1. YouTube has videos of tardigrades.

A coworker and I have decided there is a biological classification in between "single-celled organism" and "big and complex enough we'd just call it an animal", and that classification is "you don't expect videos".

2. In emacs, type M-x dunnet. Anybody remember how to break into a VAX 11/780?

There were three default account/password combinations to VAX/VMS as I recall correctly, the 780 was clearly of the right era for that. (It was also the canonical "MIPS" benchmark, as I recall.)

Anyway, I'm not sure if I remember all three, but I'm going to guess:

SYSTEM / MANAGER
and
FIELD / SERVICE

Given that this was an Emacs game, I also tried rms / rms, but it didn't work. That's really too bad.

Hmmm. This is a text adventure, yeah? The other classic is the movie gag where the password or whatever is written down nearby, something like that?
