The artists got their money the first time the cd was sold. They have no moral or legal right to continue to be paid over and over for the same phyiscal copy.
. I should simply ask ifconfig to output the first entry in the field `IP Address' for the first record in the set
The problem is that you then have to program every possible output into each and every possible program. ls has a whole wack of options, but it doesn't have enough options to list only the files owned by me sorted by the group printing only the group and filename. Even if you added that functionallity to ls, then I can think of a new problem, and before you know it, ls is a 50mb binary, with so many options that no-one can remember how to solve their problems anyway.
Command line pipes have had multiple inputs and outputs for years. I remember using them in the zsh round about 1990, but even the bourne shell has them in a less sophisticated way.
Add a touch screeen so that when it comes to window selection less fine manipulation, you can use the large muscles of the arm and shoulder, then use the mouse for the finer that you cannot get with a touch screen.
Touch screens have a high fatigue factor, so people don't like to use them for long periods of time.
My point about Windows Update is that ALL of these recent high-prifile attacks have had Windows Update patches for MONTHS. Service Pack 2 blocks almost all of them as well.
I have to note that Microsoft's own servers have been infected. Microsoft is going to have an advantage over every other company, they can get advanced access to the patches & their effects. They can get priortized access to tech support. If Microsoft is having problems keeping up, then what chance has the average admin got?
The only real use of ABCD is in military phone systems, such as AUTOVON and it's successors, where they are used to prioritize calls, and if necessary drop the lowest priority calls in times of network stress. The instructions for AUTOVON are Online.
Except that you can't copyright something that doesn't have "signficant creative effort", and I doubt if either the 16 DTMF codes nor the possible dialings sequences from them qualify.
These fuel cells will carry water or hydrocarbons. They will split the hydrogen out as it is needed.
No they won't. It would take exactly the same amount of energy to split out the hydrogen as you would get back in recombining it in a fuel cell. When you consider the unavoidable efficency losses, that means you're behind.
It is estimated that for every personal computer (not just laptops) there are eight to ten embedded computers.
Also embededded systems often have multiple processors. For example, one to run the display, one to do each real time operation. That means if the display is being hammered, the real time ops aren't affected.
A drawback is that the other major product of photosynthesis is the breaking down of CO2 to free up oxygen for the crew to breath. But current spacecraft and stations instead rely on CO2 'scrubbers' (ala Apollo 13 [amazon.com] & duct tape fame) to do this. So for deep space exploration, where light is either not available, or requires too much energy, I think GM'd saprophytic plants would be a good alternative
Unfortunatly only 2 things wrong with your theory:
1) Saprophytic plants live by ingesting other organic material. Therefore they must always have a decrease in the net organic mass. Your plan is equivilant to finding that your ship can't carry enough corn, so you decide to bring along some cows to eat the corn, and you'll eat the corn. The cows will grow, but you'll end up with less calories than if you ate the corn yourself.
2) The reason that they use scrubbers because the trip is either very short, or it's easy to resupply from Earth. For deep space, neither would apply, and it would require huge amounts of supplies to carry enough scrubbers and fresh oxygen to last.
Thus photosynthesising plants would have a huge advantage for both problems.
The Z80A was actually the chip that the Sinclair systems had, a higher rated version of the Z80. It was actually rated for 4Mhz, but Sinclair underclocked it to either 3.25Mhz (ZX80 and ZX81) or 3.5Mhz (Spectrum) because it saved on a seperate clock chrystal. The original Z80 was a 2.5Mhz chip. Later Z80 variants were the Z80B (6Mhz) and Z80H (8Mhz), and the Hitachi HD64180 added a MMU to support paged memory.
The Zilog Z280 was a 16 bit CPU, also adding a MMU, but mainly increasing the address space to 16Mb, with an internal clock quad, so it would run at 16Mhz on a 4Mhz bus.
Later still, there was the Z8000, which was also basically 16 bit, but had instructions to use its registers as 8,16,32, or 64 bit registers, and the Z80000, which was 32 bits internal version, but with the same basic instruction set.
Zilog's current product line include a number of variations on the above chips, designed for embedded systems with things like on chip ethernet, UARTS, real time clock, etc.
It depends on what genre you're talking about. Classical CD's are often 60 minutes, and 70 minutes aren't unusual. Note also that the listeners to classical music are the least likely to accept artifical restrictions.
I did notice that Portugal has sensibly decided that the war on (some) drugs is a mistake, and is now treating drugs as a medical, not criminal, problem.
And it would mean 1 person for every other 747. I don't know how many 747 a day fly, but based upon the number that landed at Halifax airport, it's obviously quite a lot a day.
And copy protection on computers was a much easier deal, because you didn't have to maintain compatability with billions of existing non-programmable devices.

Yes, some butt sets can generate them. Nothing on the other end listening for them though.

As someone who used the OS's that were around at the time, I can tell you that DOS was not 'actually good for its time'.
No they won't. It would take exactly the same amount of energy to split out the hydrogen as you would get back in recombining it in a fuel cell. When you consider the unavoidable efficency losses, that means you're behind.

I have to disagree with this one. This will end up being a popularity contest.
Making it exactly like working!
You can get standard 12cm CD MP3 players, same size as any other CD walkman, which play 12 hours or so on a disk.
It depends on what genre you're talking about. Classical CD's are often 60 minutes, and 70 minutes aren't unusual. Note also that the listeners to classical music are the least likely to accept artifical restrictions.

This is an urban legend, and like almost all of them, false. Snopes and Arthur Goldstuck both have pages debunking the story.
They didn't though. I can't find a linkable reference on the web, but there is still no new vaccine being produced.
Put in those terms, it doesn't sound so useful.
Actually, the only facility licensed to produce the vaccine has been non-approved since 1998.
Like Dr. Martin Luthor King Jr was?

You mean 'did better on one meaningless test club'
