      My old AKAI was smart and it looked at the relative rotation speeds of the two reels and figured out when the tape was getting to the end and slowed down proportionally.

      It's a bit late for you to start toilet training. Should have sorted that decades ago.

      I remember the first time I used the 'net sometime in mid 1992. Before that, though, I was using Compuserve in 1989

      @atari2600land I am also terrible with heights, but being on a plane and looking down is serene. It does not trigger that instinctive reaction at all.

  10. How do you react when a busty woman, who has a singing voice like the buzzer on my cellphone, volunteers to jump into your lap?

  11. Ubuntu is switching back to Gnome and caning Unity for their next release! Being one of those weird people who actually liked Unity I fear I'm going to have to find a new Distro. Maybe I'll give Manjaro a try?

      Interesting. I dumped Ubuntu when they switched to Unity, after being a dedicated user for about 6 years. Couldn't stand Unity and now I'm an OSX user.

      I always loved the Sorcerer; it was a choice between Sorcerer and Atari 800 for me; I eventually went with the Atari. But I still have a soft spot for the Sorcerer...

  14. Thought I was going to bleed to death Monday night. My sister was outside in her car and I somehow made it to the front porch while holding my hand above my ankle. After helping to slow down the bleeding, she called 911 and an ambulance took me to the hospital. If I can ever be home long enough, I'll post what happened in my blog.

  15. Time flies: I've been a member here for just over 10 years.

  21. If cement is blue, then yes, your eyes are blue. To be accurate, you might want to call them "sidewalk gray" from now on.

      Mine are both - deep blue when stressed, and grey when things are cool. Often told my eyes change colour.

  22. "We're gonna press on, and we're gonna have the hap, hap, happiest Christmas since Bing Crosby tap-danced with Danny f*****g Kaye. And when Santa squeezes his fat white ass down that chimney tonight, he's gonna find the jolliest bunch of a**holes this side of the nuthouse."

  23. Last night on VH1 Classic I heard a singer I'd never heard of before: Allison Moyet. It was like Andy Bell and Cher had a kid.

  24. It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life for me... and I'm feeling good..!

  25. Have you noticed that the presence of humans seems to keep things from deteriorating as fast? For example, if you live in a house for 20 years without doing any maintenance, it will usually be in better shape than if it was abandoned for those 20 years. I wonder if humans give off a vibration that slows down the deterioration of things?
