Oh yeah? I have the KL-10 console from SYS-G at BBN, the machine that recieved the very first email. (Just the KL console panel, not the frontend PDP-11)
I'd never sell it, not for a whole garbage truck full of money!

This is a non-issue, just take some spectrum from all those ham radio geeks. All they do is screw up my TV reception, anyway. Not like they do any emergency services or storm tracking or anything...
(/SARCASTIC)
Amen!
And now, question, can someone point me at a decent Internet resource that offers information on getting a license? I like playing with radios, but CB is getting really old, really fast. You can't carry on a conversation anymore - All the trolls run illegal power and stomp on you if you try, and I don't feel like resorting to illegal power to overcome them. ('Cause with my luck, I'll be the poor loser that the FCC busts.)
DeCSS is illegal. The judge said so. it doesn't matter if it's right or not, the judge said so. You should all know by now that a lawsuit is just a contest to see who has the most expensive lawyer. The suit is over, Free Software lost.
Can we get over it now please?
I for one just resolve not do buy anything on DVD until the do away with the region codes. Why don't you all just refuse to buy DVDs? That's a perfectly legal form of protest, instead of just copying around the illegal source code.
No - It's from a KS10. The emulator doesn't run ITS, yet. It's from AI:KSHACK;BUILD DOC,
and I changed DX to SN.:P
I did have exec DDT running on the emulator though...

Not a good idea. If you tell Management that you have a system which prevents you from implementing their Glorious Idea of Things to Come, they will eliminate the offending system. The minute these guys say they run UNIX, they'll get an Executive Order to efffective immediately ditch all UNIXes and "upgrade" to Win2K. (At least that's how it went at a friend's ex-employer when it was revealed to Management that their Internet pride-and-joy ran on BSDI instead of their beloved NT4. Said company no longer exists.)
Microcode is a sub-Assembly language that's very dependent on the processor. It defines the processor's instruction set. The instructions are like ENABLE ALU A, SET ALU A INPUT TO DATA BUS, GATE ALU OUTPUT TO ADDRESS BUS, stuff like that. The instructions vary wildly from processor to processor and sometimes from processor model to processor model. But if you can manipulate tbe microcode you can completely refefine the instruction set. An example would be someone at MIT (I think it was MIT) hacked the DEC KL-10 Model B microcode to make the machine compatible with the IBM 370. Another example would be the ITS microcode for the DEC KS-10, which completely restructured the pager to make it use ITS style paging instead of the DECSYSTEM20 paging. They also added several new instructions via microcode update, and redefined the bus I/o instructions to make I/O work in a manner more compatible with their operating system (ITS). Certain models of the PDP-11 were microcoded, the LISPMs were microcoded, all of the large VAXen were microcoded, but I did not know PCs were microcoded. Or has Intel redefined microcode? Microcode defines the instruction set, it is not just a bunch of FEATURE X ON/OFF type stuff. It's much more important (and more a pain in the ass to debug!) than they make it sound.
Hey? What's wrong with the OtakuWars!? We like our acronym just fine, thank you. ^_^ (And yes, you're supposed to use the superfluous exlamation point, as patented by Pook! Waffle.)
a) - I don't know the case in question here so I can't comment.
b) - You don't think the Government's sick of Win95 too? ^_^ Besides, Sun and a lot of other biggies are in there too. The govt. is waay bigger than MS in that case, MS is the small guy for once.
c) A lot of small people acting together makes one big person. Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups - any sysadmin can tell you this.
d) Once again, I don't know the case in question so I can't comment.
e) Rich people are powerful 'cause they're somewhat rare.
Keep in mind there are always exceptions to the rules... Just like in Windows, there's always exception 0Es.
This is the USA. You have no rights here unless large companies and rich people decide otherwise.
(And don't moderate me down as a troll either. I think it has been demonstrated numerous times that large companies or anyone with enough money can toss your so-called-rights in the s**tcan whenever it suits them.)

Yeah, because if we posted from our logins all you Bush-loving trolls would screw our karma!
It's not our fault you guys are so intolerant!
Yeah, heaven forbid someone disrespect Stallman by not falling into lockstep as ordered.

BECAUSE IT IS THERE.
It was called BSD UNIX.
(Those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it!
VAX is the 32-bit CPU.
VMS is the operating system that ran on it.)

This was done before that by Lum and company, in Urusei Yatsura 2 - Beautiful Dreamer.
