If you are a licensed Professional Engineer (PE) in the state of Texas, you can be held liable for any damages on a project. That was the reference to the 1937 project.
If a company doesn't hire any P.Engs, are they liable? (Disregarding situations where they have to hire P.Engs.)
If they discover interesting patterns in prime numbers, this could affect the t-shirt industry. Remember what happened when fractals became popular!:^P
I'm not sure how they could speed up my access to 127.0.0.1. I'm tempted to redirect those requests to my Linux box and have it serve up cute cat pictures. (Are there any other kind?)
We were a Microsoft shop. I had a minor Borland dispensation. I exceeded it.
We were summoned to the Project Manager's office. Cool possible future project, important. IBM 3870 telnet plug in for product. Side-project. Okay. Dismissed.
One quick search, yanked down a 3870.OCX, import, add our plug-in interfaces, slap some code. Elapsed time less than 30 minutes. Win battle, lose war.
Let's not agrue about stupid ancient topics like was Latin or Greek the "High" language of the church ("civilization"), let's argue about modern, relevant topics like the Great Vowel Shift!
Many Bwitons don't speak Enwlish properwy! (And on spelling, the Americans weren't always wrong either.)
Precicely! They don't give a damn about a few hardware hackers. It's the shops that sell (unmarked) over-clocked machines to people. Intel loses on the sales, and then gets bad PR if the chip fries in a few months. (I don't know why the really cheesy places even bother to overclock. Just hack the BIOS to misreport the speed, and most people will never know.)
Glad to see I'm not the only nutty dude keeping one around.
I've still got his 8080A/8085 Assembly Language Programming book. Hell, I've still got the computer. My first one, soldered from kit. I really should pitch it, but *sob*, I just can't!
Things were a lot slacker back in those days, and it was "Quick and Dirty DOS". How is one guy going to do cleanroom reverse engineering? I suspect that a lot the code was initially just cross-assembled from the CP/M code. If that was still true by the time it became PC-DOS, dunno.
I had to drag out my Microsystems (CP/M & S-100 journal) magazines. What a trip down memory lane!

Wouldn't a salmonella burger be an Evil Bit? (Or would that need a full byte?)
but just wait until someone puts theirs on the net and gets their burger slashdotted!
Sure you can kill Godzilla. Godzilla vs Destroyer/a and the original, of course. Honest to god, there's a shrine in Tokyo where he finally fell. (Too busy to find a link.)
That's been a problem with Apples from almost the begining. Some snake sent this woman a packet with the evil bit set, and it snowballed from there.
Oh sure, turn their servers into slag!
True, you have to work in a guild system under another P.Eng for a few years.
You need to have done at least 4 years in engineering courses in a reconized University. You are member of a professionnal order...
Not quite. In Quebec, university degrees are shorter due to the CEGEP system. Why are we endorsing guilds? Didn't they go out with middleages?
Could these guys use a spell-checker on their site? These people might be engineers, but they are certainly not software designers.

Oh just great! Think of all the spam for these I'm going to get next xmas!
I doubt that it qualifies as a metaphor. Probably not even a simile. A drive-by snorting?

I think it's more the accountants: If those messages had been deliverable, we could have made much money!
You bothered to look it up? We're a lighthouse, your call.

You haven't read the addendum to rfc1149 have you?

There'll be no escape for Davros this time!

If you look at the diagram, there seem to be max and min limits. (Hard to say what it does then, speed up?)
They're probably already talking on their cell phone while running lights.

Not to mention the legacy method of doing OS calls with a call 3. (Small model at least. It's been a long time, thank $DEITY!)
Like a million voices suddenly cried out in agony and were silenced. "D'OH!"
