Does the fact that MacOS X or WinNT don't come with sed, awk, grep, bind, apache, sendmail, etc. out of the box make them not operating systems to me? Hell no. This guy has no idea what he's talking about.
Alright, folks. It is a anti-ship sub. It has anti-ship missles. It's designed to kill ships (specifically American aircraft carriers). It can be armed with nuclear anti-ship missiles but the Russian claim it was not.
Hurlbut: I think, Lisa, that you've been taken in by an obvious
forgery. Unfortunately, historical research is plagued by
this sort of hoax -- the so-called confession. It's just
as fake as the Howard Hughes will, the Hitler Diaries, or the
Emancipation Retraction.
Lisa: But it explains why there's no record of Jebediah Springfield
before 1796. He was Hans Sprungfeld until then.
Hurlbut: That's preposterous. Get out! You're banned from this
historical society! You, and your children, and your
children's children -- for three months.
Jebediah: [on film] A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man.
Edna: Embiggens? I never heard that word before I moved to
Springfield
Ms.Hoover: I don't know why. It's a perfectly cromulent word.
And again:
Homer: You su-diddely-uck, Flanders! [grabs a bell from him]
Hear ye, hear ye! Ye olde town crier proclaimed crappy by
all! Chooseth Homer Simpson, and he shalt rock thy world!
Wiggum: Good God, he is fabulous.
Skinner: Yes, he's embiggened that role with his cromulent performance.
And yet again:
The credits are superimposed over a shot of the bottom of Jebediah's
statue: "A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man." Pan up to
Jebediah as an old west tune plays:
Hitch that team up, Jebediah Springfield
Whip them horses, let them wagons roll
That a people might embiggen America
That a man might embiggen his soul
His soul
His soul... Gracie tune is unchanged.
I've had netscape take down the OS indirectly. Every so often it gets a bug up its ass and consumes 100% of the system resources, giving
you the choice of hitting reset or waiting for an indeterminate period in the hopes that maybe it'll let go of its death grip on your system.
I suppose ulimit could fix that. Turnning Java off seems to do the trick though, as I've never had that problem happen to me while I had Java
disabled.
What could happen if one did publish benchmarking results -- they yank the license? I guess that maybe a big deal since Oracle licenses are so expensive but I'm surprised noone has tried publishing benchmarks.
I went to www.555-1212.com and browsed around a bit. Then I got a portscan from stats.555-1212.com on 137/udp -- that's NetBIOS. What are they gonna grep my SMB shares for more info?
Did anyone else notice this? What a bunch of bastards!
Certainly knowledge about viruses spreading in (non-cyber) populations has application to viruses spreading in the cyber-world. For example, there are two keys to effective viruses: infectiousness and latency.
A large latency period caused HIV to really take off (because people didn't know they had HIV much less that they were spreading it). In contrast, Ebola is horribly infectious but has almost no latency period (a few days) and so every "outbreak" of ebola has been confined to villages.
I think this also makes sense in the computer virus world.
The Los Alamos Study Group is a "non-profit, research-oriented, nuclear disarmament organization" which keeps tabs on the Lab. I suspect they are a bit on the hysterical side but they have some interesting things to say, particularly about the radioactivity of plants around the lab.

Er, I think the phrase is "a Konovalov."

A movie certainly would embiggen the show...

I am very curious of your results. Please keep us posted.

I can see it now: students gather together to protest the loss of privacy on the internet and the Chinese government runs them over with tanks.
Maple (which I think is considerably better than Mathematica) is also available for Linux.
