I'm not really sure what a capitla 'Q' looks like.
All of the materials they used when I was in school showed "Q" as something that looked more like a 2. Once I was no longer graded on the quality of my script, I started mixing printed "Q"s with cursive everything-else.
Probably the last time I did any significant amount of handwriting was 10 or more years ago. The only place that third-grade cursive writing comes into play now is my signature, and even that has changed somewhat. (I had to sign so much crap while I was at Best Buy that the second half of my last name is usually an unrecognizable squiggle now. I could be an actor or something like that, with a signature like that.:-) )
Reasonably modern versions of IE do not support png.
IE 5.0 & up (the only versions that most people would consider "reasonably modern") provide at least partial support (still no transparency as of IE 6.0)
Plenty of commercial environments don't have the resources to update pc's.
...and people wonder why email worms/viruses are so prevalent.
The intention is to prevent frivoulous lawsuits with no merit that only serve to harrass people.
In theory, we have laws against barratry. In practice, those laws appear to be ignored/flouted (consider the story of Petswarehouse.com as another example).
you buy things off thinkgeek and walk into radio shack, they are going to know what kind of customer you are; and probably leave you alone.
You've not been to Radio Shack lately, have you? The (generally) clueless staff won't know what I'm talking about if I ask them for something, so I'd rather be left alone to figure out if the store has what I want. It'll take less time than engaging in what will almost always be a pointless dialogue.
(Then again, I don't think I've been back to Radio Shack since Fry's came to town...)
uIP was easy enough to get running on the 6502. The tough part is slip/ppp. The appleIIe is only doing localtalk, which still counts. Hell, it's even switched localtalk... Synoptics Lattistalk.
If you have a MacIP implementation for the IIe, all you'd need is a LocalTalk-Ethernet bridge for it to start talking to the Internet. That's how my IIGS is set up...Marinetti (free) provides MacIP support, and a Cayman GatorBox CS (~$20 from an eBay seller) acts as both bridge and MacIP gateway. (The ironic bit is that my Apple IIGS uses MacIP, but my Macs don't...the Quadra 610 and beige Power Mac G3 desktop have built-in Ethernet, so they "speak" IP natively.)
Aside from the short LocalTalk run between the IIGS and the GatorBox, everything here that's networkable uses Ethernet. Even the IBM PC/XT is on Ethernet...it has a 10BaseT NIC installed (8-bit ISA, of course) so that it can plug directly into any hub or switch. It runs DR DOS 6.0 and one of the DOS-based network clients off of the NT Server 4 CD. It's able to access network shares on any of the Win32 or Linux boxen here...still don't have FTP or Telnet clients, and I'm guessing that SSH is out of the question for a 4.77-MHz 8088.:-)
The only machines I have that aren't on the network at this time are an Apple IIe, Apple II+, TI-99/4A, TRS-80 CoCo 2, and VIC-20. The IIe has a LocalTalk card in it (the Apple II Workstation Card, which is what I'm guessing you have in yours), but while it can access files stored on a Mac, I've not gotten it to cooperate with netatalk. IP support would be cool...since my IIe runs my brewing fridge, it could be monitored across the network that way.:-)
and it is PAscal, not this joke of a language called C or C++
Pascal is a girly-man's language...strong typing is for people with weak minds. If I want to shoot myself in the foot, I don't want my language telling me I can't shoot myself in the foot, dammit!:-)
It's very fuzzy if you use a TV, though. You need ~14-15 MHz bandwidth for a sharp 80-column display, but your average TV offers only a fraction of that (maybe 4 or 5 MHz). A monochrome monitor (or RGB, if you're using a IIGS) is very much preferred over a TV. Apple also had some color monitors that could be kicked into monochrome mode.
All those string operations might cause the garbage collector to kick in...and the one in ROM is dog-slow. (ProDOS's BASIC.SYSTEM added faster garbage collection.) Try this instead:
10 REM A PROGRAM TO PRINT RANDOM LINES OF STARS
20 X = RND (1000)
30 Y = RND (80)
40 FOR A = 1 TO X
50 FOR B = 1 TO Y
60 PRINT "*";
70 NEXT B
80 PRINT
90 NEXT A
Of course, you could just make it a one-liner:
10 X = RND (1000): Y = RND (80): FOR A = 1 TO X: FOR B = 1 TO Y: PRINT "*";: NEXT B: PRINT: NEXT A
But lets not forget groups like the NRA, who do not represent the views of the majority.
By what means do you arrive at that conclusion? For any given viewpoint, majority or not, it's likely to be just a small percentage that believes strongly enough to want to join an advocacy organization. Most of the time, these types of organizations are lucky if they get tens of thousands of members. The NRA's current membership is somewhere around 4 million. With that many people willing to take a stand for their rights, I strongly doubt your assertion that the views of the NRA are a minority viewpoint.
Why dont you just stick a tuner card into a cheap PC?
99% of the tuner cards out there only do FM, which makes them about as useful as tits on a mule.
I have plugged a tuner into the line-in jack of a soundcard and timeshifted radio that way...the only disadvantage of that is that you're stuck on whatever frequency you tuned into it. (If the tuner had a remote control and you put an IR transmitter on your computer, you might be able to tune it that way...but the tuner I used was an ancient beast from the early-to-mid-70s and didn't do that.)
As long as you are already recording, you can manually stop it and go back.
Can you start playing from the beginning while it keeps recording? That's one of TiVo's big attractions...IMHO, it's more useful than pausing live TV because I almost never watch live TV.
He said quality programming.:-) (That said, I see that Sean Hannity is missing from the list. Phil Hendrie's a waste of bandwidth...nearly as much so as Howard Stern.)
Yeah, and typical Microsoft went and broke the standard associating.nfo with System Info files in Win2k.
Fortunately, Win2K added "Open With..." to the context menu. Add %systemroot%\system32\edit.com to the programs you use to open.nfo files and you're all set. (By using the old-school DOS editor instead of Notepad or Wordpad, you get compatibility with the IBM graphics used in many.nfos.)
TGssh doesn't verify the server's public key, so it's not actually secure at all.
It's also an SSH1 client, not SSH2. The small screen size is a bit of an annoyance, but it was written for a 160x160 monochrome display. With the 320x320 color Palms that are out now, it should be possible to use subpixel drawing to do 80x40 text that would be reasonably legible (you'd have a 12x8 grid in which to draw each character). I started plotting out a few characters and displayed the results in Paint on a desktop LCD; I think it'd be legible enough. I haven't looked into whether it'd be feasible, but maybe the OpenSSH client (which already supports SSH2) could be combined with a suitable text generator to produce an updated Palm SSH client.

Why can't you use them? If people bitch at you because their browser is broken, tell them to upgrade. "We've upped our standards, so up yours!"

They say that if you get a post modded "5, Troll," you win. What you win, I don't know...do I want to know?

There was also an LCD available for the Apple IIc that made it somewhat more portable...that brings your count to six.
You'd need a depression first...that isn't happening and won't happen.
