I used to be an IT jack of all trades, but retired now so I am free to work on any project I choose.
As an IT Operator at a data centre I acquired some knowledge of a wide variety of hardware, networks, software, databases, programming, support systems etc.
I also have a wide general knowledge and interest in a very wide variety of subjects. I am mostly self taught, although I did study some subjects at university level graduate courses, yet I cannot truly call myself a master of any subject.
Amir Tsarfati: The updated numbers:
4000 wounded of which 400 in critical conditions
Al Jazeera from a Lebanese security source:
The pagers were brought to Lebanon 5 months ago. They were boobytrapped in advance. Each device contained an explosive weighing no more than 20 grams.

Unisys MCP & MS-DOS. Two Operating systems.
MCP on Unisys mainframes was the most reliable Operating System I ever used.
MS-DOS started the world domination of Personal Computers, after a few false / failed starts by other desktop Operating Systems.
Right hand index finger for the left button, middle finger on the right button, and I do a lot of right clicks. I've tried using the wheel with the middle finger but it doesn't work well for me. I scroll often, but never use the wheel as a button.
Most of the Twitter accounts you follow probably have known sources that you can still connect to. Newsfeed readers like Feedly makes it fairly easy to set up a way of following news feeds, blogs etc.
I have read a LOT of sci-fi, including loads of Asimov. None of his characters are proven historical characters like Jesus. What most people find hard to believe is his claim to be God, his death, resurrection, ascension etc. I'm saying that I do believe those. Saying that all of that is fiction... I really find that hard to believe.
That said, although many would love a long discussion / argument about it here. For personal reasons I am not going to say more here today than I already have.
My email is on my HN profile.
Why do you ask that question on HN of all forums? Yes, personally I believe He was real, and all that implies. The whole story is too complicated and fantastic to be fictional.
Maybe he was like me who had some degree of hearing loss when I grew older and could no longer hear C sharp.
Unfortunately most people don't realize or understand that almost all the variables of being human lies on a spectrum. This includes length, weight, body type, colour, gender, sexuality, gregariousness, aptitudes, interests, intelligence, etc. Calling someone an anomaly for falling on one end of any of these traits is definitely ignorance and discrimination akin to racism.

I played every new version of the game over the years. In some ways the game changed a lot, in other ways it still remains true to it's origins. You can still get the original version from some sites that specialize in old games. The newest version is Civilization 6 which is available from Steam. The versions I personally enjoyed the most was Civilization 4 and 5.
