The Iiyama Vision Master Pro 454 should be one of those. And the Sony FW900 24" wide-screen trinitron. I had both those screens.

The Sony FW900 is without doubt the best CRT monitor ever built (IMHO). It was a ridiculous monitor, both in size, sharpness, colour accuracy and most of all weight.

I remember buying a used one for about £300 (I recall the retail price was close to £1000) and my housemate and I carrying the thing up to my room, almost breaking our backs. It was easily 40kg. But it was an outstanding monitor. The best CRT screen I've ever used by a long shot.
Does that currently count as doping, in fact?

Anyone remembers something akin to "TV tax" ? It was a tax paid to sustain national TV (media) in a large scale, which provides them the possibility of being independent and not struggle with financing problems. It is simple, and it works, but I guess it's not an option anymore. Without a guaranteed unbiased source of money we cannot claim to have independent news or news that serves global interests (with global meaning the pool of contributors which in this case is close to global). Local news are not interesting. If you want to know what happened in your neighborhood, go out and ask your neighbors, talk to them.
Interestingly enough, some of the ultra-high-IBU beers come out the other end and don't taste nearly as bitter as mid-IBU IPAs, and they tend to have more actual flavor even. Something like, for example, Lagunitas Hop Stupid with 100 IBUs doesn't taste half as bitter as your typical 60-70 IBU IPA.

Hop Stoopid is one of the few IPAs I can stand, actually, which I find particularly bizarre because I normally don't like hops (I normally go for thick malty beers).
there is another type of whois that people don't ordinarily interact with, but is essential for the correct operation of the internet...

ARIN, RIPE, APNIC and AFRINIC run whois databases for IP space. Network operators use them to find who controls chunks of v4 space (ranging from the globally-minimum-announceable /24 to /12). ISPs can use tools like SWIP to point the whois for a block of space in use by a customer to that customer's whois info.

I sincerely hope that this doesn't become more difficult to use, because it will make basic network diagnostics at a WAN scale much more annoying.

The good news is that the typical ISP-level info in IP space whois databases doesn't fall under the GPDR, since most are role accounts (abuse@ispname.com , noc@ispname.com, etc). Also generic phone numbers for NOC and network engineering groups. However, a lot of ISPs do currently have individual persons listed as points of contact in their whois entries.
This grey-on-white is hard to read. I gave up on the article.
Whisky is an interesting business. The whiskey shortage is actually impacting everyone (entire shelves have "disappeared" and the rare bottles are even more rare today than a decade ago), but Japan has been ahead of that demand curve and/or a major factor in its current global popularity/shortage.

Japan imports a lot of whisky, loves Bourbon, and Japanese companies have made big plays in the Kentucky Bourbon space. (Kirin rebuilt the Four Roses distillery a while back, and Suntory merged with Beam Brands to form Beam Suntory.)

Bourbon is "lucky" here in that the average lag time is ~3-5 years (3 years of aging to qualify for a "Kentucky Straight Bourbon" label, 5 years being most drinkers' preference). The Scotch distilleries and their ~10-15 year lag time to meet demand is a bigger problem in the global whisky shortage. One of the biggest ways the Scotch distillers have been coping is removing Age Statements from their labels, which runs the risk of ruining the reputations of some of their brands if they are chancing things with immature/too young product and avoiding lying to drinkers about it by simply not admitting the Age of the product.

(I live in Louisville, KY and several of my neighbors are distilleries, so I find this all fascinating local interest.)
Perhaps. Now pardon me for getting slightly off topic...

But the craft beer saturation point can't be too far into the future. Same for coffee roasters. In the Boston to W DC corridor both of these are everywhere; points of differentiation fewer and further between.

Like any fad, these things cycle and burst. Boutique beer and coffee are on that path.
Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that anyone in 1998 should have known specifically about %G. I was, rather, referring, more generally, to something like the wisdom of finishing the man page, even if one thinks one has what one needs partway through, even if one is in a hurry.

That's something I've personally tried to teach whenever I can, along with as many rationales for why this is the case that I can come up with at the time.

This inherent flaw/tradeoff, of ordering, is one of them. No matter what order the author chooses, some reader (sometimes the same person at different times) will find that order suboptimal.

If you could afford to buy a ton of homes in Flint, Michigan then you could likely also afford to have the job of helping to fix Flint, Michigan, which I imagine while less lucrative, would still provide subsistence.

Sometimes we have to recognize the power we wield and use it to perform selfless acts.

