Oh, good! Maybe he could go to China too-- and ask them to stop polluting and burning so much oil.
By the way: Nixon was a moderate. Sarcasm works better with extremes.
You had mallets? I still have the welts on my body from my Pong-playing days. It was a relief when I missed!
In the 1980s, we couldn't afford an NES so I had to play "Contra" on the proving grounds of the local army base-- with live ammo!
The copyright on "Steamboat Willie" is held by the Disney corporation, not Walt Disney's estate. You have to follow the corporate law, which I believe is an outrageous 95 years from publication now.

This might work on an iPhone. It is actually running on a PDP-1 emulator.
I have several customers who still have 9-track tape drives on site. They were in common use until two years ago. On occasion, we still need them for data conversion.
Windows NT was rebuilt from the ground up as a multiuser OS. It's the application vendors who screwed up. Regardless, it's a moot point as nearly all Windows software runs client/server and not as a dumb terminal such as you are accustomed to, whereby it's supposed lack of multiuser capability would be a liability.
Yes, I'm sure the average Joe is so retarded to ignore over 100 years of history and base his assumptions on a few vehicles manufactured in the last decade. Likewise, the average Joe believes that all Hondas are rice burners with coffee can tailpipes and all Porsches are ugly SUV abominations named after chili peppers.
The programmer who did the 3.1 application was a true craftsman, he took the time to track down every memory leak in his code and correct it
... and that's why your Windows 3.1 systems were stable. The stability of Windows 9x and earlier versions was susceptible to memory leaks due to their limited USER and GDI space. If your ace programmer had ported his app to Windows 95, it would have been at least as stable. The tick count problem was a stupid bug, true; but it was easy to fix and a patch was released for both 95 and 98. You could easily point to all the Y2K bugs in Windows 3.1 and call it "unstable" too, if you didn't patch it.
That would make software "free", but the people who create it less so. Shouldn't I be allowed to choose how I distribute my software? Let the market decide.
I don't think a network "engineer" who hasn't had to deal with Windows boxes in the past five years is very practiced. Imagine if I claimed that Linux didn't support any modern hardware or SMP because the last version I touched was Red Hat 5 ten years ago.
Deserts are not desirable ecosystems. They are what happens when you push a healthy ecosystem to the point of collapse.
The fact that this statement was modded "insightful" shows that there a few Slashdotters who slept through their grade-school biology lessons. I imagine all the species indigenous to desert climates have evolved since humans appeared?
Don't feed the trolls - when an AC says something stupid, let it slide.

Never get involved in a flamewar on Slashdot, or never go in against a Troll when your Karma is on the line?

They should have put him in the basement and stopped paying him.
I understand the fatal mistake was taking his red stapler.
Goofy wore clothing. So clearly, that is a mark of sentience. Think of that next time you point and laugh at a miniature poodle wearing a sweater!
Don't publish what you read on bathroom walls, either. Just a recommendation.

It's not a backup. Delete a file, then see if you can recover it.

Back then, I used to use OS/2 so I didn't have to drop to DOS to do useful and fun things!

False dilemma. The third option is that he, like most of Congress, was simply misled.
Yet another elitist urbanite who thinks his way is the "right" way.
The price has been rising quicker in the USA because of inflation, which has been exacerbated by the Fed's insistence on lowering interest rates.
Maybe we shouldn't allow our legislators to limit our access to explosives, then.

Where do you live that it costs you over $1 a minute to call Palm?
You can't figure out how to see where a link is going in your browser, and Fox News is dumb?

What about registered users?
Either you're trolling, or just trying to fill as many ignorant mistakes and logical fallacies as possible into one post.
