This will be impossible for the generation which follows us. I guess that means no blockbusters with Tom Clancy's characters turned loose to fight Mr. Bean on Jurassic park with Crockett and Tubbs.
I don't know what goes these days, but the Pacific Grove public library on the Monterey Peninsula used to have a Playboy subscription in the 70's. Kept this material in an adults-only section of the library - periodical reading room.
Bad guys don't need to crack the VPN they'd run this thing over, to do harm.
Just broadcast a stronger, interfering signal on the same spread spectrum. They could probably use a home cordless phone (some of which seems to pretty much kill 802.11b in many residences) and a pringles can.
Flashback to the '90's - a jwz link on Slashdot! I have resisted visiting Jamie's page for some time - as he is a good linker, and I compulsively begin navigating all over hell-and-back. Tabbed browsing only aggravates this: (middle-click, middle-click...) Now I'm nested three iterations deep on four browser panes!

Interix is interesting, but not particularly good. It relies on the MKS Korn shell code - which is not fully compatible with AT&T ksh. This is from Dave Korn himself.
You are right, though. MS SFU integrates as a real subsystem, unlike Cygwin - which runs on top of the Win32 subsystem.
Have you gone through the hell it takes to get a GNU toolchain and build environment running on SFU? If Solaris is a five, and Irix is a seven, this is about eight and a half - just because of how much work you need to do. Cygwin may have big latencies, but once things launch - they are fast and compatible...
The original plan was for a 32-Bit, OS/2 3.0. This was the MS roadmap - which conflicted with IBM's desire to have 3.0 remain 16-bit, with a true object-oriented Presentation Manager. This was part of the fallout between the two companies in the late '80's.
By the time Cutler's development on the NT kernel was far enough along to support the PM layer, Windows 3.0 was already a runaway success, beyond the dreams of OS/2 adoption.
It was a nail-biting decision by Gates and Ballmer to turn their backs on IBM and supplant Presentation Manager with a 32-bit Windows environment for the graphic shell to the new OS. They were scared, but the gamble paid off.
It's not built on DOS.It's built on what I'd call VMS-NG.
The NT family of OS's can be veiwed as being divided into what happens in "Cutler-space" and "Allchin-space". It's a little bit of an over-simplification, but almost accurate. The device-manager in 2000/XP crosses the Cutler/Allchin axis, and even NT4 moved graphics drivers from the user subsystem to the "NT Executive" (Ring-0) space.
Cringely advocates moving the most arcane, esoteric, unreliable and unmanageable layer - with it's legacy Windows 1.0 baggage - on to a free OS. A better idea (technically speaking) would be the creation of a REAL integrated POSIX subsystem to replace Win32, etc. This would be Son-of-OpenVMS!
Bless you! I just meta-modded you a fair for insightful. My friends list -for what it's worth- just grew by one after this gem:
"I love it when some sniveling, little Reagan-ite calls constitutionally guaranteed freedom and liberty "60's era" or "naive." What they're really saying is
"Sure, liberty sounds good...But facism and elitism just make more sense in modern society."
O.K. We all know the historic MS/SCO link over Xenix. It would be great ploy by a sinking SCO ship to succesfully execute a patent claim over Linux implementations - so as to position themselves as an MS aquisition target.
This is no more inconceivable than the recent, successful coup against Constitutional rule in the United States...
>And I believe they could not say "FireWire" in a Beavis and Butthead episode no matter how much paid in royalties. K mebbe that last line is a troll, however it may bring a smile to your face if you get it.
Huh huh... He said "Get it." Hey, Beavis. Does your FireWire get it?

That's how I first read this. Mr. Rumsfeld wishes it were so...
Now, all we have to do is port these to simulated hardware achitectures that exist only in memory - Like a PDP-6 or Mac-512 emulator.
The real value to Intel will be complete!
Thanks, another old-timer.

I know that Oakland is nearby, somewhere east of hear. I always called that "Overseas."
I still need dd

While having all of the components of an "office" software suite -- word processor, outliner, database, spreadsheet, graphics, communication -- and more, including a memo pad, address book, world clock (different time zones), calendar, "do list," label maker, ASCII file utilities, command line, disk copy, format commands, and configuration options, this suite does not have the ability to integrate data between apps. Still, it goes far beyond WP/SS/DB/comm suites and has full mouse support. The calendar option does not accept the year 2000 ("00" gives an error) but does accept 19xx and years beyond 2000.

Now, how about Prodigy from Sears, with those CGA graphics? Don't hog all 4800 Baud!
