Here's a search for a possible culprit - just x86. Seems fine, although notice how the first 9 results are all AMD, with some impostor Intel claiming #10 spot (and it's not even Intel's site, it's Solaris on Intel document).
This is unsurprising. Intel in general does not refer to them as x86.
No, GECOS stood for "General Electric Comprehensive Operating System". After bought by Honeywell, the "Electric" was dropped. The/etc/passwd field is referred to as the GECOS field.
Sure, but I don't quite understand why you are implying that a republic cannot be democratic. Is the United States not a democratic republic? The fact that it is a representative democracy does not make it undemocratic.
Please, do tell how the representative government of the United States is not democratic. Among others, www.m-w.com defines "democracy" as
1 a : government by the people; especially : rule of the majority b : a government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised by them directly or indirectly through a system of representation usually involving periodically held free elections
Actually, the really bad keyboards put the F1 key where one would expect Esc to be. That'll kill a vi user any day, if F1 is mapped to something like "help". In vim, I believe F1 opens help automagically.
The correct position for Ctrl is to the left of the A key.
Uptime is not really as important as reliability when it comes to an NTP server. It could have an uptime of 6 years but still have terrible jitter. What you want to do is choose three different time servers, on different networks, but all fairly close to you, networkwise. Your NTP client will figure out which is most reliable and use that one. If one of them goes off the air, or becomes unreliable, you have two backups.
...they do have an OS monopoly and are using it (as usual) to obtain a monopoly in instant messaging.
Please do explain yourself. Just because Microsoft is a convicted monopolist and has been known to engage in predatory business practices does not automatically require that everything they do to be monopolistic. I can't see how they are leveraging their operating system monopoly to obtain a monopoly in instant messaging, or how a change in protocol is at all related. Now, if they were changing the next release of Windows so that it would only work with MSN Messenger (or whatever they call it these days), that would be different.
This would be "leveraging a monopoly" if and only if Microsoft actually had a monopoly in the instant messaging field, which, afaik, they do not. Don't like it? Switch to another technology. In fact, I would encourage it.
Wow. Airlines still have meals? I haven't seen an in-flight meal since March. I must be flying the unfriendly skies. Not to mention that the last time, they showed "Bringing Down the House" on both the outbound and return flight.

Hey now, don't be too hasty. They do make decent mice.

Besides, if you looked at the actor's IMDB bios, you'd see that at the top of every one thier roles in the Hitchiker's movie are listed.
Great. That shows that their data has integrity. It doesn't really prove anything though, as the IMDB site points out.
And he could really use the work, what with the whole Priceline thing.
No. Americans wouldn't say 'shops'.
He did resign, but only after it was clear that he was not going to be nominated for the Board again, as this letter states.
Wasn't that a leveraged buyout? At least Comcast can afford this deal.
Huh? The namespace for XHTML 2 is
http://www.w3.org/2002/06/xhtml2
while XHTML 1 is
http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml
How are those the same namespace? Surely you aren't suggesting that because one might use the same prefix, that they are in the same namespace.
I didn't say "Democratic Republic", I said "democratic republic", which is to say that it is a republic that is also democratic.
Sure, but I don't quite understand why you are implying that a republic cannot be democratic. Is the United States not a democratic republic? The fact that it is a representative democracy does not make it undemocratic.
I didn't see a "LITE" link on hicksdesign. Did I miss it?

I wonder how big a space station you could build for $87 Billion Bucks?
Something around the same size as the one that is currently being built. The cost of the ISS is estimated at 100 billion Euros by the ESA.
This is almost certainly related to this story from last year. Who thought they would actually bring it to market?

Especially not the people running them.

People usually like to run more than just the operating system.
If this blackout had effected all of US / Canada like a Nuclear attack would, would any of the Net worked ?
