Really, kids. They haven't fixed the multimedia borkage, tcp connections still get maxed at an absurd level, and loading Outlook on a base DWM + Sidebar image is somewhere north of 400 Mb.
Zimbra may - briefly - make MS the biggest open source vendor in the world!;-)
I wasn't aware the "new" Technocrat was still associated with you - after dropping the old slashcode. I have some pals there - and still drop a post occasionally.
These guys are taking their cues from the American Zeitgeist - where the response to accusations of executive-sponsored torture are met with an offensive stance: "Damned right! We'd do it again!" Where the response to corporate collusion in illegal invasion of privacy is "retroactive immunity".
Forbin: "The computer center contains over one-hundred thousand remote sensors and communication devices which monitor all electronic transmissions, such as microwave, laser, radio and television communications, data communications from satellites in orbit all over the world....

It is self-sufficient, self-protecting, self-generating. It is impenetrable. In short there's no way in. No human being can touch it.... Colossus can communicate with us... and through this machine we can, in turn, communicate with Colossus. Now there's one last point. One inevitable question.

Almost immediately after the broadcast ends, Colossus displays a cryptic warning: "There is another system".
In general, most Iranians are free to come and go at will. It is bloody expensive - but if you want to live elsewhere, the barriers are at entry - not exit.
One in Marseilles, one in Suez. Not the same ruddy deal. The new break is on the FLAG cable - in yest another place: 56 kms from Dubai on a segment between the UAE and Oman.
You seem to be a knee-jerk skeptic, who's "Nothing to see here, move along" displays not - as you presume - intelligence, but rather a susceptibility to Jedi mind-tricks.

I think I speak for everyone, when I say just how much I'll miss this latest attempt to duplicate "America's Funniest Home Videos."
Those white kids from Omaha, lip-syncing Fiddy-Cent. I NEEDED the higher resolution!
Pun intended.

Windows is revolting!
Click start.
wait.
Let the menu populate.
5 seconds later, get a scroll bar, so you can mouse down to your item, offscreen.
Gee! I'm glad this search thing boosts my efficiency!
I want the alternate suckage in SP1!

If you got Vista for free, you paid too much.

That's a little east-end. "Sowf, too!"
It's a way of conveying dialect.
The entire post is written in an extinct west-London voice.
Wot can't tell the difference between a Kernel, a Filesystem and a Userspace Graphical Shell?
Why are they allowed to create artificial controversies, based on their flagrant ignorance?
Wot's got that submission to the frontpage, over the pearls of insight and observation wot I submitted?

I didn't mean to attach the specifics to you, Bruce. I just remember the general "boom" mentality that happened around LinuxWorld in 1999.
By 2001?
I miss the old Technocrat. Thanks for that... Have you another, like project in the wings?
I have a LinuxCare Visa Card!
it swears.

We could tell you, but we can't. That information is now classified as a state secret, under executive privilege.
92 Octane in a V-12. These guys ought to climb out from behind the beef jerky display, and pump it by hand!
Gets a chance to scratch my Jag! Database or not.
What's "mixed" about earmarks for the Creation Science Institute?
Kubrick - never again.
Sellers - never again.
Not folks that calibre - and not together.
Throw in George C. Scott.

No. I always been 137. Was 167 on the "old" Technocrat, too. Before they ditched UIDs.

The cable is actually number four - if I count correctly.
Target Iran - or a trading delay for the Gulf countries. Any how. No Accident.
