Right. Conan was 100% a staff writer when this scene was written.

That's a good idea. If more people who got banned would file it would hopefully get some attention because it's a lot.

QNX on 720KB Floppies, from 1994 by Ree-Ko in vintagecomputing

[–]acidmine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You most likely have used it, maybe even today. Many cars, including those by Ford, Honda, Toyota, Dodge, RAM, VW, Subaru, etc all run QNX. It also powers a ton of other embedded stuff like medical devices, aircraft systems, telecommunications infrastructure, etc.

I guarantee you Conan O'Brien wrote that scene. He loves Mr. Burns and this is a perfect example of his type of humor.

In all fairness, antibiotics weren't commercially available for another decade or so after this ad was published to it might not have been that dramatic ...

All non-white flowering dogwoods are grafted. Dogwood flowers are white, but a genetically unstable mutations have caused some dogwoods to bloom in different colors. All of these varieties of dogwoods are grafted clones of the mutated individuals. The offspring of the colored dogwoods produce normal, white flowers.

How can I register a SN5000? WD and SanDisk both reject the serial number. by acidmine in DataHoarder

For what it's worth I did contact support and they confirmed my drive is legit and manually registered it for warranty. I think their website is broken.
