I had the same problem when my previous Brother printer was nearly ten years old, I did the same trick, and it worked. Most components might last almost forever, but things like ru…

My brother passed a few years ago. I was able to "memorialize" his Facebook account, or whatever they call that term. Found a link on their web site, uploaded a scanned copy of the…

I had a job in 1982 or so that involved programming in Forth. It kinda made sense at the time to my young impressionable self, and one of the old timers thought it was ideal for wh…

Holy cow. I also worked at MDH Industries, for a few years starting in 1981 or so. That was also the first and only time I ever programming in Forth, doing embedded code for a new …

Doesn't seem likely. All data received from the craft is recorded, so it doesn't need to be decoded in real time, and if the spacecraft has the hardware to encode it at some rate t…

I was diagnosed with prostate cancer when I was about 57. I had had somewhat regular "finger up the butt" exams prior to that, since I was about 45, which were all negative. Then a…

I used Forth for a while in the early 80's, but I don't miss it. It took a while to get used to it, but since everything I had done before that had been assembly language or interp…

My father was a physicist, working for Westinghouse for many years when they did R&D in phosphors & other lighting. When I was a kid in the 60's he had a combination darkroom and c…

I'm in my sixties. I haven't been in a Howard Johnson's since I was a kid, but I distinctly remember the smell when walking into one, the smell of fried clams. It told me that we w…

Circa 1975-976, as best as I can remember, a magazine (Popular Electronics maybe, or that other one?), had an article about building a Pong game, complete with extensive schematics…

Back in my scout leader days we would buy Swiss Army knives by the bucketful at TSA auctions and give them to scouts as goodies after jamborees & what not. I swear the TSA must con…

Ooh,"excitement"! Like every other one of these Truman Show ideas, it will fail miserably.

Oh look, a bunch of CGI images of selfie-taking, twenty-something, hipsters. Jump off a bridge while you still can.

I started using UEStudio (nee UltraEdit) close to two decades ago. Although I haven't upgraded it in many years because I just don't like the cartoonish UI that it now has, it's aw…

I've also always used Simpsons characters for my home machines. So far I've gone through itchy, scratchy, krusty, blinky, moe, and edna.

I got one of those emails, yet nowhere in my password manager nor in my memory have I ever used one of their products nor any of their various brand names.
