And if you do use the wrong term, the immediate clarification of the word by the teenager behind the counter with that cold, professional smile...or stare.
So it's like Starbucks when you say you want a large coffee.
Or the former Loews Theaters chain when asking for butter on your popcorn it's really butter flavored topping; I suspect management requires the clarification, at Loews I was told we had to do so to make sure customers understood it was not butter and we didn't get sued for false advertising or whatever...not sure how likely that really was and if it was chain-wide policy or not, but the theater manager where I worked was serious about it.
One of the few games that literally changed the game.
Yep...here's some background on the game:
The Shareware Scene, Part 4: DOOM. Also read the prior and next parts of this series to get more of an idea how.
It even contained functions for creating and moving sprites.
A lot of these more advanced features (including sprites, access to expanded memory, subprograms, and more) required the the TI Extended BASIC Command Module (cartridge). The built-in TI BASIC did not support these features.
Yeah, John Oliver did an excellent segment on all of this; Tickets: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)
"Ticketmaster is one of the most hated companies on earth, which is really impressive because remember this is a planet in which AT&T also exists."
As to head proportions, all it take is a funny burial to misshape a skull.

5. Acquisitions
I ended up at a large bank when my small regional bank was acquired by Capital One. I've seen several small banks get gobbled up, I wouldn't be surprised if it happens a lot more than I'm aware of. Then that #4 (inertia) kicks in...
Would my Leisure Suit Larry Games on CD still work?
Sure, just run them in DosBox;
You would want to do that anyway for optimal sound; the earlier AGI games only had multichannel music/sound on a Tandy 1000 or PCjr, that 3 voice sound chip will not be available on any system for decades without emulation. Later games in the series would have been optimized for the Roland MT-32 and/or LAPC-I; most people won't have one of those on hand, and you can emulate this sound option as well without having to shell out for a used one on eBay or similar.
In the ad world, if you're older than 25, you're old. Your buying habits are pretty much set in stone and you're worthless as an ad target.
I really wish they would stop showing me ads then. Either their ad targeting really fails at figuring out I'm twice that age, or even if they know that point they still keep trying!
The ONLY reason for this change is for the overpaid hacks calling themselves programmers to justify their existence.
I highly doubt it's the Window's programmers making this decision. I strongly suspect Microsoft's technical staff could in fact build an outstanding OS and outstanding software, but priorities and changes are set by management - programmers just can't go in and change Windows features because they feel like it.
there is his complication that people WANT an uber service and i'm assuming it's because it's cheaper.
No, because they show up; at least for me price had nothing to do with it. At the time, taxi's had no app - you had to call them. At least where I lived, it was still not a given that a taxi would show up even after booking one. On multiple occasions I would book a taxi in advance; when the time they should have arrived came, there was no taxi - call the company again, wait on hold, then I would be told a taxi would be there in 2-3 hours. Uber came along, I could hail a car with my phone and it would arrive in usually 5-15 min. It showed on a map where the car was, so I knew. Some taxi companies have gotten better to compete, but really the issue was taxi companies were just that bad. Regulations aren't preventing them from competing, for a long time they just didn't have to.
