Are you thinking of Daisy wheel? Dot matrix uses a set of pins arranged in a matrix that they ram forward to press the ribbon against the paper. Daisy wheel uses a raised character glyph and slams it forward into the ribbon. Every typewriter I've used has full glyphs.

The thing to remember about US states is that conceptually they are countries bound together in a Federation. There's a crap ton of complicated rules, but generally your state has a lot more power over your life than the US Federal Government does.

If you want just load the dos net ios/smb stack (or a tcp stack) and go to town.

Maybe a dipshit blonde wasn't paying attention and caused the problem? Sometimes facts really do follow stereotypes.

I would say something a little different. The kernel is a _library_ that has an init routine you can provide the function for. Or put another way, without the kernel your go program would have to have drivers statically compiled into it. This was the world of DOS, btw.

Don't be a professionally offended troll. Man is the generic word for the species.

How exactly are you going to use a service that requires login if the login requires an authorized device you don't have?

If we're going full reductio ad absurdum and taking snipes instead of conversation, then maybe the appropriate response is: You can be poor all you want, but don't expect someone else to subsidize your life.

Unfortunately, that's not true. Article 1 gives congress very broad budgetary powers. Basically congress can spend money how they want, including bribing universities.

(dropped the snark) Racist means grouping according to race, or potentially geographic origins. The word for what you're describing is probably closest to discriminatory, or prejudicial.

However, misanthropic is probably more correct as the paper applies to all people negatively.
