    Just re-read & noticed this - I'm surprised I missed it before...

    > having programmed in VB for the last 8 years doing kernel level programming

    Especially since 8 years before WIn2K would place him someplace around VB3, and SMP was supported around NT 3.5 that way before this. And Reiserfs did exist at theat time. XFS and JFS were already available albeit as patches, and that filesystems technically are not supported in the kernel in either Linux or Windows. Or at the time Fortune 500 companies were using mostly mainframes and Suns for servers.

    Someone should tell Satya you "get what you pay for" and tell him to pay more for their trolls. This guy sounds as clueless as a person claiming to be a physicist calling into Art Bell .

    I haste to say this for fear of giving people ideas, but the easiest way to kill a whole bunch of high school students in one fell swoop is to going the boiler room and sabotage it.

    Try banning stupidity like this:

    Maybe then there will be less anger.
    Of course he won't speak out against that because in his wacked out state that would violate first amendment rights. So instead he proposed to flush the second amendment down the toilet.

    One part of this should be to design automated digging machines. Like Seatle's Bertha, though at various scales. Electricity and telecommunication woulkd become cheaper if they could automate cable laying. ( Not to mention sewers ).

  15. RK-9000 is banned in Illinois. on UN: Renewables, Nuclear Must Triple To Save Climate · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The RK-9000 is a mechanical keyboard made by Rosewill which is the inhouse manufacturer for NewEgg. What does a keyboard have to do with anything?

    You cannot find a more "green" keyboard then a mechanical keyboard. Each keyswitch is rated at 50 milliion keypresses. If a letter foes buy a new keyswitch. ( Though I would buy a whole bunch of them ).Desolder the old switch solder in the new. My miniUSB port just broke and I wil be soldering in a new one as soon as it arrives. If the controller goes I can get a new one. I can probably get a new PCB if I have to. They are made to last and when any part breaks, it can be repaired or replaced.

    So why are they banned in Illinois. Thanks to our idiot of a governor. ( Second only to Gov Moonbeam ). He created a law regulating e-waste. The law says that for a manufacturer to sell their product, they have to register and certify that they recycle a certain amount of their products. [1] So for this reason, instead of being able to buy a long lasting green keyboard, you have to buy a cheap will fall apart soon keyboard.

    More and more the wacked out conservationalists ae acting like this,.

    [1] In fact when you sto[p and think about it, many electronics products can last forever,so companies may never even get the chance to recycle a large percentage.

    When I took Halderman's security class, he warned us that any student who broke the law would automatically get an F in his class.

    You think this could have been said some thirty years ago?

    Actually, I do remember on a Charlie ROse show, Charles Murray said something like: "Not very many people with 80 IQs can be successful mathematicians." [1]. He then went on to say, "Fortunately most people with 80 IQs don't want to be mathematicians."

    Of course everyone was trashing Murray at the time.

  25. What does it mean to divest? on 93 Harvard Faculty Members Call On the University To Divest From Fossil Fuels · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Well it means that University investments will not go towards fossil fuels, but why were they investing in fossil feuls in the first place?
    Oh wait. It must be because fossil fuels were the most lucrative alternative. So invest in the second most lucrative investment. The University will just make less money. It just means their endowment will be smaller. Which just means that their budget will be smaller.
    '
    Nowadays, Universities don't have many alternatives to compensate for smaller budgets, but they do have one major place they traditionally look to to, tuitions.

    Except:

    They've proven themselves not progressive. Just look at how much they demand in order to be allowed to attend classes. They are a school for the rich, by the rich.

    So really raising tuition is not a good idea.

    I know! They can simply cut faculty pay!

    I'm so glad that 100 faculty are volunteering to have their pay cut.
