It got adopted as slang by the old-school "hacker" (obsessive programmer) community back in the late 70s/early 80s, but I'd already seen it from...
I hate Zincolns, but I'd never thought of loading them into shells and using them as projectiles. (They wouldn't even be good for that; not dense...
...instead of after it like you're supposed to. Honest, using Reply does work better. It makes it easy for readers to tell what you're quoting...
First time I've ever noticed scratches extending the grooves of the stars. Can't see any way that could have happened at the mint. In addition to...
Yeah, that's one I probably ought to revisit. I went back and reread parts of Time Enough for Love not so long ago, and while I wasn't...

All right, now you've done it. :rolleyes: Sent me off to read about Philip K. Dick, and made me realize that I probably need to go find and read...
I'm guessing you weren't around in 1980. MUCH more likely to be a hairspray issue. ;) All hair does contain sulfur, though, and it wouldn't...
See, you've fallen into the exact trap I set eight years ago -- you've read what I said and understood what I meant, instead of searching...
You missed the week that this obsessed fan has spent digging through ancient CoinTalk posts, trying to find more people to make fun of. He's...
