Oh, and you asked a specific question. It's number 95 on the periodic table, and was discovered in 1944.

It's not. It's the mysterious element makes smoke detectors work. I've been hoarding it for years hoping for exactly this kind of breakthrough.

So? In that era memory protection simply wasn't a critical consideration. Programs were written closer to the hardware back then; TRS-80s didn't have it, Apple IIs didn't have it, and Commodore 64s didn't have it, yet there are niche options for each of those platforms on the Web today. There were efforts to bring memory protection to the Amiga back in the 90s. Wasn't that a feature of OS4? And even if it wasn't, continued development will likely lead to such memory protection.

There's nothing wrong with a developmental niche like this exploring alternatives. It's like using a Raspberry Pi for development, or organizing a Linux distribution with a specific, though obscure purpose. The very process of updating a functional, lightweight environment like AmigaOS using modern software tools and running it on modern hardware could yield insights that would benefit computing in a wider range. Will AmigaOS return to any sort of prominence? Very unlikely, but it suits the needs of a few, dedicated computing hobbyists.

Shut up and go back to your half-assed hockey-sticks, Michael!

While I doubt she'll get far in the primaries, I hope she sticks with the issue -- she might be able to get it to the Democratic party's platform in exchange for her endorsement.

Oh, please. She's a stopped clock; occasionally right.

Yeah, I've seen Deep Dream images. Puppy eyes and muzzles all over her fetus is just what every expectant mother wants to see.

Nickel is an essential nutrient. Without it, you'd be quite dead. Large quantities of it may be dangerous, but as Paracelsus pointed out: "It's the dose that makes the poison", and that's pretty much true of everything that's good for you.

Draw. I used it a lot in conferences. I could generate a new picture from within Hangouts, then post it to one or more participants. If there was a need for updates, any one of the participants could draw on the same picture and re-post it. That went away without any explanation last fall.

How much are refill cartridges, and can I buy third-party refill kits?

To further that, anyone using Chrome could have all their browsing activity monitored by Google regardless of script and ad-blocking software ... especially if you're synchronizing accounts between work, school, and home.

Color me skeptical, but I'm still waiting for Page Oriented Holographic Memory. I'm looking at you January 1991 issue of Byte Magazine! You got my hopes up and still no trillions of bits on a microscope slide.

The story is about Prime-related links that are causing Amazon customers trouble.

I just used PrimeVideo whilst eating lunch to continue my rewatch of Star Trek: Enterprise. The interface is all messed up and it took me a few clicks more than usual to get to what I wanted, but once there, the site streamed flawlessly. So that much is working, at least.
