Emily VelascoQuestion for the vintage computing enthusiasts out there:
A friend of mine has acquired a Sinclair Spectrum, but it only has PAL RF output.
Living in the US, he needs NTSC output.
Has anyone come up with a good solution for that?

Emily VelascoTo that, you add two tablespoons of sugar and two tablespoons of salt. You stir it around and then let it sit for a half hour. The salt and sugar will draw water out of the diced radish. That liquid will gather in the bottom of the bowl. After a half hour, you pour the liquid out, but save one third of a cup of it

Emily VelascoA friend of mine has been described by his friends as "the opposite of a sociopath," as in going so far out of his way to please others that it's to his own detriment.
He and I were chatting about this and decided there should be a word for it.
The word sociopath is formed from two parts: socio- for society and -path, from the Greek pathos, meaning suffering.
Looking for a suffix of opposite meaning, I found the Greek word agathos, which means benefit or good.
So, if a sociopath is someone who causes others to suffer for their own benefit, we propose the term "sociagath" for someone who does good for others while causing themselves to suffer.
