I worked on McIDAS around 1980-1982. It ran on a Harris minicomputer and the OS was named VULCAN (IIRC). I had it downloading weather and satellite maps to a Apple ][. The Mount St Helens eruption was visible on it.
It is illegal to sell moon rocks, but not a desk that has a moon rock in it.
Kind of like selling WMD to Iraq. You can't really sell finished nukes, bioweapons, or chemical agents, but you CAN sell all the ingredients as long as you include a statement like "don't mix 10 parts of XYZ to 3 parts ABC because that would make Sarin, and never, ever add water to the Anthrax spores".
0. Don't install hard drives while stupid. My sister's boyfriend once decided to add another drive to his PC. He forgot to buy a cable, so he used a spare floppy drive cable he had laying around. Fortunately he only fried the new drive.
I saw a CA license plate with "LINUX" on it a few months ago. It was on some kind of red sports car IIRC. Since "Linux" is trademarked by Linus, does that mean it was his car, or is the state of California in violation? Or can I get "COCA COLA" or "IBM" or "MICROSOFT"on my plates?

Anonymous Howard, who made a career of proclaiming the demise of the *BSD Operating Systems, was found dead at his keyboard this afternoon. He had just turned 16. An unnamed police spokeswoman said it was an apparent case of "autoerotic asphyxiation gone haywire". [You know the rest of the story.]

Is the John Kerry auction on ebay still going on?
They were, I thought, at one time the most hated thing of all time. And we can't live without magazines, right?

I guess that black hole on the map is where OPTE used to be.
I guess this is kind of a knotty problem?
Around 1977 I saw an ad for a management position at a chip company (Intel?) that required 15 years experience with microprocessors.

NetBSD has been running on it for years.
In related news, my cat disappeared and a CNOT gate took his place for second.

That's the second funniest thing I've heard today.
The funniest is the M$FT guy named "Dave Fester". I wonder is he's anyone's uncle.
If Saturn cars ever make a model number 5 I'll buy it.
That makes sense. It was taking the hwy 12 exit from 101 North. In fact I am using sonic.net even as I write this.

Hey, I've a nifty idea. Why doesn't apple release a version of OS X for Intel PCs? I'll bet nobody ever thought of that!
Welcome to GreatDepression 2.0. I.e people with too much money and time on their hands to realize that the World As We Know It is coming to an end.
See you at the SoupKitchen 3.1.
All the Apple I's ever built put together wouldn't match the power of a single Apple ][e.
Yeah, I thought it was illegal to:

- Follow said link and read the article
- Discuss the article
