What part of NY are you in? Here in northern Central NY we’ve been ‘abnormally dry’ all summer long. The forecasters keep promising rain, but it’s little more than a sprinkle when it arrives. Lawns are brown. Trees are dropping leaves, but

Point taken. It's not what I remember of CA in the 90's, when I was an analyst at a consulting firm. They may have changed strategy in the later aughts. Or, I could be completely wrong. As you say, it was the place where products

Never thought I'd be able to say this, but Broadcom has out-CA'd Computer Associates. For those not familiar with CA, their model was to buy up failed enterprise software companies and milk the s@*t out of the licensing and suppor

It was dumber than that. Governor Raimondo worked out a loan with the Fenway group that bought the franchise that would keep the team in Pawtucket. The speaker of the House wouldn’t let the bill come to a vote, so the deal died. (I don’t re

I know of one: the U.S. Naval Observatory near Flagstaff, Arizona. I lived in Flagstaff in 1979. I knew the astronomer and visited him at the observatory at night. He showed me a terminal running Forth that could control the telescope. I’m

For $70 a month? Holy guacamole! Where are you, that you get such good rates? We’re lucky to have fiber, but we pay $60 for 100 mbps. (Edited to correct cost of fiber as part of telecom bill.)

I don't have data, but I do have anecdotal evidence to contradict #1. I live in upstate NY, where farm land is cheap (in relative terms). We are seeing an influx of Amish, who can no longer afford land in Ohio and Pennsylvania. (To be

Care to back up that claim? Can you point/link to research papers that demonstrate the misinterpretation?

Amen, brother, sing it! Therein lies the problem: the texture of GF breads at room temp. No matter the incantations, or the application of chemical ingredients, no one has conquered the problem of dry, crumbly GF bread. The only solution se

Don't forget to include Joel Garreau's "The Nine Nations of North America". The theme is similar, but the outcome is slightly different.

The fdm project is dead. The Sourceforge project page returns 404, and the Github repository hasn't been updated since 2014. (And the Sourceforge mailing list returns 404 as well.) The code probably works, but don't expect any hel

Ah, OK. Tho', I never took Andelson's class ... Learned about the Amanas through independent research. As for the Amish, they're here in NY. Not what you would think. A good start is Amish Society, by Hostetler.

Did you live in Grinnell, or go to the college? If you weren't a student I could understand. If you were a student, why didn't you ask Prof. Andelson? He did his PhD work in the colonies. The colonies are definitely a good place t

That has not been my experience with Dell. My new UP2516D kept going black several times a day, with no apparent cause. I couldn't replicate the problem using the laptop with same DP cable, same laptop port on my wife's U2311H. De

Thanks. I've looked at the AC Lite and the AC PRO also, but haven't narrowed the search for a small box to run the router. Seems the box you linked to has only 1 ethernet port. How do you connect to both WAN and AP?

Which MiniPC did you use? I'm considering a similar setup, so options to consider would be welcome.

That's pretty cool. Do you have a website? I have questions, and you probably have answers. (Like, how do IT-averse businesses manage the text/graphics/etc? ... and so on)

Do you have a source for that quote? I don't doubt it; I'd like to have a source to refer others to.

Ummm, no. Irrational tho' it may seem, local, regional and national resistance has made Yucca Mountain untenable. So we're back to dry cask and concrete, which is not a long term solution.

Did it take much effort to adapt the method to writing left-handed? I'm always leery of "writing methods", since so many fall down when attempted with the left hand. (I'm not sure any method would work for me. I was taug
