You're getting mixed up with the Pentium Pro. Ran NT etc 50% faster then an equivalent clocked Pentium but ran Win9x at about the same speed as a Pentium. They fixed the 16 bit part in the Pentium II.
Permanently? Someone does something stupid or politically wrong (remember the States has a lot of political prisoners in jail) and loses fundamental rights for the rest of their life.
In BC they also published and shipped to every household a pretty good book on minor medical problems. I know my household has used the book quite a bit, especially when my son was quite young. And this has led to us not going to the doctor for minor problems.
Where I live we get about 8 hrs before the phone lines die. Now the phone company sends a van out to sit there and recharge the batteries, extra important here as no cell coverage.
Actually next to OS/2 1.1. 1.0 had no graphic interface. IIRC some of the later versions of Windows 2.x proudly claimed on the box how it now had the OS/2 interface. OS/2 1.x had the program manager, file manager interface first.

The original plan was for MS to write OS/2 ver 1.x, IBM to write 2.x (basically making it 32 bit) and MS to write 3 ( a complete rewrite). Shortly after starting to write what would become NT they divorced IBM and changed plans from OS/2 NT ver 3 to WIN NT ver 3.x
Example: Menachem Begin, orchestrator of the bloodiest terrorist attack of the 20th century in King David Hotel in Jerusalem, with a death toll of around 90 people, men women and children both Jew and Muslim.
I think there were quite a few larger terrorist attacks in the 20th century. Air India flight 182 resulted in 329 deaths by itself (1985). Of course since it was mostly Canadians who died and was masterminded by Sikhs instead of Muslims it has been ignored by American media. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_India_Flight_182
section 3b ends with..."machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,"
Probably be ok if the target users usually had the above hardware but otherwise no.
More like 2 48k pages, the P-Machine was in the upper 16K. Been a long time but IIRC the heap was in one bank and the stack in the other. Pascal saw that it had about 90K of memory free.
If you really want to make an impression don't email it, they see an email and think that someone just copy and pasted and emailed, not very highly motivated. Ideally would be to hand write your message and snail mail it. Unluckily they have a workaround in place against this (vote is tomorrow). Take your hand written letter and FAX it to your representative, ideally from home but if you don't have a modem or fax machine there used to be lots of fax gateways on the net. Hopefully they are still there.
Actually it is worse then that. The whole American revolt thing started with the King trying to protect some of his subjects (the native Americans) from getting their land stolen by some other of his subjects (the colonists) and he had the nerve to make the stealers pay for the army that was necessary due to the natives not liking their land stolen.
But this election is different. This time it is a choice between rich really old corporate ass kisser and rich not so old corporate ass kisser. Isn't America great, when the voters want different choices they get it.
I'd guess that there are multiple redundant sensors and that when one goes out of range you'd get an error about bad sensor. In this case where it is actually a software problem all sensors went out of range which points to a real problem being likely so shutting down is the safe move.
Actually Canada does owe its existence to an armed citizenry overthrowing its government. We are the good portion of the citizenry who disagreed with the secession part ( the USA never overthrew the British government, they just withdrew from it). Unluckily when a portion, who may of been a minority, of the population went nuts and started shooting they didn't actually have a referendum or anything to democratically decide to secede, they just terrorized those who disagreed. We have seen the bullshit that can result from some nutcases figuring because they are armed they can terrorize the world. All my life I've worried about Americans nuking the world and they also seem to behind most of the removal of my rights.
We have cross burnings here in Canada too. There was one down the road from me the other year. Only thing is they had to do it in a vacant lot out of site of any houses (right on the street though) It is just illegal to burn them in front of eg a black families home as it is spreading hatred and is intimidating.
I guess what it is is that Americans often come across as arrogant. Perhaps we in Canada are a bit hypersensitive but unluckily America has to much history of acting like bullies. Even if you had started your comment out with something like "We in America have the same problems as the Canadians..." it would of not been so jarring of a comment. I'm not agreeing that you should of been modded down, just describing how I felt when I first read your comment. Generally I like reading your comments but occasionally that American self-centreness leaks out

Does anything more need to be said?
Yes, the fact that the USA is the only first world country that denies ex-convicts the vote and even denying convicts the vote is quite rare.
And before they made it into a movie it was an interesting short story. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sentinel_(short_story)

OS/2 1.x (MS+IBM) ...
OS/2 2.x (IBM)
OS/2 NT 3.0 (MS)
WIN NT 3.1
And I do have a BYTE magazine around here where MS announced that they managed to get OS/2 NT 3.0 to boot up.

I think it started as "Read the fucking manual" then got sanitized.
And if busybox.net vanishes tomorrow? Not likely with busybox but much more likely for a small project.

And if linux.org and/or busybox.net vanish? Not very likely in those cases but much more likely for a smaller project.

The P-system I used to play with (Apple Pascal on the // ) supported 128 KB, even on the 6502.

Generally the right to roam does not include developed/built up property. It is more for things like forests, grazing land etc.
