| IsambardPrince | Mozilla's position on Linux is that if a feature (or the entire browser) works at all on Linux, you're just lucky. | Feb 22 01:57 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-edition.cnn.com | How Iran could strike back if Trump attacks | CNN | Feb 22 02:24 | |
| IsambardPrince | Not effectively. | Feb 22 02:24 |
| IsambardPrince | "Iranian officials claim many of the stocks used in that war have been replenished, and US officials believe that these battle-tested weapons, as well as aging Russian and American fighter jets, continue to pose a threat." | Feb 22 02:25 |
| IsambardPrince | The best fighter jets Iran has are F-14 Tomcats that were sold to the Shah's government before it collapsed in 1979. | Feb 22 02:25 |
| IsambardPrince | They haven't gotten spare parts for them since before I was born, they used up all the ammunition we sold with them in the Iran-Iraq War. | Feb 22 02:26 |
| IsambardPrince | And they've been cannibalizing them for parts for others. | Feb 22 02:26 |
| IsambardPrince | Also, Israel destroyed several of them that were on the ground last year. | Feb 22 02:26 |
| IsambardPrince | I can't see how those would be much of a threat. | Feb 22 02:26 |
| IsambardPrince | If the airframe was brand new, and they still had things like the air-to-air missiles we sold to go with them.... | Feb 22 02:27 |
| IsambardPrince | They'd still be nearly 50 years out of date. | Feb 22 02:27 |
| IsambardPrince | It costs a lot of money and requires expertise to maintain a fighter jet. | Feb 22 02:28 |
| IsambardPrince | Even Russia has a hard time with that. | Feb 22 02:29 |
| IsambardPrince | They've lost as many due to poor upkeep and pilot error as Ukraine has shot down. | Feb 22 02:29 |
| IsambardPrince | Even under perfect operating conditions and good upkeep, pilots can make mistakes. | Feb 22 02:30 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, I told mom: | Feb 22 02:33 |
| IsambardPrince | Flu season is dying down in Illinois. | Feb 22 02:34 |
| IsambardPrince | It's much higher in Indiana last week. | Feb 22 02:34 |
| IsambardPrince | Because they voted for the health secretary that said he did cocaine off of public toilets. | Feb 22 02:34 |
| IsambardPrince | We had yet another year of unrelenting flu activity in states that don't get vaccinated for the flu. | Feb 22 02:35 |
| IsambardPrince | I wonder how that works. | Feb 22 02:35 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, This guy at the laundromat walked by like 50 times smelling like weed. | Feb 22 02:38 |
| IsambardPrince | He noticed me making a face and I asked him why he was even bothering to wash his clothes. | Feb 22 02:38 |
| MinceR | and? | Feb 22 02:38 |
| IsambardPrince | He just walked off. | Feb 22 02:40 |
| IsambardPrince | With his ass hanging out of his pants. | Feb 22 02:40 |
| IsambardPrince | I always wondered why black guys do that. | Feb 22 02:40 |
| IsambardPrince | Do they want to get fucked in the ass or something and think the best way is by advertising? | Feb 22 02:40 |
| IsambardPrince | Anyway, I wonder of Brandon Lobster smells like that. | Feb 22 02:40 |
| IsambardPrince | Wakes up on the couch on top of pizza boxes. | Feb 22 02:41 |
| IsambardPrince | "Oh my God it's laundry day!" | Feb 22 02:41 |
| IsambardPrince | Goes to the HRTO: The guy at the laundry made a SOUR FACE! | Feb 22 02:41 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-en.wikipedia.org | Sagging (fashion) - Wikipedia | Feb 22 02:42 | |
| MinceR | > It is often said that the style originated from the United States prison system where belts may be prohibited to prevent their use for self-harm, and clothing provided is often over-sized, leading to sagging trousers. | Feb 22 02:42 |
| IsambardPrince | It's disgusting. Why would you even want to look like a prisoner? | Feb 22 02:43 |
| IsambardPrince | They don't even think that "doing time" is abnormal. | Feb 22 02:43 |
| IsambardPrince | It's just something that happens, you know, when you get caught doing a drive by shooting with a machine gun. | Feb 22 02:43 |

