Happy Birthday CIC! Was that an album on Apple Radio or something?>

Looking at it, it'll be close. It's too close to call right now.

It's Weird Science the movie, not the TV series. And I was wondering about the date (is there a remake in the works?) since I'd forgotten about Robert Downey Jr's past - if there's ever a tale of cleaning up one's life, it's his.

Heh, high memory was a really neat hack. Though I thought later versions of DOS let you do that too. Ah, QEMM. What was the task switcher called?

2000 is 15 years ago - things have changed significantly in the decade and a half. Source code control systems have changed, documentation is lost, and no one remembers where the database was put so you can check the code out again, or figure out that since such an old version was used, the new...

For me, well, the games machine was always tied up (desktop PC) so my stuff had to be done on a laptop PC. But at least that laptop was MINE, and even though sound was hit and miss, I could play with it as I wanted to. With the desktop and it's nice soundcard and whopping 8MB of RAM, well...

One of the experiments on it was created by Grade 7 students in Kamloops, BC. I'm sure that class is heartbroken over the loss... (they're in Grade 8 now). http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/antares-rocket-explosion-kamloops-students-lose-science-experiment-1.2816319

Heh. I bought a computer in 1996 with a 2GB hard drive. I remember I upgraded it with a humongous 20GB one sometime in 1998 or so. And I had a laptop with a 6GB hard drive, purchased around 1998 as well. I still think the harder part was managing the hard drive. At least I had a 56k modem so I...

Heck, I don't think it was just the all-night download, it was the disk management as well. 112MB was huge when your hard drive was only 10GB. Or smaller.

Yeah, it doesn't make sense. CD-ROM drives HAVE to deal with 74-minute discs because that's the standard length. (Supposedly the wife of the Sony president wanted a particular classical music piece to fit on the entire disc without splitting). 60 minutes doesn't really buy you much at all -...

It would be interesting - I mean, a 2015 release would mean primary filming would going strong right now - either wrapping up if it's a spring release, or starting if they plan a holiday 2015 release (there are long lead times - after primary filming it goes into post and VFX which can easily...

Ooh, I think I got that game during a steam sale, never tried it, like about 90% of games on my steam list...

Most of the time they are, though due to local restrictions, they may have to provide a different game. A few times this has happened in Europe. For PS+, both North American, European and Japanese PSNs have offered completely different games, so it can get confusing since most of the time they...

Looks interesting. Guess we'll have to see how long it takes me to hit my first request for money.

Depends on the magazine. Some magazines were designed to sell ads, so the "content" in them was really just generated from the press kit and perhaps a few minutes of demo play. The better ones would actually review something - either the full version itself, a demo, or a prerelease version that...

To avoid going through the process of capturing, a lot of companies had press kits with screenshots. Marketing would just use those press kits (which often have high-res "camera ready" artwork for publishing) It wouldn't surprise me that the coincidental screenshots (or almost all of them) came...

Could you put them into a collection or something? Considering there's 45 pages of 30 ships (or what passes for ships...) it's a bit of work trying to find each one...A one-stop place would make it much easier.

I saw that Academy DVD. Automated pricing bots are always fun on Amazon. Some of the more expensive books on Amazon - got a spare few million? http://www.michaeleisen.org/blog/?p=358

Is it only on Amazon and iTunes? I can't find it on Netflix or Hulu... Amazon doesn't cover Canada, and it's expensive on iTunes Canada. Netflix seems to know about it, but doesn't have it. Hulu just has the trailer.

Dammmmmmmmnnnnn That was GOOD! I'm impressed.
