Darn vague memory but - Yes. Keypunch machinesâ"such as the IBM 026, IBM 029, and IBM 129â"allowed operators to duplicate an existing card up to a specific column to correct errors or edit data without re-entering the entire 80-column sequence.

The good old days were before that. Circa '92 was good. Reasonable etiquette, news groups for almost every interest you could care to name, decent people you could run into (a bunch of people I met on the 'net prior to '92 was the start of many trips over to the States, many of whom I'm still in touch with). After '92-93 was the Eternal September, and the net went to hell in a handbasket.

Birds are pretty smart, full stop. They're the only group that has a method of creating and using their own hooked tools (Caledonian Crow) other than humans.
They are excellent problem solvers overall. Given their size relative to comparative intellects (Crows are comparable in intellect to monkeys and gorillas), they're absolute marvels.

Evolution shows how those defenses also make great mating displays, once the animal figures out it's better to make love than war

Bioware may well be a shadow of its former self, but at the end of the day, love or hate what they produced in their latter days, it's all people that worked every day to do their best to bring about what management and the employed script writers specified.
There are many posts about graphics being superb, but gameplay lacking. That's a decision by game designers, rather than all the team, many of who are lumbered with knowing it could be better but constrained to produce what the spec and story said.

I feel for the team, each of who would be trying to make a living, and hope that some of the other studios may be able to wrangle increasing head count to absorb some of the EA fallout. Or that some kickstarter will be set up by the now unemployed members to rebuild some of what the old Bioware (and others) were once known for.

Good luck out there, ex EA employees. We'll be cheering you on for a path back to stability!

You da man!

It's a step function price shock that'll adjust at a stable price. If enough leave there is no point in owning the IP, doubt they'd open source VMware. All it takes, which AI makes easier than ever, is a workable alternative with an easy button. Have done a little proxmox - just attach to an ESXi machine and suck 'em over.

If the tencent cluster could smoke signal an OAI party somehow it'd be a plot right out of "Colossus: The Forbin Project" from 10 years before "Wargames"

Massachusets successfully sued the EPA citing global warming and ocean rise.

Next step would be taking China to the world court claiming overproduction could trigger an alien UFO intervention to save us from ourselves.

Sure, seems like with the blessedly secular higher education driving themselves crazy we will have all these different schools of thought dedicated to their own peculiar name for and interpretation of the nameless one popping up all over. Conservatives have been coming up with their own private education institutions for a while.

A three camera cluster should do - any one goes off line the other two can still coordinate laser fire.

It happens - my 6th grade desk just happened to be right next to a wall of books with a couple of "Rick Brandt Electronic Adventure" and we were off to the moon and Tibet.

Purely coincidentally asked Omarchy to clone and build the same just a minute ago - able to record background office noise and play it back ðY
