Try Goodwill, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Salvation Army, or any of a dozen local thrift shops. The best part is that by giving these old monitors new life, the charities win and we keep them out of landfills.
Why is 11pm followed by 12am, and then 1 through 11am, and then 12pm? Shouldn't 12pm follow 11pm? The only sensible way surely is to have 0am..11am and then 0pm..11pm. Can anyone explain why 12 comes before 1?
The deal is, that We The People delegate certain of our inalienable rights to Our Government; we do not need ANYTHING to prove that we exist as individuals. This is why we do not have nor do we ever need government identity papers -- Because We The People give the power to the government, not the other way around. Your mere existence is its own inalienable self-proof.
We in America, a free country, do not have identification papers. That is what sets us apart from totalitarian regimes. As for a driver's license, I did not have one until I was 33 years old, and I only need it when I am driving an automobile -- that is why it is called a driver's license. The only person who ever gets to see it, is a police officer and only if I am driving. There is no other legitimate need for anyone to see it, ever.
And how exactly are you going to position the printing, on the form? How exactly are you going to guide and hold that little slip of paper on the roller? Easy on a typewriter.
there is nothing you can do on a typewriter that you can't do more easily otherwise
How about fill out any arbitrary pre-printed forms you happen to be given, or print on loose 1-inch by 2-inch hanging-file-folder tags? A typewriter can do those easily, but how would you do either one with any other kind of printer?
I refuse to live in a world where Americans need "your papers please" or where our police are thugs. I refuse to be bullied by the TSA. It is our choice what world we wish to live in. If you give in, you give up; That way lies fear, depression, and death. I live in the same bright world that Ronald Reagan spoke of, a city on a hill....
Grammar nitpick: I have been seeing the mangled "a firmware" for awhile, and occasionally "a software," but this is the first time I've seen "a hardware" in the wild. Please, folks: firmware, hardware, and software are like "clothing" -- you have a piece of clothing (not "one clothing"), a piece of firmware, a piece of software, a piece of hardware -- you can't have "a hardware," two "hardwares"...
The First Amendment guarantees freedom of association -- that means the freedom to travel and meet whoever you like. We used to laugh at the Soviet Union for requiring "internal passports" to travel. America, we proudly said, was a free country and we do not have "identity papers," much less need to carry them. Now you cannot board an airplane or train without Identity Papers in what we used to call America. The terrorists have won, we have become Nazi Germany, and nobody seems to care.
If they are doing this, it is a wonderfully malicious reason to join FB and do nothing at all except accumulate a large number of friends and block all their apps... Kinda like joining a political party to vote for their worst candidate.
"Maths" vs. "Math" is one place the Brits make more sense than Americans. However it certainly is odd when I hear "the M1 Motorway" which presumably is short for "the Motorway 1 motorway." Worryingly, the Los Angeles habit of saying "The I-10" -- presumably short for "The Interstate Highway 10 'freeway'" where "freeway" is just a Californianism for "limited access highway," and thus "The Interstate Highway 10 limited access highway" -- seems to be spreading like a cancer throughout the American west. Do these people get their kicks on "the" Route 66? (sigh)
As to the original question -- If you want a technical degree, go to a technical school. College really should teach you more about The World and not so much about technical subjects.
Pool filter timers, water heater timers, and many other high-current devices typically still use electromechanical clocks which are commonly available. However those devices have to be reset after power outages in any case; so, having to check them every few months should not really be anything new.
If that million-to-one remained constant, there would be a 1-in-10,000 chance of it happening in a 100-year span. However, as with "life expectancy" tables, the likelihood of the star's demise increase slightly with every passing year. Even worst-case, however, is probably 1-in-1,000 chance over a 100 year span... (Source: WAG)
It's the right direction for demonstrating that computers are based on discrete logical components, no matter how tiny and embedded in a chip; and the right direction for demonstrating that, given enough time and information, it would be possible to truly understand any digital device.
Hmm, I wonder how many TTL chips I would need for a nice little PDP-11...

Since when is "friend" a verb? I enemy that.

Oh wait, for a moment I thought those were EG&G headsets.

Use a daisywheel or dot matrix?

Pakistan better be worried, if India has rocket propelled grenades that run on steam! ... but honestly I'm just reading the headlines.

By my calculations, if Firefox had started this version numbering scheme with its start in 2004, we would now be running Firefox 61.
If they Mozilla had adopted it in 1998, this would be Firefox 113.

An all-Limbaugh mixtape? That's pretty scary, I never heard him sing.

Apparently the editors cannot spell (or fact-check) ... in German, Volk = "people" and Wagen = "wagon; carriage; automobile." Thus, yes, Volkswagen -- the "people's car."
You could spend the coins, or is counting so incredibly challenging?
