I get this on my analog fm radio now. It's called RDS (Radio Data System). Both my car radio and my table top radio support it.
SCO also announced its first full year of profitability today, reporting $5.3m in net income for its 2003 financial year, which ended 31 October, despite legal fees paid out to wage its Unix copyright fight.
The company would have reported net income of $14.3m for the year had it not reported a charge of nearly $9m to pay law firms involved in the lawsuit and related efforts
I bet the shareholders love the fact that SCO could have almost doubled their profit for the year had they not had those pesky legal fees.
SCO will next file bankrupcy brought on by excessive legal fees and the spiraling out of control cost of printing, and mailing "You better not be doing anything naughty" letters.

Amtrak doesn't own most of those right of ways, the freight railway companies do. That's why you sit for hours (be glad you only sat 30 min - I sat for several hours multiple times on a Chicago to DC train) in the middle of no where. If Amtrak is off schedule, and the freight trains are not then you have a traffic jam on the rails.
That is Amtrak's biggest problem. If they had their own rails on most (all) their routes then they could control timetables, speed, etc. Wait a min, passenger rail used to have that - back in the 1950's before someone thought they could "consolidate" rail services because of the popularity of the automobile......
I have a Pentax K-1000. I've had it since 1989. I works great. One small issue I noticed about a year ago. I was asked to shoot my brother-in-law's wedding, and wanted to get a wide angle zoom (something like 28mm-70mm). For the price of a new 28mm-70mm manual focus Pentax mount lense, I could almost buy a new camera and lens. Also, there were fewer manufacturers and lenses to choose from compared to Nikon, Canon, and Minolta. (Don't get me wrong, I love my K-1000 - I just wish Pentax had more pull in the third party market.)
I ended up buying a Nikon N-80 kit with 2 zooms ( 28mm-70mm and 70mm-300mm both Nikon G series). Yes, it cost more than one lens for the Pentax, but if I had purchased the same lenses for the Pentax I would have spent much more and still have only one body.
In short, look to the future when selecting a camera or you will end up spending lots of money two or three different times.
Maybe instead of "God invented SCO to give people a company to hate more than Microsoft," it should be "Microsoft invested in SCO to divert attention from their Evil(tm) ways."
OK, so what a writer really needs is a generic text editor - formatting the output should not be part of the writing process (unless you are doing an ASCII art type thing). The writer should be worried about paragraph breaks, chapter breaks, etc.
A text editor is a text editor. If you are authoring long works, you want a document processing system - things like LaTEX - things that separate formatting and output from the creative input.
You claim you needed OO with a GUI and support for macros to change margins. What you really needed OO for was a tool that allows you to procrastinate while looking like you are doing something.
The writer should write, the editor should edit, and someone in the publishing side should handle the layout. (Yes, I understand that all these functions may be one person, but the idea is valid and the tasks should be separate.)
Adobe's SVG viewer used to work in Mozilla on Linux, but not it no longer works, in post-0.99 version of Mozilla. Not because Adobe broke it, but because they trusted Mozilla enough to use one of their "unsupported" XP-COM interfaces, which Mozilla changed. [See Mozilla bug number 133567.]"
It all just goes to show you, NEVER, EVER use unsupported interfaces when developing anything that is not considered "throw away" code.
(Or sending "Use a good password" memos around the office, stating that if an organisation like Debian can be compromised by a password, then Joe Average in accounts hasn't got a hope in hell if his password it the cat's name.)
Oh crap! Now I have to change my password. (How'd he know my cat's name anyway?)
Ok, is a fixed length file of fixed length records or variable length records? Are the add/remove/edit functions to be used randomly any where in the file or at fixed locations? How are the add and edit functions to get the new information? What is the OS the system runs on? What are the i/o devices? Why do we want to do this when there are already a variety of programs that do this type of thing?
Come on, the least you could do is completely specify the problem before asking for a solution:-)
I don't want an "Office Suite" shoved down my throat. I want to use the graphing tool I think is best, I want my favorite email app, I want to use the word processor I like, and the spreadsheet I like, etc. I want to be free to try the newest software without converting everything I might need in the future. If the "office productivity programs" all used xml file formats, I could interchange files for one app to the next easily. I would NOT be locked into a single vendor's "suite" or programming HELL.
If the apps were using XML, easy migration would be a given, and programmers could spend time "enhancing" the user interface.

No, it will probablly take longer since the comuter will have to run a special program to zero out the mram before loading the software after a hard reboot.
What about micro kernel based systems? You can port the file system translators (and other "essential" items that manage hardware) from mach to L4. You can run multiple instances of HURD on HURD.
By your argument, there are no operating systems (or everything is an operating system) since everything that runs on a computer system (given enough time and effort) could be ported to another system. Microcode, BIOS, kernel, apps - there is no distinction.
Traditionally, the OS has been the userland experience. The whole CP/M, MS-DOS, Unix, etc. mess with useful utilities is the OS.
Yes you can port an OS to another os and run apps on it. Apple does it with OS X (you can run OS 9 in a window), MS sort of does with a DOS compatability layer in NT/2000, and let us not forget things like the emulators that run old 8 bit computer programs.
To port the kernel to run on another OS, you just have to create an abstraction layer that converts the native systems OS API to something the Linux kernel expects to see. VM Ware does a fine job of this (run Linux in Windows, Windows in Linux, go crazy and run Linux in Windows in Linux).
Take the case of porting a complex application like MS-Word from Windows to another OS. There are lots of supporting libraries (dll's) that have to be ported that rely on other libraries (in other words they rely on OPERATING SYSTEM FUNCTIONS, which may or may not be KERNEL functions).
It is all just code, and code can be made to run where ever, on what ever.
The kernel is traditionally the part that handles memory management, task scheduling, talks to hardware, etc. The OS sits between the kernel and the user and allows the user to create/use useful applications.
"Two known vulnerabilities of which BOTH of them are a non-issue out of the box and are in areas that are rarely used."
Gee, that blaster thing sure did mess up a whole bunch of Windows 2k servers.....
It was by sheer luck that the programmer did not know how to include Win 2k3 in the list of systems to replicate from. From Symantec's website (http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/ven c/data/w32.blaster.worm.html):
"While Windows NT and Windows 2003 Server machines are vulnerable to the aforementioned exploit (if not properly patched), the worm is not coded to replicate to those systems."
The vunerability is there, and will be exploited. You *must* patch a Win 2k3 server out of the box or face possible problems from a copy code script kiddie.
Are you kidding? MS not "regular deadline missers!" I seem to remember a time in the 80's and 90's when MS missed about every public deadline they announced They "revised" the release schedule for *everything*.

I can walk into the local mall and buy a minidisk at Target, Best Buy, and Circuit City.
You used to be able to get DAT recorders at MARS Music (before the chain went bankrupt last summer).
These are just US places. From the minidisc web sites, like MiniDisco it seems the things are even more popular outside the USA.
If Billy and Dubya couldn't get this changed, UbiSoft shouldn't be able to either.
