I don't have the book at hand, but I think you'll find that in The Talisman, by (as seen in the article) Sir Walter Scott (no relation).

Windows in 2020

That's partially how Judge Jackson was able to define Windows as a monopoly -- he first defined the personal computer market as "computers running Windows" (Apples being something else, apparently), and then found that they all ran Windows (imagine my surprise!).
What if something exciting/interesting happens when you're on the darkside?
A geosync satellite hangs over the same point day and night, so if it's looking at Dayton and something happens in Dayton, it sees it, day or night. If something exciting happens in Tokyo, it's missed.
The GoreSat hangs in such a way as to always face the daylit side of the earth, so if something happens in Dayton or in Tokyo during the day, it sees it. If something happens in either place at night, it misses it.
Neither is more likely to witness cool stuff, although one is more likely to get a visible light image. If satellite imagery were primarily shot with Instamatics, that would be a serious issue, but since they have a fair selection of rader, UV, IR and God knows what else, I'm not too worried about that.
On 9x you can just press esc to get passed someones password.
You're making it sound both better and worse than it is.
The bad news is that 9x essentially has no local security. The good news is that all you've bypassed is the desktop settings, which are just a convenience thing anyway, and you can use the local machine.
I'm still trying to figure out the "sadly untypical security flaw". Should we have hoped for more such flaws, or is this guy unable to proofread his copy?
And while we're at it, where did he get the idea that "the owners were never aware that Microsoft software had turned their computer into a server in the first place"? Win2k installs IIS by default, it's true, but the majority of the IIS servers out there are NT4, and the Option Pack must be explicitly installed.
And this is terrific logic: "We welcome their presence, in fact, because they keep our immune system constantly on its toes, ready for any real invaders." Yeah, if it weren't for thieves testing our locks, we wouldn't have locks good enough to protect us from thieves. I think I'll do him a favour and drive by his house every day and break a window, thereby encouraging him to get better windows -- just 'cause I'm such a nice guy.
All of which probably had a lot to do with the fact that Scuds are not airplanes, the targets for which Patriots were designed. Ballistic trajectories have been atypical for attacking aircraft (since 1945, anyway).
In fact, I would expect that a plane aimed straight for the ground from high altitude would generally be classified as already-killed-no-show-here-next-target-please.
Well, yes and no. If your only copy is pirated, then you're not a customer, but I'd guess that mixed environments are more typical. The Federal government, for instance, buys thousands of copies of Microsoft products every year, but I have no doubt that there is at least one bootleg somewhere around (probably a copy of Bob).
Record ratings. Granted that Tipper Gore may not be exactly Jane Schmoe, but in fact that distasteful idea came from ordinary book-burners-in-the-street, not the record labels.
Fact is that all the money in the world won't keep a pol in office unless people vote for him, and there's more to that than paying for advertising. This is why Ross Perot never became President and Bill Gates never will.
MSN does the same thing -- I've had to configure email for some of our clients who run mail through our servers but dialup through MSN. You can still send as yourself -- you don't have to send as "@msn.com"
However, the point to remember is that either of these approaches works. It's only if Verizon does BOTH that there will be a problem.
How many people work at Microsoft? I always thought "billg" addresses were great for companies with six employees, but M'soft must have dozens of Bill Gundersons, Bill Gidowskies, and Bill Goats. I'd want something useful, like Bill.Gates
Ah, but it does work. If I buy a Chevrolet part and and it doesn't fit my Ford, is it a defective part?
I would wager that it says on the box that the scanner is designed to work with Windows. It might even say that it works with the Mac OS. I really doubt, however, that it claims Linux support, and I don't think it's reasonable to presume that such exists.
It would be just as reasonable to "return" Linux, since it doesn't work with the scanner, as it would be to return the scanner because it doesn't work with Linux.
The funny bit was GM claiming that they'd never heard of Beretta, that the name came from a computer program that randomly generated names. Apparently nobody in all of GM owns a gun or has ever heard of Robert Blake.
Yeah, I sure have, and I like the idea a lot. Best of both worlds, it looks like, and a sensibly-designed casing.That's how a portable medium should look -- rugged, cheap, and recordable.Why has adoption been so slow (besides me)?
Good point. On the other hand, as a fellow commuter commented to me recently, "For God's sake quit fiddling with the damned stereo and watch the road you idiot!!":)
Of course, I'm one of those, "they recorded an album so I'll play an album -- if I wanted singles I'd listen to the radio" pricks.
I haven't had a CD that was so scratched that it was unplayable
God bless you -- you and I may be the only two people in North America who understand "careful". I, on the other hand, have children.
I'm not sure that the cost comparison is quite right as it stands. Drop the cdr six or eight times, then drop the cassette the same number of times. See what I mean?
Had CD's been sensibly designed, with some sort of carrier, then they might have been nearly perfect. As it is, they are terrific home media, just like records.
Slashdot Mirror
I think that might stop a bar dispute right there (of course, the big ol' sword probably helps too).

I've gotta' ask: what scientific method do you know for improving personal karma?
After all, 9x has no access control to compromise, except for network shares.
The bad news is that 9x essentially has no local security. The good news is that all you've bypassed is the desktop settings, which are just a convenience thing anyway, and you can use the local machine.
The network password isn't bypassed that way.
Yes, and it would be especially funny if, like Robert T. Morris Jr. before you, you weren't quite as smart as you thought.
I prefer the thing I've heard pool players say. It's a combination shot, so they "combinate".

They describe it in broad terms, but it boils down to log entries and unique source IP's.

And of course, some people have found controversy even in the kids' programming.
Maybe they could work up something with that hand-cranked Web server from the other day...
