  • Some games/software expected/relied on a certain CPU speed to run correctly. If your computer was faster than that, the software would run too fast. The turbo button let you toggle between the maximum speed your computer could go, and the speed that the software needed/expected in order to run normally.

    Basically, there was an actual reason for the turbo button, it wasn’t just marketing on computers.



  • For example, if a company has 1,000 shares in total and you own 200 of them, you own 20% of the company.

    Not really true. Most private corporations have more than one type of shares, and this article doesn’t seem to recognize that. That’s a huge issue.

    You need to look at the articles of incorporation, the bylaws of the corporation, any unanimous shareholder agreements (Normally called a “USA”), and maybe even the resolutions in the Minute Book. Retractable, non-voting shares that you aren’t allow to transfer/sell without a director quorum, are not going to get you the same as voting shares, or preferred shares, or even shares that have different transferring restrictions.
















  • Not blasphemy at all.

    ToS isn’t good. It was decent for the time, but it’s not good.
    TAS, see above but for kids. Think the Scooby-doo show from the 60’s.
    I liked Enterprise when I watched it on tv, but not a lot of people liked it.

    Other than SNW the new Trek shows aren’t really “core trek” either. They each have their own style which appeals to different people.
    I wanted to like Discovery, but it seems to want to be a CW show about 3/4 of the time. We made it through the first two seasons and stopped.
    Picard: I also wanted to like it. He’s my husband’s favourite captain after all. I burst out laughing when Dahj is jumping around like a superhero in the first episode That’s as far as I got.
    Lower Decks: Not a fan of the adult-comedy-cartoon genre.
    Prodigy: I am not in the right age demographic.
