More likely the CEO is the guy who presided over the company's biggest ever loss, yet still "earns" a multi-million bonus.
Alternatively, he's just "lost" $4 billion somewhere and needs to save some cash - it's never the people at the top who get the bullet, have you noticed that?
(Sick) Sweepstake time... which of the WorldCom guys is going to do the decent thing and follow the Enron example?
Arthur C Clarke came up with exactly the same plot device for 3001 (in this case the Hal/Bowman entity uploading several viruses to disable the Monolith), so it can't be that dumb an idea...
Emulating a 68K Amiga or Mac (at like 8Mhz) only takes a 400Mhz processor to perform decently
Full speed Atari ST emulation (68k @ 8MHz) has been possible for almost 10 years using "only" a 486/33 (or 486/50), so where does the 400MHz figure come from?
Second generation emulators (Optimized, dynamic recompilation, all other buzz words, etc) require something in the rage of 10 times more powerful
The later versions I have clocked at an equivalent of a 1GHz 68k on "only" a 1.2GHz Athlon.
And yes, I know Darek can be an obnoxious little **** most of the time, and that his rep is even worse than Jim Drew as far as the Mac emulation community is concerned, but for my (simple) purposes Gemulator works fine, and you must admit he has pushed the boundaries like no-one else as far as I can tell (though I wouldn't mind being proved wrong)
I'd reread the original post again if I were you -.ac.uk is a university account.
As for pricing, I guess the usual $1=£1 rule that we in the UK have to suffer applies even here (£35 for boxed SuSe Personal 7.3 [about $50 at current rates], though I guess the discs only will cost less)
I used to work at the Queen Elizabeth hospital in Birmingham (UK) on their Laboratory system software. We wrote a rule-based system for the Liver Unit, which I labelled LUMPS (for Liver Unit Management Protocol System)
The name stuck... and when the Renal Unit wanted a similar system, LUMPS begat RUMPS.
At the time I left there was also talk of a system for the Maternity Unit - no prizes for guessing the acronym - but I don't think it never got used (the negative disease link probably didn't help), which was a shame because it also happened to be the name of the language the system was written in...
According to The Register, the whole thing was just a scam-some-cash scheme by Crayon, aided by some lawyer with a bit of a reputation for this sort of thing...

Especially if you take into account the fact that it has been around for 6 (or 7) years (or thereabouts) in one form or another, so it's no flash-in-the-pan dot com out to make a quick buck.
Not bad for a site originally hosted on a pretty basic RS6000 lent to Dave (Stanworth)'s employer by IBM for research purposes, but never destined to do any actual work (at least it hadn't when I was last there) - how Dave got away with it I'll never know!
For me it has to be Centaur... sort of a first love thing. I guess I spent my first two years at Uni on it pretty much solidly, till they took it away.
Nothing else really ever came close, though T2 gets an honourable mention (my wife's favourite)

What gets me is that it has only been a couple of years since the embracing of Linux - how did this decision get through the bureaucracy so quickly?
And you, sir, can't spot a blatant joke post...
Thought that was England/Britain

Technically accurate, but nowhere near as funny...
When it comes down to it, you have to try them all, and use what feels best for you
And the Spanish Inquisition were just a bunch of good-ole-boys...?
Last time I tried that VMWare realised what I was doing and wouldn't let me - has that now changed?
The basic premise is still the same - a mechanism was found to implant viral code into the enemy system.
I think you'll find that even Jeff Goldblum would have had trouble getting inside a Monolith!

Depends on how green the wads of paper are, I'd have thought - the bigger the wad, the better!

Anyone know of an ad-blocker for the ad-in-story as used by cnet (and others)?
I even admit i bought *a* budweiser after seeing that as well
You did what???? Why on Earth would that pile of **** make you buy anything, let alone beer????
All that did was make me even LESS likely to buy B*d - give me the real (Czech) Budweiser any day.
I take it this is already registered...

Funny... I'm running 5.5 on 95 and I'm still getting the "Don't need this" message...
