Bad networkBoy! Bad!
Even on a local network, rsh and friends aren't quite as pants-around-your-ankles as telnet is; but there's really no excuse for having an Internet-facing machine running telnet in this day and age. ssh exists for a reason, and even that has issues, as we've seen. If you're gonna run old-coot UUCP-era technology, you're gonna get pwned.
Exactly. There's also the whole problem of semantics. It's not a flying killer robot, it's a semi-autonomous aircraft with AI based targeting and fire control. Says so right on the tin.
That was how I came up with the joke in the first place. A fellow-programmer friend and I were on an elevator in a two-story building, talking about how over-engineered the elevator was...
An elevator with the Mac interface would have a single button, "There". After all, I'm already "Here". By all means, let's take that kind of thinking and apply it to several tons of metal with passengers aboard. What could possibly go wrong?
And there isn't a single country on the planet (nor consortium of countries) that could POSSIBLY have "An astronaut wandering the moon next year" -- probably not even in 5 years, even with a MASSIVE multinational effort.
So you're saying that Oracle is a bunch of thieving assholes, their products are a gigantic pain in the ass to run, and their licensing is a mind-boggingly huge rip-off?
Actually, that's a really good point. Apple is simplifying the UI, assuming that everyone is only using (at most) a few tabs, like they would on a phone. It's not unlike the Windows 8 assumption that a single (tablet-style) UI is "good enough" for all environments.
Yeah. Back in the old days (the 80's) we used an oscillator that had a REALLY cheap capacitor at its heart. It had a free running bitstream as input to a shift register.
She most certainly DID NOT call it an "anti-diversity" memo, that was the work of some editor (downstream from Fortune) somewhere, trying to get clicks. Try READING what she wrote.
26% of the mass of the universe is made up of your simplifying assumptions: space is flat and uniform everywhere and everywhen, gravity is constant everywhere and everywhen, the speed of light is constant everywhere and everywhen, the Higgs field isn't really the luminiferous aether with a fancy new name, etc....
So so so much of the Standard Model (and astrophysics in general) starts out like "Given a spherical cow of uniform density at STP...".
We can basically derive ALL of chemistry from first principles involving (protons, neutrons, electrons) (and their charges), electron shell configurations, etc. Does the Standard Model provide an explanation for the mass of the electron, or any of the other 92 empirically derived "constants" that make up the current orthodoxy? Does calling the gap between reality and our understanding of it really benefit from calling it "Dark Matter", or "Dark Energy", or should we just call it "phlogiston"?
I'm not trolling, I'm serious. The Standard Model has lots of (statistical) predictive power, but absolutely no explanitory power -- back to the chemistry example, it's as though we have atomic weights and molar values, but no notion of electron shells -- we can predict, but we can't explain, at least not in a meaningful way -- yet.
There was NO "single instruction block move". If you're describing "djnz" (decrement and jump on non-zero) you're doing an astoundingly poor job of it. The (2 byte) instruction used a single byte 2's compliment PC-relative offset. In other words, you told it "decrement the register, and if the result is non-zero, jump back (or forward) -127 to +128 bytes". Personally, I always thought the 2's compliment part was stupid, as you, in practice, NEVER jumped forward in a djnz loop. They could have implied a negative offset, and allowed you to jump back farther.
And whatever you're babbling about loading and running from tape doesn't make any sense either, as all the JMPs and CALLs were to absolute addresses.
The Extreme Court has ruled several times in the last few years that mandatory binding arbitration clauses are constitutional and enforceable, even overriding state laws to the contrary. Google "binding arbitration supreme court" or "mandatory arbitration clauses in consumer contracts".
Because the lawyers and corporate interests totally wouldn't subvert that. A Constitutional Convention is the Single. Worst. Idea. In. The. Whole. World. If you think individual laws or budgets are cans of worms, a new Constitution is a dumpster full of them. By the time the lawyers and lobbyists were done, the Constitution would be 120,000 impenetrable pages of goodies for the rich and screwings for the other 99%.

Crap, I hope nobody port scans the Kermit server I'm running.
At least until you turn 50.
Nah, it'll still be "Whole Paycheck". $7.00 for 4 avacados? Oh, organic avacados.
Actually, that does a lotta splainin.

Mods completely missing the point.
I found a whole bunch of those antifa faggots here.
What's even more dystopian than that is a world where Ray Kurzweil is taken seriously.

As your attorney, I advise you to tell me where you hid the goddamn mescaline.

STOP THE PRESSES!!!!!

OK, you win the Internets for the day, even if nobody else noticed.
Have you looked at what's coming out of the White House?
Yeah. Back in the old days (the 80's) we used an oscillator that had a REALLY cheap capacitor at its heart. It had a free running bitstream as input to a shift register.
Also, there's no mention of that magnetic anomaly in Tycho crater.

Why yes, Timmy, yes they were.
