The part about the old system using 5.25-inch disks seems to be false, according to this SFist article. It actually uses 3.5-inch disks, which were more in use at the time it was installed. Also, there's a photo of the smaller disks in the linked article on SFMTA's site, but none of the larger ones.

The product site says this: I don't know if it includes BASIC.

It's PDT. Daylight saving time doesn't end in the US until November 5th.

You're conflating two different things. The University of California is a system of universities, while the University of Florida is a single university. The actual equivalent to the University of California is State University System of Florida. Also, Voix des Airs meant that valedictorians...

Nintendo also released Excitebike in 1984.

Apple released the Apple ][+ in 1979. 😉

I don't think they have the rights to make new Sam & Max games. Lucasfilm does sell the original “Hit the Road”. One company is making a VR game, “Sam & Max: This Time It’s Virtual!”, and another company is remastering the Telltale games.

Compared to what? In 1976, the Altair 8800 sold for $539, plus $167 for the 4k memory board. That's $706 for a total of 4.25 kilobytes of memory, compared with the Apple with 4k of memory. But yes, the Apple II was more expensive than many competing machines.

Sure. But after a time (maybe decades), your supply of antibiotics will run out. How do you make more? Does anyone know how? Do they have the cultures, or know how to find more? That's their problem. Even if they wanted to rebuild their civilization as it was, they don't have the knowledge or...

It's too bad you had to guess at the spelling of his name. If only there were some way you could find out the correct spelling.

So many of you think that your cable bill should be proportional to the number of channels you watch. Your grocery bill is proportional to the amount of food you buy, and your electricity bill is proportional to the amount of power you draw, so why not cable? The more food you take, the more...

You can play Zork on your iPad using the Frotz app. But you'll need to load in a copy of the Zork story files. I haven't tried it myself, but I can think of three ways: • Download them from a warez site. • Copy the Lost Treasures of Infocom app onto your computer and extract the story files...

By the way, did you know that View-Master VR already exists? It's like this Labo kit, or Google Cardboard, but premade. You stick your phone into the goggles and put it up to your face. It does do head tracking.

Yes, this has changed recently. From 2011 to 2017, an app could either use Apple's JavaScript interpreter, or the app could use its own interpreter for any language it wants, but the code had to be built-in to the app, not downloaded. Then in June of 2017, section 3.3.2 of the Apple Developer...

You misspelled “won't”.

I have no idea what you mean by “Israeli” in that sentence. Maybe it was an autocorrected typo?

The rotatable joystick on Ikari Warriors and the two others is different in that it only has eight positions, and does not freely spin like Tempest. The Xybots joystick does not spin around at all. Instead, you twist the knob to rotate 90° in that direction, and the knob springs back when you...

The Tolkien Estate and Trust is part of the deal with Amazon, so maybe Amazon does have the right to use Silmarillion material. I don't know, Amazon is being vague about what this series will be about besides just being before LOTR. Here's the press release.

By the way, Iwata was the programmer of Golf. Nintendo probably chose it to honor Iwata.

Wow, that's harsh! (Did you misspell castigated?)
