Five years ago, someone was selling a trailer-load of B20s at the Trenton Computer Festival for $50 each. You can find a newer one for less, I'm certain of it (thus spake the guy who owns a System/36:). The software is transferable now, too, so you don't need to ghet it from BIM anymore. Just find one with whatever ILE stuff you want to play with.
Well, perhaps his co-'hackers' (like rtm) would prefer to screw around getting their ecommerce software written in LISP to scale across a bunch of flaky PC hardware, but I can write AS/400 software on the smallest one (7 users) and it will run *unchanged* on the largest one (millions of users). How can you hate that? You can even use C if you need the headaches.
Hackers don't screw around reinventing the wheel, or using a blunt tool when there's a sharp one available.
He wrote At a startup I once worked for, one of the things pinned up on our bulletin board was an ad from IBM. It was a picture of an AS400, and the headline read, I think, "hackers despise it.'' [1]
You bonehead, what a MARKETEER thinks is a 'hacker' (that is, a criminal) hates the AS/400.
*This* hacker thinks the AS/400 is the most secure, uncrashable system extant. Go ahead, try to gain superuser (QSECOFR)on an AS/400. You can't. AT ALL. Even QSECOFR cannot change a system program to do something it's not supposed to. Go ahead and try to crash one, I've never seen it done short of a lightning bolt.
BTW, that footnote in his article said nice things about IBM Thinkpads. Sure they are lovely, but PCs are TOYS compared to the REAL computers.
Eli Whitney had a patent, but he couldn't sue the thousands who made their own. Also, lawyers will only go after the deep pockets, so if you are an infringer living in your parent's basement, they can't justify any action that loses them money.
If I can kill all the bacteria in water by simply boiling it for a few minutes at ~100 celcius
That won't kill all the spores, which is why autoclaves operate at higher temperatures for much longer periods. And Oceanic vent-dwelling bacteria would find it posively chilly.
I cannot maintain a 'normal' sleep/wake cycle, but I sleep fine and feel rested when I sleep when I am tired, and get up when I'm awake. I also nap any time I feel like it.
Get a job (and relationships) that let you do what your body demands, and you will be much better off.
Assume company X has $100 million in actual cash profit one year, but grants options to employees that the SEC makes them record as $100 million of expense. Does that mean they did not make a profit, and thus do not have to pay any taxes on the cash?
will no doubt appear at spinsanity.org, where you will find criticisms of Moore's work, including BfC. Read the criticisms of Novak and other conservatives there also, and you will see they are truly unbiased.
The Emperor was looking for a way out as soon as the Suzuki Cabinet was formed.
Without carriers, you can't have an effective navy. So you can't stop the Allies taking islands to base bombers on, thus the mainland was firebombed quite effectively. The Emperor certainly knew the bombing of Tokyo had killed 100k+ people, and many more would die, even without the atom bomb.

Episode I: The Phantom Auction, is gonna SUCK, I bet.
Shh... that was supposed to be our little secret!
No matter how secure a system CAN be, it only takes one idiot to open it up wide.

Larry Niven said that.

Is the computer revolution somehow NOT sucking?

That statement is complete nonsense. Einstein never said it, and MANY people understood it in 1934.
Please do not mod up this obvious reply. Thank you.
What an insensitive thing to say.
Learn some manners, michael.

If RedHat loses, the court will probably make them do what MicroSoft had to do for some of their antitrust settlements:
Give out coupons for free software.

So, if I bike to Defcon, I should be thin enough to look good by the pool?
Anyway, do one more calculation. How many miles per Big Mac? Last time I calculated that, I found driving a Cadillac was much more cost efficient.
No, he is a racist or an idiot. After that, it doesn't matter what he is or who he votes for.
You, on the other hand, smear both Americans and Bush voters as being like this racist idiot guy. Pot Kettle Black.
Liquid mercury IS found in nature. You must have never seen a rich cinnabar deposit.
That lead is in the glass. How is it going to get into the water supply?
Is my 24% lead crystal stemware poisoning me? No.
Open old KB. Cut away everything except the controller chip and the traces between it and where the cable enters.
Your father would have been making $80k/year in my town. Quit whining.
If a job does not pay you what you think you are worth, go find another one that does. No one is forcing you to stay poor.
I am in perfect health as a result of sitting on my fat ass, drinking beer, eating Cheetos, and reading Slashdot.
No seriously, I'm doing that right +++ATH @#*&@*#$ NO HEARTBEAT

Yes, China was a disaster.
Midway was only six months after Pearl Harbor, and they lost four carriers, so there was little doubt they would lose the war after that.
