From the article: "[Ron Milner] remembered showing it off to some buddies at a county fair when the game first came out, but that was 40 years ago!" Perhaps it did?

Parchives. Great for adding recovery to any file. :) I use them [now par2cmdline-tbb] religiously for archives. I started doing this years ago after having CD-R's burned on a drive (Plextor, no less) that I started having a hard time r

Bitdefender likes to revert to default settings frequently. I prefer Windows Firewall (Win7) and have to turn off the Bitdefender firewall usually at least once a week.

A regional (to me) real estate web site that we had to work with had a data service that output XML. It was naively implemented and managed to output malformed XML. Mostly in the form of a CSV field crammed into an XML field with non-confor

A few jobs ago (factory automation), we had a story from one of our projects where a device (would have been a PLC or relay panel) was failing. Rather than dust, metal filings had gotten into the case and were shorting out connections. A &q

My work machine is not nearly that beefy. :| I do often have 8-10 cmd windows open. According to task manager on my machine, each PS instance on start is 90-100MB. I didn't dig deeper to see if that RAM usage would shrink over time.

I know we have machines with lots of RAM now, but at 90-100MB (PS) vs 4MB (CMD) [1] RAM usage per instance (not counting the conhost instance that also spawns), I think I would still want CMD around. [1] Quick check done on my Win7x64 lapto

OTOH, progressive JPEGs tend to require much more memory to decode. I do not have specific numbers to cite. Only going off of anecdotal usage of image programs over the years (e.g., Java photo uploaders that choked on progressive JPEGs).
