This. In my 40s I asked my doc what I should get screened for and when. He said to wait until 50. Now I wait here on death row with stage 4 colorectal cancer.

Somebody posted 'Adobe Photoshop 1.0 Source Code (1990)' recently so I think this post is some kind of smartass response to that.

I recall that it was possible to squeeze a disk cache in too, which made a nice difference for performance.

A YT'er named 'Spoony' also made a thorough, entertaining retrospective of the Ultimas, and even caps it off with an interview with Lord British!

I loved U7 and 7.5, but those were the last ones I played because the series somewhat went off the rails after that. Pity.

I'm thinking that Valve's new SteamBox will help this tremendously.

Exactly. Now that the facade of being a country with integrity and equality is thoroughly shattered, good luck getting public support for shutting down a website that lets people read news for free. Shit's on fire yo; we got bigger p

Yes like the Ottawa Treaty banning Land Mines, in which 166 inconsiderate countries failed to consider the needs of big-time land-mine manufacturers like the US. /s

From the title, I expected to see a list of recently-generated random numbers. I got a 27 yesterday.

Is anybody who identifies strongly with a political party is interested in hearing fair or balanced news? I had presumed that they just want to hear confirmation, and are likely to stray far beyond their favorite echo chambers.

"Israel accused the IPC of lowering the second threshold of acutely malnourished children for a famine declaration, which the IPC has denied." Damn, Israel is really arguing about how much child starvation they are allowed to infl

Yeah, I do see where you're coming from. But just like with traditional media, Wikipedia as a "knowledge commons" maybe requires a slight left bias to guard against entrenched power and to raise awareness of marginalized per

Back when I did embedded development full-time I always lusted after QNX, but the costs and royalties were higher than what our low-volume product could justify. Or maybe we were just cheapskates.

As a PC enthusiast, I can't remember a time when PC upgrades were less necessary than nowadays. For the average user and even semi-enthusiast, 5+yo hardware with Win10 works just fine. I just upgraded last year, but it was probably th

The page calls 320×200×256 "Mode X" but IIRC that was actually 320×240×256 wasn't it?

I pretty much assume that all product review sites are at worst crooked and at best biased. Is there a "meta review" site like metacritic, but for products?

Cool! I hope this supports my Yi cameras someday. They added advertising to their app so now every time I gotta check my cams I first need to dismiss ads. That's a fabulous way to piss off customers.

It is definitely part of TikTok's mission to sow dissent in free western countries. And considering that the majority of people in those countries have lousy critical thinking skills, they'll readily believe stuff like this. That
