That's an unreasonable expectation. If you fuck up for eight years in a row, you don't simply stop hearing about it a few weeks after you begin to stop.
You talking about 'W' or Clinton?;-)
(You DID mention the 'F' word.)
Interesting how the common reaction to a crime is punishment, but restitution is hardly ever mentioned. All to often, the criminal pays "community service," the taxpayers pay for the trial, prosecution, and defense, the police sell any stolen property, and the victim is left holding the bag.
What if this man was forced to locate all 250,000 of his victims, go to each, personally apologize, and offer to pay restitution? Would that be punishment enough?
I believe he is talking about AT systems. No hibernate, no low power mode. The switch on the power supply cut off the 110VAC (or 220VAC) coming into the computer.
Under intense time pressure to work with previously theoretical isotopes that just might save tens of thousands of American lives?
At the cost of hundreds of thousands of civilian Japanese lives.
Your "facts" are flawed. Go read http://www.warbirdforum.com/hirodead.htm (for some REAL scholarship on the matter.)
Then tell us,
How many civilians were dying each month in Japanese concentration camps? (From slow starvation and disease. How many Red Cross parcels with vitamins and medicines were withheld from the prisoners?)
How many civilian women did the Japanese draft as "comfort" women?
Last but not least, which country initiated the war and which country to tried to stay out of it?
One Russian I spoke to put it this way: many people there know that excessive smoking and drinking aren't good for their health, but do it anyway out of the belief that it won't really matter because of everything else they're exposed to.
I'd bet that is their excuse to smoke, but not the real reason. Most people who smoke do it because they want to for some reason.
Sounds like a job for Zepellin, customized to work near Everest. It would have to be big, and the weather probably would have to be ideal, but the maximum height for balloons is considerably higher.
Zeppelin. Like, duh.
Of course Dr X uses a Zeppelin. Think about it - first, he has to search for a climber who is straggling, zap him or her with the death ray, then haul the body back to the secret base to feed the yetis. Do you think he is going to do all that on foot?
Do you mean "unlimited" as in freedom? or "unlimited" as in beer?
Unlimited - as in All-you-can-eat restaurants:
A) Eat all you can until you are ready to vomit. Waddle out feeling deathly sick, but satisfied that you got the most for your money.
B) Eat, then take home extra in purse. (Some restaurants who will charge for food that is ordered, but not eaten.)
C) Eat one plate full. On your way back for seconds, the bouncer says, "That's all you can eat! Now get outta here!"

At my Chinese laundry, they still fire up their 2000 year old abacus to do accounting.

I vote for 250,000 slaps on the wrist. ;-)
HDD trashing or thrashing?
But you did make a good point.
Your two posts contradict each other.

ATX didn't come along until 1995.
If it had only been stored in a drum...

they could be very feint signals
???
Do you mean "feint" as in "fake" or "diversionary" or do you mean "faint" as in "weak"?
Proven technology. Sure, it's not so fast, but it is human readable.
they will start censoring spam.
And there was much rejoicing.

This judge has basically banned this guy from owning a cellphone for a year!
And there was much rejoicing!
Fined $1495 for illegal video recording -- not extreme.
Banned from possessing video recording equipment for distributing crappy videos -- not extreme.
Having the voter dip his/her finger in purple has been known to reduce excess votes.
Perhaps it reduces the static electricity.
I'm not saying I think (or care) one way or another but it is conceivable he used a parachute...I mean...this is Steve Fossett after all.
So, maybe Fosset and DB Cooper are not kicking back a few drinks with Elvis on some lush pacific island paradise?
Fosset is DB Cooper. (As proof, look at the cash the hiker found.)
Bad case of hiccups while typing?
Nowadays, most music is too cheap to meter (or matter.)
It would be much better to use a small fleet of high altitude autonomous drones with communications gear on board.
Or even better: giant balloons and a couple of routers. Plus a lot of cable.
How about hippies in a tree?

Flamebait?
Functional programming predates OO.
Lisp is 50 years old -- older than COBOL.
Did the replacement software work any better?
> BTW, there is OO COBOL out there.
OO is so twentieth century. Where is the functional COBOL?
(Functional languages are soooo 1950s.)
