He rolls off some good anecdotes from days gone by. Case in point, he mentions the big push for Intel's Itanium platform, which at one time was going to be the Next Big Thing. The Register were spot-on when they dubbed it "Itanic".
Also worth noting the reference to Blackberry being the one to beat - how times have changed...
Not making enough in ad revenue to pay editors?
I would have wasted a mod point on that post.
By chance I happen to have been able to right up to the point of hitting submit on this post, but as for actually modding that post, I'm thwarted by the lack of an "insightful interesting informative funny flamebait troll" option.
It wasn't due to hard cornering, it was due to quick transitions, turns in one direction to turns in another direction. The term you'll want to google is 'Swing arm suspension', common in cheap cars of the time. This includes the VWs you mention as well as the Fiat 500/600 of the time.
Because the only way to find an app on the iShit interface is by name, a name your friend told you, then you can't find it because the search doesn't actually give any relevancy points for exactly matching what you typed.
Just plain wrong. You are either a liar or inept.
Not mutually exclusive.
If you make a payout if SETI finds alien life, you suddenly give a financial motive to finding it. It could taint the results. Next Wow Signal we find and suddenly you'll have people who paid into it saying it's proof, and scientists saying it isn't. Lawyers will become involved.
Too messy if you ask me.
OR, more likely, the guy in the government who won't leak stuff for political reasons will leak that aliens have been here for half a century or more already and that our government covered it up.
Took me way too long to realize what four-digit ID you were talking about. *sigh*

Bullets are easy to make with simple steel casting molds. Available cheaply. Casings are reusable many, many times over.
There is no de jure ban. DC v. Heller took care of that. Bureaucratic nonsense means there is a de facto ban. Still.
Emily Miller. And I thought she worked for the Moonie Times?
Good old Slashdot.. providing a home for jokes that are too tired even for reddit.
Would you like some hot grits to go with your whine?
If your company is represented by an attorney, can they forbid you from informing the attorney about receiving a secret warrent or consulting with said attorney about said warrant?
What if the no warrant line only continues to appear on the website if it is made available by a third party contractually obligated to provide it each day only if assured of its veracity by said attorney?
Can they force the attorney to lie to a third party?
Don't fall for guilt bait. So what if you vote to keep food in your belly? Maslow's Hierarchy and all that places the needs of the 47% somewhere below my own personal needs.
Following it there and elsewhere has been my guilty pleasure for a couple of months now. Then I feel bad because this guy is fucking with real people's lives.
