I will never forget the joys of the playing Half-Life 1 on max settings with my Diamond Monster3D Voodoo2.

I found happiness. I am almost done with it. You want it after me?

dear introverts, what can I answer to a needy and clingy coworker who believes not talking means something's wrong (with me), so he leaves me alone? in c/[email protected]

This is good advice. Keep the conversation short, formal and boring. Bring up the weather as a signal there is little of interest in the conversation. When you are ready to disengage say “I will let you get back to your work now”

You should name it Hawk, so people can call it Hawk-Tui.

Why is the perspective in the final frame taken from inside of the jail cell? Are we the viewer also in jail? Shouldn't we be viewing it behind bars from the other side? What did we the viewing audience do? Are we culpable since just by viewing this?

We had one case where a line had been strung over a lighting ballast in a janitor closet. Whenever that light was turned on the whole network would go down. Since it was only on for a few minutes intermittently it was a nightmare to find. You would go looking for the a bad terminator and the network would come back before you checked a single one. Good times.

Charles C. Mann interviews Neal Stephenson on his new book "Polostan" (www.youtube.com)
 

This is the first installment in a monumental new series called Bomb Light - an expansive historical epic of intrigue and international espionage, presaging the dawn of the Atomic Age. Set against the turbulent decades of the early twentieth century, Polostan is an inventive, richly detailed, and deeply entertaining historical epic from Stephenson, whose prior books include "Cryptonomicon" and "The Baroque Cycle". Our conversation host for this evening is Charles C. Mann, journalist & author of "1491: New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus" and "The Wizard and The Prophet". Mann has also given two Long Now Talks.

I liked it so much I tore through it in a couple of days! The worst part is waiting for the next in the series since he has announced there will be at least two and possibly three more in what he is calling the "bomb light" series.

So is Visual Studio basically dead at this point? Are any new programmers choosing to use it?

What Ever Happened to Netscape? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

Yes, but no.

The source code for Netscape Navigator was open-sourced and has become Mozilla Firefox. The company Netscape is now a mostly defunct brand while Mozilla is a non-profit, public benefit company in service to the Mozilla Foundation, and the Mozilla community.

Why just post an article title to a pay-walled link with no context? Who is this for?

Just finished the new Neal Stephenson book, Polostan. Part of it takes place during the 1934 Chicago World's Fair. Love this iconography, which is prominent in the book.

This is fascinating! As I understand it, driven by the enlightenment and the industrial revolution, men rejected beauty in favor of rationality and standardization. Men apparently traded in high-heels for a pocket-watch.

Attack Surface Diet (www.evilsocket.net)
 

"A remote unauthenticated attacker can silently replace existing printers’ (or install new ones) IPP urls with a malicious one, resulting in arbitrary command execution (on the computer) when a print job is started (from that computer)."

Just spent some time removing CUPS from my Linux servers where it is not needed and only added to my attack surface. What other services should be removed from Linux servers?
