under massive financial losses. It is buckling under the massive stupidity of Congress.
This would also mean that you have to go to the Post Office every time you have a letter/package to sign for, as they are probably not going to come to your front door for that anymore, either. Even though I live less than a half mile from a Post Office, due to the insanity of current cost cutting, I have to drive 8 miles away to get to the Post Office that serves my house.
Arithmetic is hard. A good teacher is worth their weight in gold. I consider myself extremely fortunate that I had a few in my career. Sadly, I don't know how we can change the system to get many more. If I could, Nobel Prize baby!
I don't pay $$ for Google. If Microsoft wants to make its products free, then OK, but until then this is abusive. They are trying to eat their cake and have it, too.
Offices of Congress. If it ever came out that the Congress was being monitored in its offices, the fecal matter would hit the rotating device at supersonic speeds.

Being the wake in front of the Bleeding Edge, HEP gets to learn all sorts of lessons before everyone else. As a result, you get to make all the mistakes that everyone else gets to learn from.
Android will be a good alternative for customer service call centers where you only want to use a browser and possibly one or two additional applications.
I can imagine a lot of thin client type applications that will have similar requirements.
It will save a fortune on licensing and hardware requirements.
Thanks! I was going to make the same points. It is worthy of note that not only did the company void its pension responsibilities, it legally stole from the pension to support executive salaries. Absolutely disgusting.
Not only that, but it lacks the features to exploit. Which is actually an important point in security, to only have the features you need and nothing else. Less surface area to attack.
I disagree, as far as real adoption goes. Yes, booting Linux from a floppy using a MSDOS filesystem did enable a lot of people to get exposed, but the race was lost before those people made a difference. Had BSD development not stalled for two years, many of the early commercial and big site adoptions would have gone to BSD instead. Many started with BSD and then jumped to Linux because that is where the momentum was. Red Hat's IPO sealed the deal.
BTW, I introduced Pat Volkerding to the Church of the SubGenius, and pioneered a lot of the early work with Linux at Fermilab. I know a little about these things.
That's not an Exascale program, per se. Of course they keep up on applications of that magnitude. More significant computing work happens on the other side of the county at Argonne these days. The last Supercomputer Fermi had was the ACP/MAPS machine from the early 1990's.
BTW, I was a member of the Computing Division, for most of the 1990's, and worked with many of the people listed in your links.

AT&T managed to change that in Illinois. They got their U-verse granted on the state level bypassing the local authorities.
is that the government is typically their single largest customer. Kind of tough to risk that much revenue.
Not defending the big providers, but admitting to reality.
The reserved geographic based addresses have a resolution of 1 meter.
It is supposed to be Open Source, not Open Sores. Some of us are still scarred from the nightmare of WFW.
Next words, ElectroVoice Eliminators. Even more efficient than the Klipsch's.
Now then, if you want imaging, Magnepan.

This should be easy.

I suspect there are going to be a lot more joint missions.
Durable, easy to read.
Assuming the DRM features remain in HTML5, there will be no need for a client, you'll just be able to use your browser.
You may be on to something there.

Brazil is actually an Instruction Manual.

Who will tell you that they are way too busy with helping the MPAA, RIAA, and other important campaign donors.

We might be talking about FreeBSD as we do Linux these days.

Say Hi for me. ;->
Fermilab has no exascale computing program. Where did you come up with that?
