Gutenberg's press was made out of a wine press. Letters were cast in lead, then lined up on a tray under the press. The tray was inked. A piece of paper was set over the inked lett…

The printer setup is where all the cost is, the printing itself is practically free.

I found that AI can even decipher Suetterlin! Oh well, so much for my secret handwriting.

> i'd rather buy from a business that drew stick figure ads by hand People have complained my stick figures look "unprofessional".

Twitter banned the President, and also throttled Scott Adams. In any case, what social media platform do you assert censors less?

Fauci was given a blanket pardon for what he did, and pled the 5th on any questions about his role.

Why are you repeating the same link? And it's still up on X.

It certainly is doxxing (although there is no legal definition of it that I'm aware of). I also wrote that X has the least censorship of any social media platform. If you have to d…

And there it is, posted on X. BTW, if I owned X, I would also not allow pictures of mutilated people or sexual content. The previous incarnation of Twitter did not allow that eithe…

Yes, the vtable. Microsoft at the time equipped their COM team with Zortech C++ and so they used the Zortech vtable. No, I did not invent the concept of vtables.

> and a very specific vtable layout for COM objects Fun fact: Microsoft developed COM based on how Zortech C++ virtual functions worked. (It predated Microsoft C++ by years.)

Never mind the extinction of the large fauna after the Ice Age. We don't know for sure, but a leading suspect is predation by humans.

I went with my dorm to see SW on the second day of release. I had no idea what to expect. Then, with the opening stab of music, I knew it was going to be great.

P.S. I deliberately did not include musicals or movies like 2001 that did not compose an original score.

I read LOTR in the early 70s. There was nothing else like it then.

I rarely read about the contribution a good music score has to a movie's popularity. A great score makes the movie. For example, The Blue Max, Ben Hur, the first Star Wars, Lord of…
