Sounds like someone was watching "Species" again. Natasha Henstridge is HOT.

And because they were intelligent, they got the hell out of here as fast as they could, too.

Wow! Guess I'm fortunate to have a newer kernel. I was running the 4.10 kernel and the update upgraded me to the 4.13 kernel. All my computers (including one running the equivalent level of Linux Mint) booted just fine with the 4.13.0-26 kernel.

I remember playing this game in high school on our time-shared PDP-10... and I graduated in 1975. How is that possible?

I had the module you'd add to the Coleco Genesis game system. Wow did THAT ever take up desk space!

Mine too! I eventually got the disk drives too!

The Coleco ADAM!

Actually, there were a couple of comments about this. I know, because I posted one of them, and just responded to another...

Actually, I haven't had any issues plugging USB 2.0 devices into USB 3.0 ports on my Ubuntu system. My Windows guest systems see those devices just fine. However, plugging in a USB 3.0 device into a USB 3.0 port doesn't work; it isn't seen by the guest system at all.

Fortunately, if your system has USB 2.0 ports, you can plug a USB 3.0 device into one of those and your guest system will see it. It just can't access it as quickly as if it were USB 3.0.

All of this is on my "Trusty" system on an HP Pavilion P7-1235. Your mileage may vary.

There is no support for USB 3.0, and more and more computers are only coming with USB 3.0 ports. Those are "invisible" to guest systems running under VirtualBox. Otherwise, it pretty much does everything I need it for (running Windows under Linux so I can run TurboTax and Garmin mapping software).

I like: "It's 106 miles to Chicago. We have a full tank of gas, a half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark out AND we're wearing sunglasses. HIT IT!"

Considering that Java appears to be a flimsy screen door in any company's firewall, I would think that most SANE organizations would've started moving off of that platform YEARS ago...

FTW!
