  1. Re:Having used a Commodore their was more issues on The Real Inside Story of How Commodore Failed (youtube.com) · · Score: 1

    The C64 did windows. You didn't even need Bill Gates to wash them.

  2. Re:Still got my old C64 from the early 80s on The Real Inside Story of How Commodore Failed (youtube.com) · · Score: 1

    I loved the Atari 800 keyboard and case design. Alas, my parents could only afford a Commodore VIC-20 and later the C64 when I was a kid.

  3. Re:Still got my old C64 from the early 80s on The Real Inside Story of How Commodore Failed (youtube.com) · · Score: 1

    I went through three C64's from middle school (mid-1980's) to college (early 1990's), each one lasting a little bit over three years from daily use.

  4. Please, God, 1TB SSD for $50 each... on Researcher Turns HDD Into Rudimentary Microphone (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 0

    I got six microphones in my home file server. I can't wait to replace them with 1TB SSD for $50 each in the next five years.

  5. Grow at Google... on Google Announces $1 Billion Job Training and Education Program (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    Considering that the average Googler gains 36 pounds from the free food at the café, maybe Google should spend the money on slimming down at Google.

  6. I was looking at university catalogs in the mid-1990's. Many were willing to waive the foreign language requirement if a programming language course was taken. Pascal and C were popular programming languages. I've never heard anyone speak Pascal or C. That gibberish sounded like Greek anyway.

  7. Misread title... on Legal Online Gambling Could Return To the US (digitaltrends.com) · · Score: 1

    Why would Monster (a job search website) get involved with online gambling?

  8. Re:2020 can't get here soon enough on Equifax Website Hacked Again, this Time To Redirect To Fake Flash Update (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Damn... There goes a piece of my bread and butter. Every month I have to update Adobe Flash to the latest version. Oh, well. Since my employer is planning to switch from Win7 to Win10 in the near future, I still have job security with Microsoft.

  9. Re:STOP USING FACEBOOK: problem solved on How Facebook Outs Sex Workers (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    Your Facebook account is never deleted. Oh, sure. You can go through the motions of deleting your Facebook account. The moment you have to access a website via a Facebook account login, your account is immediately revived. You can "delete" it again but it never goes away.

  10. Pretty much. To quote Scotty: "She's gonna blow, Captain!"
