The BBC micro a 1Mhz external bus socket back in '82.
There were units for an extra 6502 & a Z80 and later 32016 and ARM1 processors were launched for it.
Acorn was so proud of it's second processor technology that it actually registered a trademark for it - The Tube(R).
The BBC B with 6502 second Procesor unit evolved into the Master Turbo, the BBC with Z80 second processor evolved into the Master 512, but with an 80186 as the main processor.
Last year, the city of Munich, Germany opted to go with Linux instead of Microsoft software on more than 14,000 desktop computers. This was seen as a significant setback for Microsoft and a clear sign of Linux' increasing viability. But now the project is in trouble, according to Computerwoche.
This Spring, Munich needs to finish a migration plan as well as present a budget for the project. But according to Computerwoche there is not enough money and technical difficulties may result in stalling of the LiMux Project. In particular, smaller software vendors seem to be unable to migrate Munich to Linux, simply because they lack open source knowledge.

That's all it says.
So not really Linux' fault all those German NT admins and Microsoft Certified Solution Providers can't get their head round it all.
Your founding fathers just got pissed off because we needed to up taxes to pay the national debt run up by having to pay to insitute and maintain the colonies.
Just wait until Bush hits the magic trillion. Then we'll reap the whirlwind of a collapsing US economy driven to desperate measures.
Freedom, come on, did you really fall for that one?
not really, for me, because 10 pounds isn't a "natural" cut off point.
Having been brought up on 16 ounces in a pound and 14 pounds in a stone it's easy to visualise what a 12 stone man looks like but say 168 pounds and it means nothing (to me). Now I know the US goes for the 168 pounds angle but we UKians haven't done.
We don't buy anything by the gallon any more (by law) so I would find it difficult to pour out a gallon of water by eye but I could probably do 5 litres.
I have the added joy of having to convert Imperial measurements into metric for the children when someone on TV specifies something in inches or yards or pounds or (god forbid) farenheight.
Throw in that UK & US Fluid ounces are different or the hideous US measurement 1 Cup and it's a world of pain.
"Apart from oil - which was discovered, is produced and is paid for by the west - what do they [Arabs] contribute? Can you think of anything? Anything really useful? Anything really valuable? Something we really need, could not do without? No, nor can I.
"What do they think we feel about them? That we adore them for the way they murdered more than 3,000 civilians on September 11 and then danced in the hot, dusty streets to celebrate the murders? That we admire them for being suicide bombers, limb amputators, women repressors?"
As to what he was "trying" to say : I don't think it needs as much analysis as you seem willing to give. It was first printed during the build up to the invasion of Iraq while I was on the streets involved in anti-war protests.
This man was a Member of Parliament, entrusted with running the country. A country with many people of all races living here. Britains colonial past has seen to that. Our way of life is multi-cultural, I don't want this man to grace my TV screen. He can have his free speech but I pay his wages through the TV license and I don't want to pay for him no more.
"Nation shall speak peace unto nation." is the BBC's motto, and I am glad they are sticking up for that.
I'm all for political correctness btw. but bigots use it as a term of ridicule when they are exposed, and Kilroy-Silk did just that.
It has nothing to do with the tonnes of nuclear waste produced for which the only solution seems to be "put it down a large hole, that'll do" then?
Or perhaps my irrationality extends to thinking that when the pigeons around the UK's nuclear waste processing plants are so radioactive they would be classed as nuclear waste themselves if they were inert. Internal contamination of the pigeons was found to be beyond safety levels set by the EC in the aftermath of nuclear accidents.
The problem with nuclear power is that it is made by humans and they have a habit of fucking up on a grand scale.
In theory it's all safe and dandy.
In theory, theory and practice are the same.
You should read some of the US Nuclear Inspectorate documents.
Our own inspectorate says that "British Energy's downsizing has seriously compromised nuclear safety."
I could go on and on and on. But you know that already.
The 4th Edition is now released under a dual licence such that all source code is available under a Free licence (as defined by the FSF). The GPL it isn't but it brings the world of Limbo into the open.
Here in the UK the three are usually different. Financial years rollover on April 1st. A Company's financial year rollover is chosen by the company. This is so that there isn't a pile of work needed to be done around Christmas.

incompetant
did you mean incompetent ?
I've worked in a MCSP place. I guarantee you many NT admins wouldn't be able to install Linux, let alone run it.
The Register is reporting :

because really, who cares?
nice one.
I'd be interested to know how it works out.
I've had it as a bookmark for a while to go with my dreams of leaving the city.
Broadband keeps me here. Even moderately rural (Matlock) is forced onto ISDN and I really don't think I can go back to 64k!
ISDN must be the worst value comms in existence. I'm told it takes the same street cab space as 30 POTS lines so I'm not surprised!

although the debate goes on in the chamber, it is not where the decisions are made
unless you mean the ones with the silly plastic pellets
Where can I buy this 'internet explorer'?
Does it run on plan 9?
It will be interesting to see if they separate IE from Windows in a way they said was impossible!
I think Leonardo da Vinci got FP! on that one.
Draw the graph of price of photoshop against the demand for photoshop at that price.
The derivative of this curve will give you the elasticity.
Is that correct?
if not, I apologise
It's called the 'Elasticity of demand'
yeah, they should abandon their mission statement and drop all that unencumbered bullshit
How about

hmm, needs some work

Give me metric or give me death (well, maybe not)
you're correct
I couldn't find the full text, I had to trust a third party.
fuck him anyway, he's a wanker even if he didn't say it
My point was that They Lie, We Die
okay, I'll quote him in full :
"Apart from oil - which was discovered, is produced and is paid for by the west - what do they [Arabs] contribute? Can you think of anything? Anything really useful? Anything really valuable? Something we really need, could not do without? No, nor can I.

A spin off from the plan9 project was Inferno.

calendar year == financial year == year end ?
Here in the UK the three are usually different.
Financial years rollover on April 1st.
A Company's financial year rollover is chosen by the company.
This is so that there isn't a pile of work needed to be done around Christmas.
Is the US not the same / similar?
har de har
time to grow up?
