The initial IE was purchased from Spyglass for a small sum plus royalties on sales. Needless to say they were screwed. When Microsoft later claimed it was an integral part of the operating system, Spyglass claimed the royalty on a basis of Microsoft's Windows sales.

Does the new unleaded AVGas lubricate the valve seats like lead does? That was the issue with old cars, putting in new valves and valve seats would solve the problem.

in its shelters. "In 2011, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) behaved in a regrettably consistent manner: it euthanized the overwhelming majority of dogs and cats that it accepted into its shelters. Out of 760 dogs impounded, they killed 713, arranged for 19 to be adopted, and farmed out 36 to other shelters (not necessarily "no kill" ones). As for cats, they impounded 1,211, euthanized 1,198, transferred eight, and found homes for a grand total of five. PETA also took in 58 other companion animals -- including rabbits. It killed 54 of them."
We all know how well that worked out the last time.
The accident numbers represented as being caused by alcohol are massively overstated. If someone who has a detectable amount of alcohol in their system is rear ended at a stop light, that is counted, even though the person who struck them was completely sober.
Imagine Entertainment and Universal Studios confirmed that a remake titled Colossus, to be directed by Ron Howard, would be in production as of April 2007,[5] but was delayed for years. In October 2010, the project moved forward with the announcement that Will Smith will star in the lead role, with the script being written by James Rothenberg.[6] In July 2011, Variety reported that Universal replaced Rothenberg with Blake Masters of Law & Order: LA to do a new draft of the script.[7] On March 2013, it was announced that Ed Solomon, screenwriter of Men In Black and Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure has been brought on board to rewrite the film's script.[8]
I think Verizon should forfeit their rights to the landline infrastructure and associated rights of way. These can, in turn, be rewarded to someone who can maintain and improve upon them.
The engines used for the Antares are refurbished Russian NK-33's, originally built for use on the N-1 booster. These engines are pretty much 40+ years old.
For some workloads, Xen outperforms kvm, and vice versa. It is better for us all to have competing open source solutions than competing against closed source solutions. Also worth noting, Yes Xen was pretty much dead in the water for some time, but since getting their act together and getting support in the mainline kernel, they have been doing very well.
There is a very good reason for using Amplitude Modulation. Frequency Modulation suffers from the capture effect, where a stronger signal in an adjacent frequency will be received instead of the desired signal. AM does not suffer from this. You can also make out an AM transmission underneath a stonger transmission on the same frequency. Digital transmissions are competely unreliable in very low signal to noise situations. Digital works, or it doesn't. At least with AM, you will get fragments of the transmission.

Have the Chinese done anything of interest with their supercomputers yet?

The reason they are all CAPS is that they are transmitted using Baudot Code, a 5 level code with no lower case and a very limited set of symbols.

"Is security an issue? Yes, Kubiatowicz acknowledges, suggesting cryptography, for one thing needs to be part of it."
When are people going to learn? Unless you design an operating system to be secure from the very start, it is never going to be really secure.
Some valuable lessons may be learned from this, but I don't see it having much of a future.

The Fosters we get in the States is brewed by Oil Can Breweries, Fort Worth, TX, which I suspect is a front for recycling refinery waste.
I picked up one of these: http://arcbotics.com/products/hexy/
Arduino based, controlled via bluetooth or USB. Python on the host side, $250.
Not a bad way to start. A lot of possibilities to enhance the code on the Arduino, and on the host side.
The password(s) were on a sticky note attached to the display. I have no idea what happened to it since the Police took the computer(s).

Next weekend, at a local theatre, they are doing Wrath of Kahn and Into Darkness back to back with William Shatner hosting. It should be interesting.

A Canticle for Liebowitz, and Stranger In a Strange Land would make awsome movies. I hope that someday it comes to pass.
Childhood's End, and Rendezvous with Rama would also be awesom choices, it done right.
Go for it JMS!!!!

You are confusing Square with FourSquare. Two separate companies.
Microsoft came close to moving to Unix, but opted to continue with DOS. Linux did not exist until a decade later.
