  5. ESR responds on ESR Gets Job Offer From Microsoft · · Score: 1

    From his blog: http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=209#more-209
    To the extent I ended up "leading" or became a culture hero in that process, it was because the community desperately needed someone to do it and pulled me into the role, shaping me to fit in the process.

    Cultures need culture heroes -- and they'll create 'em if they don't pop up spontaneously. Note: the process can be damn rough on the candidate. And being the focus of so many peoples' dreams and aspirations is...well, it's terrifying at times. I used to have a lot of contempt for rock stars who couldn't handle the pressure and fucked up with drugs. Now I understand better. I've been through some awful, heartbreaking, soul-destroying shit on this job.


    A bit disconnected from reality?

    I'm with ya! Like somebody uses TCP/IP these days, good God people!
    I can't belive the nerve of these losers to compare this acient crap to all YOUR Earth shaking inventions and contributions to computer science. I shudder to think of a world devoid of your greatness.

  7. In addition on Walk on the Moon in IMAX 3D · · Score: 1

    This is cool.
    The U.S Space and Rocket Center has the G-Force attraction http://www.spacecamp.com/museum/attractions/mu_sim s1text.php that would couple with this very well. When I saw G-Force (many years ago) a film of a rocket launch was shown, on the ceiling, as you picked up more Gs. Not quit a perfect take-off simulation, but close. Being able to watch the I-Max after that attraction should be realy eye onpening.

  8. I have one. on simPC - Your Grandparents' New Computer? · · Score: 5, Funny

    It runs on a proprietary OS; and to prevent problems, users won't be able to install software, download big files, burn CDs or DVDs or edit videos.

    I just purchased an old Pentium Pro, MS-DOS box for $10 and it has all these features. Looks like my system was just ahead of its time.