| IsambardPrince | MinceR, Crapital One decided to shit out a $500 credit line increase on my Savor card. | Feb 22 02:52 |
| IsambardPrince | Most people with high limits on their bank credit cards didn't get those limits by just leaving things where they are. | Feb 22 02:53 |
| IsambardPrince | Increasing the limits on an existing card does not hurt your credit as long as the issuer does a soft pull for CLIs. | Feb 22 02:53 |
| IsambardPrince | So that's the best way to anchor your FICO score higher. | Feb 22 02:54 |
| IsambardPrince | Increasing limits lowers utilization. | Feb 22 02:54 |
| IsambardPrince | I'm at a point now where I rarely get more than 2-3% utilization at any given time on my reports. | Feb 22 02:54 |
| IsambardPrince | FICO starts to penalize your score around 13.5% I've noticed, but the penalty doesn't get severe until you're over about half. | Feb 22 02:55 |

| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2], One of the reasons I gave up and started using ChromeOS is it just doesn't depend on PC crap and the "new" Linux stack, the bits that are unreliable. | Feb 22 18:32 |
| IsambardPrince | Like UEFI or systemd. | Feb 22 18:32 |
| MinceR | i'm thinking of ordering an Apollo A6000 | Feb 22 18:33 |
| IsambardPrince | I don't have those awful "PC problems" with this thing. The firmware doesn't cause problems, and unlike the PC if the firmware needs updated, Google just does it. | Feb 22 18:33 |
| IsambardPrince | Linux Vendor Firmware Service depends on your OEM, and most don't push UEFI updates to consumer hardware. | Feb 22 18:33 |
| IsambardPrince | It might hit you with a "Secure Boot" update from Microsoft that revokes your ability to boot things they don't want you to have. | Feb 22 18:34 |
| IsambardPrince | I recommend setting up a Linux distribution without an internet connection and removing LVFS before you proceed. | Feb 22 18:34 |
| IsambardPrince | It's a backdoor for Microsoft. | Feb 22 18:34 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | not just MSFT | Feb 22 18:34 |

| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2], Yes, LVFS is very bad. | Feb 22 18:39 |
| IsambardPrince | You can remove the repositories and then uninstall the program itself. | Feb 22 18:39 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | the firmware has holes | Feb 22 18:39 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | but the companies that make the updates | Feb 22 18:40 |
| IsambardPrince | Nothing "stops working" if you do that. | Feb 22 18:40 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | do not strive for user control | Feb 22 18:40 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | not the chinese ones | Feb 22 18:40 |
| IsambardPrince | But if you leave it there, it will sneak in blobs from Microsoft that could brick something. | Feb 22 18:40 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and not thew american ones, either | Feb 22 18:40 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | rms just says, | Feb 22 18:40 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | avoid those firmwares [sic] | Feb 22 18:40 |
| IsambardPrince | It also does it without alerting or asking you. | Feb 22 18:40 |
| IsambardPrince | So it is definitely a backdoor. | Feb 22 18:40 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | do a blog post | Feb 22 18:40 |
| IsambardPrince | LVFS is malware. | Feb 22 18:41 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | maybe reuse thw words above | Feb 22 18:41 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | you wrote about it before | Feb 22 18:41 |

| IsambardPrince | Right? | Feb 22 19:20 |
| MinceR | :> | Feb 22 19:20 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, ^ | Feb 22 19:20 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, I found an article yesterday. | Feb 22 19:20 |
| IsambardPrince | It said that Maine alone spend tens of millions of dollars on Apple computers "for education". | Feb 22 19:21 |
| IsambardPrince | And it started a wave of this across the country. | Feb 22 19:21 |
| MinceR | lol | Feb 22 19:21 |
| IsambardPrince | And now GenZ is the first American generation with lower cognitive abilities on standardized testing than their parents. | Feb 22 19:21 |
| MinceR | lol | Feb 22 19:21 |
| MinceR | and some of them probably voted to turn the usa into a dictatorship | Feb 22 19:22 |
| IsambardPrince | I guess that optical scanners, and cards you fill out with #2 pencils were too expensive. | Feb 22 19:22 |
| MinceR | lol | Feb 22 19:22 |
| IsambardPrince | They needed a $3000 laptop for every kid instead that you have to replace all the time. | Feb 22 19:22 |

