From the article: "[Ron Milner] remembered showing it off to some buddies at a county fair when the game first came out, but that was 40 years ago!"

Perhaps it did?

How does this compare to Nissan (US), also non-union?

Parchives. Great for adding recovery to any file. :) I use them [now par2cmdline-tbb] religiously for archives. I started doing this years ago after having CD-R's burned on a drive (Plextor, no less) that I started having a hard time reading on any other drive.

Bitdefender likes to revert to default settings frequently. I prefer Windows Firewall (Win7) and have to turn off the Bitdefender firewall usually at least once a week.

They can. I bought a Roku 3 after seeing how much more responsive it was compared to my Sony BDP-S790 for streaming apps.

Paris, even though it may not be what is pictured, is also what I immediately thought of, from the GP's second link.

LEDBenchmark [1] does a good job with their own spectrum and flicker graphs. So far, the LED bulbs I have gotten based on their results have been good.

A regional (to me) real estate web site that we had to work with had a data service that output XML. It was naively implemented and managed to output malformed XML. Mostly in the form of a CSV field crammed into an XML field with non-conformant XML markup.

Employee IDs. That is [not even close to] all. Sadly.

A few jobs ago (factory automation), we had a story from one of our projects where a device (would have been a PLC or relay panel) was failing. Rather than dust, metal filings had gotten into the case and were shorting out connections. A "quick" cleanup, and the device was working again.

The old Right Stuf website catalog [1] (old catalog not accessible) would list their pages with the first two letters of the first item's title on the page. I found it immensely helpful, and even "borrowed" the idea for a directory on a local govt website (also no longer accessible).

You might find ladder logic for PLCs interesting. It simulates old hardware relay systems.

My work machine is not nearly that beefy. :| I do often have 8-10 cmd windows open. According to task manager on my machine, each PS instance on start is 90-100MB. I didn't dig deeper to see if that RAM usage would shrink over time.
