@edfladung Spaces? Never felt it. Gave it a shot a few weeks ago and can don't feel the love. Rather have my shit together on one screen.

Spaces is great although it does minimize the use of Exposé. - Akiva

Robin - How do you use it? I can see if you are video or sound editing and want to keep work spaces separate, but when I gave it my shot, it just made me annoyed after a while. - Steve Isaacs

Steve, you might want to try it with Warp. Being able to quickly switch spaces by bumping the cursor against screen borders is really helpful. - Akiva

I use it and feel quite annoyed without it. I separate my spaces into "contexts". One space for browsing, chat and internet related things. One for music production apps like Ableton Live etc, another for music and file browsing. Lastly, the fourth space is for Miscellaneous. - Eiwe Lingefors

Me...a booth at winter Comdex of '94 or '95 (not positive) strangely enough I don't recall the vendor or product but spent tons of time picking his brain to learn more about the net & the web. (edit I was 28 or 29 years old) - Mark Krynsky

I miss mosaic... I miss the web being 80% text and 20% graphics... sometime around 94 for the www... I was on usenet and IRC before that - Sean Reiser

home computer, 93-94, accessed via local BBS, then through winsock and netscape 1.0. game changing moment for me - sean percival

the sysop had to walk me through the whole thing via 2nd phone line, it was rather involved, and man was he proud - sean percival

Sean...cool...when I returned I went through Microtimes and saw ads for several ISP's and ended up signing up with this tiny outfit called Earthlink. They had to mail me a floppy with the TCP/IP stack for windows 3.1 then fax me a page with all the settings (DNS, Gateway, Mail etc.) I still needed to call support to get it going but it was Awesome! Oh yea, I was one of Earthlink's earliest customers, they had just opened up shop. - Mark Krynsky

AOL - LOL!! - Mona Nomura

Mona...doh! SuperFAIL! - Mark Krynsky

I was on AOL for years. I don't remember even realizing that BBS was a thing. But when I got into high school I remember seeing some kids looking at... um... interesting pictures of some young ladies. And I decided to explore the net. I found a lot more than just... um... interesting pictures of young ladies and slowly got hooked. So it must have been around 95-96 when I got outside of the walled garden. - Andrew

In the university office of one of my dad's friends (who died recently), he had Mosaic running and showed us this new thing called the World Wide Web. Fond memories. - Vincent X

I was quite the Compuserve trial package abuser back in the day. Also had a blast on those early multi-line dating BBS'. - Mark Krynsky

AOL, 1994. The Internet blew my mind from day one. - Steve Isaacs

I also ran a BBS on my Atari 800 in '83. My handle was "The Banshee" and my BBS was called Ban's Dark Castle...as my wife sometimes says...Nerdtron! - Mark Krynsky

I saw the WWW well before I ever had access to Mosaic. I was using lynx on an Ultrix machine in the late 80s/early 90s. Don't remember the exact time. - Akiva

Wow...you guys are some hardcore old schoolers...make me feel like such a newb :) - Mark Krynsky

October of 1996. I know this because it was the month before the Romeo and Juliet movie came out and I saw an ad in a magazine for a website associated with the movie. I really wanted to look at the website and my dad had the internet at his office so one day after school, I went over there and used his computer at his office to check out the website. - Rochelle

Mark: Ran a BBS at some point too, it was called CyberDream... Was just for friends though. - Vincent X

'92, college job, "monitoring" the students on the mac classics & some NeXts. I showed some friends how to look up phone numbers and addresses of students at other schools using gopher. I remember seeing the coffee pot video at MIT. Aw... Best thing was infrared satellite images of Earth, though, that was my default screen for a long time. Job was until '94 - anna sauce

The ISP I used to dial into, Primenet, had a text gateway. This was back in 1993 or early '94. (http://web.archive.org/web... archive only goes back to 1996.) WWW was an option under one of their menus. I was mostly on USENET back then. I'm not sure how I stumbled upon the web. I remember using Mosaic, then Netscape while it was in beta when I started going to Cal State Fullerton. Good times! - Oliver Ortega Chua

My Web : since 1997. - Igor Poltavskiy

Home, working on my SysV box (I had another with a Linux .092 alpha) using my telebit trailblazer :) - Soulhuntre from twhirl

Akiva: Lynx was released in 1992, so that rules out the late 80s. ;) - Vincent X

haha I found myself! http://web.archive.org/web... - Oliver Ortega Chua

Must be thinking about gopher/WAIS, then, Vincent. - Akiva

Here's a better link: http://web.archive.org/web... It looks like my memory was wrong. Delphi was my first ISP. (I was also on Prodigy, CompuServe, Netcom and, yes, AOL, too.) - Oliver Ortega Chua

I can't remember. I had an Apple II with floppies growing up but never really used it. In 1992 I was in the 1st English class at my college that was computer based. I remember having to format the discs before using them. It must have been 1993 or 1994 when I was shown the wonders of the WWW. - Miranda

1994 in Berkeley. Dual booting Win 3.11 and Linux 1.0 (Slackware FTW!) No ethernet, just 14.4 kbps and PPP. We were doing all our web browsing and gophering with Lynx, either directly from Linux, or telnetted into an Ultrix or BSD server on campus. The guy down the hall showed us Mosaic 0.9 on Win 3.11. He was already browsing pr0n. The first site he hit was www.playboy.com. LOL I think he was the reason why the computer labs immediately came up with usage guidelines. Ah memories. - Victor Ganata

