  1. Re:Yes on Windows 95 Turns 20 · · Score: 1

    Yep, my friends and I were in awe with it. We even uninstalled and reinstalled just to rewatch it. Haha. IIRC, Red Alert 1 had a cool DOS installer too, but not good as C&C:TD's. ALso, Windows version didn't have those. Only DOS installers!

    Haha, and then what happened? :D

  3. Re:You still go through HR for jobs? on Do Old Programmers Need To Keep Leaping Through New Hoops? · · Score: 1

    Ditto. I got a new within five/5 months after the layoff thanks to networking with people whom I used to work with.

  6. College! on Debian Founder: How I Came To Find Linux · · Score: 1

    However, I used UNIX through a borrowed CSUF's remote shell account before I even went to college with dial-up modems. I used mostly to FTP (e.g., ftp.cdrom.com) and Z-modem (still use this old school BBS' file transfer protocol!). After I started going to college, then I learned about Linux in c(lass/ours)es and from (nerd/geek)s. They were mostly on their local machines (labs) and still remotely (mostly dial-up). And then, I finally installed Red Hat (RH) Linux (v5?) on my own box (dual boot with Windows) after I graduated. I kept using RH until v7.2(?) since v8 sucked until Mouse(y) told me about Debian which I still use today. :)

  12. Re:Thoughts on The Promise of 5G · · Score: 1

    Heh, I still have that problem with 3G. I just want stabliblity (sometimes bad as 1X and nothing) and decent unlimited speeds with it.

  13. Re:Worst. Science. Writer. Ever. on Death Star Science: The Physics Of Destroying An Earth-Sized Planet · · Score: 1

    I don't even have a brain. Can I take it? :)

  25. Re:More proof... on Manipulating Microsoft WSUS To Attack Enterprises · · Score: 1

    This is why I never get the (lat/new)est stuff right away! I still use old stuff like Debian oldstable, unsupported Windows XP Pro SP3, Mac OS X v10.8.5, etc. because they all still work fine. I'll upgrade when I'm ready and forced.
