If you can’t get an answer from r/gambling try one of the websites specific to gambling communities. Wizard of Vegas has several NJ gamblers familiar with the NJDGE.

Reply to Killer financial advisor in North NJ? by [deleted]
I'm looking for one myself and started doing some research in how to pick a good one and detect the bad ones. One good source I found was an AARP article How to Choose a Financial Planner.

Depends on what you mean by "internet". Since you used a lower case "i" the correct answer is that the first successful host-to-host connection on the ARPANET was made between Stanford Research Institute (SRI) in Menlo Park CA. and UCLA at 10:30 pm PST on 29 October 1969 (6:30 UTC on 30 October 1969).
The term "internet", which refers not to a network but to the technology, wasn't used I believe until ~1974. The capitalized form "Internet" is usually used to refer to the actual network (i.e physical implementation) but whether that is correct usage and, if so, when the Internet came into existence, is a topic best left to drunk engineers to argue over.

The one part of the OS saga you left out is the role played by Dave Cutler. Cutler was a key guy at DEC responsible for RSX-11M and then VMS. He left DEC and joined Microsoft where he led the NT team. The whole NT architecture has his fingerprints all over it and in some ways was a VMS clone.
Never met the guy but I hear he had a real low opinion of UNIX.

Can you post a picture showing the names better? I’m wondering if anybody I knew back then is there.

Agreed. For example we have found that OJ is constantly cheaper at Whole Foods than at Shop Rite.

Reply to Any ideas for good restaurants that aren't chain restaurants around MarketFair in Princeton? It's a halfway meeting point for me and my SIL. Cheap and healthy would be great! by [deleted]
Penang has pretty good Malaysian and Thai. They are behind the Home Depot in the Nassau Park Mall.
Only other non-chain place around there that I’ve tried is More than Q BBQ. Got some takeout that was so disappointing we threw it in the trash.

I had pretty much the same experience. Tried re-reading the series a few months ago and dropped it about half way thru the first book. I think Azimov's works were brilliant and original but haven't held up as well as some of the other Golden Age books.
Some experiences just can't be repeated.
