  1. I was lucky. on Bill Godbout, Early S-100 Bus Pioneer, Perished In the Camp Wildfire (vcfed.org) · · Score: 3, Informative

    I was lucky to have been involved in the beginning of the Micro Computer era. I worked for Mt Takayoshi Shiina at SORD Computer of Japan in the early 1980's. I remember talking with Mt Godbout, George Morrow who passed away some time ago from cancer I believe and Mt Shiina as a 20 something starry eyed kid that was totally enthralled with microcomputers and watching the business explode with ideas.

    God's speed Mt Godbout!

  2. I'm dating myself on this one.

  4. Missing from dating apps. on You Could Be Flirting On Dating Apps With Paid Impersonators (qz.com) · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Why don't profiles on dating apps have user reviews like restaurants on Yelp or similar? It really would be helpful. Things like [ 40 lbs more than her picture ], or [ put's out on first date ] would be great to know. I really would like to know why this feature is missing?

  6. Re:I carry cash. on Ask Slashdot: Why Do So Many of You Think Carrying Cash Is 'Dangerous'? · · Score: 0

    Never used it in self defense. Prolly never will in my lifetime. Wouldn't if there were any other way out. Read my first post.

  7. Re:I carry cash. on Ask Slashdot: Why Do So Many of You Think Carrying Cash Is 'Dangerous'? · · Score: 1

    I live in Joliet Illinois. Google ( used as a verb ) crime here.

  8. I carry cash. on Ask Slashdot: Why Do So Many of You Think Carrying Cash Is 'Dangerous'? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I don't feel comfortable if I go out with at least a couple hundred in cash with me. Always have. If you get robbed throwing a significant roll and running the other way is the safest thing you can do. Thieves hate it if they only get five bucks. Of course I forgot to mention that I also carry a gun. ( Legally with a concealed carry license ).

  9. ChromeOS on Ask Slashdot: What's The Easiest Linux Distro For A Newbie? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It's linux. And there isn't any tweaking you need to worry about.

  12. Is IRC still around?

  13. It's safe from hackers on US Military Uses 8-Inch Floppy Disks To Coordinate Nuclear Force Operations (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Like a millennial driving a stick shift car.

  14. Diesels are cheaper. Navy ships don't have to make a profit.

  15. Apple chasing the Nexus 5x? on Apple Unveils Smaller iPhone SE, Starting At $399 (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 0

    How the post Jobs world has changed with Apple chasing Google in the phone market.

  16. Too bad you lot gave up your guns. Maybe now you understand it wasn't about hunting or crime.

  17. I did this a year ago on Scientists Control a Fly's Heartbeat With a Laser (ieee.org) · · Score: 1

    I have a Wicked Lasers Arctic 1000mw blue laser wand. I was playing with it in my Lazy Boy when I saw a fly on the wall by the TV. I turned it on, did the code for full power, aimed it at the fly.

    No more heartbeat. Poof!

  20. Anti 2A policy hurt them on Leaked Documents Suggests Uber Is 'Losing Millions' · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I will no longer use Uber because of their anti Second Amendment Civil rights policy prohibiting both drivers and passengers that are licensed to carry from doing so.

    You don't want "my kind" in your cars, no problem. I'll take a cab.

  23. Re:Not denying something is different from forcing on Did Mozilla Have No Choice But To Add DRM To Firefox? · · Score: 1

    What has happened with Mozilla adding DRM is there is no longer any "moral" reason to use it. Just use Chrome instead. Chrome was spawned in the dark side and is way faster.
