Ironically, it's a very old term for a powerpoint presentation. Presentations used to be done with actual photographic slides in a projector. They were stored in a deck of slides.
I only know this from Mad Men.

do as i say...
Naming things is one of the two hardest problems in computer science. The other one is cache coherency and off by one errors.

Florida teen says she was denied entry to prom for wearing a suit
Reply in thread
Yup. Trans or not a girl should be allowed to wear a suit or a dress. So should a boy. As long as it qualifies as "formal" for either group it ought to qualify for the other.

I once did a toke at a party and then I died true story
I once caught gay from a used marijuana needle. Never again. Took a lot of prayer and fasting to make that go away. Ban it. Ban it all!
(/s, of course. Shouldn't be necessary but this is the internet....)

I miss how much color there was back then
Forget colour. That generation iMac was incredibly repairable compared to today's Apple stuff. Two screws on the back panel and the whole internal tray slides out. Every major component's immediately accessible. And all repair parts were available.

Oldest man. IIRC the oldest woman is a few years older.

I just have a rule that I don’t let things be disgusting.
Some people who spend their entire waking hours cleaning believe exactly the same as you. They just have different thresholds of "disgusting". My in-laws are like that. I'm much closer to you; where I can easily accept untidy, but not dirty.

Not gonna lie.. my first reaction to that in this context is "two in the pink one in the stink". Now I feel dirty, thanks, Beryl.

Playboy image from 1972 gets ban from IEEE computer journals
Reply in thread
And who bring a Playboy mag to their university's computer lab, and advertises their possession?
Probably a random grad student. They were just coming out of the "sexual revolution" of the 60s at that point. It'd be a lot weirder ten years earlier or ten years later.
That a similar thing did happen ten years earlier is the weird part, I think.

They're not "write-protected", they're literally a write-once medium. The name "burner" isn't a metaphore, that's actually what they do.

Charged. Not convicted. He didn't get bail, so he's in jail waiting for trial.

I'd hate to be the first human.. in the original game there are dead people all over the place and the evil humans you do see are posessed.
