Those read and print areas ran from 1-80, not 0-79. Print area started at 201. (The machine addressing was truly decimal user friendly, no counting from zero required.)
All the 1401's I worked on had hardware multiply/divide. I know they made them without, but I never worked somewhere that tried to save money that way.
The characters were definitely not "bytes". The term bytes was introduced with S/360.
There was no "checkmark" bit, it was called a wordmark.
I never saw anyone write a card loader, the compiler would spit out the card loader as the first 5 cards of the object deck.
I actually watched the video. Seems like Facebook is finding systemd useful. They really present some extreme use cases. At one point they call systemd "awesome" so no doubt they will "keep it".
I've been using a systemd system for years now. Not one problem related to systemd. Unless you call fast start up and shut down a problem. The old init scripts were a mess, each one slightly different with no easy way to tell what commands each one would accept, and no way to get something simple, like the human readable purpose of the script. Systemd is a big improvement, for some reason rejected by people that somehow feel empowered because they can hack startup/shutdown scripts.
Seems like none of these web page designers can figure it out.

How do I know, you haven't got a clue? Any of the services can be run with or without systemd. Systemd is just a launcher.
Started when I was 19. I'm 66 now and still enjoying writing code.
Work from home full time and my employer is happy to have me. They know it's going to take one or 2 of their high valued experts to do the work I'm doing now.
I don't understand all this talk about blocking and avoiding.
When I get spam from legitimate companies I raise holy hell.
I just had Soft Surroundings decide it would be OK to send me marketing after I ordered something online. As far as I know, Soft Surroundings is a legitimate company, my wife has been buying stuff from them for years. When they decided it would be OK to start spamming me, I emailed all the standard addresses (sales@, president@, postmaster@, etc.) and told them what I thought. After they promised to stop and didn't I called their 800 number and started yelling. They did stop.
I don't expect spam from legitimate companies and when I get it I figure that's what they have 800 numbers and sales departments for.
Then why is the spam problem so much bigger than the telemarketer or junk fax problem? Surely there is some technical aspect to this "social problem."
The only technical aspect is that's it's easier to send spam.
I agree 100% with the idea that it's a social problem. The same amoral people that do telemarketing and junk faxes are doing spam. It's really a sad statement about the ethics of some members of society.
Lots of people saying, "if only FIOS was in my area".
As a former Comcast customer, what can I tell you but keep checking.
When FIOS reached my block, I called Verizon the next day. The install went smoothly and all the contacts I've had with Verizon have been great.
I'm done with those thieves at Comcast.
Internet is unbelievable, I shelled out extra money for higher speed. Downloading a distro used to be an overnight undertaking. Now it's more like 20 minutes.
I got a bunch of new phone features I don't need and the TV signal quality is great.
Best part is I'm paying a little less than I used to pay Comcast for TV and internet but I'm getting TV, Internet, phone and long distance with the price locked in for 2 years.
I'm still waiting for my free 19inch LCD TV from Verizon, but to make up for the delay they sent me a $20 gift certificate.
For $400, wouldn't the Dell 20.1" LCD be a better pick given the higher resolution and larger screen? Plus I've heard that the 20.1" is a superb monitor.
The Dell 20.1 costs about twice that. I'm using one right now. First read about the Dell on Slashdot and decided I had to have one. I don't regret that decision. I love this monitor. I'd buy another one in a minute.
The overall appearance is great, I love the narrow black border. The stand is a plastic silver colored ring. The base would be better in black but the silver color isn't bright enough to be annoying. The panel itself is what makes the price worthwhile.

Not if you combine the 2 airplane costs.
11.50 airplane cost
14.00 airplane maintenance
====
25.50 real airplane cost
Everyone knows, you peel off one of the dozens of stickers that the vendor installed, then you place it over the camera.
I sometimes stop and ask anyone nearby "do you hear that" but get back a "hear what?"
What you have is called tinnitus. Look it up and stop believing in magic.

Wikipedia says the golden ratio is related to 5 sided figures (pentagrams).
Clearly, we're seeing 5 stars in mutual orbit.
Yeah, wild guess.
Critical thinking is not the same thing as being cynical.
You can be skeptical without being cynical.
Yeah, I noticed the gray on gray too, and gave them feedback.
So, I just checked the current site. Background is okay at ff/ff/ff but the text is 31/37/39. I don't get it, that's just plain nuts.
Comparing the federal budget to a household budget is an idiots game.
I should not have to explain why the analogy is dumb so I won't.
Hope that helps.

If I'm slowing down, it's not apparent (to me).
Article doesn't apply to lots of us.
You hit the nail on the head.
The judge is an idiot.
He's in a country where the hospitals are REQUIRED to treat the sick, regardless of their insurance status.
A law requiring insurance is only logical, and fair.
And someone has to use it.
I do every day. Mainframe Assembler (z/OS) and I still manage to continue to abuse emacs in the process.
Mainframe Assembler with a nice set of structured programming macros. Nirvana!
This thing is not going to catch things dynamically loaded.
Not all that useful.
It might be amusing to see what:
cde emacs
creates though.

While I agree with the sentiment, I disagree with the tactic. In my opinion, it makes much more sense to go long AAPL, or for the adventurous, RHAT.
Disclosure: very long AAPL and slightly long RHAT.

Consider yourself corrected. Emacs has been able to display images for quite some time now.
No, by driving the truck you perform a service.
Simple difference isn't it?

Yes.
