p.s., when Santa Clara (first college in CA) first offered a B.S., it was a watered down BA, not requiring as much Latin & Greek, but otherwise the same . . . (yes, this was the 19th century, and a BA still required calculus & physics . .
The "glory years" identified were my Jr & Sr years of high school . . .
The "other" things in circulation at the time were largely either supplements to the the original booklets (and supplements), such as Arduinn, Spellcaster's Bible, and Runequest (farther removed), or completely orthogonal, such as Travellers & Runequest (also TSR).
A bit of this, a bit of that, a few articles from Dragon, and so forth.
And the moronic arguments as to which system handled dragon breath more "realistically", for crying out loud. D&D (blast goes off in the middle of people, but the second row doesn't get shielded from the first) or something goes off between two people, but one takes half as much damage as if the other wasn't there (Arduin)

Straight out of high school, I ended up as the first employee of a startup in '82.
Both of the principals were recent college graduates (same school I was headed to), and were quite clear that they would be selling out, as they had "no idea" how to run a large company.

Ehh, I think that's on Sprint, not Apple . . .
Not that I'm annoyed that I can't get a Sprint signal at my regular courthouse, and end up roaming on Verizon . . .

Please point to the fascists riddling the current Ukrainian government.
Members of Svoboda, the neo-Nazi inspired party formerly known as the "Social-National Party of Ukraine", hold several government posts: Oleksandr Sych, Vice Prime Minister; Andriy Mokhnyk- Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources; Ihor Shvayka, Minister of Agriculture.
Svoboda is so far right that just three years ago there was a move to have the party banned nationwide: http://www.kyivpost.com/conten...
I think, but am not certain, that all the MFM were full height. I remember half-height floppies, though.

Keyboard phones sound good on paper but when people actually tried them the reality hit home.
Yes, and the reality is that if you are someone who works with text -- a programmer, a sysadmin, a writer -- a keyboard phone completely fscking rocks, putting a remote terminal/text editor device in your pocket. I can sit at the bar and work on an essay, or ssh in to the server at work for a quick bug fix or server restart. (Yes, it's nice to have a tablet or laptop or desktop but those don't fit into my pocket.) "Swipe" keyboards are useless. You can have my Epic 4G when you pry it from my cold dead hands...or replace it with another phone with a hardware keyboard. There is no substitute.
Yeah, but why bother when you can just rent the current occupants and save the hassle of campaigning and having to actually show up in DC a few days a year?
Didn't you overlook working Benghazi in somewhere as well?
Do you prefer Reynolds Wrap or Alcoa when fashioning your chapeau?
...for the beginning of President Biden's administration (which could last until mid-January of 2025) somewhat surprising.
I've been a Slashdot reader and account holder since the days of the Halloween Papers, so I figure what I want out of this site counts for as much as what you want out of it.
You can ignore a story about which you don't care much more easily than I can read one that never gets posted.
If you can see it from public property and tell what it is, it's (effectively) in the public domain, isn't it?
It may be practically difficult to prevent that information from getting out to people who want it, but that doesn't make it legal to do so. Plenty of governments continue to try keeping stuff secret even when there's no real hope of doing so.
The hardest part of climbing the ladder of success is getting through the crowd at the bottom.
