  2. Actually... on Display Format Technologies Comparison · · Score: 1
    I am old enough to remember using paper as a display. Anyone else remember those old paper teletype terminals? We still use "tty" to refer to terminal devices but in the old days it used to mean teletype device which is why it was called "tty".

    oh... and we liked em!

    Because they have useless names like DSC0001.jpg and there's no metadata that says they are wedding photos.

    Obviously DSC0001.jpg is the first picture taken at your stag party. Contrary to what the wife says, these will always remain the most important wedding pics of the lot....

  6. My dad... on Smog Busting Paint Breaks Down Noxious Gasses · · Score: 1

    My dad usually lights a match after a nasty bathroom episode. If the walls absorbed that, what would happen when the match was struck? I guess it gives a whole new meaning to taking the paint off the walls...

    Some of us forget that "new" is not necessarily "better".

    I am still sticking to my 32 column abacus instead of upgrading to the new fangled 64 column one. From what I hear on slashdot 32 columns is faster than 64 columns....
