Love all of these responses. I'll add mine into the ring as well. I came in by photojournalism -> photoshop -> graphic design -> web design through the 90's. I was never really goo…

I think it was the first "Expanse" book that referenced that... and it rocked my world. Never able to willfully suspend it since.

(also a happy syno user here, been using it on several NAS's quite happily). My rough understanding is synology did some pretty heavy modifications to btrfs in their implementation…

It was late '99 or early '00 when I went to work at my first "tech" startup. We'd raised 70-something million, and all the stars were aligning. We'd go to lunch and bring a calcula…

If there was ever a need for hackernews silver... This was genius. Well done. _Golf clap_

As an indigo^2 user: holy shit they were trinitron heavy, too. But the internals of that case were [stunningly beautiful]( http://www.futuretech.blinkenlights.nl/i2/i2open.jpg ).

It's called [filld]( http://filld.com ), and it's _awesome_.

You've not seen _jupiter ascending_, I take it?

Though, now dated, I'd also recommend [Steve Matchett's books]( http://stevematchett.com/ ). Previous mechanic, and now commentator (which, yeah, some people hate... but i love the…

I dunno. I'm part of the 10 year club (/u/barclay is my main account). I've modded in the past. However outside of a couple of select subs i still casually participate in (watches …

This, this, this! I bet there's a whole slew of us who spent countless hours inspecting everything, trying to take it all apart... that formed the developers we are today.

> Chances of this ever happening in the real world: Zero I dunno. I've seen more than one person get caught by setting up their phone for development (1), getting suckered into ins…

Until they went for these bloody 6-cylinder turbos that the formula is using now. They're nowhere near as loud or as impressive as either the v8's of the 00's, or the v10's and v12…

Seriously. Does no-one remember ReplayTV, and the shit-storm that went up against them?

> Request, Response, Server, Application, Session, and Error. Not a lot of room for undetected edge cases Famous last words, son. Like everything, seems simple enough up front, but…

Yup. I had an LC520 (25 MHz 030--not that far back from your 6116) that ran 7.5.x.

Yup. I remember in 97(?) when I was able to be an early adopter of @home (before the excite merger), listening to "music on the internet" with realplayer on my PowerMac 7100. It wa…

(Unrelated) As someone who grew up in Oakdale, I'm positively shocked to hear there's a tech-related meetup there. Wow!

Yeah. This is a sticking point for us, also. There's ways around it, but it's still pretty broken. :(

Super interesting. I've also got no sense of smell, though my ENT thinks it was due to an accident I had as a baby (fell face first onto broken glass), that severed the nerve. I ca…
