I'm playing in D minor - the saddest of all the keys. It makes people weep instantly.

Still, I'm surprised that word got censored. I thought up two other seven letter words that are clearly not allowed, but that one is a surprise. It's not the weirdest thing the automatic censor deletes, but it's an odd one.
Perhaps it's that the word is no longer commonly used for the animal? I believe it was in much more common usage in the 1800's.
I'm not so sure about that. We've always used jäckass, though I'm sure that is just anecdotal evidence. In fact, I remember growing up thinking that donkey was a term used outside of the US until I watched the movie Shrek.
People around here were a bit despondent about the chances Boise State had against 23rd ranked Fresno St.....but they ended up demolishing them. I have no idea why. Boise was only 4-4 going into the game, and they've lost to some mediocre teams, but they've now beaten two of the best they've played.
Amazing what you find while cleaning out an old office...
Ethernet 802.3!
10Base2 - cheapernet - BNC over coax
Need pliers for that on/off switch!
Oh my. I grew up on coaxial cables. Even to this day, I sometimes feel like modern Cat5/6 Cable are not "real" network cables because of how deep an impression was made on me in my youth.
This gives me an idea for a new thread...why Cat5/6 is superior to 10Base2 coaxial cables. I wonder which one of you is gonna argue with me for 20 pages about how amazing coaxial cables are and how wasteful twisted pair cables are because they only actually use 4 of the 8 wires.
C++ programmers will dismiss you as a cretinous simpleton for your inability to keep track of pointers chained 6 levels deep and Java programmers will pillory you for buying into the evils of Microsoft. Meanwhile C# programmers will get paid just a little bit more than you for writing exactly the same code and VB6 programmers will continue to whitter on about "footprints". - FunkyDexter

Well, I'd say that you shouldn't be brought up on JUST cables. They are likely to make a deep impression that way, but a well balanced diet is certainly superior.

For ages I've always wanted to try Epic Games Unreal Engine on Windows, but I could never could get their launcher to connect to their servers to download it. So now as an experiment, I've just finished installing the Linux version of Unreal Engine on Ubuntu, but in a virtual machine.
I don't expect it to work in a virtual machine, plus my computer is too damn old.
OMG! Unreal Engine's editor is loading in a virtual machine on my crappy machine!
It's in it's first run, so it's taking a while for it to compile it's shaders. Hopefully it doesn't have to go through this long process everytime I launch it. If UE doesn't run choppy, but has to go through this long process to load in Linux, I'll have it preload in the background when I log into Ubuntu.
As I understand it, the Unreal Engine is pretty heavy. You need a good strong modern PC to run it. I played a lot of Unreal games in my life and they were all taxing to the PCs I had at the time. The single player Unreal 2 was always my favorite though. I feel like giving it a run now that I've mentioned it.

Yeah, it's pretty heavy! While it was compiling, Ubuntu locked up. So I took a snapshot of where Unreal was in the loading process, powered the virtual machine off, and gave it up to 12GB of Ram to complete the loading process after I restored it where it left off.
After 15 minutes (yes, it took that long), Unreal gave me an error saying it couldn't find a Vulkan driver, so I configured it to work with OpenGL, and restarted it's first-run. If this thing works, I'm gonna have it preload when Ubuntu starts-up.

Wouldn't it be more logical to get a Vulkan driver?
I couldn't pass through my Unbuntu virtual machine to the GPU, so I was left with 4 cores, 8GB's ram I gave it, and OpenGL to get Unreal Engine to run, but it was dirt slow! I tried before to install Unreal on my host system, but I can't get the Epic Games Launcher to connect to their servers to download it, even after applying all fixes that should've got the Launcher to work! I'm just gonna leave it.
