That was the obvious question to me too. A buck a user a month for Postini has been without a doubt the biggest bang for a buck that I've spent at my current job. And you get the MX servers in the bargain.
I think that if my healthy, athletic, 13yo daughter saw that picture you would get a Duane Johnson-esque eyebrow and a lifelong aversion to anything with the Ralph Lauren label.
Well consider that according to some, we don't use the most durable, cost-effective paving as it is. Political power wielded by the mob-connected construction industry lets the paving companies create the specifications, not the governments paying for the paving.
Asphalt roofing (what we use in the north here) only lasts 20 years or so. If you could make plastic roofing with built-in solar cells it could work, financially. A big subsidy for use in new construction would get the factories running. Then a smaller subsidy for upgrades and it could become the norm. Seems obvious to me, anyway.
Yeah, you'd have to heat it to keep the snow off just like the roads.
I was never a big fan of Defender, but my roommates were, so much so that they (in 1982) utterly destroyed the controllers for my Atari 5200 console within a period of 2 or 3 months.
I use his software even though I do know that he has some strong opinions, and probably some ridiculously strong opinions. He's not a politician, it's clear.
Hell, I've taken blackboard courses where you had to type in a friggin' license number from the back of the $125 paper-back textbook in order to have the "right" to read the "supplementary material" on the publisher's web site (that was required reading). The whole course was bought pre-packaged and plugged in to blackboard. Boy did it suck, too. Can't imagine what the prof in question was getting paid for.
The TV service sucks. The price creeps up and up and up and up with nothing added and it takes 3-5 seconds to change from one channel to the next. The Music choice channels sometimes don't work for days because of obvious bandwidth starvation.
But the Internet never "resets" as far as I can tell. The burst speed is something silly.. I just got 30.72 Mbps in a test. Solid sustained download speeds of 8 Mbps and 1.5 M up. I don't think it's been down since the ice storm in December. And neither has my Pentium 120 router.
This DNS thing can't be good, though. I wonder what would happen if I crank up a djb/dnscache and my network starts emitting only non-recursive queries to specific servers. Hmm.. this won't take long to test.
As I understand the problem, the North Koreans' response to any attack would be the large scale shelling of U.S. and Korean targets in South Korea with their widely distributed massive overkill conventional heavy artillery. Of course some of these emplacements are in populated areas. They'd probably lob a nuke too but it might not even work. The artillery is the problem. It's hard to knock down a ballistic high-explosive shell. (read effectively impossible) The only way to stop them would be a mad bombing campaign that would doubless kill civilians by the thousand.
In my earliest years at DEC, I saw quite a few VT55 terminals, which featured a thermal CRT printer. I only saw one work once, though.
In fact the giant bulk of a the VT50/VT52 case seemed to have been designed to hold this kind of thing. I think there was another variant that actually had a processor and storage in there but I don't remember what it was called.
Fork truck drivers slow? I take it you've never seen a 2 ton fork truck powersliding through an ess with a half-ton of paper on the forks.. it doesn't look slow.
Time is money, and those guys can load a truck in a hurry when it's crunch time.

..Windows (which was morphed from DOS).
or rather imitated DOS with tech from VMS (which they've admittedly taken to undreamed-of heights)

What do you bet we have no recourse when they inevitably release all this credit card data to crooks ?
what he said... didn't know there was such a company

There was a science-fictional society like this.. can't remember it off hand.

Well, I don't know about good, but they seem to fit.
I wonder if they just managed to lock themselves out, so they can't control it.
Either that or someone walked in front of a beer truck.

The stuff is beautifully simple. Qmail too.
Somewhere I think djb is managing to both smile and raise his eyebrows simultaneously.

Collapsing albedo, as opposed to runaway albedo
Where is the tipping point?

wow reading the wikipedia article on the VT52 series was a rush.. it was actually an electrolytic printer.. pretty flaky idea.

Still down here at 1:30 EDT Saturday. They could at least have done an off-site DNS. Weak!
And on a holiday. Bummer. :(
pity you can't bottle that stuff, and take it in small doses...
Unless your wife left you because you were clinically depressed. It can be hard to separate cause from effect sometimes.
