    Delightful program, another oldie but a goodie is the 'melt' app which melts down all of the ui elements on your screen. I remember, back in the day, setting my display variable to…

    Sure, it goes well with one of the worst rail systems in the world and some of the worst roads in the third world. Seriously, why is it Washington has such trouble investing in inf…

    Yes, the whole drop-shipping scam that get-rich-quick types were pushing on instagram had to do with buying merchandise at market price then marking it up for sale on Amazon. Amazo…

    All points you make are very true. In addition, aluminum tends to crack as it ages and you'll find aluminum wiring is usually a culprit in electrical fires. In the world of mobile …

    Your anecdote reminds me of my experience in Salt Lake City. When I lived and worked in SLC back during the mid and late 90s, light rail was being proposed, especially with 2002 Ol…

    This hits the proverbial nail right on the head. In many towns and cities (of various sizes) across the US, pro-growth agendas are enriching a handful at the expense of residents. …

    Very good point. Even today, MSFT has such control over the hardware world, if you want to run Windows 7 on a Z490 mainboard, you're SOL. The latest mainboards force you to run the…

    The 'ACA' is not one plan and it certainly does not require health insurance carriers to pay for 'ALL' healthcare expenses after you reach your deductible. Coverage varies by state…

    I too am a fiscal conservative and see the merits behind a comprehensive single-payer health care system. Realize the American people are being told that 'socialized' medicine will…

    Does look like fun, but let's face it, 50 nautical miles is nothing on the water. I guess if you're on a lake the just under 60 mile range is enough to water ski but it's definitel…

    I started working from home around 2006. My torturous commute was around 4 hours, assuming the train was on time, so working from home was a godsend. Also my kids were young and wi…

    Yes, and after sybperl, DBD::Sybase/DBI became all the rage in the late 90s. The IBM patent is obsceleted at this point, though I still try to see how many lines of code I need to …
