@Lord_Arse In my time, it was coaxial cables (aka 'thin Ethernet').

I'm so old, mine ended there. Or at least my career did! XP was the last product I shipped.

Developers be honest. Your coding journey started here, right?

@davepl1968 Back in 96 there was a terrible accident in Brazil (flight TAM 402). First reports said the pilot tried to miss a highly populated area, this version was debunked when the cockpit recordings where released.
English
Unmitigated bullshit that emerges every time a plane crashes.
I'm not a pilot, but Chuck Yeager told me once that every time a pilot dies, someone has to make up a story about them trying to miss the houses and hit the field.
He called BS on that specifically: In his opinion, every millisecond before hitting the ground is spent trying to recover the aircraft. There's no time for the sentimental. The stories come later.

"The pilots sacrificed themselves to save everybody." Captain Steeeve says the "heroic" Air Canada pilots involved in the LaGuardia plane crash "could have veered left or right to avoid harm for them in the cockpit.” 📺youtu.be/F82jBioz6GA @piersmorgan

@eevblog We all know why: they think that redoing films over and over is (financially) safer than trying something new. Even if most remakes don't do well.
English
Why are they redoing Harry Potter beat for beat? Why?
It was already perfect, this adds nothing. We already know what every character looks and acts like, and this ain't it chief.
And what do they expect to do, film and release one every year as the kids age like they did in the movies?This will get canned after one or two seasons.

CHRISTOPHER WALKEN’s white‑suit tap‑dance at the 1982 TV special Night of 100 Stars, filmed at Radio City Music Hall. A thing of absolute joy.

@TheMekon_Venus Shame on me, I only played (to the end) 7 of them. All bought "back then". I bought some of the others later, but haven't played them (yet?). My favorite is Fate of Atlantis, no one sucked.

So many classics here.
Who can pick one favourite.
If pushed.. I’d say Full Throttle.

Between 1985 and 1995, Lucasfilm Games (later LucasArts) basically created gaming history with everything they touched. Look at that list and name me a single one that sucked. No annual subscriptions. No in-game transactions. Just a beautiful box with disks, a thick manual, and a poster - and it was actually yours. You owned it. You didn't just “lease” it. Anyone who ever held one of those boxes in their hands knows exactly what I’m talking about. By the way, the heaviest of the bunch was Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe… its manual ran over 300 pages!

@mrdoornbos Loved the book, was looking forward to the movie. I agree with your assessment of the important points in the book and, if they didn't come across, it is really a shame.

@Lord_Arse Still play. Got the demo in a PC Format magazine and the kids demanded I bought the game (not easy at the time, but a friend was going to USA for a training). Showed it recently to my grandson.

Vi uma notícia de uma cantora que se negou a dar palhinha de sua música a uma jornalista durante entrevista. Mandou ouvir no streaming.
