It seemed more complex for it's own good when we covered it in OpSys all those years ago. I suppose that means the only thing to integrate is the multiproc SMP, except it seems absurd to use the same OS code to run handhelds and big iron. I'm an app programmer who has never written C except for a grade, so I could easily be wrong on that part.
They called it Slowlaris through the 1990s, although my primary experience with it was using IPCs and Sparc 5s, and the hardware limitations were more than enough to justify the slowness. (I never got HotJava to run acceptably on anything, but that's more a Java issue than a Solaris issue.)
I've been in Linux-land and away from Sun gear for the last few years, so I haven't dealt with Solaris 9 or 10. Thank you, however, for reminding me about the multi-proc capabilities of Solaris. I know some people who play with SMP and they told me that, but I forgot.
I predict that the main thing of interest in Solaris to most people is the thread model. The main thing about Irix, IIRC, was the graphics capabilities and XFS, and SGI's opened XFS up and it's now ported over.
On the other hand, isn't that part of why they call it Slowlaris?
I'm not convinced that NK is involved with AQ. They have their own weirdness going on there, connected only at a commercial level with the troubles in the Middle East. To be honest with you, I don't know where to start with NK. We're going with diplomatic pressure, but it's lack of trade makes it hard to use a carrot approach, and it's border with China makes the stick approach impossible as long and China and NK are friends. People can say we need to "do better" with NK, but unless someone suggests how, I can't see how we can do anything but keep lots of soldiers at Camp Red Cloud and stare menacingly over the border, which is exactly what we've been doing for half a century.
And AQ has possible homes in the -stans, the Sudan and possibly half a dozen other African nations, and a growing presence in Indonesia, where a the native form of Islam is becoming influenced and transformed and influenced by the Wahabist influences that drive OBL. We have much to worry about, and while a lot of the battle is, well, battle, a lot of it is changing the minds of the world.
A school that is a palace is a school where money went to architects and engineers and construction workers instead of to teachers. We should have good schools built to last, sure, but do students learn better in a school with copper pipes or with pipes of gold with diamond faucets? Do students learn better in a school with fine persian carpets in the halls or ones with tile?
I'm fairly unique here, in that I've went to seven K-12 schools (K-1 in Virginia, 2-5 in Hawaii, 6-8 in Missouri, 9 in another school in Missouri, 10-12 in North Carolina, last semester of 12 split between two schools in Arizona). The best classroom I had was a gutted trailer in NC, because the teacher (Civics and History) knew the subject matter and enjoyed teaching and student interaction. It didn't hurt that I'm a big history fan, but others enjoyed it too.
Using money would help, to be sure. Lots of people who would be interested in education go into other fields because there just isn't much money in it. (For me, it was realizing while going down a staircase in middle school that the people around me or people exactly like them would be my students. I never thought about entering education again.) Thing is, you can get people to do worthwhile things for cheap or for free (Peace Corps? Linux?) if there are rewards. Tell me the reward for standing in the front of an overcrowded class which doesn't want to listen because it sees no point in it?
At core, the problem is structural. The US educational system is set up to keep teenagers away from the job market. Until we change it fundamentally, we'll get the same results.
Poppa Bush left Sadaam alone because he knew that The Stark Fist of Retrieval can be more powerful than the Stark Fist of Removal, because you have to put something in place afterwards.
The 9-11 Commission found that there were connections between al-Qaeda and Iraq, although not related to the 9-11 attacks. This makes sense to me -- the progressive atheist socialism of Ba'ath is anathema to the forces of militant Islam that bin Laden is part of, but America is a problem for both, just as, for example, Communist Russia and Communist China found common ground in hating the US but had hatred and fear of each other based on loads of prerevolutionary history. (China, I believe, was less than thrilled with the concept of a united and powerful Vietnam, even if united under the Red flag.) We know that Sadaam had bought weapons for Palestinian terrorists, so I wouldn't be surprised if he'd contribute to other causes. Either they start seeing him as Nasser, or at least like less of a target, or they fight the big boys and blow themselves up. Where's the loss?
And Sadaam keeping al-Qaeda at bay? WTC 1993? Khobar Towers in 1996? US Embassy in Kenya 1998? The USS Cole in 2000?
One of his research project is machine image analysis, meaning, in part, "can the computer know this is a picture of a nekkid lady without some guy telling it?"
You are not the first to think "Life Size Porn" when hearing about this monitor. I can promise you that.
Don't they use the pulse to identify blood vessels when giving injections and drawing blood? My veins are deep, and I feel like a pincushion after giving blood. How would they go if there wasn't a pulse to guide them? Trial and error? Ouch.
If it has a video out and an audio out, it can be hacked.
If it is a handheld DVD player or the like, with no outs, Hollywood types with huge screens and home theaters will not like it because they'll be seeing things smaller. A bigger-screened player might mitigate that some, but I doubt anything but a set-top box with video outs will be accepted by the audience.
And besides, considering some of the problems they're having, it someone could tape the movie off the dinky screen with a videocamera and it would still sell.
Well, if that bulldozing takes care of the rats and the poisonous spiders that have taken over the house and eaten the children, it's a small price to pay.
First time I got sample code in Python to start playing with, it had a line that started with a tab, which was followed by a line that started with a space and a tab. By everything I knew about the language and everything I could see about the code, it should run, and once I figured out the white space mess, it did, but I felt badly burned by Python, because something you can't read kept me banging my head on the desk for hours.
Of course, I primarily script for webby stuff, and Python's abilities with that in 2000, to the extent I understood them, were like stone knives and bearskins compared to Perl's LWP.
If you do that, then those who receive the documents would not believe they got the original documents. Also, FOIA requests generate forests of dead trees of photocopied documents and if they all had to be retyped, we'd require an army of top-secret cleared typists to regenerate and redact/elide them.
On a an episode of Due South, the mountie listened to someone type their password and was able to guess it just by the sound and rhythm of the keystrokes. Here I thoguht that was all bullsh*t....
Seven channels at one time. For a while, there were three things I wanted at the same time. Last I looked it up, video input cards and TiVo could only handle one. The question was the justification for seven simultaneous inputs, which is more than I've ever wanted to record at once, but not astoundingly more than I could imagine wanting to record at once.
In many presidential and congressional messages, there is only one benighted set of cameras and one official feed, so that wouldn't be of much use.
Last year, though, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, 24 and The Shield were all on at more or less the same time, so while seven discrete sources may sound like much, it's more like planning for the worst case scenario.

They looked left on the merits before Fox News was created.

Carville's wife works for Bush! How can he be objective?

If the Democrats can have ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, the New York Times, the LA Times and the Washington Post, then the Republicans can have Fox News.
Wouldn't that be a gross violation of McCain-Feingold?
I've always preferred to call it shub-internet. I sacrifice my bits to it daily.
I know Ed Delp.
I used to work for his wife.
I've met his grad students.

I totally agree! Our current president has degrees from Harvard and Yale!

They did, or at least some of them did, when we took back the neighboring house from the Rat King. We didn't help them then, to our undying shame.
Do you know anything about the rebuilding period post-WWII for either Japan or Germany?
Well, if that bulldozing takes care of the rats and the poisonous spiders that have taken over the house and eaten the children, it's a small price to pay.

While I agree, for the most part, with your take, I believe you've been trolled. If so, you've lost.

I think they were mentally grouping Math and Science into one, which is valid, as far as it goes.
