Suddenly I'm wondering something.

I call disposable plastic grocery bags "Jewel bags" after the Chicagoland grocery store chain. I don't even shop there all that much these days, but any such bag is still a "Jewel bag" in my head.

Anybody else do this? Like, not Jewel specifically but your local store chain?

(Oh and, fun fact, an industry term for that kind of bag is T-shirt bag, despite it resembling a tank top if anything)

jupiter,

@TechConnectify target bags

Forget HD-DVD, what I want to come back is DVD-Audio

Wired: Morse code was the first variable length encoding

@vk6flab @kkarhan I guess the thought is that 1 dit ==
1 clock cycle and you could send A, N... in less than 7 cycles

god I forgot how slow HDDs were compared to modern SSDs, this server was a mistake

jupiter,

@fasterthanlime they're slow? I use an HDD for /home and don't notice anything
