I've got a red WE2500 phone, because cold war hotline, fuck yeah. Somewhere I also have one I found that had an arabic keypad. But alas, my hard voice line is gone, replaced by UVerse VoIP. On the other hand, at least now I get CNID for free. I refused to pay 2 bucks a month extra for that all these years.

And feet, why do we still bother to walk now that we invented the wheel! I mean, look at the Daleks, they went with wheels millennia ago!

...and if your server goes away and you get another server, you can move the offline copy of your old mail to your new server. Some of my oldest e-mails are from when I was using Outlook on Mac OS 8 or so. I was able to use IMAP to move them to newer servers.

I also have a bunch of old AOL messages, but I had to go to great lengths to decode their "cabinet" format (which was a total WTF) to extract them.

It is still a long-term goal of mine to use a microcontroller to make a USB Model M.

Yes, I know you can buy new keyboards with USB interfaces, made by the same people. Or that you can get a PS2/USB converter. It's not the same as having a genuine surplus Model M with a native USB interface.

I still use non-beta Slashdot. (11 months so far since beta dropped like a stinky turd!)

Holy crap, I didn't realize that they took gopher support out of Mozilla Seamonkey at least two years ago. Now the Gopher servers have to support HTTP over port 70 to be usable by mere mortals. But I have a 2.0.14 from 2011 running on an old PPC 10.5 system and it still supports gopher:// URLs. So all is not lost.

So is gopher.quux.org now the only gopher server left in the entire universe?

And none of that newfangled ZZ to exit crap. It's :wq for me forever, bay-bay. vi has a command line and it should be respected.

But in Soviet Russia, glorious President would have launched satellite with his own bear hands!

I wouldn't call it a software error if it was "programmed for the wrong orbit". That sounds more like a human error to me. But to be fair, TFA doesn't state that in such specific words.

The start of burning man was delayed by rain.

After that oil well break in the Gulf of Mexico, the EPA wouldn't even allow a ship which would suck in oily water and spit out less oily water, because the less oily water had oil in it. You think they're going to allow anybody to put seawater sludge from desalination back into the sea?

As opposed to Ada and an implicit conversion?

...then switch to SeaMonkey
