Really more of a hardware RAM disk, but CompuPro offered a board called the M-drive for their S-100 ecosystem in the early '80s. 512k of DRAM-based storage; one board cost $1,895 in 02/1983. The potential existed to use up to eight boards in one system, which would give the user a 4MB RAM disk.
Wait. He hasn’t crumbled into dust or whatever these “Offputting guy with shit politics who has an inexplicable army of irritating tween fans” youtubers do when they’re past their shelf life? I thought he was irritating when I was in high school. That was…what, thirteen years ago now?
Terry Schaivo all over again (But worse)
Testing new code in production…
The world needs more Robin Hoods and Ishikawa Goemon. Given increasing inequity and corruption without any real hope at a systemic level, Material conditions are right for the return of the outlaw hero, I think.
No, but give it to me anyways because I’d do something incredibly funny with it (Devote the remainder of my life to gaining access to a bunch of influential people and politicians so I can tell them to eat shit to their face, resting assured that they can’t levee any meaningful consequences against me)
‘00s pop culture fucking sucked
Did somebody say something about an assaassin known as a strider?
Whatever happens happens. Don’t really care that much anymore.
Quite possibly one of the dumbest uses of nation state clout in human history
I actually still mess with diskettes on a fairly frequent basis, but it’s more of a hobby thing than a serious use thing
HAARPposting: First as farce, then as tragedy
Rahm Emanuel vexes me by continuing to live.
Yeah I’ve just kind of felt like shit for one reason or another for most of my life to this point. The 2000s sucked

I’m curious as to how people toughed it out despite most christian religious institutions being so uniformly corrupt and plain irritating. Shit, the crowd FSTDT dunks on, american politicians, and internet theology were all it took for me to get so deeply disillusioned I wanted to just cut strike everything from my mind, regardless of who’s right or wrong. Merely not having other options to a point where leaving is unthinkable? Fear of reprisal from legal and cultural consequences?
Then again, I suppose at that point they would’ve just shifted to a different, less institution-focused denomination instead of just saying “fuck the whole thing” like I did. It wasn’t a matter of the facts, it was a matter of me being fucking sick of them.
On that note, what’s up with the obligate coprophagy of the koala? And their famously smooth brains? I’d make the koala, were it I in the high seat, but a kind and caring creator wouldn’t.
FWIW CompuPro targeted the enterprise and scientific markets. Something like this wouldn’t be something a individual home/hobbyist/small business user would be buying.
