When I look at the back of my PC I see about half a dozen different types of connectors, so, yeah, you never really replace anything, you just enable new things.
It took an easy decade for USB to make the PS2 connectors go away. And if you shop, you can still find mobos with them.
Given that most things that use USB don't even need the BW it gives us now, Thunderbolt is overkill for basic usage. USB will be around for a long time, and will probably end up replaced by Bluetooth when it does finally go away.
Titanic was far more expensive. Made how much money?
You are totally overestimating the X value of Watchmen, and the amount it grossed proves it. Your Y is absolutely, incontrovertibly, dependent on X and Z. X and Z are somewhat dependent on my Y. In no case is the $ output independent of quality and popularity. You have revenue only because large numbers of people see your movie, no matter how cheap you build it.
Your X and Z axes are independent, but your Y axis is a function of X and Z, mostly X. I think what you wanted for Y was, "Is it any good?" and then you'd have a $ axis as a function of the other three, but still mostly of X.
Blackwater pays enough and, likely, acts enough like The Mob, with obvious capabilities to carry out any "suggestions" they might make as to the consequences of certain decisions, that any startup competition soon becomes a subsidiary.
Their pricing (about 10X the cost of actual military) is further evidence they're not being undercut by anyone.
The United States is populated by xtian morons, and the xtian con machine is buying political power to make that worse.
One particular cult may have picked May 21 to publicize (that's not the date, btw, it's just when shit starts to unravel; the actual rapturing starts in October), but you can bet that every one of those god-brained fools is hoping this is really it, even if they're too chickenshit to join the parade openly.
That's not fact. It's homily. The record companies pay them for the music. If you then steal the music, the record companies start offering artists less for music, and artists take it because it's all they can get for it. If you think you're fucking just the record company, you're fucking wrong.
I get fairly periodic hits to my firewalled router. They probe random ports a couple of times then disappear for 40 minutes, then do it again, pretty much 24/7/365.
There's more than just.cn IPs in there, but the.cn ones have persisted for years.
No, I didn't ignore what you said, I just considered it moot.
If cat doesn't do what cat normally does, then how do I get what cat normally does? Now I have to write another program to get around the change you've made in the behavior of a program that always did what I wanted done. And now when I use cat on any file type that isn't plaintext, I have to know what will happen to that data instead of what cat is designed to do. It makes me feel about the simplest possible unix command the way I feel about.exe files I've just downloaded but never clicked on: like I'm about to be in a situation where I want to slap the reset button.
We already have a program like that. It's called exec(2). You invoke it by typing the name of the file into the shell. But that only works for files with magic numbers matching executable types..png is a data type, not an executable type. You'd have to do a #!/usr/bin/gimp at the beginning of the.png file to get it to work, but then it wouldn't be a.png file.
Maybe data should be data and executables should be executables. If you don't have "progname datafilename" as your syntax, you don't need a CLI at all, and double- or single-clicking the file should "open" it. And then you're talking GUI, not CLI.
cat(1) has a very specific thing it does, and that's good and in keeping with the original design philosophy of orthogonality among the basic set of binaries. Crufting it up with a lot of modal behavior is counter to the point of Unix.

I still have no idea why you'd want to see the garbage in the first place
Because I debug.
Yeah? And does your new computer make a noise?
Dude is prescient.
Don't forget The Princess Bride.
Oh wait. That movie fscking ruled.
Wait. You mean Science Fiction does things that can't really happen?
Starring Robert Pattinson, who will ad lib all of his lines. However, his shirt will be removed exactly as Mr. Goldsman will script it.

None.

That wasn't Gibson's fault. Hollywood got "creative" with it.
:-/
How about Four of them on the NYT list simultaneously?

1.9) Do a bunch of really neat stuff that everyone will like at great expense and sell ad space next to it.
This is what Google actually does, and it makes a metric assload of money doing it.
Apparently, it's hired a beancounter who's convinced himself to propose this:
2.1) Find a way to make even more profit by paywalling content.
I would be it's coming from China.

that's totally not what that says and i can't even mis-parse it to say that
I have a cuckoo bird who listens for such traffic and dangles my keys on the modem connector when it happens.

Those rapture novels are among the best selling books of the last two decades.
It's a whole lot more than 175,000 people who believe in it.

You have to get the latest kernel for it to work right.
2010.
No, we just need to wait until Sunday, then stand outside any church and ask the people going inside if it matters if they do that any more.
Because that's what cat is supposed to do (every time).
If he wanted object-oriented polymorphism, he should have implemented something like this:
$ ls
foo.png readme
$ foo.png display
{outputs the picture}
$ foo.png cat
{outputs the bytes}
Considering I cut-n-pasted what looks like about the 98th sentence, I call shenanigans.
