It seems to me that this is not a fair test. There is sentiment and there is budget. A product that costs a little more is one thing but double the price hits budget barriers. Most people do not have …

I am impressed that the FSF has kept up the same office / mailing address for 32 years at the time the article was written!

It's the standard here in the USA. The other standard is the US Legal at 8.5 inches by 14 inches (216 mm by 356 mm). This is what is used in court settings (hence the name) but also things like p…

By the way, for those unaware of the general set up, QEMU provides a complete software emulation of a CPU from that era as well as a Sound Blaster 16 card. The software just runs like it did back then…

Yeah, I personally will not subscribe to this. I am a grown man and I strongly dislike watching depictions of violence and want nothing personally to do with porn. My wife works in mental health and i…

I appreciate you sharing your perspective here. Please do not read too much into this as me trying to control our kids beyond normal parenting and making sure they learn to grow up to be strong, confi…

I originally posted this over the weekend and it didn't catch on. I didn't realize HN auto reposts under some conditions! Let me know if you have any questions about the emulation set up.

Wine has been very useful for a few decades now. I got to admit though, I seldom find myself running serious software with it. I end up with Windows itself running in a virtual machine. I remember tha…

Does anyone here know Elmer Larsen personally? A little digging online found that he later became a city council member and a mayor. I always love learning about some of the earlier independent develo…

Published this last year after introducing my daughter to some old DOS educational games. She is going to be starting Kindergarten soon and my plan is to set her up with her own computer with older ed…

With a single member LLC it is just an extra form on your personal return at least!

You have to satisfy the business requirement, which may be pretty easy to do. I am not sure. Just indicate it's for your side hustle business.

How does a home-based business demonstrate their business bona fides here? Having a business account with DHL? Having a business name?

Congratulations on getting into competition! I started competing and intentionally practicing to get better about 4 years ago after a long time of being a safe but casual shooter. In the last year I h…

Don't be hard on yourself. None of us are born with this knowledge :-) If you ever shoot, just remember it is a really good idea to wash your hands afterwards (using the dlead soap if possible). …

It’s not obvious, but practice enough at indoor ranges or reload your own competition ammo long enough. I have heard firsthand accounts from shooters who at some point weren’t feeling well, got tested…

You can request blood lead labs done through your doctor. People who work in industry and competition shooters and such will get that done to track.

Your latest post about Google results inspired me to write on this too with a link back to your article! Google Search Results are Increasingly Disappointing as AI Results Are Pushed at https:/&…

Impossible in the United States under the constitution. To put plainly, this would be a colossal first amendment violation, abridging the freedom of speech and freedom of the press.

I am #3133! Fun.

Or even free with a checking account. Depends on the branch. I think the right strategy is to store the high level passwords that do not change much and then an annual backup archive of all the family…

This needs to be published by everyone who has a blog and shared with friends and family everywhere. I know first hand the mess from my friend who died of cancer at 38 leaving behind a wife and daught…

I suppose I can publish on by blog and then keep on writing. Can discover this future together along with anyone who wants to read it. This is my first serious attempt at fiction. I have only just beg…

And without care. Everyone's precious photo albums will go with them to the grave. We live in a time where the books and data we write are likely to vanish long before any previous period. We don…

Yes, it is. I actually have been mulling over a fictional world set in the future where the period between the 20th and 25th centuries is a mysterious time that so little is known about. The story fol…

There is a working one in the gaming area of the Computer History Museum in Roswell, GA. The instructions direct you to play the Wumpus game but you can go to ti-basic and other programs instead.

Nota Bene is still a thing! The descendant of XYWrite!

There is a shrink wrapped box of Bob on display at the Computer Museum of America in Roswell, Georgia (Metro Atlanta).
