Drivel. There was no "second" Vietnam war, it was all just part of the same struggle between capitalist West and communist East that started in the early '50s when Ho Chi Minh rebelled against France.
The North Vietnamese won because of Ho Chi Minh's strategy of attrition. His people would tolerate terrible casualties for far longer than we would, so he didn't need to win, he just had to not lose until we couldn't take the toll any longer.
The Hurricane was descended from the Hawker Fury biplane, and more generally used "proven" design methods rather than innovating like the Spitfire did, which meant it was quicker & cheaper to manufacture and repair.
It really depends on which UART the old computer's serial port has. It's not uncommon for something of that age to have a 16450 or 8250, which IIRC max out at 9600 bps. For the higher speeds you're talking about you'll need a 16550A or better at both ends.
Dear Cthulhu, I just noticed that he cited/Infowars/ and expected people to take it seriously. Infowars, founded by Alex Jones, who never met a conspiracy theory he didn't like.
As it almost always is when this place covers AGW, thanks to Dunning-Kruger victims thinking that their knowledge of computers directly translates into knowledge of climate science.
Slashdot Mirror
I'm not sure "betanews" is the most credible source out there
Hah. Says the guy on Slashdot. :P
I wish I believed it'd make a difference, but I'm in a deep red congressional district represented by a teabagger.
We do now. We didn't in the '90s when zombies started becoming popular.
Nobody takes the French army seriously anyway. :P
Check the timeline of when zombies became popular, fuckwit. It wasn't within the past year when ISIS rose to prominence.
We needed /some/ horde of faceless bad guys after Nazi Germany and the USSR fell, so now we have zombies.

The problem with news article comments is the mouthbreathing fucktards who inevitably make Youtube look like Mensa in comparison.
Anecdotally, I never share links directly to here because summaries and headlines are so often wrong.

Sorry, I've been arguing with a lot of idiots today (cf. xkcd.com/386) and I got Poe'd.
Like most libertarian pseudo-intellectuals, you think that calling someone you disagree with "fascist" makes it so.
Your Fox News-supplied talking point has been debunked already, child. That was 8 pages of rules and the rest was background and justification.

You have remarkably little self-awareness.
You may find it hard to believe, but I don't count Kos as a reliable source either. They're just as interested in pushing a political POV as Infowars.
Given your inability to pick any sort of reliable politically-neutral source, I'm going to assume you're a fucktard and ignore you.
You're allowed to keep your old woodburning stove, fucktard. You just can't buy a new one that's as dirty as your 50-year-old one.
Because they're on the same team, silly. Dyson says things he agrees with and that's all that matters.

my poor killfile is so full of deniers that it's not able to fit one more wafer-thin mint.
Please, don't hate.
Ho ho ho, that's rich coming from you.
except for the military, naturally. Republicans love them some war boners.
Thanks for letting us know what Fox News says about it. Good job, you.
Judging by other websites I've seen that on, Fox News has a talking point about 300-odd pages and said low-info voters like to repeat it.
