Very, Very cold- Around 10F last night and everybody in the house has a miserable, lingering cold. Supposed to warm up this week.

Coincidence??? I DO NOT THINK SO!!!! I was on to it with the first glance. Now your wife will want to know why you named the new fridge "Kronos".

Full-movie up on Youtube. The YF-100 Super-Sabre Prototype beats the Robot, which - to Star Trek Fans- is obviously Nomad's Father!!!!! Translated for Star Wars Fans: "Nomad, I am Your Father!" I'm keeping an eye on my Refrigerator. Not as fancy as John's, no digital readout on the front door. I...

@John King It's funny how some images bring up an ancient memory from something over half a century ago. This giant metal obelisk flashed me back to a movie I have not seen in over 50 years...

There is also this much newer one- https://cameraderie.org/threads/your-x-mas-gift-present-non-photographic-related.56711/ Also does not apply to me....

https://cameraderie.org/threads/latest-shiny-things-non-camera-related.46992/ This one? I searched for "Non-Camera" in quotes, titles only. I'm not sure I ever posted to it...

Glad you are Okay. I've had my car lose traction like that before. My Daughter is learning to drive now- from my own experience, tell her anytime it is raining after a long dry spell, oil that has built up on the road from cars going over it come up to the surface. It becomes an oil slick. That...

A beautiful tribute, backed up by a worthy cause.

"If it's on the Internet, it Must Be True!" -- Mark Zuckerberg

https://quoteinvestigator.com/2010/05/17/remain-silent/ Either Mrs Goose or from the Bible, depending on exact wording. The basic idea is from the Bible, as per the site linked. "Never tell the Truth when a Lie will do". Garak, Cardassian, DS9. “Roosevelt is dead: a man who would never tell...

I see many websites attributing it to Diane Grant, and many others attributing to Jennifer Grant. https://quotes.pub/jennifer-grant-quotes It is not in the book "Malcolm X Speaks". Many quotes with being alone, but not this particular one...

"Never ever confuse sharp with good, or you will end up shaving with an ice cream cone and licking a razor blade." - Bill Pierce "It's easier to seek Forgiveness than Permission" - CAPT Grace Hopper (When she told me that, Later RADM Grace Hopper)

They did not go for my idea, everyone would have liked it. Fall Back one Hour. Spring Back Twenty-Three Hours.

I don't know why! You only have to know Two Things to do anything with a Computer, "1" and "0". You just have to get them in the right order for what you want the computer to actually do. How easy is that!

At work I've had several High-School "SEAP" Science/Engineering Apprentice Program students. I taught them how to program using Assembly Language in the 8-week Summer term. Also taught them how to disassemble code, using tools that are ancient. They loved it. When they hit college for Computer...

SO- put the Tags "Ignore" and "Kevin" together and it reveals that he is a real programmer. I always suspected the site was running on top of DOS. Kevin must have hidden this Easter Egg... Welcome to the forum everyone.

As far as recovering lost files on a drive, I've found "recuva" to be very good. https://www.ccleaner.com/recuva

I wrote a program in Fortran that caused the $130K FPS-120b to catch on fire. The power supplies could not keep up with a week of solid processing of satellite imagery. The HALON in the computer room discharged, so the fire did not spread. That was 40 years ago. After that- nothing seems as bad.

Congratulations on a New Personal Best!

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/216633.Spock_Must_Die_ For the Trekkies, and some history: James Blish adapted the Star Trek scripts to short stories in a series of books. His Novel "Spock Must Die", 1970, - is the first original story in the Star Trek line after the series ended. Tachyons...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachyon I first read about them in a Sci Fi story by James Blish. The term tachyon was coined by Gerald Feinberg in a 1967 paper titled "Possibility of faster-than-light particles", after he read the story. In 1975 wrote my Freshman Physics paper on them...

The first detection of Neutrinos was in 1970, using a Hydrogen Bubble Chamber. I remember that from the Physics class I took in 1975. As I remember- A neutrino has about a 50% chance of interacting with matter when passing through the Earth. I also remember a proposed project from that time of...

