Trivia: Ensoniq was the company started by Bob Yannes, designer of the Commodore SID silicon. Yannes would have had a direct hand in the design of any further Ensoniq silicon.
Snus is a fairly benign packaging of tobacco which is becoming popular with dip users in the USA. I managed to stop smoking within a week of taking up snus, after smoking for 25 years. But for some reason I can only get snus from its native Sweden and the US, I have to import it to Australia and this goes for most of the world.
You'd think that snus would be a win/win for tobacco companies, health organizations, government taxation and users, so I don't know what the problem is. For any dippers or smokers out there I strongly recommend snus.
I can't play driving games with the external view for the life of me. I never picked up Forza2 for this reason. But as soon as I have a cockpit view I can play perfectly.
As a long time Sun admin, I find a lot of Sun's whiz-bang stuff to be of questionable trustworthiness, especially the storage solutions. As for Solaris, the only thing of real value in the past decade has been the excellent zone VM system, other than that I don't go too far past how I used to configure Solaris 2.6.
So does anyone know what Raeto West went on to? I had Programming the Pet-CBM and Programming the Vic20, predecessors to the book in the article, and they were probably the most authoratitive sources for those systems. Rae also had the excellent "Dear Rae" column in CCI magazine.
But unlike the esteemed Jim Butterfield, Rae sort of disappeared from the scene. A real shame.
Commodore originally licensed BASIC from Microsoft. They wrangled some deal which gave them full rights with a one-off payment. MS eventually felt hard done by and you see the Microsoft copyright message on the c128 boot screen.
If you're going to have services open to the Internet without IP restricions, expect millions of random connections. Just use ssh-key authentication, disable password over ssh and forget about it.
The best I used was on the SinclairQL; beautiful and almost Pascal like, you could create advanced programs without much effort. But the real beauty of BASIC was on the 8-bit systems, really sucky dialects like Commodore basic 2 made you hit the hardware to do anything meaningful so it was a short step to assembly.
A good environment for tinkering with basic is the ZX Spectrum emulator BASin. It has advanced tools for coding and debugging, as well as creating assets for games etc. Sinclair basic really is one of the nicest around with plenty of good doco.
X-Plane is a beautiful piece of software and even the generic terrain is great. And now that MSFS is defunct, scenery designers pretty much have no choice but to work for X-Plane in the longer term.
Lack of real landmark scenery can be a pain for VFR navigation, but then again it's a good way to get in tune with the panel if you want to land.
Don't forget the Spartan raison d'etre was to smash the rebellious colonies, years prior to the Covenant threat. The horrific Spartan backstory along with the internal Covenant politics makes for an overall more interesting story.
That's even worse; user opens the malware PDF which contains JS, Adobe reader moans that JS is diabled and the document is screwed without it, user enables JS. Very poor.
You should always assume that someone's reading your email and operate accordingly. It only takes one accidental or indiscretionate forward or address typo to cause havoc.
That's a good point and illustrates the advantage of free software from a user perspective. Users are spending money to get the features they need and lose nothing by those features being available to others gratis, especially when other's input is reciprocal.

No tape backup means no backup in my book.

Didn't gOS operate like this too? It was the OS shipped on the Walmart PCs.

I bought a 360 for games too but keep my PC updated to run X-plane, which has a Linux native port.

Thankfully octal and hex are easy to regexp in squid. All hail Squid!
That's why it's important to limit user account access and keep internal hosts patched and hardened.
Good firewalls like OpenBSD PF let you query the match count of rules, handy for optimizing rulesets and clearing out unused rules.
Chances are you are matching your FTP traffic in anther rule. Check the order of:
anchor "ftp-proxy/*"
Make sure it doesn't have a quick rule before or a block rule after which would match it.

You're obviously not running OpenBSD firewalls. ;)

Just call it "DERP QUEST" and change the names.
If long-term usage was that important, you'd be using Solaris in the first place.

I understood your point just fine, your perspective is incorrect as this whole topic points out reciprocal commercial development is a success.

I agree, OpenBSD seems to have bottomless performance in my installations and the configuration is so easy.
