I was hoping someone else chimed in with Cathode. It's like getting to use my Heath-Zenith H89 without having to risk blowing it's caps when I turn it on. There's no other way to play classic adventure and text based games like MUSHes.

You can turn all the 'errors' down to where it only jitters when you switch into the active window, or just pussy out and quit using it. We didn't have that choice in 1978 and we don't want it now!

You don't need to sniff if you never plug it in or give it your wifi password to begin with. Then for good measure, don't add the MAC to your DHCP list so it never gets and IP address even if it does find it's way on to your network.

4 years in a converted bus here... amen to the savings. I think it also changes the way you look at material things when storage is at a premium. It's a lot easier to leave things on the shelf at the store simply because there was no place for them at home. Still, plenty of room for a good computer, big TV and big enough food prep area to turn out some pretty decent dinners.

Not totally true... You're not allowed to live anywhere you please in a motorhome, but you can legally live in any state if you rent a slot at an RV park and every state and most towns have one. The guy should have spent his money on a flat nosed school bus that could pass as a BlueBird motorhome with a coat of paint. They can be had for under a grand in goor running order at school district auctions, then the other 9k would put in a toilet, air conditioner, fresh and wastewater storage. I know, I did it. I spent four years legally living in my converted bus while I rebuilt my credit scores and now it's parked behind my house (also quite legal if you put it behind a fence in many towns). I'm not allowed to 'live' in it while behind the house, but it makes a hell of workshop now.

When I wasn't in an RV park ($300/mo rent) I would swap parking space at constructions sites for 'night security'. They were happy to have me on site until the places were getting occupied, then I'd either find another site or rent a 'lot' at an RV park.

One last little fact not generally known, Walmart allows overnight RV parking at all their stores. It encourages their owners to come in and buy the things they need for their trips.

+1, Firefly

Kardashian? You bought a Kardashian? Ha! You know they're outdated before they make it off the assembly line and way out of tolerance in the plumbing bits. I hope you got a good deal.

What of these lightly-built female researchers? Scantily clad Lara Croft types? Mmmm?

Bad QC... really?

Floppies were surpassed by other technologies in capacity and price per MB and no longer made economical sense to put them in computers.

This is repeated over and over again when ham operators put up towers. The complaints start rolling in about interference with phones and tv signals long before any transmitter is ever activated. I've even got grief for small wire receive only antennas.

Pi? Chances are it's trying to reboot every time it gets the command, but the SD card is corrupt.

Could be paid by the word...

...or something like that.

punchcards, ftw. just don't drop the stack before you get it to the feeder.
