vintage

Gawking at fake vintage photos. Or reading her horoscope.

I'll bet you the old "vintage" routes that the author pines over were pretty darn expensive when they too were first inaugurated. For the <4 hour trips, high speed rail is excellent, and I believe those prices will fall.

I bought a $300 eMachines EL1360G-UW11P for a home server to replace my 2001 vintage 800MHz P-III. I installed linux but it wouldn't boot. Major bummer.

My smartphone is also my light meter, when I'm out and about playing with vintage cameras that pre-date my birth. Not a very typical use case, but one where a laptop or even a tablet would be utterly useless.

Heres another angle on vintage space: Voyager 1 is more than 11 billion miles away, and its run off 64K of computing power and an eight-track tape deck. In the last ten years, weve discovered two previously unknown species of human.

I liked this vintage Carmack quote from Ken Silverman's website: St. John: If you could just hire anybody from the 3D world, who would you hire? Carmack: Well there's a big difference between who I consider the most talented and who I would necessarily hire, because you have to hire people that fit right.

Indeed, the producers could probably have sourced lenses of similar vintage on the antique market or with the cooperation of a museum. But that would not be as interesting for the documentary.

Officers on the scene report a broken glass, a box of vintage wine, and what seems to be a family album strewn across the floor, containing images from days gone by; some containing handpainted portraits of Murdoch in his early days, donning a top hat and monocle." I've got to give it to them, that's hilarious.

There are plenty of other examples from America, including vintage Ford Mustangs, Winnebagos, Converse tennis shoes and Baseball. I spent a couple of years expatriated to Japan and learned that for a Japanese person to admit they had a hobby or interest actually meant they were expert with it.
