Two years ago, Chris Galvin was at the healm of Motorola, now it is Ed Zander. To say that the difference is night and day would still be an understatement. Ed Zander actually works for a living. The market knows this, and so does Apple.
Congratulations to the Dragonfly team! Instead of continously whining and moaning, they are speaking their opinion with what really matters: hard work and code. It will be interesting to see how well it continues to develope and evolve.
What is really amazing about this bug, is that it was one that existed in PC-BASIC 1.0, and was quickly fixed in PC-BASIC 1.1. Strange how the same bugs keep coming back.
Thousands of open source developers around the world would die as their head's exploded.
We used to have a joke at Bell Labs regarding the source code for the 5ESS. If we ever wanted to eliminate any competition, we would send them a copy of the source, and they would go bankrupt trying to figure it out.
You forgot to mention the incredible restaurant, the eagles, hawks, swans, herons, falcons and more wildlife than you can shake a stick at. It is also a National Ecology Park. Thanks Leon! You da man!
Fermilab is a self contained community. But you have to understand its history to fully understand why. When Fermilab was built, it was in the middle of farms. Now it is in the middle of suburban developments.
It is a wonderful blend of contradiction; hope, vision, beauty, reality, fantasy, and truth. It is a surreal place. A place of great power and yet the most significant things are so small they are almost beyond imagination.
Microsoft patents the exchange of Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide via breathing. A spokesman was heard saying that with this innovation, the competition will be smothered.
I have been in the unique position of working in close proximity with some incredible programmers over the course of my career. Although I have never worked with PHK, I have been the happy user of some of his work. $66K/year for PHK's time has got to be the deal of the century! Even in our post bubble burst economy.
IMHO, closed source solutions must be held to a higher standard then open source solutions. Open source solutions are proven in the wild, while close source solutions are much less so. With the availability of the source code, far more permutations of attack have probably been attempted against open source than closed source. In bottom line testing terms, chances are that open source has had far better code coverage tested than the closed source competitor. Closed source solutions must be held to a higher standard to compensate for this difference.
"SRI is currently modifying their on-line retrieval system which will be the major software component on the Network Documentation Center so that it can be operated with model 35 teletypes. The control of the teletypes will be written in DEL. All sites will write DEL compilers and use NLS through the DEL program."
It may be hard to imagine, but back then CRT terminals were a rare beast. Most machine interaction was done via Teletype, punch cards, and line printers.
Wasn't the 4 color map problem solved in a similar fashion, in the late 1970's, by Ken Appel? This is nothing new, there are just some problems you are not going to solve by hand.
It is obvious the only way to truly secure a machine is to kill the users. There are more windows users than Linux users, therefore, it is easier to secure a Linux than it is to secure Windows. This also clearly explains why OpenBSD is one of the most secure OS's. Of course, the most secure system is StoxOS&TM which currently has no users and is perfectly secure.
Sadly, this is a perfect example of a gaping loophole in the law. It doesn't apply to contractors outside the hospital, it only applies to the hospital.
Not only for the successful launch, but for the high quality Real Video feed. I wonder how many clients they were feeding simultaneously? I am quite impressed.

I think that was the LAST version of Word for Unix. And yes, believe it or not, there was a version of Word for Unix.

If memory serves correct, the ASM source for the BIOS was published as part of the original PC/XT Technical Reference Manual.
was Stanford's W project. I'll give you all one guess what the W stood for.

Does that make you a petaphile?

It costs the recipient $0.25+ for each call from a payphone. Hit'em where it hurts.
Already been done in the 1950's by Ted Taylor, one of the original members of the Manhattan Project. As you already guessed, not a practical weapon.
The Top quark was only discovered in 1995, and it is around 200 times the size of a proton.

It runs on everything else. Oh, the shame!

Water cooled mainframes were fairly common 20 years ago.
Byte hasn't been credible since 1979 when Carl Helmers sold it to McGraw/Hill.

Off the top of my head:
Sun: Sunview, and NeWS
AT&T: BLIT, DMD5620. DMD620, DMD630, DMD730, UnixPC/3B1
DEC: DECwindows/Motif
And I am sure there are many more that I have forgotten.
