Snow Hall isn't big enough for this, IIRC. Well, actually, it is, but it's got so much other stuff (it's the main exhibition hall, cafeteria, etc...) that I don't think it has room for this stuff.
The USOC is a quasi-governmental entity (the athletes allegedly represent the whole country), so wouldn't it be possible to sue the USOC for First Amendment violations?
Yep. We used to use that to blackmail them. All in good fun, of course.

Anybody out there ever been involved in a successful software project, much less outsourced one, where everybody was happy at the end of the day/me raises his hand
I was on a project where EVERYTHING WENT RIGHT! The hardware guys talked to us software guys to find out what we needed, they told us what was and wasn't reasonable (AND WHY!!!), delivered decent docs.
The hardware worked as advertised, the software work - port of about 250K lines of C code from Z8000 to 68K -- worked fine, and the project was finished on time and under budget, and went on to become one of the unsung success stories of the first Gulf War.
Of course, right after that, we started the project from hell. The exact opposite. Buggy hardware, buggy development tools (anyone remember the i486SL and its shitty ICE?). Project wound up being incredibly late and flaky.
I used to work in a closed lab (clearance and access list required, or escorted only).
Anyways, to make a long story short, the president of the company came by for a tour, and was challenged by my officemate, since he wasn't on the list, and didn't have an escort.
Then there's the "only ticketed passengers allowed past security". HELLO! The 9/11 guys had tickets!
I guess, though, that it's a QoS issue. If there's a 3 hour backup with ticket passengers only, it would be 6 hours if they let anyone into the terminal...
The K6 used the Pentium bus. It was a drop-in replacement. Aanyone remember the Shuttle HOT-569 with the i430TX chipset? Mine has a K6-2 sitting in its little Socket 7.
The K7 aka Athlon did use the EV6 bus. I never understood why nobody made an Athlon=>Alpha shim board to run to run an K7 in an Alpha EV6 box or vice versa.
I've worked in the defense industry for 20 years. And they don't just want someone to blame, they want someone who will stand behind and fix their software.
If my company had tried to deliver code "AS-IS" with security holes as big as MS did, we'd have wound up in Leavenworth.
The real reason they chose MS in regards to security, is that when something goes wrong, they can blame MS
Have you ever read the fucking EULA on any MS product? They don't even promise it will do what is advertised. All software is shipped AS-IS, and if it fucks you over, tough shit.

Assume I'm an athlete. Assume my (one and only) event is on day 1 (13 August). I'm not allowed to blog for the rest of the Olypmics?
Or was that Knox Hall? Crud, I can't remember... been too long!

I don't need no instructions to know how to rock!!!!
Damn straight, becase as we all know, "There's only one way to rock!"*

Much as I think the Mustang is a great car, that's a frightening thought.

My officemate got a commendation for it.

Infiniband uses a variant of IPv6 for addressing, and I believe the protocol is IPv6 based (It's been a few years since I looked at IB).
I don't need regex. I'll use fgreplaw.
I'm about 16000 feet from the CO, and get about 768K downstream.
AMD used the EV6 bus in the K6-K7 processors.

I thought Itanium was based on PA-RISC and VLIW tech?
There may have been a few patents infringed, but the Itanic was not based on Alpha.

I did RTFA, and all I saw was an admission that BA Partners belongs in circle 3 (gluttons).
Where does everyone else belong, especially Gator, Bonzi Buddy, and their friends?

No, it sounds more like "Ministry for State Security" aka KGB.

Great. Now you'll have the MPAA, RIAA, and the BSA opposing this research! "It could lead to piracy in space!"
