SABRE????? The same SABRE from the 1960s that every OS textbook in the world uses as an example of an early timeshare system? This guy is on more crack than/. moderators!
I bought from them back in the olden days (late 80's)... I needed a big AT power supply that would provide tons of 5V. Most of the big PSen gave lots of 12V (for all the hard drives). I had a 68030 debugger board that drew 14A of 5V. PC Power and Cooling did the job for me!
Anyway, the point is, go when no one else is there
Actually happened. Took my grandmother to see Star Trek V (she was a huge trek fan, and loved Shatner), and until 5 minutes before showtime, we were the only ones in the theatre. I was wondering if they would have shown it if we hadn't been there...
The copy protection was tied to the timings of the IBM PC and XT 360K drive. When the AT came out with the 1.2MB driver, the timing was different, and all the power users who bought the AT for faster number crunching couldn't use 123 until Lotus fixed the problem.
Now all we need is for MS to back off and rewrite their EULAs so they don't have the power to just mosey in, make changes to your system, and never tell you a thing.
They rewrote the WMP 6.4 and 7.1 security update EULA to remove the onerous "root access" provision.
Digital Rights Management. Content providers are using the digital rights management technology contained in the applicable OS Product ("DRM") to protect the integrity of their content ("Secure Content") so that their intellectual property, including copyright, in such content is not misappropriated. Portions of the applicable OS Product and third party applications such as media players use DRM to play Secure Content ("DRM Software"). If the DRM Software's security has been compromised, owners of Secure Content ("Secure Content Owners") may request that Microsoft revoke the DRM Software's right to copy, display and/or play Secure Content. Revocation does not alter the DRM Software's ability to play unprotected content. A list of revoked DRM Software is sent to your computer whenever you download a license for Secure Content from the Internet. YOU THEREFORE AGREE THAT MICROSOFT MAY, IN CONJUNCTION WITH SUCH LICENSE, ALSO DOWNLOAD REVOCATION LISTS ONTO YOUR COMPUTER ON BEHALF OF SECURE CONTENT OWNERS. Microsoft will not retrieve any personally identifiable information, or any other information, from your computer by downloading such revocation lists. Secure Content Owners may also require you to upgrade some of the DRM components in the applicable OS Product ("DRM Upgrades") before accessing their content. When you attempt to play such content, Microsoft DRM Software will notify you that a DRM Upgrade is required and then ask for your consent before the DRM Upgrade is downloaded. Third party DRM Software may do the same. If you decline the upgrade, you will not be able to access content that requires the DRM Upgrade; however, you will still be able to access unprotected content and Secure Content that does not require the upgrade.

Doesn't Al Gore have prior art?

(And yes, I know it's an urban legend, hence the HUMOR tags).
When was the last time Microsoft paid taxes?
Alas, that's only in Excel 97. Don't work in 2K.
It was a scanner.
Of course, being Jewish, I'd be a bit ticked at paying a "state church tax".
I picked up an unopened Antec PP-403X supply at a going-out-of-business sale.
Is this one a good one? My Athlon has an Allied/Deer PS (came stock with the case). I've heard nasties about Allied/Deer, and am wondering...
Thank you!

And of those, the only decent ones are
98SE and 2000 (4.1.2222 and 5.0.2195).
AAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!
My kids outgrew Lambchop several years ago, and while I always liked Shari and Lambchop, when my kids sang that one it drove me crazy!!!!!!
BTW, Charlie Horse was the real star of the show!

To put it country simple, if they could have gotten here, we'd be living on a reservation already.
So you're talking about Fermi's Paradox?
Has any studio actually put the $3Billion in "piracy losses" into their annual statement?
If not, they should shut the fuck up, or prove the statement.

What, you don't smuggle food in under your coat?
Obviously you missed this part: I live in southern california
A coat would be a tip-off, even in the dead of winter. In the summer, it would probably get him arrested as a terrorist.
Lotus 123 Rel 1A anyone?

Yeah, but at least TLC still has Junkyard Wars!
Uh, let's see... the MPAA pushed for it in Digital TV... I doubt that Hillary will settle for anything less than Jack got!

Theoretically, won't AOL still have the copyright on Europe,
Damn, that's some trick! I'd love to hold the copyright on an entire continent!
All your Europeans are belong to AOL!
It's still a cool discovery
Actually, given the distance from the Sun, I'd say it's a very COLD discovery!
I can walk into any 7-11 in the country and buy an AT&T prepaid phone.
Boucher's been one of the "good guys" on this issue for years.
