I still have my disk notcher. Used it on hundreds of 5¼s in my C64 days.
Unfortunately, I've found that the floppy disks don't handle the highs and lows of garage storage. I put the system together a few years ago and my 1541 drive head was too far misaligned for me to get it to work. I bought a...
"It's clear he's not going to learn his lesson until his life is completely destroyed and he's sucking dick in a dirty alley to support his steroid abuse."
I almost never laugh at what I read online- after being drenched with pathetic attempts of humor all over the net, but this line nearly...
If its company property, then I dont feel the employee necessarily has the right to know.
Ten years ago while working as a dock foreman for a shipping company, we received our first 2 phones with GPS. We handed them out to the 2 tractor-trailer drivers that had the most problems in delivering...
Why can't the console manufacturers just make a converter that DOESN'T USE ELECTRICITY WHEN IT'S OFF???
My pc doesn't use any power while it's off - surely we have the technology to fix wall-warts and save those trillions, right?
I've replaced almost all of my (non-dimming) bulbs with CFLs. At first the savings were pretty nice. But here in the south, Duke Energy has upped their rates TWICE in the last two years, so those savings were temporary from my starting point. By the time that LED's are cheaper, the energy rates...
IMO the new Pong game was released in 1977 (just not as an app). It was COMBAT. Playing Tank-Pong with shells that bounced off walls or flying the biplanes with guided bullets - that was a killer game back in the day! Make an app for that.
That's wonderful and cool and all, and I don't mean to trivialize the accomplishment, but where could they go from here? We find smaller, faster, and cooler (less heat-producing) ways of processing every couple of months, right? The only lighter element in the same class as phosphorus is...
Exactly - Look up the term 'hardened' when it come to electronics and you'll find out why milspec items cost so much more. Electronic devices have to be protected from interference (and interfering with) other systems, and it does not come cheap. This is often why the technology in...
There are 30 prisoners in a straight line facing a wall. Everybody is wearing either a black or white hat. The prisoners can only see the colors of the hats in front of them but not of the prisoners behind them. Now each prisoner has to guess the color of the hat on his own head. Guess wrong and...