| IsambardPrince | MinceR, We did have Apple computers in my class, but they were very old and we only had one per classroom. | Feb 22 19:23 |
| IsambardPrince | They were incredibly obsolete by the 90s because they were Apple IIs. | Feb 22 19:23 |
| IsambardPrince | The teacher taught us Integer BASIC though. | Feb 22 19:23 |
| IsambardPrince | It was clever, especially within the constraints of a small computer from the late 1970s. | Feb 22 19:24 |
| IsambardPrince | But Steve Wozniak was one of the few smart people at Apple and he got out of there before they had much mainstream success. | Feb 22 19:24 |
| IsambardPrince | They nearly went bankrupt by the 1990s and it was because their operating system was flaky and underperforming even by the standards of a PC with Windows 95. | Feb 22 19:25 |
| IsambardPrince | I developed an intense dislike for Mac OS in the 1990s. | Feb 22 19:25 |
| IsambardPrince | Because the operating system would hard freeze to the point where you had to go pull the power cord out of the wall to get it to shut down. | Feb 22 19:26 |
| MinceR | :> | Feb 22 19:26 |
| IsambardPrince | It was even worse than the Windows Blue Screen of Death because it would just totally freeze and lose everything and there was no key combo that rebooted the computer because the OS had completely deadlocked. | Feb 22 19:26 |
| IsambardPrince | Couldn't even show you an error screen. | Feb 22 19:26 |
| MinceR | seems like the first "computer" they "designed" specifically for stupid people was the lisa | Feb 22 19:27 |
| IsambardPrince | They have a history of designing trash for the Lowest Common Denominator. | Feb 22 19:27 |
| IsambardPrince | I hate it when people hand me an iPhone. | Feb 22 19:27 |
| IsambardPrince | And I have no idea how to make it get out of the current app and go back to the home screen. | Feb 22 19:27 |
| IsambardPrince | I've never seen this sort of backwards unintelligent GUI before. | Feb 22 19:28 |
| IsambardPrince | Even the Mac isn't that bad. | Feb 22 19:28 |
| MinceR | i thought it was supposed to be "intuitive" | Feb 22 19:28 |
| IsambardPrince | Where you can't even tap a home or back button? | Feb 22 19:28 |
| MinceR | even crapOS has utterly horrible usability | Feb 22 19:28 |
| IsambardPrince | Android copied this retarded shit from Apple, but you can put the three buttons back. | Feb 22 19:28 |
| IsambardPrince | That's the first thing I do because otherwise how do you even navigate through the phone quickly? | Feb 22 19:28 |
| MinceR | i always enable the buttons | Feb 22 19:28 |
| IsambardPrince | Yeah, I remember my first Android phone that didn't have the buttons. | Feb 22 19:29 |
| IsambardPrince | I thought I'd have to return the phone but then I realized you could turn them back on. | Feb 22 19:29 |
| IsambardPrince | Why can I program a computer and not figure out how to use an iPhone? | Feb 22 19:29 |
| *themusicfactory (~themusicfactory@mzk6egr2yer56.irc) has joined #techrights | Feb 22 19:31 | |
| IsambardPrince | I presume that with enough time and sticking enough crayons up my nose, I might figure out how to reach the home menu on an iPhone. | Feb 22 19:31 |
| MinceR | lol | Feb 22 19:31 |
| IsambardPrince | Mom loves her iPhone, she also voted for the Health Secretary that publicly admitted to snorting cocaine off of public toilets. | Feb 22 19:32 |
| IsambardPrince | SNORT SNORT VERY HEALTHY COCAINE SNORT SNORT MAKE SURE YOU ONLY EAT TALLOW FAT THESE FRIES ARE AMAZING! DON'T GET YOUR HEPATITIS VACCINE BEFORE SNORTING COKE OFF A TOILET!!! -Mom's Health Secretary | Feb 22 19:33 |
| IsambardPrince | Gee, I wonder why every vaccine preventable illness is up including the flu. | Feb 22 19:34 |
| IsambardPrince | It's almost like Idiocracy finally happened and all people are capable of is masturbation and watching NASCAR. | Feb 22 19:34 |
| MinceR | idiocracy was an optimistic treatment of the issue | Feb 22 19:34 |
| MinceR | they assumed that the dumb fuck president would recognize that someone is smart and would make use of their mind | Feb 22 19:35 |
| IsambardPrince | Yes, because as stupid as they became, they were still smart enough to know that when you found the smartest guy, you made him the president. | Feb 22 19:35 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, Camacho wasn't smart, but he did realize that people were blaming him for everything and he would lose power. | Feb 22 19:35 |
| MinceR | while in our world, people aren't blaming pedolf for what he did and he wouldn't lose power | Feb 22 19:36 |
| IsambardPrince | You don't have to be smart to have guile. Even my mom realizes that when she might be in trouble for something, she can weasel her way out of it. | Feb 22 19:38 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | hi, themusicfactory | Feb 22 19:38 |
| IsambardPrince | Don't want to pay your taxes and suffer the consequences of signing loans with two ex husbands that bled you dry? File bankruptcy! | Feb 22 19:38 |
| MinceR | yeah, there are plenty of successful idiots with ASPD | Feb 22 19:38 |
| MinceR | often also with NPD | Feb 22 19:38 |
| MinceR | and in pedolf's case, also ADHD | Feb 22 19:39 |
| IsambardPrince | She thinks she was smart for filing bankruptcy. | Feb 22 19:40 |
| IsambardPrince | If she was smart she would have lived a life that didn't lead to filing bankruptcy and renting an apartment in retirement. | Feb 22 19:40 |
| IsambardPrince | I never said that I was smart for filing bankruptcy. | Feb 22 19:41 |
| IsambardPrince | I did enjoy part of the outcome though. | Feb 22 19:41 |
| IsambardPrince | A lot of my debts landed on John and he had to resort to credit card spending to make up for me moving out. | Feb 22 19:41 |
| IsambardPrince | And he said his credit score dropped lower than mine did. | Feb 22 19:41 |
| IsambardPrince | And he's still stuck with that credit score for 7 years even though he didn't file, and he had to pay all of the debt too. | Feb 22 19:42 |

