Now, that's a name I've not heard in a long time.

Story time: In the super old days, I want to say 1996? 1997? I wrote a four or five line HTML that would split the screen into two horizontal frames, then split those each into vertical frames, then those horizontal -- ad infinitum.

I don't think there were any browsers that didn't fail that test. I'm sure I only checked IE3 or IE4 and Netscape. One of them locked the computer up and had to be killed via "close program." The other one locked the machine up and it became completely unresponsive, needing to be hard booted.

Which must mean that not race mixing is capitalism? That's just slavery with extra steps.

Yeah, that's how that works: when you abuse a perk for meals in the office by using it for other stuff, you're rolling the dice, aren't you?

You’re not wrong. I was keeping it simple.

Turns out, if you're further left than either realistic candidate (because FPTP), it makes it really easy to figure out who you should vote for. "I wonder if I should vote for the person who's not left enough for my liking, or the one is so far beyond that as to be the diametric opposite of left. Whatever shall I do?"

To be fair, they probably weren't able to take care of their own artifacts very well ... after having been invaded by the British.

The only reason .su still exists is because Russia said they would decommission it and then never did. ICANN chose not to let that happen again, which explains their choice to decommission the later ones.

I've had cars where if there's a programming update required, they issue it as a service action, you take the car to the dealer, and they do the software update locally with an SD card or USB stick.

You can still have easily updated software without it requiring OTA updates.
