Windows ME wasn’t a sadist. It would have to actually work to get that far. The best thing that happened to a laptop I had which came with ME installed was to put Win98 on it. Ran great after that.


He should have gone with Colossus. There was a great 1970 scifi film named that about AI and… oh no, never mind.


Some for 50 years. Trump didn’t come out of nowhere. Him running for office used to be a joke.


Except they knew times would change, and so would those things in the public eye, so the document they wrote had to be malleable as well. If you think about it, while a lot of society has improved in respect to those topics, there’s still people who think that way, and we haven’t come as far as we should have in this time. So let’s not get too high and mighty because again, we could have been a lot further along by now.
Keep in mind that future us will be doing the same thing, looking back at what we’re doing or not doing and wondering, wtf was their problem?


The Founders: “Look, you guys were supposed to keep improving on it more than you did.”
Pattern: 7, but I swear they were a different color.


Wow, the comments. Bunch of racist assholes. “They ran, they must be illegals.” No, they ran because some masked and armed men came after people illegally without consequence.


Unlimited. Nothing about quality.


That’s a different bucket, we clearly can’t have the commons put their dirty hands in there.


They say they have DATA showing fraud, so they absolutely could find any of the problems, and certainly there have already been procedures in place to do that. This is just an opportunity to make up a new issue and use it for cruelty. A good society takes care of its people, it doesn’t make them crawl through hoop after hoop to survive.


Impeachment (or two) isn’t enough, as the current President shows. Impeachment without consequence is just something to note in the footnotes of a history book. Hell, Clinton didn’t get real consequences either, but let’s compare the impeachment findings of both Presidents as well as motives to pursue them together and compare.


North Carolina hides
Then the country’s population will get better at math again.


That won’t have too much of a consequence, no sir.


Given the reason for finally stopping, the penny will be around a long time still, since the ones in circulation aren’t used nearly as much as before credit and debit cards.


1943 was the one year they made the zinc plated steel pennies. They’ve been various ratios of copper before and after (from 88% to 97%) until 1982, when they turned to 97.5% zinc with a 2.5% copper plating.
Started with Netscape core, won’t deviate.
Things I’m not surprised about:
that someone remembering would mention it
that the home site for it looks like it’s from 1997
Things I’m surprised about:
Lynx is still supported (the oldest browser that is)
that the latest version number is so low
that someone mentioning it wouldn’t also say they use Arch btw
You’re god damn right.
Sorry… I mean… as a dad who did some driving with younger kids at night with their stuff with the backlights. You have to understand that you’ve just blinded me to everything, and it’s also very distracting. But to be fair, it wasn’t just the kids. My wife would do the same damn thing with her laptop, and that was a far bigger light. And a far more delicate method of approaching.
