Yes, in fact. I had an Amiga 1000. My favorite moment was managing to launch two programs at the same time off one floppy disk and listening to the disk head lurch back and forth trying to load them both at the same time.
I found it much easier to get shit done on an Atari STe, though.

Are you busy?

Alas, some cruel force of nature has left me woefully imouto-less. Perhaps it is karma for some atrocity committed in a past life. If, however, I were blessed with a younger sister, I would hope to be such a fine, upstanding older brother to her that I wouldn't even need to ask for her to refer to me with such affection. On the off chance that my beloved imouto wasn't familiar with the terminology, I wouldn't hesitate to politely request that she call me Onii-chan.

>>327
Probably the Star of Chaos.

Assuming you mean anonymous textboards like this one, I think they are great! The lack of identity removes a lot of problems with ego and drama. And compared to anonymous image boards, I find them more interesting...maybe because outside of kopipe, all the content has to be original. Plus all the text scares away people who just want to be lazy and look at pictures.
That said, I think DQN is good not because it's a textboard, but because it's a small community of people in a fairly similar demographic. It doesn't really matter if it's a textboard, imageboard, phpBB, USENET group, mailing list, local cafe, the youtube comments of a deer video, a secret society underneath the abandoned mansion's basement, or an obscure IRC chatroom....having a solid user base is more important than the medium itself.

Do you think dance music can be enjoyed without dancing?
>>331
Yes, I do. I do so every day, actually.

Are you interested in cults at all? If so, what do you find interesting about them?
>>338 as one kind dokyun very nicely informed me elsewhere, cilantro is not a spice but an herb. He's right, but he can still go fuck himself (maybe with a food item such as a cucumber? It's up to you, really.)
So please ignore my question and make a new one.

Four: one pair of general use brown shoes, badly worn; one pair of trainers, barely used; one pair of walking boots, well used but still in good condition, and one pair of brand new black boots I bought earlier today to replace my worn out brown ones.

What is your favourite piece of music that is less than three minutes long?
>>356
This is often brought up in the argument against utilitarianism, and I feel it's important to take into account the feelings of the voyeur(s). While there is no direct suffering inflicted upon the voyeuree, the voyeur(s) after seeing how easy it is to spy are left with a sense of paranoia that they themselves are being watched so I don't think it's possible to phrase this situation to have zero suffering.
On the other hand often times this argument is specifically phrased as "producing zero suffering" in which case the premise has already (likely falsely but none the less) tautologically stated that it's ethical so of course it's ethical.
>>358
Ethics aside, if it was right there in front of you would you take a peek?
>>365 When a girl's cuteness makes you feel all melty, and you just want to keep her in your pocket safe and warm forever. (I guess maybe a boy could be moé too, but I haven't really thought about it). What you have to remember though, is that she's a person with thoughts and feelings and hopes and dreams and aspirations; be careful not to stifle her with your selfish love.
>>367 How long has it been since fortune shone her brightest on you?
>>371 Born, just another kind of preference. Now at what time do you discover or accept it, that's another thing. Gay people are something you never see as a kid and when you do discover it the consensus by society is that they're disgusting, so you're kinda conditioned against it since young. That makes it hard for some people to accept they're gay until later on, and try "compensating" for it meanwhile.

I sat next to a guy on an airplane once who ran a small record label. He was a professional jazz drummer and apparently a big deal in the scene where he lived. His name was Stix Hooper. I remember that he was really chill and also that he kept ordering screwdrivers. According to Wikipedia:
"Among the numerous acknowledgements and accolades Stix has garnered are 12 Grammy nominations, No. 1 awards from various music media, named one of the top drummers/musicians by Downbeat, Playboy Magazine and other publications, received an invitation to the White House, keys to major US cities and several international honors."

If someone gave you $2055 to spend on yourself with the requirement that you make exactly two purchases you would not normally make, what would be your second purchase?
>>382
A computer worth $2000. First purchase was a pack of vitamins, I don't buy that shit ever. As for the computer, how often you spend $2000 on a single computer? It's so abnormal, my credit card company would probably phone me about the unusual purchase, if my credit limit was that big in the first place, anyway.
>>384
Do you have a credit card? How many boxes of pop tarts would you be able to buy before maxing it? If you don't then you can calculate the number of boxes based on an approximation of how much money your parents have spent on you since you were 10.

compute the remainder when 5^55555 is divided by 7 (and the quotient too, if you wish). If you feel like it, also compute the remainder when 5^(5^(5^(5^5))) is divided by seven.

Be careful, RAID is not a backup solution! If you're still not convinced, read this on why you should backup:

How should I cure or at least temper my Internet addiction without going off the Internet completely? I use it for valid things, but I also waste too much time on unnecessary stuff like combing eBay for things way out of my current budget. I also have a bad habit of refreshing forums compulsively when waiting for replies.
>>409
Wow, I have no idea. Probably the last time I went to a family restaurant, but I have no idea when that was either. They always have a tin of cheap crayons and disposable placemats with cereal box-esque puzzles on them at that kind of place, you know what I mean?

In the folk tune John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt, for the second, shouted reiteration of his (your?) name, just before the da's, is it better to sing "Jacob" with a rhythm of straight eighths or a dotted eighth and sixteenth? How do the Germans do it?
And while we're on the subject, how do you feel about syncopating "his name is" so that "name" is off the beat?
also, and I know this is really pushing it, but are "name" and "too" supposed to be a half-step or a full step apart?
>>410
I don't know how the Germans do it, but it's not really a German song anyway. Given that it's a folk song of unknown origin, there's no way that it's supposed to be. Sing it however you want. Make up your own variations.
In my personal opinion, dotted rhythm is much better, same goes for syncopating "his name." A syncopated rhythm gives the song more energy and fits the song's joyfully silly nature.
In terms of a major scale numbered 1 to 7, the first "name" is on 4, the second "name" is on 2, and "too" is on 3. So, "too" is a half-step apart from the first "name" and a whole step apart from the second "name." However, some people might sharpen the second "name" to give it more pull toward the resolution, which is perfectly acceptable. In this case it would be a half-step apart. Do what suits you.

How often do you use drinking straws?
>>414 Yes, when I was a kid. Nowadays it'd be alright but I can imagine myself just staying inside playing my crappy videogames while people judge me for not training my pokémon like a normal person.
