There are many many companies making small single board computers. Here's one example from the Circuit Cellar ads. (Yes, it runs X-Linux.) You have to slap it in a case with drive and power supply, but that's not a major Grail Quest. If it doesn't suit your computing power requirements, shop around somewhere else. (If you don't need horsepower, you can also make tradeoff and go smaller.)
CLAUDE: I'd like to point out that this tape has not been tampered with or edited in any way. It even has a timecode on it, and those are very hard to fake.
JUDGE: For the benefit of the court, would you please explain "timecode"?
CLAUDE: Just because I don't know what it is... doesn't mean I'm lying.
Namco officials said video arcade games were considered a big hit if the number of arcade machines reached about 1,000.
I don't think that 1,000 was a very big number for the industry at the time, even if they were selling whole machines and not just board/graphics kits. Of course, 1,000 might have been a big number before Pac-Man...
That's probably only counting the offical units. There were huge numbers of knock-off copies of the game. Quite a number of the initial court cases establishing that copyright applies to software in ROMs involved Pac-Man (and Apple ][ knock-offs).
There are exceptions, but it's nice if your professor can speak English.
Think of it as experience that will be invaluable later on in life with your H1B co-workers. Besides, perhaps Prof Owen Astrachan could keep his job if he was willing to retro-adjust his expectations to match the normalized market for renumeration of academic sock-puppets acting for business interests.:)
Perhaps the problem with declining enrolement is that the courses are too expensive for students to take a chance in a changable market. I modestly propose a solution to this:
Universities could cut their costs drastically if allowed to fire expensive tenured professors (like Prof Owen Astrachan), and bring in excellent but far cheaper educators on H1B visas from India and other countries. This would allow them to remain competitive and thrive in todays global education market.
Prof Owen Astrachan and his ilk might selfishly object to this proposal, but they have to understand that the world doesn't owe them an overpaid living, and after lifestyle adjustments, I'm sure he'll be able to pick up work teaching at the local Ace TechTrain! franchise.
There is always a certain amount of due diligence stuff in any filing or prospectus, but the amount of CYA is increasing and getting gloomier. Normally you don't put that "some Linux companies may sue us" or "the regulators may take action" unless you had been all but served with the papers.
Normally this stuff is buried behind the good news or even the invented news, but SCO can't even manage that. Hahahahaha!
If we ever have time travel, we can hit the guy's grandfather with a rock. (Probably more certain to hit his grandmother with a rock, but come on, you'd never get funding for that.)
At one time I was going to do a Toronto Spam Tour and put up pictures of the places of various spammers around Toronto. I never got around to it, and a lot of them seemed to vanish over the last few years. I suspect that's stealth for some of them. e.g. it's been years since I received a spam that lead back to Dynamic Pipe/ Pythonvideo / Webfinity / Web Krew, but I have no doubt at all that they haven't stopped spamming.
The Spam Tour site would be a nice match with this one.
How can opting in to one list opt me in for any others? I hope their proposal covers that opt-in lists can't be sold to third parties giving hand-me-down permission. (Because you'll never be able to opt-out from all the lists generated from the list that you did opt-in for.)
Also, if the fourth list in the chain knows the details of my signup to the first list, that information is useless because almost everyone now has that information.
That cane is probably used for carefully probing the ground so he doesn't become a Spread All Over The Landscape soldier. I did notice the ones with cigarettes. Don't they know that's dangerous?
It's certainly not the grand canyon, but it's also nothing to shake a stick at.
Why? Are there laws against it?
I wonder if I could get funding to go on a world tour, shaking a stick at monuments and natural wonders? "Hey Palo Duro Canyon, shake shake, I'm shaking a stick at you! What are you going to do about it eh? shake shake Look at me, I'm shaking! I'm shaking!" (I'll check for Sarlacc-type tongues first.)

Does that apply to operating systems too...?

Yeah, I blame the MPAA for Phantom Menace distribution!

Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer. (But only if they shower on a regular basis!)

Later that day, Mars Odyssey filed a restraining order against Mars Global Surveyor with claims of stalking.
Obviously Mars Odyssey was using the Picard maneuver.
What part of "all but served" are you having difficulty reading?

That'll just fuel rock-paper-scissors escalation!

How about if I attach these shoes to the alarm clock that runs away and hides?
Terminating zombie children isn't unknown in the Unix world.

Relatively non-litigious doesn't mean completely non-litigious. Canada is less litigious than the next guy, but the next guy is the United States!

I swear that this one gets just a little faster each loop. Nasty trickses!

Shh! Don't tell the broadcast industry. The next time they cancel a <sci-fi> series, they'll claim it's very zen.
