I’m outing me as ancient:

• M.U.L.E.
• Load Runner
• The Castles of Dr. Creep
• Seven Cities of Gold
• Paradroid
• The Sentinel
• Hanse / Kaiser / Fugger

Second that! Worms was great fun when hanging out with friends.

Something like rats and sinking ships come to mind. Now that Trump shows his true fashist colors, some REPs don’t want to end up as Trumps Himmler or Göring…

“See? If there is no government agency handlin’ radioactive waste, that problem goes away!”

Normal for a soft- or hardware project designed by a political committee.

I wonder how much of that actually is development and not just the gazillionth instance of some web site builders scripts.

You don’t need to see the background to know that this must be in a hospital somewhere. Perfectly executed!

Ah, the Rhineland version of Rouladen. We have a slightly different filling. We spread some mustard on the meat, put some thin slices of black forest bacon and a slice of old Gouda cheese on it. We then put some Mett (spiced minced pork) on one end and roll them up. No need to sacrifice an innocent pickled gherkins’ life for this dish.

Well, it was known that these jets contain a shitload of energy. Why is anybody surprised that a direct hit causes devastating effects?

I know. I was there, before Sanford Wallace invented the email spam and forced any sane SMTP server into password protections and whitelists.

“Low volume” vs. “A few hundred mails per month”

OK, what of the above?

You should put fixed IP addresses outside the DHCP allocation range. While a DHCP server might be smart enough to exclude a fixed address automatically, this is not a must. So better safe than sorry.

Once upon a time, gopher was actually a supported protocol. Translating from gopher to HTML is an easy job.

My first introduction to the web actually was “like gopher, but with hypertext and a gui.”

That’s a good start, but just a start. There is probably at least ten times as much…

The question is: Will they put the tax dodgers behind bars where they belong?

The “priorities list” has only two entries: a) make money with it and b) make it in a way that we can make a sequel to make more money.

Better not standing in its way. Luckily, it is sufficiently far away.

When I first read the headline, I was thnking: Coming here? How close?

Super hard to understand what’s going on, since it’s too generic

In other words, you wrote nice code, but forgot to document it?

Regarding culture and affordability, there are some crazy things. In the next city there is an opera house. Which runs so hard into the red that each and every ticked is subsidized with several hundred Euro. The tickets are still expensive enough so that only the rich can afford them.

And this in a city that already runs on a big deficit.

Python programmer encountering a real programming language for the first time.

Actually finding something on Google often requires some knowledge and the application of the right strategies and tricks.
