Only Mac OS 10 and later, based on BSD, uses ‘/‘. (And, I guess, A/UX.) Classic MacOS used a ‘:’, but it wasn’t regularly exposed in the UI. The only way most users would know is that the colon couldn’t be used in a file name.

The city government spinning up its own instance makes sense. You could then have accounts for the various departments, transit, road and highway, parks and rec, the library, the mayor’s office…

Voyager’s computer, at least, works on quaternary (4 state) data rather than binary (2 state) data. They keep referring to data storage quantities in quads rather than bits or bytes.

They’re able to recycle 93% of the water on the station. The leftover high concentration waste water, along with the poop bags, are loaded into a Progress or Cygnus cargo ship that burns up on reentry.

Yeah, but it reminded me of the other quote.

I’m curious, what voice to people hear these lines in, the default epic male announcer voice, or the super horny female announcer alternative?

“Join the army, they said.”

“See the world, they said.”

“I’d rather be sailing!”

“Stay awhile and listen.”

Yakuza maps have never been particularly huge. Even in the most recent game, the new map is maybe on the scale of GTA III or Vice City. Still, they manage to pack 15-20 minigames into each game’s word map, some of which involve driving or riding around the map, plus the inevitable scavenger hunts and hidden collectibles.

The younger age brackets broke slightly in favor of Harris. It was the folks between mid-life crisis and retirement that broke hard for Trump.

Next up: Skyrim. “Hey, you. You’re finally awake.”

Such an upgrade over the previous two. Three whole cities to explore, plus the countryside. They managed to stream the world data from the disc as you moved about, so no more loading screens between islands like III and VC had. This was the first GTA where you could swim, so water was no longer a death trap, and the first to introduce skills, so you could swim further and faster as you got better.

The idea was one computer on the LAN would hold the “talking stick” (the token) and transmit whatever data it needed to, then pass the token off to the next computer in the ring. If a computer received the token and didn’t have anything to transmit, it’d just pass on the token. The problem would be detecting when one of the computers in the loop had gone offline or crashed and taken the token with it. After some amount of time with no traffic, some system was responsible for generating a new token and an amended turn order. Similar problems existed when a new computer wanted to get added to the rotation.

I’m guessing those names come from the very top.

It fits, English and JavaScript are both three languages in a trench coat.

Usually Gwen Shotwell, SpaceX COO, is good at keeping Elon in check and not screwing up SpaceX business. I wonder what happened this time.

I swear the people in unit 402 are illegally subletting their place on AirBnB.

I love how, despite Musk’s best efforts, 3/4 of the internet still calls the site Twitter.

The way this usually works out is you loose all the good employees and you’re left with the dregs who were unable to find another remote position in time.

You may think it’s a long way down the road to the chemist’s, but that’s just peanuts to space.
