Well... we've been here since 1693, which is a pretty long track record for North America.

I'd be fine with that...if I got off at 4!

I was going to say, FINE! Fix it: keep DST all year round!

The dean of my local law school commented once that Law & Order is actually not bad as far as that goes--his comment was that whenever he'd think, "Objection!" an objection from one of the TV lawyers wouldn't be far behind.

Using time and money to create joy and whimsy is, and always will be, worthwhile. It's part of our humanity, all the arts, and a big swath of science and invention. I am glad we have people who do such things, and people who enjoy them, rather than everyone being a practical curmudgeon such as yourself, AC.

I've been reading the NLT Bible on the one-year plan (done tomorrow!) and the one that really surprised me was the reference to horse cocks.

In the 90's, the two expensive peripheral cards I bought were, respectively, a 3DFX Voodoo video card, right before they went out of business, and a GadgetLabs Wave 4/24 sound card, right before *they* went out of business. Cutting edge fail!

Hooray, Slashdot is news for ME!

SPOILER... It was "twin language" if I recall correctly.

Uh, oh. Leave it to some open source-oriented site to fork "Bohemian Rhapsody."

No, the other one is a real poster.

I had the floppy wrangling down to a science. I'd take over a row of stations in the 24-hour computer lab late at night, moving all but one rolling chair out of the way. Start one disk...next...next, rolling along, and by the time the last one was running the first one would be done. I had 19200 IVDM service at the apartment, so all I needed were A, AP, and N, and I'd go get the rest @ home.

Seconded. And I'm flattered!

I know about the VAXbar. Microvaxen are too small. Maybe it would do for picnics.
