Technically not from space since the lower stage never made it past the Karman line, which is 100km above sea level.

10yo me realized that other sized batteries that were also 1.5v could be used as well if I had enough tape and aluminum foil, so then all the flashlight D batteries around the house started to go missing as well.

It's not even VESA. DOS just uses the VGA 80x25 character terminal mode that all x86 computers still have to start in for backwards compatibility, where "video memory" is mapped to 0xb800 in the 1MB real mode address space. Software you run can then change the video mode, such as to a VESA mode if supported, or for ultra nostalgia, "screen mode 13" (320x200 256-color mode).

You could probably write a Hashcat plugin to brute force that pretty easily. Something that tries groupings of keys that are adjacent to one another on qwerty keyboard layouts.

I've heard that some people end up using food as a substitute.

I still remember watching that live, and how shocked I was that he said it, and then being equally surprised that it wasn't being heavily covered by the major news networks that day.

I know this is just for laughs, but from what I've read, Jupiter's gravity well does about as much harm as good.

I was pretty into x86 asm in my teens. Nasm was my go to. Anyone else ever play with MenuetOS?

Exactly this. Myspace was great for meeting new people. They even let you search for people in a given area by age, gender, interests, etc. Facebook, from what I remember (deleted mine years ago), was actively hostile towards you meeting people on their site, to the point that if someone added you that had no mutual friends, the site would ask if you knew them in real life.

Yeah, the CAN-SPAM act, as far as I understand it, doesn't allow them to force you to make an account just to unsubscribe.
