I support the napping for productivity without having artificial stimulants (OK, natural organic drugs) involved. The studies likely involved mostly habitual users rather than unindoctrinated subjects, but from the abstracts' documenta

This is what I am always saying in relation to funding, even though I usually don't mention it directly. Any capitalist will profit from backing you through thick & thin. So much so that you need to choose your capitalist as carefu

That's what I thought when I first started innovating in the mature technical field of petro/chemical analysis. It would require a lot of self-dedication. Since I was already a young performance leader, I stuck with it and avoided

In my case I just used the Atari trackball to point & click (& drag) for my own purposes when programming my regular Atari in early 1982. About 5years later when mouses started to become popular because popular PC software began mou

I like what knighthacker says too. I have thought for a long time that a good choice for a 50/50 business arrangement is where both parties feel perfectly comfortable each doing 60% of the actual needed work indefinitely. With the righ

I sure have found a lot more discarded PC's than I have toasters. If you can't produce a system (hardware, software, and "support" if absolutely necessary) which can outlast a toaster by design (decade or two at least),

If it's an electronic product, the customer rightly expects it to last as long as other familiar electronic products. If it's an expensive product then the customer rightly expects it to last much longer than comparable items of l

Old pre-PC data systems which had COM (RS-232) ports could be directly connected to (dumb or smart) terminals by a simple RS-232 cable. To remotely communicate, each device would need to add a modem to interface across regular ordinary phon

Polycarbonate bottles were not in widespread consumer use back in 1970. Even though this particular polymer was originally discovered over 100years ago, and relatively modern production techniques were patented in the '50's, wides

On most PC's in BIOS (or UEFI) you can set the default boot order however you want, to prioritize USB, HDD, CDROM, Network, even floppy still. This has been the norm for about 10years at least, so that way you get the boot order best f

Well, ya never know sometimes. Anyone who is serious, I have built a very high quality phono preamp (well-proven prototype) especially for digitizing not only 45's & 33's (which adhere to the RIAA equalization curve), but also

Well, if you all are into old games vs PC other than just Tetris, there's always Acquire which was originally a 3M board game from the 1960's. That was when I played it as a young teenager in the Academic Games Club at our intere

That's what broadband was for. So you could have dramatically better speeds than the vast majority of users. That way, pages which nominally took 20 slow seconds to load over a phone modem, would appear instantly for you if you were pr
