I recall a tech news site doing something like that a bit ago (blocking content if you blocked the ad stream). See how well that went. Was it Ars Technica? I forget but I don't go there anymore...

del *.* is still a valid way to clear space on my older PC. A little love for DOS please, the machine is Dos 3.1 and runs fine thank you.

I too admire the elegant efficiency you show above.

This is the nature of comment sections from the dawn of the .ALT of Usenet. Some things will never change, filter the garbage and move on....

For those of you born in the "Web is the Internet" days, I am talking about mailing lists.

My wife gets ticked and drops a trade rag in the toilet, too bad; get another. Drop my rooted Kindel in the toilet and I'm ticked too! The fight is ON!!

Sounds bigger then that to me; they will not be releasing future libraries of any kind to any java projects. Wonder if they plan to abandon java altogether.

I recall three distinct door game versions of games called tradewars or some variation of it, Trade War, Tradewars 2002, and Tradewars. Now a fourth, proving what a great game concept it is. Yeah! I loved those games! I ran all three as doors locally so I could learn the difference. Couldn't afford to run a full time BBS it was expensive to buy hardware and phone service back then and money has always been tight. Funny how the wife insists the kids have shoes... .

Was called by the son of an old buddy last week about bring back his dad's old BBS The SmallTime BBS in Phoenix. It was a great place for files and gaming in the 90's. I spent a ton of time playing LoD, LoRD, and Tradewars there. Probably a SynchroNet BBS Software site as well....

I program a group of ancient PLC's and have one that is DOS prorammable GEM 80 100, 130, 131, 142, miniGem if anyone has heard of it). The DOS program hates windows; I use the old NEC MultiSpin V20 to work on it with DOS 3.2. There was windows software written to program this series by the company I work for never bought it. Old PCs are great tools.
