Does Jarvis get a new freckle every time he explains something to the Zuck family?
It was in my "Rock Lobster" revision of the A500. I'm not sure how early the Easter Egg started in the AmigaOS or how long it was allowed to continue in future revs. If you hit a certain key combination, you would get a message: "Amiga: Born a Champion." If you could manage to keep four fingers on the keyboard while pushing a floppy disk in with your big toe, the message would change to: "Amiga: We made it, they fucked it up." Obviously, a rebellion against Commodore taking over the brand.
Savages!
I can't speak to your other questions except the last one. You can get around email size limitations by uuencoding the attachment and splitting it into multiple files and the uudecoding them to merge them back into a single file. Software such as 7-zip will do this too. Back in the modem days it was a very useful tool to break up a file so a couple of failed deliveries wouldn't screw up the whole download. Just request the part you didn't get. I think Usenet still uses it for posting a file in multiple messages. As for email plugins that do this automatically, I don't know but it wouldn't surprise me if they exist.

100% Immune, eh? Mind that air-gap!
You must be new here. You forgot to add "Profit!"
If you mean free as in the users can freely access the source code and it will always remain in such a state, then the GPL is freer..
Is that "freer" as in "beer"?
a more accurate version of the original Nuclear War game can be done? The original version always seemed to side with Ronny Raygun.
I imagine frequency causing more damage in theory than duration or amplitude. If even a low-amplitude vibration happens to be at the resonant frequency of key components in the laptop that would most certainly be more damaging than violent shaking at a frequency the innards can tolerate.
I still need a desk which exists in my home-office. As for the desk phone? VPN access to the corporate VOIP network is all I need and a headset. I'm grateful to work for such a forward-thinking company which realizes many office norms are a thing of the past in the information age.
they could assemble the phone with their little hand and not involve child labor!
Shame on you all...
I've been playing video games since my dad brought a 2600 home at age three-four. In my adult years the gaming had waned but my interest in computers has never relaxed. For someone who never properly completed high school and college, I'd say I'm doing pretty well for myself now. I hate that kids these days hang out on skype, warcraft, and Facebook nowadays and don't do shit otherwise though; on the other hand, maybe a new market will open up for them in the future as it did for me...
