Woulda been funny if someone took an old 8086 IBM PC to a LANparty years ago.
"OMG hai guyz wanna play CGA Star Wars?"
Having a luggable desktop was nice if you were in on the LANparty scene. Shuttle made a name for itself during and after this time period. Now of course you can get SFF PCs and smaller that will run circles around anything from 20+ years ago. Many of those SFF PCs and NUCs built themselves on the shoulders of LANparty innovators.
ipx kinda sucked, don't miss it. I do miss DFI Lanparty motherboards though.
whew, he used the wrong word, so I don't have to think about what he said.
That was a close one!
The article doesn't link footage at all. It only shows stills. Where is it?
This reminds me of the sentencing of the "January 6 insurrection" guilty pleas. As I (a non-lawyer) understand it...
Regardless of whether you consider it an insurrection or a protest march petitioning the government for redress of grievances...
In the wake of the events, the fed busted a bunch of the participants and left them rotting in prison for months (over a year), with no end in sight. In many cases this left families with no breadwinner, enormous legal costs, and expectations of losing all their property as part of some eventual conviction.
Then the prosecutors offered some of the defendants a plea deal; Plead guilty to a misdemeanor or short-sentence felony and we'll drop any other charges.
Rule of thumb: a misdemeanor generally is a crime with a max sentence of no more than a year in prison, a felony more than a year - which is why you see "year and a day" max sentences on some crimes. An accused person already in prison for over the max sentence would expect that accepting the deal would result in immediate release with "credit for time served" (and others near the max might expect release much sooner). So some of them went for it.
Came the sentencing some judges applied a two-year sentence enhancements for "substantial interference with the 'administration of justice.'" OOPS! No release for you.
I'd expect them to pull the same sort of thing on Assange if he were foolish enough to plead guilty to anything, no matter how minor.
(By the way: This particular form of the practice, as used on the Jan6 participants, was just recently struck down. But the decision was based on Congress' certification of the presidential election not qualifying as "administration of justice.'" So this wouldn't apply to whatever enhancement trick they might pull on Julian.
I don't know what you heard, but baby cells can only stay baby cells, they can't become mommy cells,
Sez who?
There's been evidence for some time that post-pregnancy mothers often have clones of stem cells derived from the previous foetus. Sure such a clone would likely start out with its epigenitc programming set for whatever function it had in the baby's development (unless, say, some error in its differentiation is what led to it migrating to the woman's body to set up shop). But once established on the mother's side of the placental barrier, and especially after the birth, the stem cell clone can be expected to continue to run its program under direction of the growth factors in the mother's blood.
That amounts to a transplant of younger stem cells which could be expected to produce differentiated cells for tissue growth and replacemtnt,, with the aging clock set farther back and with some genes from the father to provide "hybrid vigor", filling in for defective genes in the mother's genome or adding variant versions of molecular pathways.
Cable companies and telcos have been lying about (or misrepresenting) Internet services for years, and worse. Yet some little company in Ohio takes the fall? Please.
That's great. How long can those reactors last? How many MW are they cranking out right now?
Seems like corrosion is still a problem for most molten salt reactor designs.
Host your own ads instead of trusting a third party won't insert something malicious deliberately or through incompetence.
How does the publisher of a newly launched website go about seeking advertisers to advertise on that website without going through a network or exchange?