I've been on forums without the "Like" feature where the threads quickly diverge from the images shown into a war of words.

Not at all. Amazing. And a good cause.

I ended up going online- when I read about the bike repairs you had to have done to keep in the race.

I hope he gives you priority, knowing why you need the bike back quickly.

That's a bummer. It'll get fixed, you will be on the road again.

Can Donations be done with a check sent through the mail?

I understand- but remember you can contribute here as much or little as you wish. Think of it as stress release and using "the other side of your brain". Sometimes just drop in to post a picture to a thread and then out can be a stress-release. This place should never be seen as adding to...

I lost more hair at the last cut than most men lose in a lifetime. Looked like Tribbles running across the floor. My Dad was grey at 25 and Mom at 70. I started at 25, have not finished yet. I like "ART", another raw therapee. I've used Lightroom since V3, then V4, then V6. I will not do the...

I remember a separate subforum under the Buy/Sell/Trade. This was long ago- I think when the Buy/Sell was much more thread-like rather than a separate module. I also see one completed ad that was listed as "Link to Ebay" for type of ad.

Any member can post want to buy and for sale ads here, but auctions are not allowed. Several years ago, before the consolidation of the forums into what they are now- there used to be a sub-forum for posting links to Ebay auctions, but it is now gone.

He has not posted in a while, but visited the site in Feb. Hope all is well- sometimes you need to take a break, get some perspective, and re-energize.

You can put those people on the Ignore list and the posts will not be shown, make it easy to get to the next post without scrolling.

You can subscribe to threads you like, check them. Subscribe to the ones you post to, check them. Use Tags as a filter- select the ones you are interested in. You can also follow members. Trying to tackle the 13,600 "What's new" at the top of my page- that's why it is a big number, not a small...

The other factor: they have a circuit in them to monitor charge and talk to the charger.

Could be worse. Cameraderrière.

After 20 years I just closed my Paypal account. Their recent revised user policies got to be too much for me to put up with. Despite some statements made, a search on the Paypal site still shows the "we can take $2500 from your account" at their discretion. Moved recurring charges from Paypal...

The Intel Sugarcube was Asynchronous Parallel, Four 80286 nodes each with 20MFlop Sky array processors. Each node communicated over a network connection, the programmer responsible for all the synchronization and keeping the array processors fed. It was fine for generating synthetic imagery...

I like it.... CPU, Power Consumption (TDP = Thermal Design Power) 6 Watt

I learned about 30 years ago that the only type of programming I enjoy anymore is writing code for embedded systems. About the only place that optimization and tight code mean anything. Optimizing code for vector supercomputers and array processors was fun. Networking- fast was doing a vertical...

I have a version of XP that supports SATA drives. The original releases did not, had to be added. DOS does not have a problem with them, goes through the BIOS. At work I've mentored Students for 20 years, mostly during the Summer. Taught 16yo students to write assembly language for 8-bit...

At work my Pentium Pro finally went out. 1996. The "Big Boss" asked why I still used it. "If I can make timing on that, my code will run on anything" I still have one here at home. I have a lot of computers. My first computer for home is a Xerox 820-II with 64K ram and two 320KByte floppy...

>My current main PC is a Core2Duo clocking at ~2.8 GHz running DDR2 RAM, SATA HDDs at SATA2 speeds, with a slow 2 GB graphics card. Load DOS on this one, it will outrun the new one. I write code for embedded processors on a setup like this. It is fast, uses 4GBytes of RAM under DOS. The AMD...

A person to be admired. The Queen was also an avid Photographer. I remember pictures of her with her Leica M3 from long ago.

The very definition of this book is an act of love. The link about the book is here: http://www.heidischneiderpoetry.com/ Jason Schneider "The Camera Collector", who I've read since 1969 and got me interested in camera collecting- has edited, compiled, and published a Book of Poetry written...

That is an impressive collection, and a shame it is being sold off. I got my first Nikon Rangefinder almost 30 years ago when I was in a camera shop and an older gentleman brought in a camera and a couple of lenses wanting to trade for an AF camera. They had belonged to his Father, purchased in...
