Roughly 2 trillion American tax dollars spent killing tens of thousands of innocents in an attempt to clobber a single fanatic who committed a crime that could have been easily prevented for a few million dollars in high tech padlocks.
The fact that they sacked this guy is a good indication that he disagrees with the above facts. Powerpoint? Every U.S. citizen should be required to watch the Wikileaks footage on OmniMax with Sensurround.
Proper US governance would put and end to NYC, DC, and LA. Think about it.
Larry Ellison is one of the most contemptuous little pricks I've ever seen at the helm of a major software company. Unlike SCO (new and old) however, Oracle always did actually produce something real.
They say you can use it in conventional cars without a problem. It's a lie. If the fuel system was designed for it and you don't let it sit in the tank for more than a few months, then it's won't hurt anything. But it still doesn't perform as well.
This crap is causing more damage than it's worth in everything from lawnmowers to racecars.
TFS mentions "The Soul of a New Machine". The reason Data General ran a parallel effort was that they needed a product "yesterday" (to compete with VAX). They went to market with the first completed project and did well with it. If they had waited for the other team to cross the finish line the race might already have been lost. Sometimes time is of the essence.
Well, according to some of the best doctors in the U.S., prostate cancer is easily detectable at early onset and existing techniques prolong life closer to ten years.
This sounds like yet another modern-age snake-oil campaign. i.e. murder for profit by big pharma. It's just gonna get worse now that Obama has FORCED us to support them.
I just went thru the 99 numbers on my caller id and none of them gave me any info I needed. Most of my friends block the ID. Scumbags fake it. It costs what, $7/month? I've had it for about 180 months. $1260. Fuck that. I'm canceling.

ACtually, I think IMSAI (think War Games) sold an assembled unit before Commodore. Same for Cromemco and other S-100 "clones". The difference was that the "next gen" machines had Basic in ROM and were "Ready" as soon as you turned them on. I wish I hadn't tossed those early issues of Byte.
I remember going to a computer trade show in '77 and seeing many S-100 machines as well as the Pet, Apple ][, and let's not forget the TRS-80.
IBM and HP also had desktop computers, but they were in a different league. And Xerox had a system called Diablo in the $10k price range complete with 8" floppies and letter-quality printing. They weren't even showing what they had in the skunkworks (PARC).
Nobody called any of them PC's back then. They were microcomputers. As I recall, the term "Personal Computer" started with the, uh PC (IBM/DOS). It scared the hell out of the minicomputer guys to see actual computers selling for less than the price of a CRT.
Anyway, it was the dawn of a new era. I think I'd be happier in the old one.
The slider was especially nasty when the belt was removed from it.
Besides that, there was another "solution" to the passive restraint requirement. Remember the belts that anchored to the door?
The idea was that the occupants could, technically, get in and out without fastening or unfastening the belt. I heard stores about those belts actually ejecting people from the car rather than restraining them.

I always read their willingness to pay differently than you.
1. MS is so freaking huge that it would be stupid to not pay chump change for the "rights" to a major chunk of worldwide computing technology.
2. By paying, they "legitimized" SCO's claims and thereby helped to put a big question mark on the viability of Linux.
3. They were also backdooring money to SCO in furtherance of #2.
You can spin it any way you want but it was never anything more than racketeering by SCO and MS.
Would the technology advance without whiners?

And does any other individual have the ability to spread his lies to 1/3 of the worldwide population? Rupert Murdoch is a fucking menace.
It sounds like this cat needs a watchdog.

No, it's a credit. 100% real dollars.

That book was a great read.

"Citation needed."
ha ha ha, and correct.
From what I've seen, stock car fans/crowds are generally better behaved than those at other major events.
"The start-up is first to market (by definition)"
That's just wrong. A start-up is simply a new company.
Ahhhh... the mammaries.

You're in security and you call bullshit on someone who was saying the things that could have prevented the 9/11 attacks?
You're in a dreamworld.
He did have Bill's ear. The Clinton administration, as much as I detested it, did do a decent job of protecting the U.S. from terrorist threats.
Enter George Bush who wanted us to be attacked. They ignored Mr. Clarke and we all know the results.
The only thing they care about is lining their pockets with the money they steal and extort from us.
No thanks. I'll stick with Charmin.
