2019 January - finally fed up with Google News. Lurking heavily since... 2019? Wait, is that all?

Phone nut ever since Grandma got yelled at by operator for playing on payphone with grandson. That was way, way over 50 years ago.

Awesome, awesome. My old copy of "Beneath Apple DOS" is still sitting on a shelf across the room - this brings the memories flooding back.

I'd completely forgotten, but this brought it back. In the 70's, the father of a friend in high school was building a plane in the basement. I remember there were pieces spread all over, and my friend was telling me how much easier it was, as his father was using all metric system measurements.

Whew... the continuous motion started triggering migraine symptoms until I closed the window.

But it does have a nice 3d effect. For me, the cycle speed seems excessive. I believe someone suggested tying wiggle effect to mouse movement?

Thanks mentioning acrylics. Now I'm wondering if new technology will eventually improve our printing to allow better colors in news media, and even in prints in art exhibits?

Does anyone have any comments on the future of printed media?

The article is still pretty cool, even though the discussion brings up some issues with their arithmetic.

I probably would have agreed 50 years ago, but it's a bit hard now. Fortunately, select-all boosted the contrast nicely. ;)

thank god we weren't still using paper tape & punch cards, everything was old crt terminals, and online storage (though not very much)

Used several of these at school in the 90's. IIRC intro classes used VAX/VMS (was the machine called VAX-1170?). But all the higher undergrad classes used Unix on PDP-11/70's, like in the picture. Of course, I hardly ever saw one up close. :p

OK, fun article. But holy smokes, when I first read the title, I thought it was saying, "GF pasta falls apart because of neutron scattering." Whew!

No, no, no.

I think it's actually really simple. We tech nerds sometimes think a lot the same way.

lol, I really liked this article.

But yeah, maybe it helps that I have the scripting turned off.
