The worn wood in grain elevators can be truly amazing from decades of grain eroding the wood and creating beautiful smooth surfaces. It would be a shame to tear it down without reclaiming it.
I picked up a 5 1/4" floppy without the sleeve that was on the side of the road 20 years ago, sliced open another disc sleeve that had bad sectors and replaced it with the found disc. I still had a working XT at the time.
It had The Black Cauldron, PC Jr bootable version on it.
Nice. One time, I brought home a 3.5" disk from elementary school with a copy of Commander Keen 5 on it - the paid one that was so hard to get for a kid with no money and no modem. I somehow managed to leave it on the driveway near the car, overnight, inside of a faux leather wallets of sorts.
It snowed. It was the winter break, so there was no going back to school to see the other kid who had made the copy for me, not for 2 weeks. This was supposed to be my fun game for the break....
So, I carefully opened the disk, set it to dry over the heating vent, put it back together, and with the help of Norton Utilities 5.0's Disk Doctor, I got a mostly playable copy out of it. Absolutely amazing.
As a child, I was extremely uncomfortable with Dr. Huxtable when he was in his office. I would regularly walk away from the show when he was in his at-home office alone with someone. When I later saw Philip Banks in Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, I consciously compared the two. One felt safe and nurturing, the other did not.
When a criminal's art replicates the conditions in which he committed crimes, I would hope that the commercial and artistic value of that work would diminish considerably. I hope that the Cosby show would not be able to survive continued syndication. However it should still be thrown into the bargain bin of available entertainment for posterity.
In my opinion, deleting the Cosby show erases the chance for others to obtain that same impression.
A decade ago, one client at an old job required ZIPs be 256-bit AES WinZIP encrypted, which at the time meant WinZIP was the only option.
The employer was so cheap that they they didn't want to pay for WinZIP, so we'd wait n number of seconds before the file would zip. Then we'd wait n+1 seconds until it was an hour and a half wait.
"But the victim of the brutal rape and murder was Bulgarian television journalist Viktoria Marinova — and her last broadcast was about the theft of hundreds of millions of euros from European Union-funded programs in her country.
Even those who had never heard of the so-called “GP scandal” certainly know about it now.
In the program, which aired just six days before she was killed, Marinova interviewed reporters from OCCRP’s Bulgarian partner, Bivol and its Romanian partner, the RISE Project."
The 21 year old guy said he doesn't remember raping, robbing, or murdering her because he "blacked out" but he says he regrets it?
You believe that? That means he doesn't have to supply a single detail of how the rape and murder even happened. And the DNA evidence? Trivial to link to somebody in a corrupt system. If he's going to confess he needs to provide details, like if she was sodomized, where he hit her, etc. Plus what drugs was he on? Either he could still test positive or they can hair test him.
