Enjoy paying for your yearly Adobe subscription as your shrink wrap software won’t work.

Ahhh Arstechnica, I wonder if the technical article is by Dan Goodin. (It is)

I enjoyed his C Programming books for dummies series.


Internet streamers will need to know basic math unless they are clowns.

Depends on the sport. I don’t think the Olympic equestrian competitors would be dirt poor.

Yes it is cheaper and who will steal or rob a student of pencil and paper compared to a iPad also pencil and paper doesn’t require age verification.

It's also probably good to make sure students know how to figure using a pencil and paper because pulling a calculator out on a job site is pretty impractical.

Not sure I agree with that last point... you probably have one in your pocket already (phone app). Though I'm strongly against electronic devices as core education materials in K-6 especially.

it's easier for people to use slurs then to contribute to the source and make it better.

haha what a fun site :D. Two dance sections to the rave site, will you be adding a Psytrance section?

Hopefully many more! Definitely also Psy. Ty!

If only Amiga assembler books hit those type of numbers.

Do you suggest any such books?

Are you thinking of getting in to NeXTSTEP 3.3/OpenStep 4.2?

Thank you for the recommendation. That’s an interesting topic. I’m pretty full right now so unfortunately even getting into Linux and NT is a bit hard for me. I was reading VFS but bogged down due to lack of time :/

I also want to get into Solaris, too, because it introduces a lot of ideas back then.


Yes I have both copies, prefer the ANSI C second edition my self. I brought another second hand C programming book and when I was working through the exercises in the mid 2000s the GNU C compiler kept issuing warnings as the code used gets() to read strings. :D
