The corporate world has already found a solution to this.
For custom software, the contract should cover the bankruptcy of the developer. If they go under, you get the source. A similar arrangement could be made for ASPs. If one goes under, you get the DAT tapes.
Yes on both counts. The SGI PCs used a version of ARC for booting, which is what their MIPS computers used. The bus system for SGIs is/was XIO and it peaks at 2.1GB/s.
Actually, there's many reasons to fear the US government. Over 10 major wars, the CIA's attempts to overthrow democratically elected foreign governments in Latin America, the DEA, the NSA, attempted assasination of foreign leaders (Castro), and a human rights record comparable to Islamic nations.
Why doesn't anyone ever bring up Switzerland
(every male over the age of 18 is *required* to have a gun, and there are little or no shootings)? That's for Swiss Army soldiers(pretty much every male). They're also forbidden to use it except in combat or training. John McPhee wrote an excellent book on the Swiss Army called La Place de la Concorde Suisse Aren't there other developed countries that have high gun ownership besides the US? None that have anywhere near the number of firearms as the US. I suppose Lebanon and Afghanistan - but neither is really civilized. FWIW, I live in the US and am an NRA supporter.
I've been designing a new windowing system for Linux. Any suggestions for how to integrate console support or features I should add would be appreciated.
This is an obvious troll, and repeats the tired old myth that only people with something to hide need to use encryption.
The security of the RSA algorithm is based around factoring of large prime numbers. Unless a faster method of factoring is developed (e.g. quantum computers) RSA (the algorithm) is safe.
The main vulnerabilities with RSA are implementation-specific: short passwords, keystroke recording, etc. That's why an open-source implementation is desirable. I'll give a meatspace analogy. Which would you choose - a lock that you have the blueprints for and hackers worldwide can't crack or a lock a martektroid assures you is secure.
It wasn't a voluntary name change. There was a lawsuit. Anderson Consulting took Arthur Anderson Co. to court and lost(they had both split off from the original Anderson Consulting). As part of the judge's ruling, they lost their right to the Anderson name.
I don't feel that the UN has any business censoring the Internet to protect us from ourselves. The act of suppression merely encourages the spread of ideas and gives them strength. In the United States, it is not the business of the government to restrict free speech or legislate morality. By doing so, the UN would be deciding for the people what they should see and influencing their actions. In essence, what they are saying is "individuals are not capable of making up their own minds; we'll have to do it for them." Bigotry and racism are problems today, but government intervention is not the answer.

You're partially correct. Openstep for Mach was the x86 native release. There were others for Solaris, HP-UX, and Windows NT.
386. The Linux kernel requires protected mode.

In 2 words, you're wrong.

A Google search found this site. It lists all the commands and has an ASCII drawing of the display.
