So THAT'S what that was. The gentleman who delevered the newspaper to house where I spent my teen years was older, Jewish, and had little blue numbers tattooed on his wrist. Maybe he was involved in an early version of this sort of thing?
Seriously, whether it's companies, the Fourth Reich, or parents tattooing their children "for safety", I find it to be disgusting. It's just one step closer to slavery.
Pretty simple, actually. Open up your Sunday paper, pull out a pencil and start drawing. Soon Charlie Brown, Lucy, Snoopy and all the others will have PCs with our favorite Penguin on them.
Happy birthday and congrats to the hackers whose labor pains keep giving us new tarballs.
So if producing a Linux kernel feels like childbirth, what do Windows developers feel? Intestinal cramps like someone dumped a whole pack of laxatives into their chocolate shake?
Looks to be an interesting project, although since they require registration to download stuff, I'll never know.
C'mon, Taco. These things would probably make a kick-ass MP3 jukebox. They'll sit right by the stereo and use a remote with more buttons than a Macintosh's mouse.
Well, that's probably why they are having problems reading the information back, as mentionad farther on in the article. If MIT and HP cannot figure the difference between bits and bytes, then they are simply providing a demonstration of the adage, "Crap in, crap out".
On the other hand, the "article-typer" probably heard the words "quantum" and "qubit" and decided to write an article. His research probably consisted of noticing that his 56 kilobit modem was getting transfer rates of ~5 kilobytes on Win9x reported connection of ~40kps, and deduced that bits are bigger than bytes.
Following this, he decided that he was an Authority (search for False Authority on/. when the indexes have been rebuilt) on conned a PHB editor with a deluge of buzzwords into letting him publicy insert his foot into his mouth.
I can only give you a ballpark, but my 486DX2-100, running MS-DOS 6.2 + Win3.1, my P5-166 MMX running RedHat 6.2 and my P5-200MMX running Win9x all perform at about the same level when it comes to holding open doors.
And, as a plus, the new messaging could be jazzed a little. When one of your comments is moderated as a troll, the notification should automatically redirect you to The Amish Rake Fight, just to let you know the general feeling about you.
Will we hear about Cisco chicks, rebooting to erase critical logs and the death of a nearby star system (not neccesarily in that order)?
Will any and all posts asking for the truth, or pointing out that the narrative of events is on it's fifth unique revision be moderated down lower than a hot-grits-toting, petrified Natalie Portman visit to goatse post?

I have to wonder why anyone without Pointy Hair would consider purchasing one.
Pop-Tarts. You don't even have to get up to toast 'em. CPU pastries are the 21st century's version of "engine block eggs".

What's so special about a "404 File Not Found" error?
That and using chili sauce for cleaning is the way of the future. The ISS team is halfway there.
"Duck Tape" is a brand name of duct tape. Either Ace Hardware or Powes carries it here in Indy.

There's an award for "A Sleazier Piece of Crap Than Temptation Island?"

--- What parts of "shall make no law", "shall not be infringed", and "shall not be violated" don't you understand?
All the words starting with "n", apparently.
Doesn't matter which OS to Taco, just as long as it makes a killer MP3 jukebox and has many, many mouse buttons.
What would a true government programm be if it didn't involve standing in a line?
They could be bent backwards over a porkbarrel while an emotionless IRS agent picks through their wallets.
You know the kind of letters people write:
"Dear Somebody-you-never-heard-of,
How are you? I am fine. Blah-blah-blah, blah-blah, blah-blah.
Yours Truly,
Some Bozo."
Big deal.

@Home hosts the AT&T Small Business Hosting division as well.
PARC came from the folks at Xerox, IIRC.
Don't forget MS BSD/NeXT/PARC/Mosaic/Windows 2000: Built on NT(OS/2 & VMS) Technology
...rename itself to the Canberra GNU/Linux Users Group. This did not go down well.
But then you could call yourselves "C-GLUG", and make beer a staple part of your group.
You could tell us how Red Hat is based on Mandrake, as well.
IANAL, but that sounds suspiciously like harrassment.

No, it's a door-stop, but it still doesn't journal.

Inquiring minds want to know!
Fly, my little Flying Lawyer Monkeys, fly!
Going by Microsoft's track record, they'll probably work as well as C. M. Burns' monkeys.
Eee, EEEE, Thud!
Bill: Continue the research.
