I don't see many CO residents here, so I'll chime in.

Across the front range, average speeds in the fast lane on I-25, I-70, Highway 6 and highway 36 have been creeping up, and now run 15-20 mph over the speed limit. At 20 over, you'll get people tailgating you to get over, and even going 85 in a 65 mph zone, it's not uncommon to have someone blow by you like you are standing still. It would be nice to go 7-8 mph over the limit and still blend into traffic.

I'm all for more speed enforcement in this part of the world.

wow, silly me, I thought the original post was satire. I guess satire really is dead now. Another piece of collateral damage in the culture wars....

Way to live without fear! Nothing can hurt you --by definition!

It's so true that there is absolutely no history of science discovering a public health issue, it's a shame people don't get that... so much wasted anxiety.

sounds like comedy writing.

I agree-should be jail time by actual humans for interfering in elections.

I'll never forgive Paul, as the first literate follower of Jesus, for not going to visit the diciples to get the stories first hand. We could have a massively more accurate historical record. But he had his own religion to start, and it really had nothing to do with Jesus, it was all about getting out from under the Jewish law against homosexuality.

Not for me. The software I use every day couldn't even run in 2009 on the fastest processor I could find. I started using it live in 2012, at a 256 sample block size. In 2015, my 5775c and SSD cut that down to 128, while allowing me to double the channels of audio. Today it runs at 64 on my Ryzen 5900. For playing percussion that's the difference between impossible and just great. For comparison, my 8700k still can't run the current version at any speed.

Processor speed has mattered a lot to me in my line of work, as well as L2 cache (the broadwell still punches so far above its weight!) --but live music is particularly unforgiving.

SSDs do deserve some credit.

To answer the original question: I have to hand it to the 5775c, which is still the second fastest computer I own, after 8 years. (although it's on its second motherboard and power supply after getting fried by a power cable short, so maybe that doesn't count. It did survive that event, though!)

I guess I think if you change the processor, it's not the same ship, to reference the Thesius argument. Dogman is fundamentally a dog, because he has a dog brain.

Wish I'd kept my ATARI. I ran notator logic for years and years, and the timing was so good. Had an AKAI sampler too. Took me a decade or more of MIDI on macs and pcs and Ensoniqs and Kurzweils to realize it wasn't actually my fault that my playing sounded sloppier....

Not sure I really want to figure out how to get a 1040ST running again, but I'd love to be able to get the midi off all those floppies I've got.

Since anybody who actually wants to eat healthy knows the adjective is utterly meaningless, I'd be fine with banning it altogether.

I've never walked as much as I did in NYC. Well, except on backpacking trips.

However, the air quality was a lot better backpacking.

I'd give more weight to this comment than to the study...

My wife and I both had ours die long before the OS support died.

Agreed that recycling/disposal costs should be included in the cost of all phones. So the planet/consumer paying those costs wouldn't artificially lower the price of new phones, and there might be a bit more incentive to improve lifespan of devices.

You can't expect companies to just be more moral, it puts them at a competitive disadvantage. That's why we have laws. Unfortunately big companies love a government that won't pass any, and they have a lot of $$ to underwrite candidates that are commited to that ideal....

I've lived in Colorado for 50 years. We have forest fires every year, the three worst in history were just last year. This subdivision is not in a forest, or even near one. There has been nothing like this in Colorado in my lifetime.

Wow, they missed a great acronym opportunity when they didn't name it

the Apollo Next Generation Sample Taskforce.

Well with most species, a virus that kills too many hosts runs out of hosts. It'll be a while before a virus has that problem with humans.

Yeah, I love how everybody says 'get with the 21st century and accept credit cards already', and nobody is upset that credit card companies are getting 4% of VIRTUALLY EVERY TRANSACTION BEING MADE. That is a TAX, and we didn't get to vote for it or for the people who instituted it. I can't believe nobody is upset about that.

Really, the fed should introduce a virtual payment system. Probably the only way to get the rich to actually pay some taxes. But it's hardly likely to happen, since with a significant percentage of the ENTIRE GDP to work with, credit card companies can afford a bit of lobbying. And of course fees aren't going down, even though the accounting costs are probably 1/1000th what they were 50 years ago. But fees would only come down if there was real competition, and it would be so uncivilized of VISA and MC to actually compete.

Complain about the government, at least you get to vote some of them out periodically.
