The trouble is that said scientifically illiterate morons vote, and they will elect morons like themselves who will cut funding and otherwise politicize science that they disagree with.
Our legislature has enough Republican votes in both chambers to override any veto that our Democratic governor might use. While I don't think this particular bill will pass, this means that in general our state is fucked until we get de-gerrymandered because we're going to be in an ideological race with Kansas to see who's more Republican.
Oh dear god. My alma mater had an absolute dinosaur chairing the CS dept. In 2001 he still taught machine organization using 8086 assembly language on MS-DOS, which (among other things) was intended as an intro to assembly.
No, I've had a genuine gray-label 1391401 as my daily driver (made in 1988) for a little over ten years now. I've had a 104-key USB Unicomp at work for almost six. I've thought about getting a Unicomp for home too now that more things are using the Windows key, but that probably won't happen for a while.
Maybe I'm totally naive here, but why not optionally make it a 3-pass indexer, with the third pass doing a file-content index on the files shown by pass #2 to be documents?
if the current generation had good enough sales in Europe Apple would make a fix and keep selling.
But since they haven't made any real updates to the Mac Pro in/years/ (the CPU is a few generations behind, still based on the first-gen Core i7 Xeons) their sales just aren't good.
I've got an old Linksys WRT54GL running the latest Tomato Firmware (v1.28; development seems to have stopped), which has MiniUPNP v1.4 providing Universal PnP services. Version 1.4 is not vulnerable to the exploits listed in the whitepaper (1.0 is), so it's probably safe to keep it turned on.
You can get Windows for Workgroups 3.11 on the Internet, after a fashion. Microsoft made IE 5 for it, and a TCP/IP stack. You'll need those plus Win32s. There are versions of Netscape (up to 4.08) and Opera (up to 3.62) available as well.
I've got a Microsoft Virtual PC VM of this, just for kicks. It mostly doesn't work on the modern Web, but if you can find a simple enough web page you can look at it.
Actually the Finns did end up running out of ammunition just a few days before the Winter War ended. IIRC they used up their artillery ammo first (particularly at a position that was guarding a frozen-over part of the Gulf that the Soviets were trying to cross) and then ran out of small-arms ammo. They never did have enough antitank weapons or cartridges either - one of their bunkers was finally taken once the Soviet commander realized this and had his tanks park in front of the Finns' firing slits.
With the Japanese... eh. The underlings had a culture of lying to their superiors, lying about failures and exaggerating successes. Made it hard for the overall commanders to get accurate intel about what worked and what didn't. I'm sure there were other factors, though.
The Soviets did that against the Finns in the Winter War, too. William Trotter described them as locking arms and marching towards the Finnish positions on at least one occasion.
It's one of those things you can do if your leaders are authoritarian, don't value human life & you've got more people than the other side.

It's intellectual laziness, and it frees those who claim there's "no difference" from guilt for having picked the worse of the two.

They've since switched to MIPS asm.
Honestly, I think something saner like M68k would have been better, or failing that 32-bit NASM on a then-modern platform like Win32 or *nix.

Minix 3 is no longer aimed solely at education. It's now trying to become general-purpose.
Libertarian masturbatory fantasies involving guns.
HAHAHAHAHA

Ctrl-Esc does the same thing. You just don't get the Windows-key shortcuts that you've been missing all these years, like always.
Drones are smaller, harder to see, and can stay up for a lot longer than a manned aircraft.

You do recall. :P
MS-DOS, not that abortion known as Amiga DOS. :P
Security? Pah. DOS doesn't have any security whatsoever. Viruses spread by infected floppies were fairly common.
There are programs which can do this for you. They basically set up an idle loop and can be tuned to the speed you need.
Bah, too fancy. My prompt:
set prompt=Master, what is thy bidding$_in directory $p$g?
which makes a prompt of:
Master, what is thy bidding
in directory C:\DOS>?
Sure it is. The gas giant's atmosphere provides the fuel, and that's one of the hard parts.
Niven's way ahead of you. It's a simple matter of knocking Uranus into a cometary orbit and using its gravity to move Earth further out.

Or it could be that you're just a conspiracy theorist.

Bah. TFA is talking about Photoshop 4.0, not something hugely older.
