Back in the 80s, Japan was doing really well, and Japanese companies were well-regarded for taking care of, and being loyal to, their employees. Every "Top 10 Best Companies To Work For" article featured 9 Japanese companies and HP.
Remember when it took two people to move an HP oscilloscope and HP was an even better company to work for than the Japanese? Remember when the HP field service guys would come out to fix your 9000 and they could tell what was wrong with it by the taste of the dust on top of the cabinet? And they could tell you what 6-digit hex error codes meant from memory? What a difference 20 years makes when a great company is handed over to short-sighted idiots.
Exactly. And so, of course, you need a computer (and a UPS) to perform the dead reckoning. No biggie, since we're already postulating super-cooling in a wristwatch form factor.
Sure, "cataclysmic" doesn't belong in an engineering email, but "always", "never", "critical", "serious", "safety", "safety-related", "dangerous" and (best of all, IMO) "problem"? That isn't engineers avoiding hyperbole, that's lawyers avoiding the truth.
They'll drone you when you're trying to be so good
They'll drone you just like they said they would
They'll drone you when you're trying to go home
They'll drone you when you're there all alone
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get droned.
And so, in many many communities, you can either have DSL or you can submit to binding arbitration. Or you can agree to binding arbitration, or you can have last-mile phone service. You decide.

My 16C is still running, 35 years later. Admittedly, I don't use it near as often as I used to.

Almost right. Actually, it's upper management who gets wealthy in the name of "shareholder wealth". But yeah, too bad about the rest of the economy.
Open VMS. Best Oxymoron. Evar.
Next, we'll hear he's patented not selling books on the Internet.
No, no. That's Double Penetration.
Only the EU can issue those, here in 'Murica we think that shit "stifles innovation".
Maybe they work for Adobe?
They could end up on Double-Secret Probation.

Best. UOM. Evar.
Going the way of Kilobaud Microcomputing and Byte or (sadly) Computer Language Magazine.

TFS is complete bullshit. There won't be Linux in 2039 because everyone knows time resets to Jan 1, 1970 in 2038.

So all the big inside players can get their stock orders lined up before the hoi polloi.
Also, they say the capsule is 12 feet in diameter. I would prefer to know the circumference area in micro-hectares.