It was Feb 1996. I now the date because I recently discovered the first site I went to, which still exist. It lists the month and year they started, and I sign up sometime that month. I was on compuserve in the late 70's my mosaic looked just like that. but I first logged on the web with an Amiga! - Michael Fidler

I don't remember the exact date but it was probably when I was in college. I've been online since 300 baud though. First with Quantum Link on the Commodore and then on to BBS's. - Rodfather

Haha...Playboy.com...Archive.org's oldest page is from '96 http://web.archive.org/web... - Mark Krynsky

The web didn't officially start until Jan 1995, which is hard to believe, It seems older, but that was compuserve. The only reason I waited until 96 was for an Amiga port of Mosaic! - Michael Fidler

Yeah Q-Link is *old* school. It was the Commodore 64-only predecessor to AOL. Even my dad got hooked. 300 baud. 170k floppies. 1 MHz CPU. 38k RAM. How did that all work back then? But in terms of the Net, I was on GEnie in 1992 and only had access to e-mail via UUnet or some such hackery. Didn't meet the actual Net until 1994. Does anyone still run a Gopher server somewhere? - Victor Ganata

I bought option in UUnet, and six weeks later MCI bought them. It was a nice return! - Michael Fidler

I was addicted to downloading SID music. I typed in code from a fat book to use the composer. There were some amazing composers on Q-Link. I remember DrJ5 was the shit. Any new song releases that came out, he would turn it into a SID song all from ear. Guitar solos and all. Like he would hear 'Welcome to the Jungle' and make it into a SID in a day. - Rodfather

People have differing opinions about what the "launch date" of the Web was, but most people agree it was sometime in 1993. - Victor Ganata

Yeah, the graphical web gained momentum with the launch of Mosaic in 1993 but existed in text-only format for at least a few years before. http://www.w3.org/Consort... (I remember watching a History Channel documentary about it, too.) - Oliver Ortega Chua

Um, no. I was using Viola back in 92 (http://bit.ly/WLh3). Back then it was interesting hearing rumors of this fancy new browser called Mosaic. - jho

Internet Explorer is the first browser I remember using. I've been on the net for at least 10 years if not more. - ЯIИGҜIИG

I remember buying "Internet in a Box" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... - Mark Krynsky

Jauder, the Wikipedia entry you linked to says that Viola was popular "to a limited audience." I think most people can agree that Mosaic, if not Netscape Navigator (which gave props to Mosaic), was the killer app. - Oliver Ortega Chua

There was no version of Viola for either Windows or Linux. Although I don't think my machine at the time was capable of running X11 anyway. - Victor Ganata

It was in 1993 at "Kungliga Tekniska Hogskolan" in Stockholm, Sweden. That day I also tried CuSeeMe for the first time and was blown away by the fact that I could speak with someone in San Francisco over video conference. Within in a year I'd purchased my own modem and started my own foray into the Interrubes. - Eiwe Lingefors

Akiva: Gopher and WAIS were both launched/released in 1991 ;-) - Ken Sheppardson

Oliver, the question was not what was the killer app rather where and when one first saw the WWW. Besides, I have never heard of the assumption that the popularly held idea of the launch of the WWW was sometime in 1993. - jho

Eiwe, I haven't heard CuSeeMe mentioned in ages =) I remember working with nv and the mbone around 95. - jho

Jauder, I don't think we're on the same page. :) I assumed you were replying to me when you said, "Um, no." Now I guess you were replying to Victor. I think we're all in agreement that the web was created before 1993. I'm assuming what Victor meant by "launch date" (he put them in quotes, too) is that that was when the web took off. Think of it as a car. When you start the car, it's already working but it hasn't "launched" until you hit the gas! :) - Oliver Ortega Chua

Yeah, I sort of meant the earliest time that people not attached to academia in any way had easy access to the web. Up until Mosaic, it seemed like you had to be running some form of Unix to have direct access, and you were probably attached to a university or worked at a company that was contracted with a university. I do realize that Berners-Lee already had things running by 1990. - Victor Ganata

From io9: "Actually, Blade Runner does BSG one better, or worse - I’m supposed to accept that Dr. Eldon Tyrell is a genius, but it never occurred to him that making robots that look just like humans was a bad idea? At least the human-looking Cylons built themselves. If I’m ever in charge of building robots, I’ll tell you what: They won’t look just like humans. They won’t even have skin. I won’t explain why. I think it’s pretty obvious. Anyhoo, who was in Blade Runner? That’s right: Edward James Olmos. So I think it’s fair to say that he unequivocally sucks at handling Robot Threats." - Mark Trapp from Bookmarklet

Funny, that, but reading the article, I think he was looking for camp, wanting camp. BSG is definitely not camp... - Michael W. May

Surely everyone is entitled to their own opinion. But if the write of that article is such a stickler that he can't get past some really, REALLY minor detail like that, so be it. I'm hands down a BSG fan boy but I don't need to waste my time on someone who can't see the brilliance in the show. - Eiwe Lingefors

I have to admit that I've wondered why Cylons don't get detected; they must be purely organic machines or something - Mark Dykeman

I can sympathize with your frustration. But, it is in fact a good idea for security. It's pretty commonplace to require passwords to be changed every 30 days. But, I'm an IT security guy so I'll stop now :) - Eiwe Lingefors

Thank you e3r. "In summary, forcing periodic password changes given today’s resources is unlikely to significantly reduce the overall threat—unless the password is immediately changed after each use. This is precisely the nature of one-time passwords or tokens, and these are clearly the better method to use for authentication, although they do introduce additional cost and, in some cases, increase the chance of certain forms of lost “password.” " - ·[▪_▪]·
