    An excellent answer - the very same kind of post I come here to read and not the very same machine-generated content that's everywhere in the Net ;-)

    It made me a bit sad that he bothered to answer in what came to me a little like a patronising response. Not expecting a "oh the good ole times" but perhaps a polite acknowledgment…

    I remember that, in order to play S3&K in emulation, you just had to concatenate both games in a COPY S3.BIN + S&K.BIN way (if you used DOS) so I mostly knew the answer already. Bu…

    I'm glad this is the first comment, because there's no way these terms of use would (should?) fly in the EU. I don't know about the USA, but it is plain deception to advertise a se…

    I found a Half-Life CD in the street, just laying there, when it was a new game and all the rage. I guess it slipped from somebody's jewel case or the like. By some miracle, it was…

    I'm sorry to say this on this site but this post is unmanageably long, I can't bring myself to read it fully. Also, the entitlement and disregard for the work of others is unbearab…

    I had an S60 some 4 years ago, also equipped with a FLIR camera and although I tried to love the phone, I simply couldn't. For starters it had a mediocre Snapdragon SoC - better th…

    This article in Spanish is quite similar in wording and expressions used: https://noticias.coches.com/noticias-motor/ford-pinto-seguri... Really, I think that the Internet now is m…

    That was in my mind for the entire length of the article, and I readily went to the comment sections expecting it to be addressed. I saved, from a previous job and just for curiosi…

    I knew of them more of an artistic movement (with socialist views) which spawned the "Disco Elysium" video game.

    I always loved Bombadil. A discordant note among wizards of great power and elves of slender form and perhaps a metaphor for Nature itself, but I also have enjoyed a lot this take …

    I always insert it (with permission from the owner, of course) in the sites that I manage, just as a little gesture. It's bit like that ASCII duck saying "meow!" on Amazon.

    I'm always flabbergasted at how difficult and hostile to the user is discern between the various USB standards.

    I've tested a handful of them and they're always the same: not a single one of them are advertised in a honest way. Some have even a true USB 3.0 connector soldered, which of cours…

    I think we've thought the same, although you've put it better than I would: exactly how verifiably would this be for such a large deployment like the COVID passports of one of the …

    MC always brings a lot of nostalgia and the though that I used to be extremely productive with it. Surely it's just a mirage of my memory and it's just I don't perform so many file…
