True, that is why we don't put documents through washing and drying cycles.
I once gave a check to friend because I owed him money. He left the check in his jean pocket, put it through the washer and dryer. The check was fine except that the ink was completely washed out.
I don't see your point.
I was thinking wearable electronics. Sprayed on memory is a natural fit (pun intended). The problem with wearable electronics is the washer and dryer cycles.
I'm reading "Chaos Monkeys: Obscene Fortune and Random Failure in Silicon Valley" by Antonio Garcia Martinez. The author and his two engineers leave the startup they worked at to create a startup at Y Combinator to create a better version of the Digg toolbar (remember toolbars?) for Google advertisers in 2010. I'm at the part where they get served with an intellectual property lawsuit, as one of the engineers wrote half of the code base at old startup. Fun times.
But you're still apparently clueless if you left the Republican Party over anti-Semitism.
Re-read my original comment. I wrote "stupidity" of the Republican Party. Any party that takes pride in and makes ignorance a virtue is a party not worth voting for.
My next PC same bundled with a Lucent WinModem around 1997. Those modems were hated for some reason,[...]
WinModems were software-based (i.e., the PC CPU did all the work) and Windows-only compatible. Regular modems were hardware-based and could operate with Linux, Mac or Windows. If you were running a BBS, you wanted a hardware-based modem.
As a liberal, 'hate' is too kind a word for how I feel about the hypocritical bs shown by the Democrats.
You mean like the Senate Democrats giving the Supreme Court nominee a fair committee hearing instead of boycotting the committee hearing as some liberals have advocated?
I prefer government that works. The Senate Democratic did their job. If you think that's hypocritical, then you're part of the problem.
I guess Python 3 finally went mainstream. A Python 2 asshat took me to task because I only have Python 3 installed on my system, all my Python code is in Python 3, and, when I couldn't find an easy to use automation tool in Python 3, I used Ant (Java) instead.
I'm probably a JOAT. I understand broad concepts but I never got into the nitty gritty of anything. That drives recruiters up the wall because I'm willing to do anything and that makes it difficult for them to pigeonhole me beyond being an enterprise-level technician. I've done software testing for virtual worlds and video games, help desk/desktop support, PC refresh projects, built out a data center, hardware testing on 11AC-equipped laptops, and, currently, InfoSec remediation.
MUDs like BatMUD (still around) were there in the early 90s, I started playing 92. There were hundreds of others, and yes it was very much in the Internet.
I never got into the MUD scene. Probably for the same reasons I never got into MMORPG scene. I just don't have the time.
Sure, they could tell the difference with a 9-pin printer in draft mode, but a 24 pin NLQ or daisywheel?
Fan fold paper was not always the same quality or have the sharp edges as regular paper. Typewritten pages are likely to have evidence of ink out or correction tape.
The only air raid siren I hear is the alarm on my iPad 2 going off at 4:30AM so I can start my government IT job at 7:00AM during the week. On the weekends I sleep in late and get up at 6:30AM.
I went through three Commodore 64 systems during a ten-year period (1984-94) as a student in school and college. I had to send my floppy drive out to repair once during that time period, as the built power supply went bad. I also had a green monochrome monitor and a NLQ dot matrix printer. I had an electronic typewriter that survived all three C64s because instructors wouldn't accept print outs since wordprocessors turned students into lazy writers. Yes, I did copy and paste with rubber cement when revising my typed papers.
The internet was not "BBS's", and neither was it "AOL".
The Internet prior to 1995 was the like the dial-up UNIX account I had in 1995. I could telnet into other systems (typically a university mainframe), transfer files from a university ftp server (the early days of shareware and Linux distributions), or give someone the finger.
The point is, you spoke as if the internet "came along" in around 1994, but it had 3 million hosts and over 10 million users by then.
As I pointed out to someone else, when the public at large becomes aware of a technology it has already existed for at least ten years or longer. The technology for TVs existed in the 1920s but didn't become a consumer item until the 1950s. One could argue that TV's didn't exist prior to the 1950's.

Beige. Seriously, I missed the beige PC boxes. Especially the InWin beige boxes.
Works with Python. Cool! What does it do?

I'm skeptical, but if true I'm sure the Republicans don't miss a Democratic partisan shithead like you.
Without moderate conservatives in the Congress, the Republicans are going to have a hard time rubbing two nickels together (see healthcare bill).
Ignoring the last 16 years of Schumer and Reid and claiming the Democrats are good guys is proof positive you are a fucking moron.
That's your opinion, not mine.

I doubt this book will replace Startup: A Silicon Valley Adventure by Jerry Kaplan as my favorite Silicon Valley startup book.

What will happen to the government when the weight of "doing their jobs" rests entirely on the minority party?
The tail (minority party) gets to wag the dog (majority party).

If you agree with them they are your friend, if you have a differing opinion they hate you.
As the old saying goes, "With friends like these who need enemies."

while you were fretting over muh ideology, the joos took over this country. just now they have brought us very close to ww3
fuck you cuck
This is why I'm not a Republican anymore.
As a moderate conservative, I hate the stupidity that has become the Republican Party.

I assure you some of us are a master of quite a few.
I'm a master of cleaning up other people's messes. A valuable skill in IT.
I think the translation I heard more clearly reveals the meaning. Think a feudal society.
Yours is probably the third variation of this proverb that I've read on Slashdot.
I doubt any sprayed on material will last ten years from routine washing and drying cycles.

You sure about that?
It was 20+ years ago.
Also, some of us got out and found jobs, mowing yards or scooping snow or whatever to buy a 9600 or 14.4!
I was working minimum wage and paying the rent.
We were users first and learned the ropes, became SYSOPs and helped others learn.
Been there, done that. For one year.

2400 in 94/95? Dude, your BBS sucked!
BBSes with 2400 modems weren't uncommon in Silicon Valley at that time.
