I’d love to be able to lose three grand in a casino.

If you want to screw with your former employer, screw your former employer. This is criminal.

I’ve always thought they were a crawler.

Ok, serious question. Why is it normally read/write? I’ve always treated it as being read only.

I find interesting that I remember buying a game in Brazil in 1995 (the 11th hour, sequel to The 7th Guest) and in the receipt it was written “license to use”. So, even back then we were already told that it was a permission, not ownership.

My first job was building computers with old parts. A guy needed MS Word for work but didn’t want to buy a new computer or upgrade his 386SX (25Mhz iirc). It had like 20MB of disk and I don’t recall the RAM. So he asked me if I could try. So I did. I managed to install DOS, Windows 3.1 and MS Word. I don’t remember how long it took to boot, but I remember that it would take 6 seconds for a pressed letter to appear on the screen.

This maybe a joke here, but if you have been in a cruise, you know how good it feels to get to your table and the server is already bringing you choice of beverage and maybe even the appetizer you always order.

So, is r/celebnsfw closing? Because it’s exactly what it is. Guy was probably the only human in a sea of bots posting there.

I have several IKEA pieces that I bought when I arrived in Canada in 2007 and are still going strong.

Humpf…. Kids. 1996 at the university’s computer lab, playing Duke Nukem and Descent. The situation became so bad that we entered an agreement with the direction. If someone needed a computer to study, someone had to leave the game. And it worked. Everybody was happy.

My flight was overbooked and the airline was giving 500$ to stay one more day. The only available seat on the next day flight was in the smoking section. It was one of the most uncomfortable flights I have ever had. I don’t know if the 500$ was worth all the second hand smoke I inhaled. The corridor was cloudy.

It doesn’t need to be real. My local grocery has fake wheels for decoration.

They linked the community, not a particular post.

I did. Restaurants, movies, parks… I don’t recommend movies. We met, got to the theatre, watched the movie, but we didn’t actually talk, because, well, movie. How do you call that big sidewalk alongside a beach? That was awesome. Long walk just talking and listening.

What do you mean privately? I said do get into the restaurant. Meet at a mall, on a bench, in front of a store. If they appear, good, have a 5 minutes conversation and go to the restaurant.

I’m from the time of mIRC, where I met a few girls, including the one who has been my wife for the past 22 years.

Man, I saw a guy once getting stood up and I was really sad. The guy was seated, waited, asked for something small, waited more, changed tables to free space for a larger group and then paid and left. I mean, everyone here probably went on dates that got nowhere. Finish the meal, shake hands and leave separate. It’s part of life. But the golden rule is never go into the restaurant alone. Always meet outside l, somewhere else.

One of my duties in my first job was to build diskless computers. I’d record an EPROM in the station and boot from a Novell server.

What about letting you down?

Well, the Panama Canal is exactly that, built mostly that way.