| IsambardPrince | I just looked and it seems T-Mobile has gotten even worse somehow since I left. | Feb 22 21:47 |
| IsambardPrince | In addition to my math showing how much more they'd cost me than Mint ($540 a year), they also added a $35 "device connection charge" that applies every time you upgrade your phone. | Feb 22 21:47 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, ^ | Feb 22 21:47 |
| IsambardPrince | They have to be this greedy I guess. | Feb 22 21:47 |
| IsambardPrince | $35 to "connect a device". | Feb 22 21:47 |
| MinceR | lol | Feb 22 21:48 |
| IsambardPrince | $199 to "hold the baby" on a $60,000 hospital bill. | Feb 22 21:48 |
| IsambardPrince | Well, the Trump FTC got rid of Biden's ban on junk fees. | Feb 22 21:48 |
| IsambardPrince | So enjoy paying a $35 junk fee to upgrade your phone I guess. | Feb 22 21:48 |
| MinceR | $35 for being a client of deutsche telekom for no good reason | Feb 22 21:48 |
| MinceR | the nazi collaborant telecom company | Feb 22 21:49 |
| MinceR | (as opposed to yettel and one, which are straight up owned by the pedonazis) | Feb 22 21:49 |
| IsambardPrince | It doesn't cost them anything to move your eSIM to a new phone. | Feb 22 21:50 |
| IsambardPrince | The SIM is built into the phone now. | Feb 22 21:50 |
| IsambardPrince | So they don't even have to pay 50 cents for a SIM card. | Feb 22 21:50 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, When they merged with Sprint, my phone stopped working as they shut down the Sprint Network. | Feb 22 21:50 |
| MinceR | at least a real SIM you could just take out and put it in the new phone | Feb 22 21:51 |
| IsambardPrince | They said come in for a "T-Mobile Network Experience SIM Card" that would fix that. | Feb 22 21:51 |
| IsambardPrince | And it actually caused it to get worse again. | Feb 22 21:51 |
| MinceR | i bet the suit-encrusted control freaks hated that | Feb 22 21:51 |
| MinceR | well, yeah, that's the deutsche telekom experience | Feb 22 21:51 |
| IsambardPrince | The phones didn't support all of the bands that T-Mobile used, so the phone itself was the issue. | Feb 22 21:51 |
| IsambardPrince | They shut down all the towers it was designed to work with. | Feb 22 21:51 |
| IsambardPrince | And instantly created millions of brand new phones that were e-waste the minute they hit the shelf. | Feb 22 21:52 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, Eventually they said come in and we'll replace your phone with one that's designed for our network, for free. | Feb 22 21:52 |
| IsambardPrince | So I did that, and left. | Feb 22 21:52 |
| MinceR | :> | Feb 22 21:52 |
| IsambardPrince | By that point they gave me 60 days to come in and prove I was over 55. | Feb 22 21:52 |
| IsambardPrince | So since I couldn't do that, I took two free phones and ported them out to Mint. | Feb 22 21:53 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, Sprint had a weird setup where the phones were CDMA for voice and 4G LTE for data. | Feb 22 21:54 |
| IsambardPrince | You couldn't use data while you were on the phone, until they supported Voice over LTE.. | Feb 22 21:54 |
| IsambardPrince | And even then, if you ended up somewhere where the phone fell back to 3G, that happened again. | Feb 22 21:54 |
| MinceR | :> | Feb 22 21:54 |
| MinceR | yeah, VoLTE arrived late here too | Feb 22 21:54 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, The only reason to have Sprint was they were much cheaper. | Feb 22 21:55 |
| IsambardPrince | So you put up with some quirks to save some money. | Feb 22 21:56 |
| IsambardPrince | Instead of investing in the Sprint network, they made a bunch of bungled mergers that involved taking on other failing companies' debts. | Feb 22 21:56 |
| IsambardPrince | Eventually Sprint nearly went bankrupt, and that was how I ended up on T-Mobile, it was a hostile takeover. | Feb 22 21:57 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, T-Mobile was willing to take on Sprint's debts because they shut down the network and fired almost everyone. | Feb 22 21:58 |
| MinceR | :> | Feb 22 21:58 |
| IsambardPrince | What they got was more spectrum and all of Sprint's customers, so they could double the price of service. | Feb 22 21:58 |
| IsambardPrince | The real value in mobile phone service now is in the MVNOs. | Feb 22 21:59 |
| IsambardPrince | They just play the three actual carriers that are left against each other. | Feb 22 21:59 |
| MinceR | :> | Feb 22 21:59 |
| IsambardPrince | And lease time on their networks. | Feb 22 21:59 |
| IsambardPrince | So the three carriers all started their own MVNOs. | Feb 22 21:59 |
