  1. Re:I used to write 6502 assembly... on Preserving Great Tech For Posterity — the 6502 · · Score: 1

    I went to UCSC with Inman Jr. (Kurt Inman). We were in the CS program together from 83-84.

  2. Re:not a waste on Crowdfund a Moon Monolith Mission? · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately, the current philosophy is:

    We choose not to go to the moon. We choose not to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, because they are hard, because that goal will not serve to organize and line the pockets of our campaign contributors, because that challenge is one that we are unwilling to accept, one we are willing to postpone, and one which we intend to forget about, and the others, too.

    I still have my MOSTEK 6502 manual -- 8.5x11 softcover.

    Yeah, I did miss that.

    What gaming commission?

    The Nevada Gaming Commission. Yeah, this company may be worldwide, but once they're banned from Vegas and Reno, they'll clean up their act really quickly.

  6. Re:Washington state is CHEATING! on Microsoft Puts Datacenter In a Barn · · Score: 2

    I want them to do it in Death Valley National Monument in August.

  7. Re:Can't Argue on NASA Names Best & Worst Sci-Fi Movies of All Time · · Score: 1

    Don't forget "Deep Impact" where the plucky survivors outrun a tsunami... on foot.

  8. Re:Bad attorney? Don't blame Novell. on Groklaw — Don't Go Home, Go Big · · Score: 1

    PJ isn't an attorney, she's a paralegal.

  9. Re:On the bright side... on Battle Escalates Between Airlines and Online Agents · · Score: 1

    Now add $50-60 for your checked baggage.

    How does SW compare now?

  10. Re:Bad Idea on 'No Refusal' DUI Checkpoints Coming To Florida? · · Score: 2

    This isn't a cop pulling you over for driving erratically. This is a checkpoint where they stop everyone.

    I'm not sure this would be an issue in CA, though, the CVC specifically states that driving provides "implied consent" to a BAC test.

  11. Re:SAIC and Spherion - really? Lost US taxes on Four IT Consultants Charged With $80M NYC Rip-Off · · Score: 1

    I suspect that almost all people who live in the USA outside of NYC would love to see NYC break off and float away.

  12. Re:Wow on YouTube Legally Considered a TV Station In Italy · · Score: 0

    Not a problem. YouTube doesn't "broadcast".

  13. Re:Yes, you are right on Should Colleges Ban Classroom Laptop Use? · · Score: 1

    We have passed our research on to the business school which requires students to have laptops, and faculty to pre-publish slides (because that is how the business world works) but they aren't interested in knowing.

    Because that is also how the business world works.

  14. Re:How Absurd on Does Typing Speed Really Matter For Programmers? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    But once you've thought about what you want, it helps to be able to touch type instead of hunt&peck. It lets you follow the path that much more smoothly.

    I'd say though, that it's not so much typing speed as much as the ability to touch type, no matter how fast, that matters.

  15. Re:This isn't helping. on Crookes, RIAA, MPAA, ICE — 'Linking Is Publishing' · · Score: 3, Informative

    Where do you get that he downloads? I read it as he doesn't buy new, he doesn't download, he just buys used.

    Off topic, but on a similar note, I used to have a Sony Discman that proudly boasted a "1-bit DAC".

    WTF is a 1-bit DAC?
