Damn...Attachmate. That brings back memories of Micro-Channel PC,s and 3270 emulators.

Those parasites at SCO made a living litigating BULLSHIT claims on licenses they "acquired" I hope this is the last of it. They should have DiaF years ago.

I own a house 40 minutes outside of SF in the East bay. I lived there for years and loved the area. My parents aged out and retired in Yuma. I am the care giver for both. I rent my house out and live with Ye olde folks. The politics are weird in Cali but the atmosphere is awesome and there is so much to do. Cost is insane but if you can work in that market you can live outside the SF proper. I like where I am at now, but it is 3-5 hours for any sort of culture. Phoenix is 3 hours, San Diego is 3 hours, Vegas is 4.5 hours. I am going to see Alan Parson in Sept in Phoenix, and I 'll have to stay at a hotel rather than try and drive home that night.

WTF.. garbage statement. AI will NOT change math at ALL. It will hopefully extend math comprehension by a large margin, but I seriously doubt it "changes" any of the underlying supports. Maybe AI will suddenly discover new numbers ??

Well Whoop-D-Dooo. NYC has 8.5 million people vs. SF at 850 K and they just FINALLY got more tech workers. NY would be one of the FEW places more expensive than SF. I can see the draw to NYC, but this seems like a hollow celebration.
  In the news NYC has more muggers than SF, and probably, maybe more homeless ?

Or...I've very personally seen and live with the resulting human destruction low life people can and will do to them selves and everyone around them. It is amazing, how you fully analyzed me from a paragraph. You must be a genius...or something. Live a while, watch the needless suffering caused by drugs and the morons who use them. If it hasn't touched you personally, be thankful and STFU about things you can't know unless you lived them.

Crank whores deserve whatever they get. Meth during pregnancy is the almost worst thing you can do. 2 decades in jail for ruining your child's life, and inflicting your forever needy child on society seems like she got off lightly.

Oil cooled with "Canola"

There was a huge amount of firewood rationing and shortages as well.

I live in a no fly zone corridor near a bombing range. No RC planes, No kites above 50ft, No personal flyers of any kind. What I do get is sonic booms and bombing runs but that's entertainment.

OS/2 should have taken over the world. It was THAT much better than anything else. I'd love to have seen OS/2 on an Amiga...

This is everything you need to know about running an airline into the ground. The worst in customer service, the worst in maintenance, the worst in cleanliness. Garbage In Garbage Out, the saying applies all kinds of places.

I've got my modem, router, NAS and printer attached to an extender from the closet they reside in. If Comcrap, or Rectum cable turn this on they get the 5x5 room. closet.

All crap I do not want. The .exe installer for my game please. Game spy did it right as far a match making goes. I don't buy on Steam, and I don't use GoG's Galaxy. I don't care about Achievements, and if you are into Mod'n a game you should be able to figure out how to load and manage them. I write DOOM2 maps and I can do that just fine without Bethesda. An online server multiplayer game should handle client side issues itself. All the crap you are pushing is just more info for someone to cache about you...

For me the visualization of direct collapse black hole formation is that there's still a huge mass of gas falling in, at the boundary of the new black hole nearly dense enough to direct collapse itself. The blowback would compress the inflow over the density edge and you get a whole cloud of black holes.
