My first job was building computers with old parts. A guy needed MS Word for work but didn’t want to buy a new computer or upgrade his 386SX (25Mhz iirc). It had like 20MB of disk and I don’t recall the RAM. So he asked me if I could try. So I did. I managed to install DOS, Windows 3.1 and MS Word. I don’t remember how long it took to boot, but I remember that it would take 6 seconds for a pressed letter to appear on the screen.

So, is r/celebnsfw closing? Because it’s exactly what it is. Guy was probably the only human in a sea of bots posting there.

They linked the community, not a particular post.

One of my duties in my first job was to build diskless computers. I’d record an EPROM in the station and boot from a Novell server.

Happy mint!

But this GTA already has, no?

Unpopular opinion: I wouldn’t mind some ads in games like GTA, Need for Speed or Watchdogs. You’re driving and there’s a real ad in a billboard or in the radio station you’re listening.

Hey, I heard Boeing is hiring assassins. It’s in high demand!

I just received the update and the graphics are much better in the XBox. Everything is much more smooth.

It’s not panic. We already have direct connects to AWS and Azure. It’s something we’ve been working on for five years now.

My job estimated our VMware cost will be 10 times more expensive. We’re moving to the cloud as soon as possible.

You’re not getting it. It’s real leather from a spotted cow.

Je ne suis pas d’accord. Mercredi est le pire, peut-être plus que lundi.

So, let me tell a little story from a couple of months ago. We were migrating a big system and we discovered that it was still sending fax to some destinations. We still have a fax server running. The way it works is that we send an email to <faxnumber>@fax.mycompany.com and it will send the fax to that number.

So, we contacted the destinations and some declared that they didn’t even had faxes anymore. BUT, a few others still had them and, what a surprise, it was a fax server that would receive the fax… and transform it in an email!

Of course, we changed those services and retired the fax server.

Living in Quebec for the past 18 years, I’ve seen plenty of ICE cars dead in parking lots and driveways when the temperature drops. It’s usually the battery. But the car, when it starts, it makes a really strange noise.

More. I downloaded The Last Wish in PDF I think, but I forgot I had bought the book. After a spring cleaning I found a second copy of the book I had bought.
