Good riddance! Back in my day we had character cells, and we had pixels. Is it not self evident that the entire browser ecosystem is wholly dysfunctional and psychotic? Personally, I'm holding out for left-align text as a service that

I've seen plenty of windows centric IT departments that would try to ban this from being installed. This act of admission will just be to iconoclastic for all those really enterprisey entrenched forces. You know the type.

I installed it on simh a few weeks ago. It took a few tries, but compared to the netbsd which I never did get 100%, it was a smooth ride. Now where did I save that...

Life Tip: Most of the time, things at work are not going to go your way. Most of the time, you will not be rewarded, recognized, or even treated fairly. You will also always see others with seemingly the opposite experience. This is baselin

Ran out of RAM or address space? I've run out of RAM trying to ridiculous stuff like native builds on tiny embedded systems (due to whack code bases that wouldn't cross compile). Though, in the end I overcame this with even more p
