    So many loudness and annoying sounds, etc. Ugh(l(ee/y).

  8. Fiber is not more valuable/importANT than copper? on Some Londoners Cut Off As Failed Copper Thieves Take Fiber · · Score: 1

    Bah, I'd take fiber over copper for Internet connections. But then who would provide Internet for me?

    Hello Verizon FIOS that took over GTE? I am sick of your crappy phone systems on copper. Terrible connections with dial-up (lots of line noises and never go to faster than 26400-31200 speeds even on 56k modems), no DSL due to distances over 20K ft. from COs, etc. Frak your expensive limited wireless services. :(

  19. Re:I was a wearable tech pioneer on Wearable Tech is Advancing, but Isn't for Everyone Quite Yet (Video) · · Score: 1

    I am still wearing one (DB 150 model) these days since my high school days (early (19)90s), and people are still blown away like my old schoolness (19.5" Sharp CRT TV from 1996, VCR [interfacing with my desktop PC, DVR, TV, analog speakers, clicky keyboards like Model M, hates typing on touch screen keyboards, etc.] from my dotcom days, analog bone conduction hearing aid (refuse to get implants for digital), etc. I don't even own a mobile phone since I rarely talk and go out due to my disabilities.

    Casio doesn't even sell DB models anymore and they are impossible to find them these days ($159.99 on Amazon!). I also haven't found any good replacements. Smart watches require mobile phones which I don't want. I want something tiny, light, and useful on my thin wrists since I can't hold things in mid air easily. :(

  20. I am a day late, but here's my story! on Doom Is Twenty Years Old · · Score: 1

    I was a teen(ager) back then! I got it from a local BBS, but couldnâ(TM)t play it. My next door neighbor could on his 386 DX machine, but he had to study for finals so he only played a few levels. Haha. Years later, I made two DOOM 2 mod(ification)s: http://zimage.com/~ant/antfarm/files/doom2/j2doom/j2doom.html ⦠I think I played DOOM at 9600 speeds with my next door neighbor (we both had 14.4k modems! :().

    Does anyone remember what time DOOM 1 shareware was released to the public? I couldn't find that answer.
