A good way to deal with tinnitus is by trying to find sounds/background noise to tone it down or drown it out (and by drowning out I mean not loud, more like a gentle distraction).…

For some good examples how to teach technical and mechanic concepts concerning maintenance check Out PS, The Preventive Maintenance Monthly. It's a series of US Army technical bull…

Have you tried the Amiga version? Back in the days. It had the same mechanics but it was a lot more polished with graphics and sound. Plus loading was a lot faster!

I was a backer on "buy Jeri some coffee"-level. Too bad it didn't pan out but they tried. At least we have a chance that Jeri might do a few new videos now.

It's a neat product comparison site but it seems to be missing various models. At my first try I already missed the Renkforce 3D printer series from Conrad Electronic (EU/German) (…

Dr. Steve Savage's blog: "Applied Mythology" is a good start. http://appliedmythology.blogspot.com/ But I wonder what is "subtle anti-ag" or "blatantly pro-ag" means in this contex…

I concur, this was one of those classic series I had planned to see for years and recently bought the blu-ray edition. I wasn't disappointed. Thanks to 35mm it really shines on Blu…

I'm reminded of this cartoon about an inventor who demonstrates a teleportation device. Shows you don't have to go all technical or write an economic treatise about emulated humans…

I recognize and played a lot of them all back in the day. Only things missing are Commando and Ghost & Goblins (I can still hum the tune!). Amazing what they could do with the SID …

Thanks, the Amplio used the original Civ2 sprite resolution and colour palette as a starting point. It seems to have hold up well. There's also some layout logic at work. If you lo…
