Back in the late 80's, in addition to my dev job, I admin'ed a Motorola Delta 3600 box. We were looking for a little more space, manual said that it would take a Seagate ST-251N 40MB SCSI drive. So we bought on off-the-shelf.
It wouldn't work. It turns out that Motorola had custom firmware for those 251Ns.
NC-17 replaced X. Because X wasn't trademarked, the pr0n guys pretty much wrecked it's reputation for "mainstream" films, and X became associated with pr0n only. The MPAA made damned sure that they trademarked NC-17.
A couple of films that were X when they were released were Last Tango in Paris, and Midnight Cowboy.
We had an MSDN Universal subscription. We had a case where an app needed to access Card & Socket services to determine what actually was in the PCMCIA slot (This was under NT4).
Nothing in MSDN. Called support and got an answer from them. Of course, they said "This is undocumented, and is not guaranteed to work on any other release.".

No, they just found out you were the guy with the spray paint can.
Where is my OMG!! PONI3S!!!????
Mainly because treason is specifically defined in the Constitution.
And these abuses, while the may be (IMO) "High Crimes and Misdemeanors", do not fit the definition of Treason.
Don't like that? Then amend the Constitution to define Treason the way you want it.
We should all be using Sumerian.
Anywhere he wants to. Are you going to argue with Godzilla?
Only if it's a corned beef sandwich.
I understand why TomTom settled, but (IANAL) I'd give odds that the FAT LFN patents are invalid under Bilski.
Uh. Wrong. It's up to the DA to prove guilt. By definition, in the US, a defendant is presumed innocent until proven otherwise.
For a moment, I thought that they were saying that Lt. Cmdr. Data was now using BitTorrent.

as in the DRM software mauls your digital rights.
I hate to be a grammer nazi type
But you're obviously NOT a "spelling nazi" type. The word is "grammar".
Been happening for years.

So it's been going on for at least 20 years.
Is that new releases of Java and Solaris will be EBCDIC only!
Could you please flag that one as NSFW!

Ah... TOPS-20. When men were men, and TECO was the text editor of choice!
Ah, but you see, Grasshopper, to understand recursion, you must first understand recursion!
It's a US thing. Wikipedia has an explanation.
Brief summary:
* G - General admission. Anyone can get in. Family fare.
* PG - Parental guidance suggested. Anyone can get in, but may not be suitable for younger children.
* PG-13. Nobody under 13 allowed in without an adult. Mildly graphic violence (think "Temple of Doom", which was the inspiration for this rating).
* R - Nobody under 17 allowed in without an adult. Graphic violence, nudity, sexual themes
* NC-17 -- Nobody under 17. Period. Extremely graphic violence, explicit sex, etc...
Actually, probably not. It was for a prototype handheld system that the Army decided not to buy.
One thing that didn't help was the assertion by CBS (and others) in 2000 that Gore won the election before all the votes had been counted.
Another thing that didn't help was the assertion by Fox (and others) in 2000 that Bush won the election before all the votes had been counted.

Oh, I'm soooo sorry that you have never heard of sarcasm.
Unless they mean "I could care less [... if I really, really tried hard]".
No prob. Typos happen.
