Box art back then was more akin to book cover art: an artist’s interpretation of the content. It never disappointed me. I even miss it sometimes. I used to collect images of box art even without the games, because it really was art.

Gen X: don’t quote the ancient piracy to me, Millennial. I was there for BBS and Napster.

Press and hold the Windows key, then tap the R. Let go of the windows key. Type cmd enter. Type format C:\ enter.

Sadly they “fixed” this.

I wish they would ban me. I haven’t logged in in over 15 years and even block several of their servers, and yet I still get mails that someone in there commented on something.

I knew booze was the only way to make using a Mac bearable.

I was very excited when they announced GW2. Sadly it is a very different game from the first one, and while I can still enjoy the story, it is not really a game for me.

I suggest you play the first, then decide whether you want more.

Is it password1?

I refuse to think of 2000 as anything but the future where will all have flying cars.

(b) will just lead to fewer up and down votes, i.e. less engagement. That in turn could lead to slowly bleeding out.

Our code base is filled with “//constructor”, “//destructor”, “//assignment”, or the ever enlightening “Foo GetFoo(); // GetFoo”.

This is not what they mean by self-documenting code.

If the Internet has taught me anything, they’re 42 and 69.

You should be aware that “maintaining” that PC may be more than you expect. Just this weekend I had to help my aunt because the bank’s website had a “big thing in front of it” that she couldn’t get rid of. It turned out to be a cookie banner that was just a bit too big for her laptop screen, and the buttons to close it were out of the frame.

That’s just an example of course, but depending on the person(s) using it, there may need to be someone at hand to help at all times.

As a late Gen X, I was completely lost. So, I guess it’s official: I don’t get your generation.

Ah thank you. I was unaware of the matrix protocol.

I’m obviously out of the loop, because I don’t know. Can someone explain?

That’s another benefit: no more meetings.

I’ve been a proponent of this for ages. It makes no sense to cross some imaginary line and suddenly time shifts. Time should change constantly as you move east or west, up or down. Everyone has their own personal time, which is constantly updated.

Bonus: no more daylight savings switch.

Exactly! Even the indicator light of my speakers bothers me during long nightly sessions. I want to see the screen, nothing else.

You mean the thing that Opera had in the 90s, and Vivaldi since inception?
