- I think all the listed software is available for download in the website still-active BBS: scenelist.org:23 (I only tried the web interface briefly).
- The NFO Search section is pure gold. I'm glad someone preserved all this.
- Also: “Everything’s computer!”
- Input < Product Value < Output.
This is the equation. When you quote on the input - that's the time you need to do the job, you multiply your rate for the weeks/days/hours, plus maybe some other expenses. This is the so-called "Hours and materials".
When you quote on the output, you take in consideration the overall value/gains you client will make by your work. This is called "value-based" pricing.
This equation is unbreakable, if your input is grater than the client output (ROI), something is very wrong, or completely illegal.
Some says value-based pricing is the holy grail for pricing anything, but if you're smart enough, you already understood that, based on circumstances, sometimes it makes more sense to quote on the input, other times on the output. Just do the math.
This may be a classic example of "value-based" pricing. It doesn't matter how long you take to make a static HTML page (input), the client overall project budget is probably over $100K (as stated by op), it's totally ok for them to invest ~20% of it to make sure it delivers on time and by specs.
- I also don't understand this: Everyone with the right domain can ssh-in the vm?
Edit: Answered below, thank you.

- As I remember, the blue ones where the most ordinary (and boring), at least for 3½-inch size. For 5¼-inch, they were mostly black, but I remember some of them in colors too (especially orange or yellow ones, they were beautiful).

- Not only from 2010 to 2020, I would say from 00s to 20s, starting with the so-called "Web 2" era. There was this incredible optimistic force. We were in a golden age and we didn't know. Now, it should be clear we are in full decadence, towards dark ages.
- Also, at the end of the article:
It's basically the same data in a more mobile-friendly table.> Appendix > The by-category margins are repeated in this table. - They will. This optimization will bring a future made of one-man companies who will keep busy vibe coding and asking business decisions to AI agents. The answers will be poor as ever, so on that side nothing will change, I guess.
- Well, I guess I was lucky! More seriously: I just followed a local that suggested this, and he knew the right way but from what I remember, it wasn't that hard to catch the right ferry. And, honestly, after so many hours of train, I was happy to physically move around and not wait another 40+ minutes.
- If your destination is Messina or even Catania, you can can save some time leaving the train in Villa San Giovanni (last stop before the train will be loaded into the ferry) and, literally, jump on the first ferry that is starting, so you save all the time needed to load and unload the train.
No one will ask you for a ticket (no one will ask for anything, actually). Or at the least it was like this some twenty years ago when I did it.
- Twenty years ago people went to great lenghts to run the best OS available at that time on cheap commodity x86 hardware with hackintoshes. Fast forward to today, similar efforts are made to run linux on the best hardware available. It's funny how things turn around.
- There was no personal profit. He bought a ticket he never used, just to show to people on twitter how bad the system was. He could have silently taken advantage of his discovery and travel at no cost for a long time peraphs. But no.
Sounds more like vulnerability reasearch than crime to me.
- Come on, a kid was just fooling around with the developer console and probably had a curiosity just like the comment above:
> Did you try adjusting price?
And he was punished for "hacking", not for stealing, and for indirectly putting to shame who was responsible for the epic fail.
- A kid in Hungary was arrested for exactly this (and it was a cheap bus ticket): https://www.bitdefender.com/en-us/blog/hotforsecurity/budape...
- Any reason for this? Is it something temporary or it will never be supported?
- That's a possibility. The thing is, I can't see a pattern. Even from the same provider, some mails are hitting my inbox, others are correctly filtered. It looks totally random and it's quite frustrating.
- Maybe someone can explain this to me: Since forever Gmail auto-organized my newsletter/commercial emails with the `Notification`/`Promotional` labels, skipping the inbox, without special filters like this one.
Then, by a year or so, more and more promotional/commercial emails appeared in my inbox, and nowadays I delete 10/20 of those emails from my inbox daily. I don't understand as it worked flawlessly before. So, what happened here? Google fucked up this functionality or there is more?
Thank you!

- There are millions of gamers that await to play GTA VI, then you read the news and it looks like the whole word has turned in some silly real life GTA VI already (although, an happy ending is not guaranteed). It's shocking.
- Part 1 was already online since forever. Part 2 however, never seen the light. I wonder if it was just undone or because of some content in there....
- Number of syllables.
"Angeles" has 3, and is already too much. So they say L.A. (2 syllables).
It's the same reason you call New York in full (not N.Y.), as it's already 2 syllables.
