IBM didnt patch EOL versions of AIX, but at least told you you need to modify the TZ value in/etc/environments then reboot before the change and gave the information to everyone (including the values to be added).
IBM somehow managed to not charge people for AIX updates, and the versions they did not patch just need an update to the TZ variable in/etc/environments.
I'd hardly call a change to date/time innocuous (especially when in a environment where financial transactions happen). On the matter you mention, Java also has DST updates if you happen to be using certain calandaring and other functions.
While he may have some "unique" ideas about port/network issues. There is nothing scammy, false, or fake about Spinrite.
Get yourself some old MFM or RLL hardware and compare the fun of Debug (Western Digital controler) G=C800:5 and the ease of spinrite. Keep in mind Spinwrite does not wipe your data.
I was with you till that last line. Then you just went into some strange alternate reality.
The Deskstars (or deathstars as some people call them) that were prone to failure were a single model number (out of 6-7) I have purchased and used plenty of them from around that time and all I did was make sure to get the model that was not flawed and they still (6 years later roughly) are running. They see 24/7 operation with few power cycles.
Much like you first comment, not all IBM drives were evil data eaters, and people constantly harping on a single models failure and applying that to all drives from them for years after the issue was resolved, IMO is not fair (weather it's seagate or IBM, or anyone else).
I purchased 2 Seagate 320GB SATA drives and had them in service for 6 months before one of them started re-allocating sectors and ran out of extras to do that(in less time then it took to notice the issue). I returned it and the replacement has survived the stress test. It could still fail in 6 months, but I dont paint Seagate as having nothing but unreliable drives for all eternity.
The last one made, has good multiplayer modes, and is not a railshooter/guncon game like the older arcade ones. Check it out, you might not like it still, but it is not ust a new version of the Aerosmith game.
The problem you had with your Hydra was that the PS2 when it is "off" is just in standby mode and seems to ground out the audio lines (or something). If you reach around to the back of the PS2 and flick the real power switch, you will get full audio from the Xbox. This appears to only be a problem with the PS2 (out of all the consoles I have) but I do not have any of the current generation machines.
If you are using a multi-console cable (Xbox&PS2 on one end, Component on the other) because you don't want to have to plug things in/out of the TV all the time, the PS2 standby mode is annoying. It causes a constant "null" signal to run out of the audio cables. This kills any audio signals from the other console hooked to the cable. so you can spend time trouble shooting your receiver if someone forgets to flip the hard power off on the PS2. Also cutting power to the PS2 causes the clock to go to default. Not having RTC battery or network timesync sucks.

There was also a story involving a clone and the High Evolutionary.

So cover my car in diffraction grating first?

I smell a patent for medicinal use of rectally inserted gerbils to improve vision.
What we need is a Shodan office assistant.
"Would you like help with your resume you pathetic creature of meat and bone."
I think it would be a good companion to the HK-47 and Marvin (the android) office assistants.
Capcom's "Glass Rose" was not released in the USA. There is an audience for games like it.
Because for many years I thought "Horse with no name" was a Neil Young song?
You might want to check recent news about backwards compatability on the european PS3.

There was an official patch that removed Starforce. I know that means you have to let it in once before you can banish it.
I so wish I had mod points.
Thanks for the laugh.
Saturn Computers in Columbus, OH?
I believe this will infringe on the Trace Buster (TM) patents.
Sony TVs (At least my 36" 16:9 HD Tube) uses a version of Linux. TV taked 5 seconds to boot. Has a GPL license pack in with the manuals.
There are monster network cables.
The final sign is when monster starts selling wireless ethernet cables.

At work, with a Pro license (not corporate), they added 512MB ram to my desktop and when it came back up, it demanded to be re-activated.

My calculator just says "A Suffusion of Yellow" after I input that.
The latest bookworm game (the adventure) has nods to classic text and ascii games.
There is an artifact named the arch of XYZZY.
I have gotten it working several times and I think I finally figured it all out.
Drop me an e-mail if you want to discuss what I did.
