If they included the Commodore VIC-20, it would be the Internet of Toys. According to my seventh grade Apple ][ instructor, the VIC-20 is a toy and not a "real" computer.
When I was in school in the early 1980's, the history textbooks stopped before Vietnam and Watergate. My fellow classmates were content that history stopped before they were born, and didn't care about what came afterward. I was always bothered by history being missing like that. College did a much better job on current history since the publishers needed to change something each year to charge higher prices for new editions and undermine the used textbook market.
Don't forget to cash out your life savings for a luxury sports car so you can qualify for financial aid to the best schools and still look rich to your classmates.
It could have been worse. Robert Jordan wrote several Wheel of Time books that only cover a few days that didn't advanced the overall continuity that much. After reading all 14 books, I don't want to read that series ever again.
Stephen King found himself in such a pickle to explain several continuity errors in his Dark Tower series that he wrote himself in as a character. Not the first time he wrote about an author being confronted by one of his own characters.
I once came across an old IBM Token Ring card with an Intel 80186 processor. The successor to the 8086/8088 processor was meant for microcontroller applications and incompatible with the future direction of the IBM PC.
As an I.T. support contractor for ten years, I'm not allowed to work more than 40 hours per week. None of the Fortune 500 companies wants to pay overtime.
Why pay $60 per video game when Steam will eventually have them on sale for $5 or less? I can get 12 older games for the price of a brand new game. Video cards are no different.
If you're going to repeat a political meme, try to get it half-way right. The number tossed around is 92 million, which includes children in school and retired people who are not expected to be working at this stage of life. That number will get BIGGER as the largest post-WW2 generation — a.k.a., Baby Boomers, the ME generation — retires over the next 20 years. Taxes will have to go up substantially to pay for everything else as two-thirds of the federal budget will go to Social Security and Medicare. This is why Republicans are always advocating the repeal of child labor laws and Social Security. Need to get those slackers off the government dole and back to work!
I once worked for a Fortune 500 company that refused to train and certified employees because they were afraid that they would quit and get a better paying job with a competitor. Never mind that the lacked of training and certification by the company caused many employees to get certified on their own and get a better paying job with a competitor anyway.
The article doesn't explain which compression algorithm is being used. It may very well be the zip compression format..NET has a in-memory compressor that uses the zip compressor.
A solid state drive (SSD) has no disk, but a collection of memory chips. So whatever compression it use must be memory compression. It can't be disk compression.

That's even worse.
Newton OS + smart phone = dumb phone
I wrote some long BASIC programs that ran out the memory on the VIC-20 and the memory card. Didn't have that problem with the Commodore 64.

Another monthly payment on top of everything else. Thanks, Verizon!

If you got a Z80 processor lying around, you can get a CP/M clone under the GNU license.

Throwing Linux on the PCs and letting users figure it out isn't a proven strategy.
Yet -- the programmers I know are all over 40 and can code rings around anyone at any Silicon Valley company. Literally.
What do you expect from a Logo programmer?

Not just X years of programming experience, but X years in a new technology that came out just six months ago.

I'll wait five years to pick up this card for $50 and buy this year's video games for $5 each on Steam.

The last time I dealt with sprites was programming eight-bit graphics on my Commodore 64.

You must not like brain teasers.

That's disk compression not memory compression.
What is it when a Solid State Drive (SSD) is used?
