If memory serves, devs were pretty upset when Jobs killed it. Think there is even a video on YT where one dev gives Jobs a mouthful. Using it, I can see why. It was an internet precursor.


"it can disengage it's rotor systems and ignite these 2 additional turbines. 3.2 seconds after liftoff, Airwolf and exceed mach 1 from sea level to 65000 ft"


This is hypocritical. Charge one man with a felony, raid his home, put his face all over TV...THEN.. don't charge another with the same thing because he's just an "elderly man with a poor memory".


This is known as the "false equivalence fallacy".


False equivalency. Trump's team obstructed the investigation and is currently arguing in court that they have a right to the piles of documents they took.


I mean, there's also the extenuating circumstance that the Biden administration returned the documents when they were discovered, whereas Trump told the government to go fuck itself.


Sure... he didn't make copies or let anyone look at them... Can some ONE say double standard? Maybe they are DRM protected? Or is that only for pesant's media


DRM is becoming quite common now in the business world. It's baked into Microsoft office in the form of Azure Information Protection (AIP). You set classification labels and it gets encrypted at the highest levels. Office automatically obtains the key if the person opening it has access. It's pretty nice actually. Wouldn't be surprised if the government uses it or something similar.


So, they shut down a coal plant to rely on...another coal plant for power generation. How exactly did it 'replace' the last coal plant?


What other coal plant?


What? No. They're replacing it with solar generation.

> With 565 megawatt-hours of storage, the battery can’t directly replace the coal plant’s energy production, but it works with the island’s bustling solar sector to fill that role. “We’re enabling the grid to add more clean renewable energy to the system to replace the energy from the coal plant,” Keefe said.


Given the small area of the islands and the less-than-flat terrain, I'm surprised they went solar. Have hydro turbines been considered?


Hawaii is not known for its rivers.

You don't need flat terrain for solar. China is papering over entire mountains with panels. https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/comments/sd88u7/s...


Impressive and frightening. Trying to patch an ecological horror with an ecological horror.


You need less area than you might think for Solar. Especially somewhere that is sunny like Hawaii.


Had cool sounds too.


OMG, completely forgot about ARJ!


Liked Telemate also. Pretty sure it had the ability to script a session. You could create a script and set it to dial in when nobody was on the board, download a file and log off, saving precious time on the board, and the busy signal.

Also liked Telix. Was more simple and like Procomm, but Telemate seemed more extensible.


BBSs were much more personal and local than the internet. I remember going to local board (BBS) parties where you met the face behind the avatar. Online games, chatting with sysops, downloading filez... Those were the days.


Hope not. I like Brave


Or CNN or MSNBC
