The reason for using 2 digit years in the first place was because memory and storage were limited and expensive.

I'm guessing you haven't been programming for over 30 years.

The SCADA equipment does not have to be Internet accessible,
it just has to have a corrupted windows box attached to it.

Is this old news still true that to do WPA from Airport you must talk to an Airport base station?

Perhaps dick said that because he's got connections.

The reality is that the terrorists could strike again,
almost anywhere at any time. Why? Because the bush
administration really hasn't done much to protect the
borders, especially shipping. Perhaps on purpose.

superglue and eye-lash adhesive

On: Miniature Tags Track Dragonflies

Since we know superglue only works on stuff you don't want to glue together, and eye-lash adhesive works well on, well, eyelashes, why did they bother with the superglue?

Does the combination of superglue and eye-lash adhesive have magical properties that makes it easy to work with?

Or did the researchers have another study going on to compare the two?

Or, did they only use the superglue on the male dragonflys and the eye-lash adhesive on the female dragonflys?

Can?

This is the problem with priorities in the bush administration. They can find ways to lose billions in Iraq, but can't seem to lose a few million to the people in Afghanistan. I'll bet you, that for a few thousand, they can find some local tech to physically lock up the stuff at night.

Arbitration in Paris

On: SUSE Requests Arbitration with SCO

Actually, it was the correct article when submitted. The one you linked to is the new article on Groklaw, where it is reported that the arbitration will be in Paris.

PJ, with a spot-on comment (my bold):

If you were given a choice between having a GPL-related case heard in Europe in a fast-track arbitration based on clear contracts or let it drag out for year after painful year in Utah, what would you choose? Anyway, someone on Novell's team at some point noticed that the UnitedLinux agreements, which Caldera signed, require such arbitration of certain types of claims, likely even designating the jurisdiction, and once SCO filed its 2nd Amended Complaint alleging that distribution of SUSE Linux was copyright infringement, it opened up the door to this request for arbitration in France.
