'Tis true, Until we find natives on another planet foolishly hoarding natural resources, that are ripe for exploitation and conquest, then commercial space programs are doomed.
Until then our only hope (stop, please stop, thinking about making a joke there) is some crazy idiot backed by a second-rate global player who thinks he can find a quicker route from San Jose to San Francisco via Mars.
Amateur programmers couldn't run and test their own code on it.
If nascent code monkeys weren't interested, then you lose the wow factor pretty quickly.
GEnie, Compuserve, Applelink, and AOL had some success because they were 1/2 BBS-like and 1/2 virtual desktop publishing.
One look at Mosaic + HTML, though, and it was painfully obvious that not only could you publish your random crap without AOL, but you could spend an eternity tinkering and extending it.
On December 8, 2011, U.S. District Judge Richard Seeborg dismissed the last remaining count of the class action lawsuit, stating: "As a legal matter, [..] plaintiffs have failed to allege facts or articulate a theory on which Sony may be held liable." He then removed massive amounts of wax from his ears after the trial.

I would argue that the "immigrants" have a more pressing desire to innovate because they felt the crushing limitations of the non-virtual world first hand.
Ron was good with tools. It would not surprise me a bit if he knew enough about copseyes to knock out the whole system.
Maybe someone ought to stop him.
But knocking down copseyes wasn't illegal. It happened all the time. It was part of the freedom of the Park. If Ron could knock them all down at once, well . . .
The Social Media Twelve Steps We admitted we were powerless over social media - that our lives had become unmanageable. Came to believe that a better broadband connection can restore us to sanity. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of a All Knowing Server Admin as we understood Him. Made a searching and fearless inventory of our posts. Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our spulling erroz. Were entirely ready to have The Next Thing Better Than Facebook remove all these defects of character. Humbly asked Customer Service to remove our drunken posts. Made a list of all persons we have stalked, and became willing to block them all. Avoided making direct amends to such people wherever possible because it pretty much looks like even more stalking. Continued to hide our personal baggage and when we were wrong to rise above the desire to ragequit. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with cute kittens as we understood Them, praying only for the power to not forward it. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to social media addicts, and to practice these principles in all our status updates.

Tunnels and Trolls and Traveller had more of an influence on me than D&D.
D&D did teach me to take the parts I liked and screw the rest.

The summary should read "Several browsers let your significant other press Ctrl-Shift-T to reopen a closed tab chock full of furry pr0n. That is all."
Thank god Corpsicles never took off!

The PDP 8/e was da bomb for:
printing "Hello World"
playing Tic-Tac-Toe
paper tape races
If it wasn't for FGU I wouldn't have bought V&V. On the other hand, the FGU http://www.fantasygamesunlimited.net/ webmaster should be shot.
I liked it so much I liked it. ...ooops...
I was deep into Pascal and assembly but it wasn't until HC that I learned the UI was where the battle was won or lost.

submit this to boing boing and the agitator. They'd probably love this.

Please, yes. These infected moroons are tomorrow's clients and damn I need the cash!
from toilet seats of course!
...this webOS browser is like slow burning syphilis. The only, and I mean only, thing that's right here is the $99 price tag.
YMMV for phones, sure. But for a tablet webOS is like a delicious cake made without leavening.

Leo sold me a freakin' sweet $99 ebook reader, so he's alright with me!
Today: "Yeah, Steve screwed us, but at least he didn't post the video on YouTube."
2050: "The MPAA and RIAA led the fight to make media cheaper and more accessible worldwide."
Come to think of it, the survivors of the Confederate States of America went through the same mental gymnastics.
