I served 60 months of the 70 month sentence. I had a computer restriction, so I couldn't be around a computer. Since I wasn't able to use computers or the Internet for that time, I did/read/learned a lot of things I wou

My TI-85 story. While I was in prison, around 1996 or 1997, I found out a friend had a TI-85 calculator. I realized it was programmable, so I borrowed it over the weekend and wrote a program to track his stock portfolio. It was the first

I went through similar crap with University of Texas at Austin when I wrote Classgrabber around 2002. Universities are pathetic when it comes to this stuff. If a CS student (or any student) does anything to show how incompetent their own

I see no comments so far about the Corporate Transparency Act[1] and how it affects privacy with LLCs, etc. The US government will soon have a database of all (complying) beneficial owners. This database will eventually be hacked, leaked,

Is this from personal knowledge? If so, can you explain how you know this? I ask because I lived there for 5 years, and anytime I sold dollars for pesos, the cuevas (the place that does the exchange) were extremely picky as to which $100 b

It's weird they mentioned something about how you can do 8K video editing with Premier Pro, but didn't mention Final Cut Pro X. Are they killing FCPX?

Once you have 1000 hours of real experience (hopefully in different types, not all in the same Cessna 172), 20 hours should be plenty for an L-39 type. Guys with previous military experience may only need 10 hours. I had no military exper
