Slashdotting the SEC's just gotta violate some law...

The SEC headquarters was evacuated today after a form of the denial of service hacking attack, commonly known as "slashdotting" caused their servers to halt and catch fire. The FBI refuses to confirm that it may be seeking one Rob "Commander Taco" Malda for questioning in this terrorist attack on America's financial structure.
The reason engineers, and physicists, use Fortran is that, until recently, it was the best number crunching language around. C and C++ didn't get math libraries that could compete with Fortran until a couple of years ago, and no one with any sense is going to use an interpereted language for serious number crunching.
He's hated because he didn't apologize for being an asshole. To tell the truth, I don't hate him. I don't think he's worth the effort. He is, however, worth the effort of making an example of. It's called deterrence. Spam won't be stopped until Bad Things start happening to spammers. Well, a Bad Thing happened to him. Hopefully it'll deter some other idiots.
At my home e-mail address. Not work, home. That's why it's spam. Sending your resume out to the hr departments at a zillion companies that may want you is targeted. Sending it to random people at their homes is not targeted, and is spam.
That $2000 server will have nowhere near the hardware reliability of the $400,000 mainframe. When the hardware fails on a mainframe it is a dire event, resulting in a team of engineers being put on the next flight out to the customers site.
IIRC, tax documents should be kept for seven years, in case of an IRS audit.
If you knowingly destroy evidence of a crime, even on someone else's orders, you've just committed Obstruction of Justice, and possibly Conspiracy to Obstruct Justice. Those are what all the Watergate conspriators went to jail for.
The Cabal is behind it all! Think about it! What do Mozart's Silver Flute, the Defenestration of Prague, Philip K Dick, and Dubya all have in common? Who was it that poisoned Rusty? AndInoshiro?
It's not the Black Helicopters you fool! Those are just a ruse to distract your attention from the Real Truth! (They're chartreuse helicopters, anyway.) You have been wasting years of your empty life in an obsessive, paranoiac search for the truth! And you can't handle the Truth! The Truth is that there is one, single, true conspiracy!
Say, a watch that can help you navigate to the nearest pub? Maybe. Yet, this is The Woz. The guy who designed the Apple Computer. (Jobs is just a marketer, albeit a good one.) If anyone can come up with something truly new and cool, it's him.
I have become convinced that spam, and script kiddy idiocy such as this, will only stop when Bad Things(TM) start happening to the abusers. Bad Things(TM) would hopefully be legal, in that the abusers go to jail. But that may not happen until after the victims, seeing no help coming from the law, take things into their own hands.
Yes. You are travelling along the circumference of a small circle versus travelling along a long radius. IIRC, the circumference of the Earth is about the same length as the distance to synchronous orbit.
A real time OS as a desktop system? I've worked with embedded/real time systems and performance in that world is different from performance in the desktop and server worlds. QNX has a nice looking GUI, but who would need it in an embedded or real time application?
Real time OS's Have Issues with performance on the desktop, just as desktop/server OS's Have Issues in the real time space.

20 mm depleted uranium slugs at a rate of 5000 rounds/minute.
Sink like a rock. If some damn fool forgets to put the drain plugs back in before the river crossing.
Can they grow pianos?

Yesterday, during one of the football playoffs, I saw an IBM commercial. In the background was a guy in a Tux suit...
"Evaluation Board" often means "produced by hand, in small lots" which is probably why the price is so high.

The bastard children of Vogons and Vorlons?
Shifman got no more than he deserved.
You think Linux is a corporation? With a PR department full of marketroids? If you do, I've got a hot news flash for you. It's not.

Userfriendly was implemented by Illiad?

Some of "the town's 1,000-odd residents" are pretty odd indeed.

Not anymore. @home cratered.

That pesky speed of light is just too slow.
Maybe. It wouldn't have prevented the hijackings, and probably wouldn't have gotten the fighters there any sooner.
Actually, the C For Dummies and C++ For Dummies books are pretty good for getting the basics. Then for C get K&R and for C++ get Stroustrup.
That all will set you back about $150, but not all at once.
