Ours was a TI 99/4A. Hooked it up to an old RCA 13" television that was previously my dad's bedroom TV, and used a Penncrest tape recorder for data storage. Had a whopping 16 KB of RAM on that thing.
I know this, and you know this, and it seems that many a Slashdot reader knows this. Regrettably, this is Texas - where many think that anybody who looks like they are from another country that is not Mexico is automatically a terrorist.
Beyond this, there's a saying about idiots. You can tell an idiot, but you can't tell them much.
Still, this is not to tell you to stop. Keep going. Just remember that you're not going to get through somebody whose brain pain is so devoid of matter that it's a vacuum. And in that regard, you have my sympathy.
...no really. Teach a man to fish and all that.
Some of the best resources can be found at the local library for learning this stuff, as well as community colleges. On one hand, it helps that they are willing to learn this stuff - but on the other hand, it helps that they understand that you're not necessarily going to be available 24/7 for their needs.

I guess this is the only way one is going to get In n Out in Boston. But then there's the word "through", so I don't know if I want to know what they're doing.
Look, this is not a nerd problem. This is not a subset-of-men problem. The problem is simplified as "misogyny" and that's it.
Yes, there are misogynist nerds. But to be frank, let's call 'em what they are - misogynist. Because there are misogynist Christians, there are misogynist atheists, there are misogynist railfans, there are misogynist bus drivers, there are misogynist flautists. it does not matter what group they are part of, a misogynist is a misogynist.
I'd say "fuck them", but that would be a lowering of standards. I suggest not fucking them.
Any OS change is going to have a learning curve. Hell, I had to adjust to using Linux in '01 after having used OS/2 for about four years. Ask yourself this: are you willing to put up with every single user asking you every minute of every day how to do X on the new system? If the answer is not 110% "yes", then you had best hit the EJECT button right now.
Look, this is great and all, but if I see some ugly polyester costumes, 1970s hair, and giant pneumatic tubes that carry people to and fro on that base, i'm going to seriously consider researching sustainable and well-lit subterranean shelter to ride out the impending lunar nuclear disaster.
I work in technical support for an ISP. One of the things I must know, natch, is what OS they're using. In cases where it's XP, I will inform (or, as the case is sometimes, remind) them that Microsoft will be ending all support for their OS of choice, and that now is the time to upgrade. My one regret is that these users have waited so long, resulting in that they must now upgrade to Windows 8.1.
Well, OK, they can probably get a copy of Win 7 from Newegg or somesuch.
In future revisions to this, they may have their entire work crews living underground with shaved heads and all white clothing, enforce drug usage, and forbid sexual activity.
"What's wrong?"
Header check, maybe? The best way to confirm it is to look at the headers and find out where it came from - most people on the 'net these days who know their stuff can read that.
I'll be frank, I've never fully understood the basic concept of a flu vaccine.
Sure, flu season comes around, and a lot of people come down with the $animal plague. A few die from complications, but by and large, we get over it.
Enter into it, here, the current vaccine. It protects against a prior strain, but that leaves any new strain open to attack without reprisal. People get the flu, accordingly.
It's not to say it isn't completely without benefit, as I do know a few people who take it to keep from getting ill, and it's mostly because they have respiratory issues. But really, aren't we just protecting ourselves from something that really is more of a bogeyman that makes us miserable for a few weeks out of the year?
I suppose this would assume that waves have some intelligence, and are attacking these ships. I'm of the opinion that these waves are more like the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal, where you would be better off covering your eyes with a towel to fool them into thinking the ship - or at least, the crew - are invisible.
I live in apartments in the Seattle area - in fact, I'm a few miles out from the Microsoft campus. We get people who don't use the ILEC or incumbent cable co, the latter whose name sounds like "bombast" - because they're cheapskates,so they filch off of others' open wifi.
This includes the front office. Which they used for sharing, and that includes file sharing - which poses a risk, in this day and age, for cancelling all internet service for the front office, something they rely on.
Personally, I need to have a notice eating at my mail like I need a hole in my head. It might push security by the openness, but I don't need to be spending too long setting this stuff up - I have homework.
PEX tubing for your plumbing is pretty damn cool, and pretty cheap. No worries at all about pipe corrosion if you have funky water, and they tend not to burst. Moreover, the right kind of box can set your valves for all fixtures in one central location. The bad news, however, is that you can't just cut the valve if you're on the commode and the commode suddenly springs a leak on the intake.
As for hardline networking, just do it. Have a wifi spot for guests and laptops, but for desktop boxes, well, wifi never really made sense to me - and besides, it's hard to beat the reliability of a copper CAT6E line, or fiber, or....
So what would this do to the ability to recycle the materials? A general rule is that recyclers want you to clean glass (rightly so, as ketchup turns to pretty much carbon at the 2000 deg F required to melt glass, thus spoiling the recyc batch), but what would this do under intense heat?
That last 10% is generally considered to be transactional overhead. Speed testers don't tend to count that. Your best advice is to either live with the 300 kb/s missing, demand a 10% discount for that overhead (which will likely be unsuccessful, because that top speed is NOT guaranteed and it will most likely say as much in the TOS), or find a provider that will provide that max speed limit at all times.

...once it sells, I just might come back 'round and clean up my profile a bit, and maybe even start reading here again.
So, lemme see if I have this right.
This is a new take on a shell.
...which is run from within my editor of choice, emacs.
...which I run in a shell.
...which I run from an xterm, which I spawn in the gui.
Or, maybe, I run it in a browser.
...which I spawn from an icon in Gnome.
I'm not seeing how this is a Good Thing.

I think Salmon Marnier would only work out if they got Rex Stardust, the lead electric triangle from Toad The Wet Sprocket.
Yanno, I can't help but think of this scene from the Kentucky Fried Movie whenever somebody suggests that something is going to go to Detroit.

The fact that Botswana's issues are caused by politics does not change that they are on a knife's edge.

What you said, DragonWriter. I have my doubts that this is a lazy way out - more a way of stopping it until a better answer is found.

Perhaps this is going to be ready when the IPv6 flag day is?
Seems that atty4kids has gone to 404 land. Interesting, that.
