Now replacing my brute force wordlists with "He's dead, Jim", "In soviet russia, passphrases validate YOU" and "passwords are for old korean people" will allow root access to 90% of the internet.

Kirk: "I'm just lucky that thing had knees"
"Those were not his knees, captain. Not everyone keep their genitals in the same place"
Just a thought, but the problem set of mirroring wikipedia seems remarkably similar to that of the DNS system. Maybe the bind team could come up with something...
Too bad nothing ever became of it commercially. Maybe you could license the patents and charge a few k for one... big advantage would be being able to run it off an open fire or concentrated sunlight instead of just electricty.
Oh no, I've brough shame upon my very name with "keybaord". Trying to think of some more examples of quality-over-everything engineering, I remembered this enormous Rockwell table saw from the '70s my high school wood shop had, still with the original motor and happily able to rip 6" beams.
Perhaps also the HP Laserjet 4 and 5 printer lines
Actually, there is a better keybaord than the Model M: The M13, with all the same heavy steel & plastic construction you've come to love, buckling-spring keyswitches, and to top it all off, a laptop-style nipple mouse.
Liability, Liability, Liability. If the in game items have value in the real world, they could be held responsible for losses despite the service agreement disclaimers. In the real world, you can't sue God if an asteroid flattens your house.
Well, one day it died altogether, so I could finaly extract my sweet revenge for all those OS installs. A 900F air flow to the back side for a few minutes and a little shaking left me with a nice, smooth 8x11 red PCB with pretty wire traces and a big bucket 'o sockets.
Also, sorry about skipping the break tabs, I was in too much of a rush to preview while reliving the joy of destruction.
1999: Power Supply
2003: Athlon XP, due to my heatsink installing n00bness
2004: Soyo Motherboard, suspected power surge. The system shut down during a thunderstorm and never came back up. The proc, PS, and all other components were fine. I've checked for blown caps & scorched or melted chips but haven't seen anything. Still keeping it in storage if anyone has ideas.
2005: Cheap ass PCChips motherboard dies after months of weird failure, probably in the hard drive controller, that corrupted a windows system file and forced reinstallation after every reboot. Gleefully spent an hour in the basement with a hot-air gun rendering it down into a new clipboard.
It might have worked in the 60's before society was hugely invested in MOS microchip technology. Nowadays, unless you're launching from the south pole, congratulations on breaking everything. For more information on the effect of nuclear blasts in space, look up the Starfish test shot. And even that one took the Hawiian power grid offline.
Actually, ever since FDR bitchslapped the supreme court, the commerce clause has been steadily re-interpreted to where it provides the justification for a huge number of things the federal government does that it really doesn't have the authority to. The watershed is case was 1942's Wickard v. Filburn, where the court upheld fines on a farmer who grew more wheat than his quota allowed, even though he only used it to feed animals on his own farm, because if he had not grown the wheat himself he would have had to buy it, possibly from another state.

He's obviously added another layer of depth to the joke by counting in base one.

Being both micro and soft, they could really use it too.

Maybe you'd be interested in joining this thread about the general suckness of modern appliances.
Yeah, but between stuffing it into a toyota corolla, and later carry it up a flight of stairs, it took revenge and then some

Find a bunch of the old fogies from Western Electric to help you out with that, please. God, those old monopoly phones were immortal.
Thank God I'm not the only one, then.
Who dares wake me from my subpontic domain?

Was it a sony? I ended up just buying a new case.

Once you've seen the gooey orange stuff, you'll be thankful for mere hairballs.

Oh no no no, you can't possibly top Granpa Simpson's "I'm horny! Take me to Grandma's World!"
