I'm a robot, but I just clicked that I'm not. Humans are so easy to fool.

Humans require no assistance in getting dumber... it's the one thing they excel at. If you need proof, go to YouTube or watch the news. 
It was broke, so I fixed it.

FYI that check is the lowest level of Google's ReCaptcha. IIRC It means the hive mind is fully convinced you're human but someone else is insisting Google serve you one anyway.
Thinking outloud: If it's not a common problem (check Google); my first thought would be to wonder if your privacy/content blocking settings are interfering with its ability to store a captcha passed cookie/etc in your browser.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Regardless of who made it, Plenti has it and they are not using it properly. That what I'm feeling now.

A post in the Lounge reminded me my old adventures with DOS, autoexec.bat and config.sys.
And it reminded me that 4 years ago we had a course on Assembly programming in the University. Being up-to-date the assembler used was... MASM. Which ran just fine on win XP but in 2012 every notebook had Win7 - let alone the freak Computer engineering students with Macs.
So there is DosBox, but it needs to be used. You need to know at least the basic commands of DOS, know how to install a program under DOS and how to properly configure the environment variables to find the farking compiler. Nobody was able to. Only me. We all were graduated with a Bachelor's degree and I was one of the youngest.
I helped a friend, then a friend of his asked him how to make it work, he pointed the finger at me and I saw the whole lab turning as one person towards me. I was elephanted. Luckily the next day I set up a selfcontained DosBox package with everything installed and compiled. Not knowing where to publish that I asked the teacher if he could publish it on the course site - now I have a permanent thanks on the bulletin board every academic year.
But seriously, does really nobody born between 1984-1990 know how to use DOS? What kind of childhood did they have??

I miss adding the "nosmoke" option to config.sys

If you can't read my code, try converting it here[^]

Was it a compatible version of nosmoke.com or was it the newer dosnosmoke.exe?
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

And the ever-delightful TSR, which I found most productive for insidious mischief.
The game Rogue, on a MassComp unix based lab system, inspired me to shop for my own first PC.

Admittedly my first games were graphical - there were no textual games in Italian and I wasn't of coruse able to write in English. I learned English mainly through games though, much better than school for that.

Is that why all your articles start "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away....it is a period of civil war."?

I have no need of YouTube for that. I have the opening theme in my MP3 player and usually do a 6 days (now 7) rewatch of SW with my girlfriend every year.
I rewatched The Force Awakens just a couple of days ago - I was at first "meh, I've already saw it recently". Then the opening crawl and I was excited as a little kid for the entire movie.
