I've been playing the Z80-μLM demos in your CP/M emulator. Works great! However, I have yet to guess a correct answer in GUESS.COM! I'm not sure if I'm just not asking the right questions or I'm just really bad at it!


Don't tell anybody, but you sit on it


Boris!!!


It's almost that simple. There are many online medical equipment providers that will send you an at home sleep study kit. Their goal is basically to sell you a PAP machine (plus ongoing related supplies), pretty much anyone can get one if they make a minimum of effort.


To me, I thought the interesting part was how he had to modify the hard drive emulator firmware to remove CPU wait states and support a streaming mode - I would have thought even the slowest SD card would be enough to overwhelm any 8 bit computer (I didn't even know SD cards had a special rarely used streaming mode).


It's probably because it has something to do with Stephenson's notorious failed Kickstarter sword fighting game "Clang."

Out of curiosity, would you pronounce S-RAM as sram?


And how about SDRAM?


I had one of these back in the day. I seem to remember it cost a lot less than buying a PostScript printer. A major downside was that it was extremely slow!


I believe the AS/400 calls it Field Exit. One of the things I used to do for new users was remap Field Exist to Enter in the IBM 5250 emulation software. Then the enter key acted like the user expected (on a real 5250 terminal there is a separate physical Enter key located where the right control key is on modern keyboards).

Explaining Field Exit vs Enter was something most users didn't get. However, they did understand Enter as like a submit button (like on web pages) and were fine selecting fields with the mouse.


It's been many years, but wasn't that a key that allowed you to change input fields, just like TAB does it with web pages? IIRC that key was managed purely client-side.


The Tesla App seems to be divided into convenience features (which use an Internet connection) and a key (which uses Bluetooth).

The key part does not rely on Tesla's servers to operate (except probably for initial setup?). I had no problem unlocking or starting my Tesla during the outage.

Sadly, the App (convenience part) isn't 100% reliable. It occasionally fails to connect to the car and the only way to get it to work is to force close it. However, I have never had the key part fail to work.


So what the hell are gastric phytobezoars?

Apparently they are a form of intestinal blockage.

In the US, this depends a bit on which state you live in.

For wage garnishment usually it is the LESSOR of 25% of disposable income (income after taxes and involuntary deductions) OR the amount that your income exceeded 30 times federal minimum wage (currently $217.50/week).

Nintendo could still go after other assets (bank accounts, property, etc) and the defendant can also declare bankruptcy.
