  1. It is also OK to look at the sun.

    But only at night.

  2. CGA in 160×100, 16 color mode.

    Most awesome trick ever. Too bad it wasn't used more often, because the palettes available in 320x200 really sucked.

  3. And as soon as this hits the market, I'm buying my last-forever monitors.

    I haven't seen cars with CD players in the last 182 years.

    There's also new kinds of artists, such as Wintergatan, who's like a modern Da Vinci.

    There's no DRM on the music* files sold in the iTunes Store.

    * videos are another story.

    Yeah but he's living on the 4893th floor so he doesn't really hear the city noise that much.

  9. It would have been more appropriate for him to use a car to slow down other cars. Using a van would have been better and would have given him a much larger surface to put a much larger sign which would have been readable from the car behind him. Just slow down in front of the FCC building block, then loop around and repeat all day.

  10. I thought the United-States-of-American Way was Shoot first, think never.

    Hello, counselor Deanna Troi.

  12. Yes. Windows 10 Pro 64-bit, Fall Creators Update.

    A computer from the 1960's couldn't drive all the pixels in his LCD display, couldn't display text with anti-aliasing and couldn't refresh the display 60 times per second. In fact it couldn't even handle downloading anything via Wi-Fi because it would be too slow to accept the incoming data.

    If you want to laugh at him, at least use a worthwhile comparison.

    Example:
    Wow congratulations on using a task that a computer from 2008 can handle without issue.

  14. If Apple can charge $1300 for an m3 laptop with 8GB RAM and a 256GB SSD, surely Microsoft can charge $800 for an m3 laptop with 4GB RAM and a 128GB SSD.

    Wouldn't Vimeo be a viable alternative?

    Must have been one manufactured in the first few batches. I bought my GameCube when it was released in Canada and it was made in Japan. I also bought my Wii on launch day in Canada, but they were already being made in China by that point.

  17. Australia is up-side down, gravity is reversed so they always go upward... whatever.

  18. One word... Australia.

    Good thing I stay away from the office packages from the big corporations and use Apple iWork instead!

    It is entirely possible there are 'habitable' planets within reach of our technology - if we're willing to invest in building a heavily redundant generation ship and live forever in domes when we arrive at the destination, totally dependent on advanced technology for survival.

    You never heard of atmosphere processors? It's a one terawatt fusion reactor power plant, about 1500 metres in height, manufactured by Weyland Corp.
