12·2 days agoOld Spice was not long for this woeld.
34·6 days agoBased on the description, my guess is that the script solved the problem of having the line interrupted by only doing a single 56k transaction per phone call.
Lots of times, phone calls were billed $$$ for the first minute and $ for every minute after that. If her script only did one transaction per call and not even using the full minute, that could add up fast.
And, given that it took a month for the bill to come, she could have been doing something wrong even during the day. Nobody would have noticed until the bill, and the 1am calls stood out the most when the bill finally came. Maybe there was a local exchange that didn’t require long distance?
A birdwatching friend of mine has decided that if he ever discovers a new species, he’s naming it “seagull” regardless of where he finds it or what it looks like just to piss off all the ornithologists.

Mario taking a nap basically anywhere in Mario64 is cute.
I think that’s kind of the thing. They can’t physically make the camera any smaller, but they assume you’re going to make the phone thicker with a case. So it’s a compromise based on customer preference.
Highly recommend the When Phones were Fun series.
It DOES NOT matter if it’s done with 3 feet to merge or 300 feet to merge. There’s no efficiency gain.
Merging early leaves unused road. Shoving the cars into fewer lanes makes the traffic jam longer and makes it impact more interesections far behind the actual hangup. If you can merge early without slowing down, sure go for it. I’m mostly talking about the scenarios where it’s already slowed to a crawl and people feel like they have to merge early to not be seen as “cutting in line.”
Edit, also to add, if everyone merges early even at speed, eventually, the car density in the reduced lanes will reach a point where people naturally slow down and you have bumper to bumper traffic.
I suggest Traffic by Tom Vanderbilt for more.
Zipper merging.
If your lane is closing ahead, it is better for everyone in traffic if you drive all the way to the end of the lane and cut in at the last moment.
Note that this does not apply to exit lanes. The basic rule is if late merging blocks someone from going somewhere, merge early. Otherwise, merge as late as you can.
I was watching the screensaver of a Big Buck Hunter arcade cabinet at the bar last night, and one of the minigames involved shooting roaches crawling all over a house. The cake in the kitchen was definitely the Portal cake.
I want everyone to realize that the only reason AI seems intelligent is because it speaks English.
It’s definitely the worst of all of them. Zero redeeming features.
My wife got me a bottle of Da Bomb as a joke for Valentine’s and I’ve been working through that for over a year.
It criminalizes production and dissemination of technology, devices, or services intended to circumvent measures that control access to copyrighted works (commonly known as digital rights management or DRM).

DVDs have copy protection.
It’s also how it is perfectly legal to borrow DVDs from your local library and rip those, too.
You got a source on that? I don’t think that falls under fair use.
However, the owner of the copy of the book will not be able to make new copies of the book because the first-sale doctrine does not limit the restrictions allowed by the copyright owner’s reproduction right.
In the US, because of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, it is illegal to defeat any sort of digital copy protection. That’s why it’s ok to rip CDs to your iPod, but you can’t rip DVDs to your computer.
Ripping a DVD I own to my hard drive for my personal use.
The best smelling one.
