That only works if they map everyone else's DNA at the same time. How would they be able to find something that ONLY applies to Tongans and not anyone else? It's like saying that you can only get internet access through the telephone.. which was true until someone actually tried broadcasting it through something else.
..lack of sex had the same effect as sleeplessness apparently does. I wonder if we could get a govt grant to study the varying effects of sleep/sex/caffeine/mexican food on short term memory loss.
about the kid born without eyelids. They surgically replaced them from the skin taken when he was circumsized. Yep! The doc said he'd be fine, but he might end up a little cock-eyed.
Well my first AC Flame of the day. wow. I think to better state my question (considering the topic of the story seemed to be centered on the longevity of the Multics systems), perhaps I should have asked... What are the possibilities for developing a *nix, BeOS whatever system with that type of longevity? Everything *nix wise is booming so fast that some distros are skipping version numbers. And BeOS has gone from "The Multimedia OS of the future" to an IA OS! But now that you mention it.. hmm just imagine.. a beowulf cluster of Multics-based Dr Dos machines, wow.... the SETI data I could process!
Do I vote for GWB so that I can hire unskilled employees for low wages, or Gore so that I can continue to make a living myself?
Either way it's like screwing an ugly chick... She really wants to give ya what ya want, but ya know that you gotta look at her true face sometime!
When's the last time you installed a piece of MS software (warez or otherwise) that didn't pop right up and SHOW you the EULA? It's the first thing you see!
I agree. My day to day machine is a K6-2 500 w/ 96 megs of ram and a 3dLabs Permedia 2 with 4 (yes 4) megs of video memory. Honestly, it sux. I would LOVE to read about something in the range of upper (I suppose it would be the white trash) level of video cards available for my machine.
How about a boot up password that will overwrite sensitive data if given the wrong password more than once, then boot up like normal.. You set it to a certain directory (~/myjunk/secret/*) Whoever has acquired your hardware asumes they have guessed correctly but have lost any chance of finding anything of value.

I'm gonna rush out and get TWO of 'em and yer' all invited over for a massive lan party!! Quake, Duke, Doom, and Descent for everybody!!!

- Crashing Mir into any other planet.
- An alternative to giving MIR a shove with another spacecraft.
- Extra research into the true origin of the fungus.
- A more controlled approach at re-entry to assure that MIR doesn't crash into any 747s.
We should come up with a new proposal for handling the matter and find a way to submit it to the powers that be!I suggest everyone keep an eye on their local dolphin population (if they have one). Controlled descent doesn't seem very reassuring to me!

..for adapting some of this into the *nix world? Or to BeOS? etc.?
All these comments so far and not one Borg reference!
Amazes me that you call yourselves geeks!
Even if you get a majority of the individual votes from actual voters themselves, the electoral vote is what carries you through?
I need an excuse for why there's so little money in my account!

Here's my friggin license!
you should revise that to say that if it ran ANY os... There'd be a lot more people lining up at wally world
for paying $35 for a used 2600 with five whole games.
$15k .. hmmmm... Imagine the system I could build for that! Wanna talk clusters now? Wow PSX2 wouldn't stand a chance
Yes AGP. I really think that there needs to be some improvements in the available Linux drivers. That would probably solve a lot of people's problems.
Actually it's the best damn firewall I've ever had! And a part-time cd burner.

Oh and just for the Record.....
WooHoo!!!!!!!!!
Wow what would you call my P120?
Ya know.. this sort of brought up another point to me.. Consider the M$ Intellimouse..
Ok Ok So it's not a perfect solution, but hell don't you think it's something that could be built upon?
