Not only various other variations of this (my first PC in particular only had 448kB of RAM, and only 64kB of that was on the mainboard) but my first computer that ran Linux was a 386DX25 with 8MB of RAM and a 120MB disk. And while I threw it away recently, I used to have an iOpener with some kind of rinkydink Linux with an ancient browser on it in just 32MB of disk. ISTR it having 16MB RAM. If anyone would like the wizztronics adapter, I have one here along with a low-profile cooler that fits inside the iOpener's case and is probably worth more than either the machine or the adapter board.

Yeah, if you insist on just dragging the slower members of your team, you're going to have to work pretty hard. If you helped them become more like you, then they would do better at pulling their own weight. And it's clear that just dragging them isn't going to make that happen, at least not quickly. Sure, they may eventually become resentful, but who wants to wait? Maybe there's a better way.

I got four model 135s for free and gave them away to another Tivoli employee (at the time) for the same price. I wonder if they ever got used or if they hit the scrap heap. They were cool but they were too big. If they were PS/2 sized I might still have them

That's what being a child is. When you grow up, you realize that if you just do whatever you want, there are eventually consequences. We create the world we live in. Time to grow up, and act like it.

Ahh, rocket launcher. No wonder. Anyway their download link doesn't work, but you led me to the filename, so https://www.quaddicted.com/fil...

Even in academia, did the PC/RT even count? They sold minimal numbers of the things. The only place I've even ever seen them was in Austin... deep IBM-land.

The trouble with that argument is that it relies on the stronger members having enough economic power to actually do that. It's circular arguments all the way down.

And the toxins don't get into some of these organisms without the beads, which is why the beads are a problem. You don't get to pretend the toxins don't exist. Also, the plastics themselves produce toxins when they decompose.

These are the bioaccumulative compounds of primary concern, you are full of shit as there are plenty more.

The so-called "maker movement" shows us where the interest comes from: the fringe that wants what isn't already available in the mainstream. If you want something that doesn't already exist, then you can assemble it from other devices. The focus has just moved again. Now it's easy and cost-effective for people to do hardware projects without being EEs by just buying modules off the shelf and hooking them up with jumper wires.

They only publicize the studies that say what they want to say. Occasionally the media finds eyeballs in another study and slaps it around, but in general you hear the most about what they want you to hear about.

If you can make a constitution, you can make another one.

Get together and make them do it again until you have rights.

Mind you, we need to do the same here in the states.

The problem with that argument is that the economic condition enjoyed by the stronger nations is built upon the exploitation of the poorer ones. You don't get to complain about how poorly someone is doing at treading water while you step on their head.

If it's a zip 100, I have a drive... never got up to 250s. would you like usb, scsi, or ata?

I was hoping to find a link to a quake mod that lets you fire dobermans out of your shotgun, but I can't track it down now, so I'm posting in the hope that someone else will know where to find it instead.

It's not insane, it's evil. Big, big difference.
