by Moby Games I should have read that page more carefully. Developer was Titan Computer Products and it was published by EduWare Services, Inc. It was designed and written by Wes Huntress. Wes and others started Electric Transit when EduWare Services was bought by Management Sciences America.
Actually, I seem to remember playing some space shuttle sim in the 90's. Can't remember the name for the life of me, though. Well, Rendezvous: A Space Shuttle Flight Simulation (yeah, the Internet Movie Database lists games too) by Moby Games came out in 1982 for the Apple II and the Atari. It's possible you could have played it in the 1990s, but there may have been a better shuttle simulator than that one available by then.
Written in AppleSoft BASIC and Atari BASIC, I wonder if its code could be adjusted to give faster framerates in a cranked-up Apple II or Atari emulator.
XYXO variant Turner's Syndrome would be more likely than mosaicism and doesn't require your superheroic efforts to explain the production of gametes with Y chromosomes. Yeah, but suggesting Mary gave birth to her own fraternal-twin brother Jesus was just too tempting to pass up.
Jesus Christ! That's pretty amazing! To produce a male offspring by parthenogenesis, the mother would have to be a chimera formed between her and a fraternal twin, and somehow produced an egg from the male-chimeric half's cells, which then underwent parthenogenesis.
Now the probabilities are approaching miraculous.
Of course, that would mean that Jesus was genetically Mary's twin brother.
Actually their end goal is to charge everyone per second for every media playback, whistled/hummed tune, movie reference/quote, looking at a sign advertising their media, up to and including every personal thought about their media. So put in your earplugs, put on your eyeshades, you know where to put the cork.
I've always known the end-goal for all media companies is pay-per-play, every single time. TV Gunfighter: All right, pilgrim, give me yer dough. Lot's of it. Kid watching TV: Mo-om! The pay-TV people want more money again!
Actually, the worst instance was when the Firehose was automatically paused for inactivity for awhile. I expanded one article, and everything got flushed away as the pause was released.
I guess an alternative would be to take the user to the page where the most recently opened item ended up and have it still be open. Could that be done in-place without refreshing to a new URI?
It would be nice if stories that I have opened to read would not scroll off when more come through or fall off the 'hose or disappear because someone else voted it down below my filter setting. At least, not within the first two minutes of opening it. It happens before I have a chance to decide to click "Read more" to open in a new tab, and some (like bookmarks) have no "Read more" option.
Wait, maybe I'm wrong about SACD. According to the wiki:
There seems to be one solution for obtaining digital non-DRM output on SACD as well as DVD-A players. A Switzerland-based company is offering a modified output-board that taps into the digital datastream prior to D/A conversion as well as converting DSD to PCM that the S/PDIF port can transfer.[3]

You have a CED VideoDisc player? Is it a Zenith? What movies do you have? It's a Montgomery Ward unit, model GEN 10301, manufactured October 1981 F. The movies I got with it are King Kong, The War of the Worlds, and whatever unlabeled disk was still in it without a caddy (don't know as it won't play). Apparently there was a cabled remote, but it didn't arrive with it. Mono and composite RCA out, RF out, ANT in, and an unfamiliar Stereo jack with four pins above the 8-pin remote jack.
Except, I heard that the ATAPI signal for Eject is the same as the ATA signal for Low-Level Reformat
Citation needed.
Unfortunately I don't have one. I may have it confused with something else, and it was so long ago that the source may have even ceased to be correct.
Ah well, I'll be keeping a backup just in case anyway.

Frankly, I haven't seen any ads promoting HD-DVD or Blu-Ray apart from ads for movies coming out on one or the other or both formats in addition to DVD. Where's the evangelizing to the public on TV of one format over the other directly? How about ads from the player manufacturers?
I do however see HD ads for HD programming on DirecTV (using rescripted scenes from movies not out yet on HD-DVD or Blu-Ray, like Back to the Future and Aliens!).
But that hasn't swayed me to DirecTV either. I can record broadcast HD off cable to my computer and edit it, but I doubt any DirecTV hardware would permit that.

I'd say Blu-Ray. It's holds more, it uses Java (instead of that thing MS developed for HD-DVD), it has a larger installed base at this point, has a cooler name, is backed by Apple, etc. I haven't upgraded to Final Cut Studio 2 yet, but in the previous version, it only supported HD-DVD, not Blu-Ray.
And BTW, Betamax lacked one critical advancement VHS had: longer record time. VHS soon made up the quality difference. Those who choose recording capacity over quality deserve neither capacity nor quality... or maybe it's the other way 'round?
Except in digital formats without differing bitrate caps, capacity and quality trend together... where something else would have to... decide the....
Um, how tolerable is the layer change in the two formats, and how often?

Normal DVD- cracked DRM, Hasn't HD-DVD and Blu-Ray already been cracked repeatedly, with BD+ protection as yet untested in the market?
and most people still don't have HD. You can get VGA monitors with better than HD resolution. My 21" screen is driven at 2048x1536 (QXGA), more than enough for 1920x1080p, and at less than half the price of most dual-link DVI displays (WQXGA: 2560×1600).
Still being compatible with my KVM switch and the legacy machines on it is a plus.

Yeah, the rest of us download our movies. To HDD-VDs? (Hard Disk Drive-Video Drive)
I actually have an old cheap DVD player whose drive died that I've been thinking about installing a swappable HDD bay and formatting a drive as if it were a very high capacity DVD, for example containing the complete run of The X-Files on one drive.
Except, I heard that the ATAPI signal for Eject is the same as the ATA signal for Low-Level Reformat, and I wonder if I need an abstraction layer in hardware between the drive and interface to protect the data.