Not saying you should move there and do that, but just that you're wrong in saying that you'd have no job.
Viva la difference! (I'm a Brit btw). An IPA (India Pale Ale) in the US is not the same as here, however I have noticed that our IPAs are rapidly heading in the same direction as the US version. That includes serving it rather colder ... I am also seeing a lot more "craft" beer here again - yay!

Anyway, my point is that at least there is some choice around - you are not restricted to Miller and Bud or Sam Adams (the last is not a bad brew) and I am not restricted to Carling and Fosters or shudder "creamflow" bitters.
The book was brilliantly written and really captured a time and place. The movie was just meh.

Not a very strong case for "prevalent."
It is abusive and largely illegal but that's irrelevant. Once you sign something like this, even a small company has enough resources to harass you with lawsuits that you might win after a few years but by then your life is mutilated.

What they gain with such threats is control over you with an installment of fear to ask for a raise or do anything that separates you from the company because that clause makes you unemployable for X years while it's active. The former employer (O) just needs to check your LinkedIn profile and send a notice to the new employer (N) that everything you write for N must be submitted to O so it can unilaterally decide if it actually belongs to them. It's absurd but I can believe companies try this because they have nothing to lose.

He refused the offer but I would like to know how common such a clause is, this is why I ask. Until now, I haven't thought about how careful you have to be when signing what one could assume is an absolutely benign and common work contract.
It was also a staggeringly different time (pre-9/11). I don't remember being as militaristic as we are today. I mean people talked hawkish, but it seemed much less likely to actually happen.

>You also have to remember that the people in the military aren't robots (not yet at least).

I'm not sure what the point is on this comment is, so excuse me if I missed it, but I would think the fact that we have real citizens in the military would be a barrier to atrocities. Putting a drone hive/squadron in the hands of just a few people seems like atrocity would be more likely to happen.

I did not mean that children should personally take care of me. Rather they will provide to the economy and this will keep the system running. If everybody is busy dying then not much is left for other activities.

What I mean by sustainable society is that it can keep its populace in constant size on its own.

India is not sustainable, Arab countries are not sustainable. But so are also not most European countries because they need heavy immigration to maintain the population size.
The challenge is removing heat. Putting things in a vacuum chamber doesn't make them colder - vacuum is actually a pretty good insulator, so you'd need some mechanism to get the heat out of there with9out using air.
If you go the other direction, some people have built computers they submerge in mineral oil or other similar media. That works pretty well for removing heat from components more effectively than air convection.
Spot on - they’re often referred to as ‘stressers’ or ‘booters’, and can make a nice chunk of money. There’s always someone looking to knock someone off of Xbox Live or PSN, or even chance it and try to take down a popular website. Depending on the technique used and the size of the botnet, you can cause some sysadmins or SOCs a headache.

I’m sure anyone else in the ISP industry will tell you that anytime kids are off school (summer holidays or half term here in the UK) the DDoS alerts go up a notch or two.
I don't think we should use such stories as a reason to make the hiring process even more paranoid. In general people are pretty honest so I wouldn't like to see them having to jump through even more hoops because of a few fraudsters.

So the UK police, under huge budgetary pressures (there are 21,000 less police than 7 years ago at the start of "the cuts" ) were duped into investing in an expensive technology that promised to save them resources in catching criminals. The pressure to get results overrode common-sense and concerns about civil-liberties. A bit like the DNA "fingerprint" craze which is now unraveling with a number of convictions being challenged. If it had been treated from the beginning as corroborating evidence, rather than The Answer, this would never have happened

My point is that it's not at all easy to determine who's 'good' and who's 'bad'. In fact I think those are extremely simplistic labels to tag people with, expecially when discussing what could amount to summary execution.

Is an enemy combatant with a weapon a bad guy? How about an unarmed enemy combatant? How about an enemy combatant with just a knife, or a rudimentary club? How about an armed civilian who might be an enemy combatant?

Is a bank robber a bad guy? If so, do they deserve to die? How about a white-collar fraudster? How about someone running from the police? How about a mentally ill person running from the police?

This stuff is never clear cut. It's why we have courts and military tribunals. If you can't think beyond 'good guys' and 'bad guys', I don't respect your opinion.

Tasting events are cool, but they often have a commercial edge, focusing on a particular distributor. You also need to make time for them - you can't just turn up any evening on your own demand.

If you're in London, I recommend Vagabond Wines. Not only do they have a good selection in tasting machines rotated frequently, they also do tasting evenings. I've been going to the Fulham branch for years, but they've expanded.

Hedonism Wines is also a mandatory visit, of course.
