those 'elegant' windmills ruin the sight, are very noisy, very expensive to operate and maintain, and generate flicker vertigo. Here's a small exampe of what thos 'elegant' windmills look like, from a pro-wind site: http://www.milieubewust.net/du...
You really call this elegant? And remember that the country must be plastered with these things to get even close to the energy output of a single modern nuclear plant.
And I want to become a Billionaire. I have saved up 25 Euro's already.. Replacing their nucleair power with wind/solar is naïve and unrealistic at best. They can 'want', but they can't 'do'.
The reference to the 'total renewable energy in France' is a joke. France has 66 Million inhabitants. China more than 1.3 Billion. So even though it sounds impressive at first sight, it's a very, very small portion of their total energy requirement.
I have both DAB+ and FM in my car (Swedish Volvo), and I live in the Netherlands, a small, totally flat country. These circumstances should be perfect for DAB+. Even so, it drops out at random places where FM works just fine.
Looking at Norway, unless they plaster the country with transmitters, there's no way they can arrange proper coverage for DAB+.
The real problem isn't Facebook, Twitter, the Russians, Chinese or whatever.
The real problem is who gets to decide what news is real or fake.
This is no more or less than an attempt to set up a 'Ministry of Truth'. People are very easy to manipulate, and having a system to gauge 'news' gives anyone immense power over those people.
They just went as far as demanding a German school in Turkey to ban any mention or celebration of Christmas. How about a fair trade. German schools in Turkey will refrain from references to Christmas if Turkey takes their islamic sh*t out of all European countries and shoves it..
Can anyone perhaps explain what data Facebook can glean from communications that according to WhatsApp are end-to-end encrypted? If that is true, how are they reading your communications?
I wrote my own terminal emulator in assembly on a CP/M system. Worked really well, except I couldn't get the darn X-Modem protocol right. Had to settle for Kermit.
Later I ran a 4-line Maximus BBS, wrote a DOS TSR software to redirect sysadmin yells over Netware IPX. Oh the days..
If I would wear a tin-foil hat, then I'd suggest that Asia is carpet bombing the Western digital world. The difference being that no lives are being taken (yet), no physical damage occurs (yet) and no bomber planes are flying. Oh, and contrary to physical warfare, WE ARE PAYING for our own bombs. Small amounts each time,but we buy the cr*p that comes out of Asia.
I'm not wearing a tin-foil hat, but still I wonder if the cr*ppy firmware and spreading of so many exploitable devices isn't just part of the plan.
Lotus Notes / Domino and other IBM software that is mandatory on Windows laptops is to blame for much of this. Mac OS users are much more on their own, are not bogged down with all the company cr*p and just do their job.
So I write command line software. If a user messes up the command line, I display a Usage message. This uses argv[0], which is basically 'the executable name'.
When I run Windows bash, the pwd command shows '/c/test'. When I run test.exe I'd expect argv[0] to be '/c/test/test.exe'. It isn't, it is the Windows native 'C:\TEST\TEST.EXE'.
Very impressive footage, although I would have loved to see the initial ignition and the fadeing at the end.
What I'd also like to know is if igniting rockets such as these horizontally, with this amount of thrust, would have any measurable impact on the earths rotation at all. If not, what amount of thrust would be needed to do this?
I'm sure all US citizens will soon have to comply with the new Network Distribution Privacy Act (due to be announced soon) which means allowing at least one, or when required for coverage, two 71GHz transceivers in every room of their private property. When multiple operators are active in your region that will of course double or more. Service personnell must have unrestricted access to ensure full network coverage at all times.
People, stop the madness. Go out, leave your phone at home, get a life.
European here. Contrary to your belief (as probably induced by the somewhat biased media reports), many European civilians are not mourning at all. Many of us are happy to finally see EU dictatorship come to a halt. The Brits will do fine outside the EU. And so will many other countries.
EU is a failed project, perhaps good for the elite and large companies, but it sucks for ordinary citizens. Unlimited import of society-wrecking hordes, unreal money pits, total neglect for ordinary citizens, destruction of carefully crafted wellfare systems, pensions down the drain, job losses, and mind-boggling burocracy. That's EU for us. This project should return to being an economic powerhouse, without the common currency and without tens of thousands of useless, overpaid burocrats.
The Brits have taken the lead. Will it hurt? Sure! But better to cut the ties now then to stay aboard a ship heading for the cliffs. I expect other countries to follow. The Clash had this in their lyrics: "If I go there will be trouble.. If I stay it will be double!!"
I don't care much about religion, regardless which variety. But I do not consider islam to be a religion. It is an ideology, an all-encompassing view on how civilization should be ran. And it is totally incompatible with our civilization. It is out to infiltrate and destroy our civilization.
Muslims are the result of islam. They are inspired by their sick ideology. Muslims don't get born as killers, they get turned into killers by the brain-poison that islam is. Islam is the root. Remove and ban the root. If you prevent people from being exposed to islam, perhaps you can stop them from becoming muslim, and they won't be killers.

So what the study finds is that doctors as well as technology disagree. There's nothing indicating that the second or third opinion is correct.

This. I worked for IBM for a couple of years and it was the darkest, least inspiring office I have ever been in.

I think not..
Yep. Germany's Mrs Merkel made more than one huge mistake..

Ever heard of "damage control"? Surely state officials will deny any such thing.

Once. Most just don't work so well after that.
