I know it's present in some legacy systems, and supported by Compaq for that reason. But why would we want VMS on new hardware? What new stuff runs on VMS these days?
Linus Torvalds, the original creator of the operating system and still its top authority
are why RMS rants endlessly that the environment should be called "GNU/Linux" instead. Please get it right, and credit Linus for the Linux kernel (and a few utilities) only.
We have too many "call out" services and zero (that I can find) "receive calls" services. Someone please wake me up when some company is willing to sell me decently priced telephone service where a xxx-xxx-xxxx phone number can be routed to an arbitrary Internet host via H.323 or similar.
(I know about Vonage, but their AUP requires that you use the provided device as the call endpoint. I want it to be my box at Rackspace and my own call processing software instead.)
I'm a former Iowa resident. No, I didn't live on a farm (my uncle does, though)
Iowa doesn't spread salt on the roads in the winter. They spread sand instead, doing nothing about the snow and ice, instead helping out traction a bit. It's clearly a cost-cutting measure; one so grossly abused that every spring hundreds of Iowa kids write the governor complaining that it's unsafe to ride their bicycles until late summer.
With this in mind let me kindly suggest that Iowa is not a good real-world laboratory for winter time road management experiments. Thank you spin-your-tires through.
You'd spend much less than $10 mil installing surveillance equipment to record my passwords (keystroke logger, camera, EM fields from my computer & monitor) or just bribe my bank/employer/friends to covertly give you the info you want. Bribe my postman to lend/give you my mail. Or steal someone's trash. etc.
So where can I AXFR the root zone from, and help relieve the root servers from such waste and horror?
I know the zone doesn't change all that often, and you can get it by FTP (example, here, but, I wouldn't want a stale copy of the zone mysteriously borking my networks.
So now a presence on the Internet, and contact with the world, means that I'm potentially liable for expenses related to travelling anywhere in the world (in this case California) in regards to legal action?
Those 300-in-one sets frequently encouraged you to experiment by modifying the circuits...let me tell you, replacing the components when they burned up wasn't exactly the most fun thing to do, particularly when you couldn't readily determine which ones aren't working the way they're supposed to. I suppose an experienced engineer could readily do that, but a 12 year old kid trying to learn?
Sure was fun to have my own 10mw-ish AM station, though.
Frankly if I were to do it all over again I'd just go buy a bunch of components, a soldering iron and a few prototyping boards. They still make those prototyping boards, don't they?

99.9% accuracy rate means it fails for every 1 in 1000 uses. IIRC, there were more than 3000 fatailities on 9/11.
Verisign just DDOSed itself by redirecting untold numbers of spam bounces to a single IP. Good job, guys!
RFC1459 is still being heavily implemented; it is open source, secure, in current use, and fits the online dialogue needs of millions every day.

eBay doesn't censor user feedback, so wouldn't they be considered "common carrier" and therefore immune from liability for libel?

Honest, boss, I was at my desk ALL DAY!
Swell, I guess I better shut off my web server.
