Having worked for three retail chains at various points in my career, pricing mistakes are usually of two varieties. First someone at the central office typos a price that is pushed out to the store. The other problem is when the new price is pushed out to the stores, but the communication line is down to a particular store. The new price doesn't register at the store. Twas real fun at one chain I worked for with 1000 stores, and I admin'd that network/pricing system. Think we were successful in communicating to all of them every day? Not hardly. If you notice a pricing mistake, most check out people will correct for it at the register if you point it out, in my experience.
In my case I was called older than dirt on irc, back in the 90s. Now I'm contemplating my retirement:) But no, I am not expert on everything here, but these domain disputes and trademark disputes are a regular topic.
Dang that brings back memories. MPEX was the 3rd or 4th OS I learned. That was back in the early 80s. But the IBM OS's even now have their roots back into at least the 70s, and it's still applicable now. I learned COBOL back in the 70s as the second language I learned, after BASIC. If I wanted to, I could probably still get a decent job doing COBOL now, I would think. Some things don't change enough for it to matter. But I wouldn't want to do COBOL. I always considered it boring after learning assembler.
A few off the top of my head; car registration and renewal notices, bank statements, credit card statements, paper checks for people who don't like direct deposit. Pretty much any organization with thousands or millions of customers (mostly banks, insurance companies, governments, etc.)
I presume this comment reply will get emailed to you. Mine are, but it's a seldom used email box of mine. Anywats, we use 8 IFLs and despite what wikipedia says, our in house hardware experts say they are faster then general ones. And cost less. As far as is it more cost effective? Trust me when I say our organization was under immense pressure to cut costs. Our customers are very happy. Comments will be cut off on this article, and I'm on vacation. But my nick at gmail, and you can email me. Meantime, I'll copy/paste to my work email and give you a more detailed answer if you wish. I'm currently sorta the z/os side, but AIX and HP-UX i the past.
EC12 using IFLs. Also, the SAN is the same drives for servers and the mainframe, EMC. Just the mainframe is way superior for IO. http://mainframe.typepad.com/blog/2006/03/its_the_io_stup.html Also, you can't just install vanilla SUSE Linux on a mainframe. When it was first attempted, performance was dreadfully slow. That's when IBM went, oh, you need to do some tweaks to improve performance.
We run z/os and many Linux servers in virtual machines on a large IBM mainframe. We actually benchmarked performance on the mainframe vs. Wintel servers/clusters and found a huge performance increase on the mainframe. Otherwise, we wouldn't have switched those servers to the mainframe (heavy database usage). There are many web servers on the mainframe, but it's used for more back end work. (It could also run Windows I think I read recently, although I can't see the point). In the same room are hundreds of Wintel servers, and some AIX and HP Unix servers. The mainframe is supported by about 20 people. The servers need about 120 people by my count. TCO is lower for the mainframe, but as has been stated, it's not "sexy", so few people know the mainframe, or want to learn it.

Carly Fiorina might be available to help out MS. And maybe Darl McBride could help out too.
One of George Washington's bodyguards was arrested by civilians, turned over to the military, court-martialed and hung for treason (first time in the USA). He was originally a British Army deserter. http://www.executedtoday.com/2013/06/28/1776-thomas-hickey-plotting-against-george-washington/

ILS was out due to construction. And Korean airlines are notorious for poor training at hand flying landings without aids.

"I went into SFO r28L last week, no glide slope, and no papis visual approach only and the DME doesn't read 0dme at the threshols!
Very easy to undershoot or overshoot without vertical guidance! Espesecially as this crew probably hadn't done a visual approach for a long time! "

Don't be stupid. Impeachment is a political decision, not a criminal matter. And the GOP doesn't have the ability.
As far as I know, there is no official language in the United States.

Likely IBM 4680 or the successor 4690. They brought new meaning to POS.

I actually had better FPS under Wine. A bit of editing config files, but no problemo here.

I'm not an AC. Seattle Times had that story a few years ago. Seems to be true, they fly off the coast for some (all?) contract signings.
