The US and China didn't have a proxy war in Korea - Chinese and American troops were actually shooting at each other on a regular basis after UN troops under MacArthur got too close to the Yalu River.
If anyone was controlling a proxy, it was the Soviet Union, who gave advice, materiel (like MiG-15s) and the occasional fighter pilot to North Korea.
What they can do is charge you with different things that you did in the commission of the crime. For example, Timothy McVeigh's accomplice was charged in federal court with killing n federal agents, and he [has|will be] charged in Oklahoma state court with killing some other people, all of which happened in the Oklahoma City bombing.
Charge a spammer with spamming in Virginia, charge him with breaking and entering in another state. You get the idea.
The Sensation was actually my first IBM-compatible computer, bought in June 1993. I'd been an Apple//c owner since 1985 before that.
Not bad for its day - integrated Adlib outputting to the system speaker, integrated 2400bps modem/4800bps fax, proprietary single-speed Laser Magnetic Storage CD-ROM drive, onboard WD Paradise SVGA with 512K of RAM upgradable to 1 meg, 25 MHz 486SX that could ultimately be upped to a DX4-75, 4MB of 80ns RAM in 72-pin SIMMs upgradeable to 32MB, and a 106MB Seagate hard drive. It came with so much software that only about 30MB was free from the factory. For expansion, it had 3 16-bit ISA slots.
A later model went with a 486SX-33, Cirrus onboard video, and a 2x CD-ROM drive.
That sounds nice, but practically infeasable. IIRC, there are two Saturn Vs left in the world after Apollo and Skylab. These are in no condition to fly. One is sideways, partially disassembled, exposed to the elements, and "restored," at the Johnson Space Center in Houston (its actually a rather impressive display, if you ever get the chance to see it). I don't rememebr the current location of the other.
The other one was at Kennedy Space Center in November 1987, in the same condition as JSC's. I'd imagine it's still there; a Saturn V is awfully large to move around.
Cassette tapes also last longer when subjected to abuse. Most of mine have been without their cases for many years and they still play just fine. Try/that/ with CDs.
Now if only it was easier to rip a tape to Vorbis.
According to a study done by my university's student newspaper, the bookstore profits (IIRC) about 5% on each textbook it sells. The biggest share of the money goes to the publisher, who typically gets about 60% of the book's worth, each and every time it's sold. An independent bookstore next door to the college had prices comparable to the official bookstore.
So if you want to blame someone, consider the publishers.
Pfft. WTF was the HL2 source doing on an Internet-accessible machine anyway, and why were they using the world's most insecure email client on the same box? The guy is plainly an idiot.
I favor an old-fashioned belt pouch that I got at the Kansas City Renaissance Festival a few years ago. Mine's large enough for my needs - it can stow the equivalent of 2-3 355 mL soda cans.
Plus it's a good conversation starter - I've had more than one woman walk up and ask me about it.:-)
And why is it that back in the 80's I could buy an album on cassette for around $7.99, but today I have to pay $18 for the same ammount of content on a CD? CDs are cheeper to manufacture than cassettes!
Ever heard of inflation? Money is worth less now than it was in the 1980s.
So now that Red Hat is standing up for "the community", they're our fair-haired hero? What happened to all the "Red Hat is the Microsoft of Linux" comments?
Customer #1 decides against buying it while in the cereal aisle, dumps it there.
...
What happens now?
Customer #1 gets rightfully punished. I hated that when I worked in a grocery store. The worst thing was the wankers who would decide they didn't want a cut of meat, then drop it any old place to warm up and become unfit for consumption.
I know, your time is valuable, blah blah blah, but it's damned rude and inconsiderate.

I think this is more for people who want to learn to be Solaris sysadmins or developers, but who can't afford old Sun hardware.

Well? Don't leave us in suspense. :-)
There's really no filesystem that's as common, simple, and well-supported as FAT, unfortunately.
Where do you expect libraries to get their money? The only income they get is through taxes and fines.
Heeeyyy...
Emacs BIOS!
'Ere, 98SE wasn't all /that/ bad if you're wanting play games.
A more apt comparison might be ME and MacOS Classic.
Sorry, it had to be said.
I've seen an Amiga crash screen (guru meditation) on my parents' cable TV service.
Why do you have to bring race into it?
It is beta software, you know.

Ayuh. I still buy music on cassette tapes every now and then, and CDs have been available since... the mid '80s?
Then of course, there's the hardcore who still buy LPs.

There's a good reason why the ATI cards were so much faster than the nVidia: Half-Life 2 is optimized for the Radeon 9800.
