  1. Re:IBM PS/2 Model 30 on Ask Slashdot: What Was Your First Home Computer? · · Score: 1

    Wow, I had that computer too, but it was my third one after Texas Instrument 99/4A and Apple //c. It was my first IBM PC that led to keep using today for DOS, Windows, etc. My king ant also got me a Zoom internal model for it. I got addicted to the online world like BBSes and Prodigy before the Internet.

  2. TI-99/4A! on Ask Slashdot: What Was Your First Home Computer? · · Score: 1

    My parents bought it for me to learn how to use a computer and type due to my disabilities when I was like seven years old or so. I was scared of it. And then, I found out it can do computer games since I was a video gamer (Atari 2600 and arcades). And then I totally love computers after that as shown in my http://zimage.com/~ant/antfarm... history. ;)

  3. More! on It's Official: Apple is Testing Self-Driving Cars · · Score: 1

    Also, unable to mod, change inside, etc. :(

    Same when working in the office. I was in both situations. :(

  5. Re:Not just programmers. on For Programmers, the Ultimate Office Perk is Avoiding the Office Entirely (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    You're welcome. Also, being old doesn't help. :(

  6. Re:Not just programmers. on For Programmers, the Ultimate Office Perk is Avoiding the Office Entirely (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    Just do the same search like everyone else. It also helps to network with people that already know you. The hard part is having new people accomodate. :(

  7. Not just programmers. on For Programmers, the Ultimate Office Perk is Avoiding the Office Entirely (qz.com) · · Score: 2

    Other areas like SQA testers. I loved my 1.5 years Cisco contract job to work from home because of my disabilities (e.g., can't drive, speak, hear, etc.). It was perfect!

  8. With an ad blocker?

  9. Re:What if you don't dream? on Scientists Identify Parts of Brain Involved In Dreaming (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    For me, I am always dreaming even in naps. :(

  12. Re:Stuff from our past, when we grew up... on Die-Hard Sysops Are Resurrecting BBS's From The 1980s (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Couldn't the modems be muted back then with ATM0 command?

  13. Re:Ahhh, the memories on Die-Hard Sysops Are Resurrecting BBS's From The 1980s (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    I'd love to see a follow-up/sequel of it.

  14. Yes, when I have to go to the restroom due to my old body!

    Also, I like to control what I am watching like rewind, fast forward (FF), skip, etc.

  15. I wished Apple would get Woz in it since he still alive. He had good technical vision. Maybe Apple should hire me since I am unemployed and unhappy with what Apple is doing right these days.

  16. Re:Redesign on Google Maps Adds 'Ms. Pac-Man' Feature (blog.google) · · Score: 1

    Whoosh!

  17. For me, I like to watch at home to avoid the crowds, save money, be able to control (pause, rewind, fast forward/skip, etc.), etc.

  24. Re:No, it's the hour in the middle you can skip on Hollywood Producer Blames Rotten Tomatoes For Convincing People Not To See His Movie (vanityfair.com) · · Score: 1

    I noticed I get impatient so I use skip/fast forward in the stuff I watch. I wished I could do that in theaters including rewinding, pause, etc.

  25. Security hole. on Boy, 4, Uses Siri To Help Save Mum's Life (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Using finger to access the device. :P Imagine an exploiter wanting to do the same. :/
