An assault charge is likely relevant for most positions. If I hire a convicted felon with a track record of assault and they end up assaulting another employee or customer, I’d feel responsible. The victim would probably hold me legally res

I can't believe anyone would do a study about this for two reasons. First, well, duh. Don't need a study to tell you this. Second, was this done for someone to explain why they're not successful? A lot of people want to justi

I've programmed in 6502 Assembly for decades and your skepticism is right on. These comparisons have so many variables that they are extremely hard to make accurately. FTA - I would have guessed that the 8088 is much faster at about t

One of the most rewarding things I have done in the past few years is learned component-level repair on Commodore 64s. Take a dead 64 showing nothing but a black screen, try the dead test cartridge, follow its lead or start desoldering, soc

Easily 90%+ of the faults on Commodore 64s, especially the early models. My Christmas 1982 model died with a faulty PLA well within the warranty period.

My first IBM compatible was a 10 MHz 8088. Never had a compatibility problem but if I had I would’ve just needed to hit the ol’ Turbi button to bring it down to 4.77 MHz.

I called almost exclusively local BBSes with my 300 bps modem starting in 1985. There was no local Compuserve dial-in number for me. Between the long distance and the per minute charges, Compuserve was out of reach. By the way, your 1200 bp
