I used to live in an area served by what was then GTE and they had antennas like this. I have not seen anything listing GTE’s equivalent infrastructure. Does anything exist for that?

They started carrying gunpods at the time. Missiles of the era were inaccurate and finicky.

Not to mention the AIM-4 was originally designed to shoot down Soviet bombers and not for dogfighting.

Whatever happened to the other openbsd fork, bitrig?

I don’t know about the current version, but macOS has been certified as UNIX in the past.

Darknet Diaries episode 39 covers quite a bit about Daniel. He also used to call in to the PLA Phone Show under the pseudonym “Skunkworks”, and talk about dissolving bodies and vocal cords.

These look like the TARS blimps or DEA blimps used for border surveillance and trying to catch drug smugglers.

For me, hydroflouric acid.

Why not try to resurrect k5?

Maybe Alcatel can swoop in and buy them up.

Alcatel, Alcatel not Nokia bought Lucent.

"A New Kind of Science" was like that.

Toner wars, right?

Does it support any sort of port forwarding, not just X11?

That said, the saving grace for Tcl were things like Expect and Tk. I don't think I ever used it for anything else....

The irony here, then, is that Perl 5 took the object system that Python had in 1995 as an example to emulate.

The last time an all service airframe was designed, McNamara was Secretary of Defense, and the F-111 was born. The Navy decided to pass on it.

I get 𝑼𝒏𝒊𝒄𝒐...

Don't forget the PlayStation 3 and 4.

Actually, Illumina's $1000-genome machine is 10 machines, and the way you get the $1000 genome cost is by running around 18000 samples thru in a year.... And when the bioinformatics folks talk about a '$1000 genome', they actually mean the cost of reagents.

Does this count stay at home parents in the 1 in 4 figure?

You never know, maybe they will be sacked after these layoffs are taken care of. One place I worked at, two managers were each told to select one of their underlings for layoffs. After they made their selections, the managers were then laid off.

Ages ago, there used to be a python-lisp hybrid called e7. I wonder if that provided any inspiration.

Is this true of the Latitude series of laptops? Or just the XPS? I would think the Commercial grade hardware would be a bit tougher.

Did they not already abandon one DRM scheme many many years ago, with DRM-ed pdfs? I remember Acrobat versions 5-8 or somewhere in that range of versions having DRM, with a few vendors using it, then dropping it around '06.

I used to use Google's Notebook up until it ended, and switched over to using a combination of ubernote and basket notes.

I've heard similar stories of soviet soldiers in Afghanistan in the 80's draining the hydraulic fluid from their armored vehicles because it was ethanol, and drinking it...

Recently, it seems Chrome is saving history online between browsers on different machines. This has freaked me out to the point where I'm moving back to using Firefox.

Nobody really seems to get that right.

My next question is, how well does this compare to watching television before going to bed. Research shows that to be detrimental to sleep quality as well. I'd almost like to see a study with participants watching a screen of light before sleeping and measuring the quality of their sleep...
