Either way, assuming I can find a large stick or rock, I’d have enough patience to do a manual physical uninstall and get back to my solitude. So I think I’d be pretty ambivalent.
I guess smashing the shit out of windows would be slightly more satisfying - but that’s not really the main reason I’m alone in the woods.

And yes - before you ask the obvious follow-up - I have smashed the shit out of a thinkpad in the past, they’re not as tough as people say they are; it’s mostly false bravado. Don’t be afraid to stand up to the bully (ymmv).

napoleon vs neopolitan icecream maybe ?

We have a problem with testing.

“Management” identifies problem “testing” adds word “lead”.

Issues job advert, recruits, problem solved?

. . . third “testing lead” in 2 years . . . “it’s so hard to recruit”

oh i was just making a stupid joke about 2KB.
I didn’t realise there was an actual other y2k problem.

How did they get to a 32 bit problem within only 2038 years?
Oh is it like 32 bit counter of seconds or some dumb shit like that.
Stupid shortcut data structures.
That said I’d better check the RTC module in my arduino alarm clock.
It’s a clock module though so i assume it was designed by someone who gives time enough respect to store the data properly.

Year 2030 will not start before year 2029 has ended.
I think it’s not til year 2048 that we get the actual Y2K bug at which point I’m a bit less sure.

freetube?

Teaching them to to obey dumb instructions from incompetent bosses.
Very useful skill.

Control and/or ownership of the means of production should be more distributed among or more accountable to the people who use those means.

shareware - I mean they probably didn’t make much money.

But apogee, epic, id all came fom releasing shareware initially.
but also nethack and all that stuff.

I can’t really remeber how it worked, but i think you got these bundles of paper stapled pamphlets for free with hundreds of shareware packages listed with a few lines of text describing each one.

If you didn’t have BBS, you sent a real mail back to a distributor and they send you disks in the post ffor a fairly small charge.

Some shareware was so good the magazines had to cover it (for example, doom)

Also i think there just werent as many big budget titles back then (on PC),
Consoles probably had most of the money.
elite 2 was massive, but still only 1 bloke i think.

Continue . . . 10 . . . 9 … . 8

I don’t know if it was really worse, but magazines did cost money.

Most magazines that I used to buy had coverdisks with demo versions.

If the demo was no good it didn’t matter what the review said. And they can’t really get away with describing things that are proven false in the demo.

Worst thing would be a great demo but very little more in the main game.

But I wasn’t going to pay a lot for a game if I’d not played the demo a lot.
Frankly that also proved it’d run ok on my usually very old HW.

As for getting lots of other peoples opinions - not as important if you have a decent demo.

there’s a frood so hoopy he would be able to avoid giving treefiddy to the ravenous bugblatter beat of traal

what if they became united?

i think they do.
lots of the newer “scientific” names for stuff are made up latin sounding words.

@iasip delicious nose clams!

I think they’re meming that 4 that was their total yield from all the plants they were able over the 2 months.

if you were to grow your own you’d probably be limited by something - space , light, and soil quality, and weather (maybe)

that’s probably why you say “if”

I keep all my friends named alphabetically:
Alan, Brian, Catherine, Dinesh . . .
It just makes it so much neater when i need to use simultaneous equations to figure out one of their unknown attributes.
