I noticed the decline about three years ago, which was about the peak of user interaction. That was probably the point of max data, when you could use it to look up just about any classmate or former co-worker you were curious about and see pictures of their kids and where they were going to be. Then people stopped being stupid, more and more profiles became private or friends-only, facebook started requiring a login to even see content on their site, real names were required and dubious names autodeleted (including mine), and people started cancelling accounts. Then there was a movie. RIP The Facebook, you hardly knew me.

This is why snapchat was worth $3B to Yahoo, you install it on your phone, where it can vacuum up your real contacts and other data from your phone and send it along to the server. If you don't put in your real name, someone else has.

Unfortunately, the only format they released the ROMs in is one huge ZIP file. Even the torrent, where torrent software might have allowed picking-and-choosing individual ROM files, is only the ridiculous 42.8GB ZIP.

I'm still looking for a list of files, but for that size, it might be EVERY MAME ROM in the MAME database of over 7000 ROMS.

You really are going to tell people they need to install a different OS to see your bloated site?

You are wrong, I can execute an order for $1.3million right now on Mtgox for 1244BTC, just one exchange, and not even drop the price below $1000.

All those payment systems you list are the dodgy ones, Bitcoin is not. Scammers can dispute or chargeback funds, or just use stolen numbers or accounts to defraud. It is the Bitcoins that are trustable once you've received them.

Texas Instruments TI-30X IIS ($14) or the TI-36X Pro ($20). The 30 is a scientific and statistics calculator, whereas the 36x adds the vector math and constants, and a few basic solvers.

• The TI-30XIIS scientific calculator is approved for use on SAT*, ACT*, and AP* exams.
• NCEES: Any Texas Instruments calculator must contain either TI-30X or TI-36X in its model name

Daddy lets you look at a slideshow, spot the magically appearing star. Boy genius!

Is it odd that the "root of maths genius" is actually the inverse function of multiplying two maths geniuses together?

WTF? TL;DR.

Good for IT people to know about real threat of drive-encrypting ransomware, old news though.

Yup, that's what I was thinking too, every book purchase includes a free drone.

Yep, this tech would be over Comcast's monthly usage cap in 1/50th of a second.
