I would never drag pico. I wrote software that's been packaged in Linux distros in pico. And I lost the urge to be The Smartest Guy In The [Room/Mailing List/Forum] a long, long time ago.

For example, Rodin had it figured out. He just hired more sculptors!

I can see advantages to collating data for both organizations, but to it just raises the question, once again, of why simple appliances are connected to the Internet.

I like that! "We value your privacy. At about $.0003 per data point."

Now I'm just wondering if wustl is still running any excellent FTP servers.

I might have 1 or 2 compositions in backup that I could load up...amazing! I love it too.

My initial thought as well, so you're no outlier, unless we are.

"WHO'S 'THEY?????'"

Right? I've been waiting a lot of years for an upgrade to my voice-activated timer setter/music player launcher.

The best thing I ever did for my father was to buy him a kindle and an access point and show him how to use Project Gutenberg to get books. He loved the old writings (he being a GED holder who was in the Navy during Korea yet had read the entire Harvard Classics). He had a special rolled up towel he used to prop it on his lap in his favorite chair and he read and read and read. When he passed he was reading "Legends of the Jews" from 1931.

I had some small e-correspondence with Michael S. Hart back in the 90's as well, and made a few modest contributions to the project, which made my English major undergraduate heart swell with pride and joy.

I guess this is only to say that PG is special to me for these reasons, and I am glad to see it still thriving. <3

I also enjoy the one about testing bird strike tolerances with store-bought chicken.

I loved Pegasus. Specifically because to move it to another machine you just had to copy the PMAIL folder and make a shortcut. No registry awareness, no dependencies.

I stopped reading once the author claimed it was a lie because the SecSrv knew technical terms, then claimed it was a lie because they didn't know the technical terms. It's too early in the morning to be purposely confused.

I would be perfectly satisfied with the ST:TNG Computer. Knows all, knows how to do lots of things, feels nothing.

TIL '\a' is bell on POSIX. That's neat to me all by itself.