| IsambardPrince | And they lease time from themselves and undercut themselves. | Feb 22 21:59 |
| MinceR | lol | Feb 22 22:00 |
| IsambardPrince | I'm on Mint Mobile now, which is also T-Mobile, but for some reason it costs less than 40% what a similar T-Mobile plan does. | Feb 22 22:00 |
| IsambardPrince | And it's the same network at the same speed. | Feb 22 22:00 |
| MinceR | lol | Feb 22 22:00 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, I know how we'll profit! | Feb 22 22:00 |
| IsambardPrince | First we eat Sprint. | Feb 22 22:00 |
| IsambardPrince | Then we double the bill and give them horrific service. | Feb 22 22:01 |
| IsambardPrince | Then we start our own MVNO and compete with ourselves! | Feb 22 22:01 |
| IsambardPrince | And then the smart ones will go "Fuck these people, why am I paying this?" | Feb 22 22:01 |
| IsambardPrince | But the other 90% will stay and buy data plans for tablets. | Feb 22 22:01 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, Then you can stay, leave, or switch to their sub-brand, and they don't actually care. | Feb 22 22:03 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, BASIC is not entirely obsolete, you still can program in it and it even has GTK bindings. | Feb 22 22:04 |
| IsambardPrince | I haven't found anything that actually uses such though. | Feb 22 22:05 |
| MinceR | i don't want to use BASIC nor GTK | Feb 22 22:05 |
| IsambardPrince | Perhaps someone can tell me. | Feb 22 22:05 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, It would be more interesting if it had Qt or FLTK bindings. | Feb 22 22:05 |
| *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has left #techrights | Feb 22 22:05 | |
| MinceR | and if it wasnt BASIC | Feb 22 22:05 |
| MinceR | s/nt/n't/ | Feb 22 22:05 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, GTK4 is so bad that even Mozilla said they can't port the GTK bindings to it. | Feb 22 22:05 |
| IsambardPrince | So I have no idea what their plan is for when GTK3 no longer even has minor updates anymore. | Feb 22 22:06 |
| IsambardPrince | Fork it? Switch to Qt? | Feb 22 22:06 |
| IsambardPrince | Maybe Firefox won't exist anymore and they'll have Mozilla.ai | Feb 22 22:06 |
| IsambardPrince | It's already close to that point anyway. | Feb 22 22:06 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, The Mexicans upstairs were blasting their stereo. | Feb 22 22:07 |
| IsambardPrince | So I turned mine on full blast and put in Chinese Democracy by GNR. | Feb 22 22:07 |
| IsambardPrince | No particular reason. It's just what I grabbed. | Feb 22 22:10 |
| IsambardPrince | You know, the IRS is doing immigration enforcement now. | Feb 22 22:10 |
| IsambardPrince | Trump pretty much shut down the criminal investigation division, so people who cheat on their taxes probably won't be prosecuted. | Feb 22 22:10 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, Orkin sprays to make sure the neighbor's cockroaches die when they come into my apartment. | Feb 22 22:11 |
| IsambardPrince | They randomly schedule appointments and it says in my service agreement that if I'm not home they'll put down that they sprayed outside and charge me anyway. | Feb 22 22:11 |
| IsambardPrince | I get on there and reschedule for the days that I will be here. | Feb 22 22:12 |
| IsambardPrince | I told the guy "You come out when I'm not here and spray outside and bill me, I'll schedule a free touch up and you'll come out here again." | Feb 22 22:12 |
| IsambardPrince | I'm not going to pay them for not coming and treating inside. | Feb 22 22:12 |
| IsambardPrince | This time I was pissed at them because my sticky traps caught three cockroaches. | Feb 22 22:13 |
| IsambardPrince | I demanded that they come out and spray insect growth regulator. | Feb 22 22:13 |
| IsambardPrince | So they did. | Feb 22 22:13 |
| IsambardPrince | Those stop the baby roaches from maturing. Instead, they just die without reproducing. | Feb 22 22:13 |
| IsambardPrince | It tells me that the bait stations and the various sprays like Suspend will get most of them, but that stragglers survive and there's still an occasional roach. | Feb 22 22:14 |
| IsambardPrince | If I'm catching three across the entire house in 4 months, it's likely not an infestation, but you don't want to see even one. Ever. | Feb 22 22:14 |
| IsambardPrince | The exterminator told me that if the guy next door moves out, hurry up and schedule him to come out for a free touch up and he'll get the adjoining walls really good. | Feb 22 22:16 |
| IsambardPrince | Because "once they're not finding food over in his place, they'll fan out". | Feb 22 22:16 |

