I watched Kingsman: The Secret Service over the weekend, I like the look of the Swedish monarchy.

Just been to see Jurassic World with my partner and youngest daughter. We all thoroughly enjoyed it, a great film. I've always loved the Jurassic Park films and was really looking forward to the latest installment. We certainly weren't disappointed

We have a T-Rex!
I just returned from the flying field and have had both the small and the larger T-Rex in the air.

i went to see it aswell, best movie i've seen in a long time...
been at the edge of my seat for almost the whole ride, definitely worth the ticket price (which are outrageously high here).
Also excellent movie to take your Lass to

I loved the scene where Own was riding his motorbike amongst the Velociraptors. Sheer genius that totally worked in 3D. Even my partner who doesn't normally enjoy the Jurassic films loved it

Let me guess. Over ambitious and slightly mad rich person revives dinosaurs. They get out of control and rampage around a bit. Unlikely hero presses the big red restart button saves the day? Is there some subtle plot twist in this one or is it another clone? I know they didn't update the dinosaurs so they look even less like the real thing so I'm probably better off just watching the first one again and criticising the SFX in the comfort of my own home!!

I tought the CG was pretty good, tough the dinosaurs remained jurassic park style.

Wonder why their recommender system did not recommend:
Drives for 5 1/4" floppy disks and/or 3 1/2" floppy disks
along with this product.
Should have been listed under the section "Customers Who Viewed This Item Also Viewed", isn't it?

Another site (that specializes in old software) is selling this for $49..$109, depending on the included materials (manuals, etc.). This for USED copies!
FWIW, you can get Turbo C++ 1.0 legitimately from the Borland Museum for free.
Note that a large corporation cannot risk being sued by Embarcadero for copyright violation. If they need a Turbo C++ compiler for some reason, they will typically buy a copy, even though many compilers are available on abandonware sites.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Yes. First machine (XT clone), kicked the clock up from 4.77 to the giddy heights of 6 Mhz.
Next machine (40 Mhz 386), turned the LED on, otherwise did nothing.

Sure. The most useless thing ever to be built into a PC because it was the exact opposite of what it claimed to be. It did not magically make the CPU run faster than it's specified clock frequency. Instead it let you switch between full and half clock frequency. Slowing the CPU only makes sense if you want to save power and get longer battery life, but this was not an issue with those old PCs. Heat also was not as a big issue back then, even at full clock frequency.
On top of that, next to the turbo button there often were seven segment LED displays showing the current clock frequency, like 8 or 16 MHz. Those displays did not display the actual clock frequency. They were hardwired with jumpers with two settings which simply depended on wether the turbo button was pressed or not. You could set the display to any number you liked and I always had a little fun to set them to the opposite values for users who always played with the magic turbo button. The display said that the computer was fast and everything got slower.

There was some software that was dependent on the physical timing of the bus. Some games would run too fast on a new PC with a faster than expected bus. The turbo button slowed the bus, so the software could work correctly.
I don't recall it ever being about power or heat.

Many games did, in fact it is way easier to run DOS games now with DOSBox than with the physical machines back then
