18-year-old "woman"? That's a girl my friend, and you're now on a watch list.

That was my first computer as well. I upgraded it to 48k with a little kit. The best thing was it came with a thick manual that I devoured in the first week. It taught me BASIC which I used to write primitive games and I haven't looked back since. The beginning of a lifetime of fun and profit!

soy IS protein complete.

its so you can have the taste of a burger without hurting animals.

THe classic true story about the heyday of "real" programmers:

http://foldoc.org/The%20Story%...

Direct quote from the front page of the website in question:

"With regret I have to announce that, after some 18 years, I have decided to close the Apostrophe Protection Society...........This web site, masterminded by John Hale, will however remain open for some time for reference and interest."

So the society is closing but the website is remaining up.

This seems pretty heavy stuff. I understand that bad actors could make use of this and there could be lots of conspiracy theories about why its in there, but is this level of control really nessesary for debugging or is it just for convenience or does it look suspicious?

Then you'll probably want to eat less animal meat.

However you may miss the taste of meat. The good news is that these days there are some very very good substitutes. I have often thought about performing a blind taste on some meat eaters to see if they could tell the difference between say a soya sausage and a meat sausage.

Why not try it for yourself? Wouldn't it be wonderful to discover that you can replace some of your animal based meat (or all of it? :-) with plant based substitutes and not notice any real difference to your eating pleasure.

I like animals and the idea of being able to communicate with them more effectively is appealing to me so I am listening to a copy of book right now.

I like it so far, interesting stories and asides. He does seem to hint at some sort of "telepathy" going on (transferring mind pictures is how me puts it) which some may find controversial, but well, as I say, so far I'm enjoying it.

Yes, but Issac Newton was right in his calculations to the degree that is required for (current?) space flight. So you wouldn't get far in suing his estate. They would have to argue that the some minuscule effect of GR would have saved the day. Unlikely.

Is it a case of "GNU dares wins."?
