I've got a very-much still working CIT-101e vt100 dumb green screen from 1983.
Works great as the serial console to my embedded firewall.
I don't fire up my Apple ][ (non-plus model) often, but I know that still works, and it's got a modem, cpm card, and maybe an integer basic card, but i can't remember. That's about 77-78
I don't think i have anything anymore that breaks the 35-year mark, though.
There's a really cheap "laser" detector that nearly every tech carries, although you may have forgotten it.
It's that camera on your cell-phone.
Yup, in a pinch, you'll see a nice little purple dot appear on your screen if you've got IR coming down the fiber. Works well enough to identify active cables.
You can also pick up a mag-lite->fiber adapter that'll shine visible down the line fairly cheap.
Have you tried to get IPv6 support from even MAJOR vendors?
Name one cablemodem or DSL vendor that supports client-side IPv6 addressing? No? How about just the management side of the CM or EMTA? Still hard pressed, right?
Have you tried managing firewalls with IPv6 ? Well, sure, you can kind of do it in sort of an ad-hoc fashion, with no bearing to your existing IPv4 implementation -- yep, they get their own objects and rules.
Hey, Checkpoint, the whole point behind Object-Oriented-Management is that we can build an object with all of these things... IPv4 addresses, IPv6 addresses, heck, why not even MAC addresses? Are you telling me that You can't figure out how to make it work without resorting to doubling up on host-objects (one for each class), and making them into 'groups', just so I can manage my ruleset appropriately?
Don't even get me started on Cisco and the ASA.
That said, I'm routing IPv6 on my IP core. I've got two tunnels set up so I can use V6 at home and at the office for testing. I'm just waiting on those darn vendors.

Gosh.. really, anything that affects the actual data package, but doesn't visibly hamper valid pictures.
I write stupid scripts to help me increase the amount of time I don't have use to do something.
I would have included my top-n script, which shows the top N instances of values learned via STDIN complete with last-seen timer, but perl code doesn't pass the lameness filter.

Look at a 1/4" stereo jack. Sleeve, ring, tip. -> ground, neutral, hot.
Meh. I hope somebody writes something better than the POS that mikeysoft supplies.
I've got a PST that it can't be bothered to fix. Which is quite the pain indeed.
My '96 Toyota T100 regularly gets 325+ miles per tank. But that's 21 gallons worth.
'Though, I'd rather get 325+ on a third of that at the very least.
I'll take two, and give one to my daughter.
nobody's mentioned the Apollo boxes..
Domain OS was... well, weird.
Pirates have been replacing damaged or missing limbs with replacements made of wood for years!
Yup. my "check for updates" is saying "download 3.5 now!" and I am. Slowly, to be sure, but i am.
Odd that the next story has a great idea for document management right in the summary...
Hadoop!
Who gets the happy ending now?

Oddly, Raid-5 (2D+1P) + an online hot spare == 4.
But, you know, that's just new math.

mod_proxy, mod_rewrite
your friends at apache have most of the work done for you. All you have to do is slap it together and write some custom rules.
Linux as a firewall, to make sure that all http/http traffic gets redirected through the proxy
if the hostname in the url doesn't match what's in your rewrite rules (aka, to pass through) then rewrite it to your custom splash page.
no need for wacky dns tricks here.

'Course, I'm from Alaska, where an area the size of Texas would be a moderate-sized park.
Oh, SNAP!
Although we like Canada over here next door. They're like the sassy ol' widow that bakes fresh pie and leaves it on the windowsill for us.
My fiancee just read that as "Referee Recommends _Dismemberment_ For Jack Thompson".
And while that may be slightly harsh from my perspective, I'm sure it'd get quite a few votes.
I bought it. It's plenty of fun. Reminds me a bit of the old Ultima click-n-fight fun, but with much better story and graphics.
I'm glad that they're letting me transfer the key between my desktop and my laptop and my work computer. I'll gladly drop a few gold shekels for that.

I had to try it out myself, but I used some extra compression and a list of isograms to add humor:

I'm still torqued at Woot for not shipping to Alaska.
Bloody barbarians.
