Legos = PC building (transitive property in algebra)

yeah lol

Is that like a bus ride in reverse?

Get on the bus, pay your fare, then tell the driver that you're going to a double dutch affair.

In Soviet Russia bus rides you!

You have 640k free.

But WildCat! BBS didn't like DoubleSpace. It would tear up the data compression. I never could use it.

DOS 6.22, yes.

Nice.

Time to go back and study that crashed alien spaceship.

all that high speed technology...and i'm just gonna use it to emulate 8-bit systems anyway...

Is that any relation to the Stack Computers Paintbox for Atari 8-bits?

I don't believe so.

I would never let out the ants with the risk that my dust bunnies would eat them.

Worst farm ever... they never grew anything. (Paraphrasing Mitch Hedberg)

For what it's worth I guess there's only one species of ant they could use in those farms...All the other kinds died when they tried.

...before Symantec

Hey Ralphie ! I think we have a virus in here!

^That's pretty funny Inky!

go China!

Gina FTW

My thoughts exactly. Just bought a bunch of Edison-style light bulbs since they stopped selling them in the local shops. 1/4 the price and all I have to do is wait awhile. Should have done this all along.

I'm in the middle of doing my 486 stuff now, next is the pocket computer stuff. Every 5 or so years I go and straighten everything up.

Cool! I never owned one, but I've always liked the TRS-80 Pocket Computers.

(One could probably build a modern version pretty easily with today's microcontrollers. Another geek project for my nonexistent free time.)

I'd love to see one of these with a Red LED display even though my personal nostalgia spot screams original LCD.

Perhaps Keatah took a bathroom break and combined business with pleasure by going onto eBay?

Saturday nights alright for bidding, Saturday nights alright! Saturday nights alright for listing, Saturday nights alright! Alright! Alright!

Man, I wish I could see him. Lucky!

I do the same , work wherever I go. its just a couple minutes for some cash!

In this particular instance it was used to ensure a press conference ended at an exact time.

I would call that a "hard stop."

Hard-Off is a chain of stores in Japan selling second hand items.

And then the lights went out.

Was using my iPad..!

Then a Raven taps at your door

If someone's paid for it, it's professional.

True. I always think pro work is without question always better.

ANd when you breathe it in, you are actually inhaling a tiny part of the item & thing itself. Like the first few layers of atoms that evaporate or sublimate off the surface.

Some say there is a biological AI in all this evaporative and interactive communication by odor.

That is like some who say when a genius dies (like Mozart, for instance), then his atoms are scattered to the wind and may end up in any of us...

Sold my big gaming rig since now I travel a lot. Actually just bought a cheap desktop (i5 3570) but only to rebuild it as a portable retro CRT box

My MO is to get the nicest "budget gamer" thing for $150 available ... or the next best thing in a laptop. Thank goodness cheap GPUs have reached the "good enough" phase for me; I'm not chasing higher resolutions or butter frame rates or crypto mining.

I tend to go after higher-end stuff, used, a year or two old. Then watch the new features in the new tech get debugged, market-accepted, tested.. Either approach gives lower prices. One gets you the latest standards and APIs, another gets you higher performance.

Either way, staying behind the leading edge is a good thing.

More exciting than what most people were doing today.

All 7 boards I worked on today had minor damage to a coupla 2-3 traces near the battery.

You'd swear it was designed that way on-purpose.

The type of damage is simple to fix but system debilitating. And I bet tons of these ended up in e-cyclers because not economical to repair.

Courage

Would have sounded better if you said "after 3.5 years"

It sounds great now that it's fixed!

Kickstarter has its place, but don't expect projects to be on-time. I have a Kickstarter going with a reputable company:delay after delay. Products were supposed to ship last summer, and now they're talking this spring.

He's just tryn'a rile me up!

I kickstarted the Battletech game in 2015. It was due to launch in 2016. Finally came out in "early 2017" - finally came out in spring 2018. Worth the 13-15 month delay I guess.

at edge of cold bomb in NYC. 27 here going down to 6 overnight. Wooo!

Just had to get the car battery replaced... I'm surprised it lasted this long to be honest.

-29 here today, I don't even wanna know what the wind chill is.

Buy me some WhiteCastle and I'll give you a half-time like never before!

better get you a Ferguson. Ba-woosh!

I loved those toilets we had in school. All the classrooms knew when someone flushed!

She'll make point five past lightspeed. She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts

It's a "Harley"....Compatible...It's made by a lot of the same guys who worked at Harley
