Cause he's a mean motor scooter and a bad go-getter.

  1. "UPDATE: A happy ending for at least one of the suspects, Brian Catlin, who went on to a prosperous career in computers and currently still works for Microsoft and lives in Hawaii."
  2. "Comments from computer chief Ellie Gillespie, who was angry but not enough to determine whether if they were just fooling around or actually committing a crime, and Lt. John Ryle of the Chicago Police Department, who estimates DePaul's loss from this to be around $22,000 and that their extortion demand in and of itself was a crime."
  3. Exactly what I was hoping... LucasFilm made some great games.
  4. Two new peer-reviewed papers claim thousands of unexplained light flashes in vintage Palomar telescope images show statistical ties to nuclear tests and UFO reports. Not everyone agrees with the paper's conclusion.
  5. I see the author implemented a true circuit board.
  6. All is ok now that Trump received the FIFA Peace Prize trophy and wearable medallion.
  7. Median age of ownership? Skews older now I'm guessing.

    I was talking about the younger crowd trying to get a start.

  8. When we bought our first home, a townhouse, in the early 1990s the builder only sold to people that were going to live in said home. They helped save the down payment and made sure that utility payments (gas/electric) were under a certain amount each month (super insulated and heated with a hybrid hot water system). Bigelow Homes, they were on a few This Old House episodes in the 80s.

    It would be nice to see that again, the new housing market is ridiculous now.

  9. DAT was the promised land..
  10. Dividing things into useful/not useful isn't very useful.
  11. I've never been paywalled with The Verge.
  12. I guess that depends on your point of view. From the current administrations POV, I'm sure they think things are indeed great (again).
  13. How else is one to get the clicks?
  14. Same.. however I've been using Alterslash as a story summary for years.

  15. yeah, it's around, but a ghost of its former glory.
  16. "memory manufacturers have been operating on the margins of profitability for quite a while now."

    The manufacturers are scumbags is more likely answer.
