@nprofile…79g5 it seems harder to fire up under QEMU, but I haven't tracked that down to a change in free DOS or a change in QEMU!

@nprofile…z22s Peasants could own a hovel, but not the land that it was on. A critically important distinction then and now!

@nprofile…q3m3 @nprofile…uvkz Do you have the basic information and conclusions in a document anywhere so that nobody has to go to the Spyware Institute at YouTube in order to see your results? If you don't need income from it, you could put up the video on a YouTube instance.

@nprofile…x07a @nprofile…79g5 If I remember right when I did it in Turbo Pascal, I used the infinite series to get the number of digits I needed. Then I check the results against my copy of the Chemical Rubber Company math table handbook.

@nprofile…49cc The Supreme Court decision that the administration cannot ignore the decisions of the court should not have come down to a 5-4 decision. It's not just a question of the Constitution, although it is a matter for constitutional law and scholarship, but a matter of common sense. The court cannot decide that it will give away all of its power to the administration. That is not a decision that the Supreme Court should even be able to decide in any other way than that courts matter. The fact that four members on the court were actually willing to give up all judicial authority and eliminate the power of the judicial branch makes no sense at all.

@nprofile…wuyc Hello there, US Citizen here. PLEASE go to all Metric! Perhaps these nutcases in the USA will become more sane if they have a sane system of weights and measures. I'm serious here. I'm ready to try anything that might help restore the sanity!

@npub1fzn…tde7 but the first warning came from independent scientists in 1912. While there is no excuse for them, there is little excuse for the rest of us either.