| IsambardPrince | MinceR, Shell is doing some NASCAR tie-in. | Feb 22 22:42 |
| IsambardPrince | I don't watch races, but the promotion at Shell is 22 cents a gallon off every Sunday that stacks on your other discounts. | Feb 22 22:42 |

| MinceR | doesn't matter if it's useless for text editing, just bury it under a mountain of features nobody will use | Feb 22 22:44 |
| MinceR | in the new school microslop approach, the features are security features that you won't interact with (and that won't make you secure) | Feb 22 22:45 |
| MinceR | oh, and a new skin on the GUI every year that's sold as some massive upgrade | Feb 22 22:45 |

| IsambardPrince | The neighbor that smokes weed and makes my living room stink and blasts his stereo through my wall complained that I was coming in too loudly at night and waking him up. | Feb 22 23:10 |
| IsambardPrince | So now I make sure that happens. | Feb 22 23:10 |
| MinceR | :> | Feb 22 23:11 |
| IsambardPrince | He's so nasty the cockroaches are probably complaining. | Feb 22 23:11 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-en.wikipedia.org | Integer BASIC - Wikipedia | Feb 22 23:22 | |
| IsambardPrince | "The only numeric data type was the integer; floating-point numbers were not supported. Using integers allowed numbers to be stored in a compact 16-bit format that could be more rapidly read and processed than the 32- or 40-bit floating-point formats found in most BASICs of the era. This made it so fast that Bill Gates complained when it outperformed Microsoft BASIC in benchmarks. However, this also limited its applicability as a | Feb 22 23:22 |

| IsambardPrince | LOL | Feb 22 23:23 |

| IsambardPrince | MinceR, Integer Basic was over twice as fast in most cases vs. Microsoft's on the 1 Mhz 6502. | Feb 22 23:48 |
| IsambardPrince | Microsoft's wasn't written to avoid unnecessary memory reads and writes and had other problems. | Feb 22 23:49 |
| IsambardPrince | But eventually Apple licensed it anyway. | Feb 22 23:49 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, So apparently a person who used to live here that had 8 W2 forms come here somehow (fraud of some kind) also slammed into someone without car insurance. | Feb 22 23:53 |
| IsambardPrince | And the other driver's insurance is sending her letters certified mail and won't stop even though I call them and say she doesn't live here. | Feb 22 23:53 |
