Should have started with Hello world first. Introducing newbies to variables to do a Fibonacci sequence is very hard for them. Nice use of the vMac emulator.

Windows killed off the Commodore Amiga and Atari ST. It almost killed off Apple until Apple bought out NexT to make MacOSX and bring back Steve Jobs.

We are in the Post-PC age with mobile devices and Raspberry PIs. The PC is almost dead as Windows 11 requires newer CPUs and TPM 2.0 that won't run on a majority of older PCs. Apple is a trillion…

Microsoft coped the DRI CP/M model. Sell the OS to PC Makers and make it a standard. IBM used off the shelf parts for the IBM PC, so others were able to copy it easily. When IBM made the PS/…

I remember when you had to register Quicktime for a code to unlock features in it.

The Windows Blue Screen of Death. I don't think Microsoft will ever fix it.

Is this called Proctoring? My son went to college and because of COVID they had his math class online. In order to take a test he needed a web camera to watch him and he had to show the room he was in…

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FBI%E2%80%93Apple_encryption_d... Apple once refused the FBI to hack a terrorist's phone because it would lead to a loss of privacy for iPhone …

More like a Colecovision that used a Z80 CPU.

You won't see Gone with the Wind remade any time soon. Nor will you see The Song of the South. Because they are considered racist. Society, culture, laws, language, philosophy all changes.

I think the Amiga One is expensive considering it uses a low level PowerPC chip. Some MacMini G4 can run AmigaOS 4.X I heard. If you want a Free AmigaOS try AROS: https://aros.sourceforge.i…

Most people don't care. I have a friend and business partner from India who was an undocumented immigrant, his father was a doctor and brought his family with him. When my friend was 18 he was su…

What is the difference between this and GNUSTEP http://www.gnustep.org/ and Darling http://darlinghq.org …

The core of MacOS is Darwin which is open source. Based on the MACH/XNU kernel and *BSD. So any MacOS clone would start with using Darwin code.

Simple, you work 5+ years at a company you earn a pension, extra days off, and a larger salary. Even McDonalds and fast food joints do it. They have benefits that cost a lot if the employee continues …

Don't forget John the Ripper: https://www.openwall.com/john/

Many sites were like this in 2004. Kuro5hin Husi IWETHEY Etc. Modern boards like Notabug suffer from it without a moderator.

I have an SE but the 1.44M floppy drive won't work at anything but 800K. I think I need to update BIOS in my SE. I still have an Bondi Blue iMac that does MacOS 9.

The trolls take over. Notabug was supposed to be the freedom of speech system that Aaron Swartz wanted. But without moderators the trolls and Nazis soon take over.

Ice is melting at a faster rate than I thought it would. We should have done something in the 2000s to switch from coal to solar or water turbines.

When did this start? Maybe you can buy an old printer that does not do it and get a USB adapter for it? The early HP Laserjets were fine.

We should have taken this seriously 20 years ago.

Goes back to Rome, one had to become a citizen to vote. Join the military and get mustered out as a citizen with farmland. Would not fly today.

It looks for a WIN.INF file on disk 1, you could make a blank WIN.INF and it would still work.

I had the install disks copied to a Novell server and then xcopied them to c:\install\win95\ and then ran setup in that directory. It went faster than swapping floppies.

I had that problem in Virtual Box I had to enable a serial port for it to output error messages.

Free version of BeOS rewritten from scratch using the API levels for compatibility. One step closer to public release.

How can you tell the real people from the spambots? I am on a Bitcoin group on Facebook and spambots keep making their way through the registration process.
