some folks refer to data files as "flat files" or just "sequential files".
ISAM are indexed sequential files (IBM mainframes), which have a table of pointers for the key of the sequential records.
I have not seen VSAM files for a while, but I know that IBM's early databases were built from VSAM files of VSAM files...
but this would have been discouraged for simple math statements as the generated COMPUTE code was less efficient than using the ADD, SUBTRACT, MULTIPLY and DIVIDE statements.
since CICS is online transaction processing software (i.e. handles the multiple users running the same software on servers), not a database, I'll take your opinion with with a pince of salt.
Business buyers don't deal in click-thru EULAs. They get their lawyers to negotiate terms with software suppliers. The more seat licenses you are negotiating for, the better the deal you can get, and it will usually include effective support.
He does not buy companies that are about to go bankrupt, just those that are temporarily undervalued. Your "cheetahs and lions" analogy is false. If it were true, no rich man would be able to walk the streets without a private army in tow - just like the bad old days.
Which is more valuable to society, a low profit company, or an empty building? A worker paying taxes, or a bum claiming benefits?
He is a classic asset stripper, uninterested producing healthy companies, only working for short term profit.
Microsoft would be the kiss of death for Yahoo.
Sure what Icahn does is legal, but it should not be. As long as he and his ilk can make fat campaign contributions, it will likely stay that way.

well I'm still complaining about how they crippled Geocities. They crippled the access to try to bleed money out of the community, then after they destroyed the community they stopped caring, and made their ads more intrusive. If they opened it up again it could still be a useful service, but it has been bypassed by the blogging generation.
Unless you are a Utility company, you are unlikely to need my current employer's product - and much of it is considered "mission critical".
Curious about you email handle - is that PDX,OR? I worked there in the 90s for both Kaiser and Fred Meyer, and they had no complaints about the quality of my work or the turn-around time.
I'm amazed you still have customers. For really subtle low-level bugs, that will affect large parts of the system, ok. For run of the mill bugfixes, a week should be plenty of time.
Unless of course you stuck with some dumb OOPs architecture. In which case all I can say is hahahahaha....
Got to agree, I've been using Photoshop 4 for the best part of a decade - it does everything I need, and does not require the latest and greatest hardware to run. I'm sure you could get ahold of remaindered versions for very reasonable prices.
I've tried the GIMP a few times but found it failing, at least the Windows version. Trying to fill an image surround, it left a fringe at the bottom of the image; when I increased the tolerance by one point, the fill invaded the image at the top.
They put in a bunch of totally extreme proposals, that can then be negotiated out, so that the "less extreme" version can be sold as a compromise. It's a standard political tactic to sweeten a bitter pill.
It's a shame both the mainstream parties sold their souls decades ago, so long ago that most citizens do not realise what was lost. Both parties serve the interests of the corporations who bankroll their election, and rely on bamboozling the voters for their support instead of representing them.
the rest of the world welcomes the US to the 1990's!
Your competing systems seriously held back your adoption of wireless. When I left the states in 2000, hardly anyone I knew had a mobile phone. When I got to Europe, almost everybody had them, even the wrinklies.

Oh come on, most of Carter's dialog was techno-babble! I liked the bit in the making of the 200th episode where Amanda Tapping boasts she can run backwards shooting aliens and spout techno-babble simultaneously : )

glasses have the advantage of being easy to remove. I tried contacts, but found the inability to relax my eyes to irritating.
As for laser surgery, why risk permanently damage for the sake of vanity?

in COBOL you could also say
COMPUTE NEWNUMBER = MYNUMBER + 1
but this would have been discouraged for simple math statements as the generated COMPUTE code was less efficient than using the ADD, SUBTRACT, MULTIPLY and DIVIDE statements.

where corruption is the norm, justice is the first victim
it's a fashion victim tax, similar to the stupidity tax on gambling.

we're talking social vermin here, the kind that would sell their grandmother.

There, fixed that for you.

are you suggesting Firefox originated tabbed browsing? I think you'll find Netcaptor beat them by a few years.
Long live HTML 2! Depose the usurpers!
you may wish to investigate this further before making such sweeping statements. The French have had one in operation since the 60s.
