It was a light, cleanly designed front end to YT's content.

Thanks a lot for the link, I didn't know it was open source.

I'd go for "apply'd", "craft'd" and so on -- it has a vibrant applicant-of-sharp-tools-ian ring to it. Admirations for your honour's worthy labour.

I'm stuck in a strange loop: videos change, but the music doesn't. I think it's Debussy, the effect is very strange (and nice too). Bug or not? :)

Oh, and the small button below has disappeared.

This is so wrong… Did they use old-style figures, too? That's the only way I can imagine it might have looked OK.

Where are the '1' and '0' on the Bar-Lock? Or did hackers of that time do direct I/O?

Sections 2 and 3 contain the most readable man pages out there. The pages in sections 1 and 8 are often terrible, being the result of some texinfo->man filter.

Thanks, c2 has become intolerably slow.

Zmodem's code is uglier than Kermit's IMO. Gods help you if you have to read either, but Kermit is written better and EK is almost understandable once you fold all unneeded #define's.

I'm surprised no-one mentioned the venerable UUCP. It has more variants than X/Y/Zmodem combined: at least 12.

The only upside of this is unbrickability. Having the boot ROM inside the CPU means you are stuck forever with whatever bugs there are in it. Been there.

Effing hilarious. Some years ago I spent a few days writing to a 'Russian bride'. It became instantly clear all replies were scripted, there was no connection at all with what I said (The full text of 'I, Robot'? Oh, what interesting things you do…). So I'd say many if not most of the spam scenarios are automated and the whole thing becomes too meta.
