So, will the MPAA sue the NYT on DMCA grounds? After all, the only reason one might want to turn a PC into a PVR is because one is an Evil Content Pirate(tm).
I kept an old 5.25" 1.2M floppy drive in a system for years... why? It was the last original part, and allowed me to maintain the fiction for my wife that I was just "upgrading" the computer.
Everything else (case, mobo, etc...) had been replaced.
"The {Fall,September,Semester} that Never ended" refers to AOL coming onto the Internet. Before, the newbie stuff lasted for maybe a month or so, after the start of the new school year. After that, it never ended.
Had problems with the UDMA5 mode, the nVidia drivers (yes, I know that one's not MDK's fault), and other minor little annoyances.
Also, I wasn't happy that I had to do the install four times before I realized that selecting tcpdump in the get updates portion was a big mistake, causing a hang (It wanted libpcap off CD 1, but wouldn't prompt for the CD).
Microsoft, love it or hate it, understands that you can't expect vendors to support your product and customers to buy it if you regularly break their software with OS upgrades
You mean like how they silently broke plugin compatibility with IE5.5SP2?

Preemptive correction to avoid flamers. I *know* you meant Neptune.
And the OP is right. The "Grand Tour" is a once in 200 year event. IIRC, there was some debate whether or not they'd get funding to do it (kind of like the P-K Express today).
Darn, I knew I forgot some stuff... Of course, I also forgot LOW MORTGAGE RATES, and unintelligible chinese characters, too.

Hello, maxcohen!
Did you know that if you got a NEW REFILLED LASER TONER CARTRIDGE, you could ENLARGE YOUR PENIS UP TO THREE INCHES so that HORNY TEEN CHEERLEADERS would want your manliness that you enhanced with your HERBAL VIAGRA? It would even be better if you were OUT OF DEBT thanks to this opportunity to MAKE MONEY FAST using our new MASS MAILING SOFTWARE. Then you could take the HORNY TEEN CHEERLEADERS on your FREE VACATION!
At any rate, my observations are as follow: First, the Ada syntax was based on the Pascal syntax (they state this in the textbooks). Second, it is almost as anal as Java. Third, you may write a program in Ada but if you use Gnat to generate your code, it's getting translated to C anyway, so theoretically your bullet proof code just developed some vulnerabilities.
1. What do you mean *ALMOST* as anal? It's more anal.
2. You won't be using GNAT in an avionics systems. You'd be using a Validated platform. That means that the compiler, OS, *AND* target platform have been validated together. It costs a bundle.
3. DoD has removed the mandate that ALL new software be written in Ada, but most avionics are written that way for safety reasons (editorial: Ada83 sucked, but Ada95 is a fairly decent language).

"Java was the first major language to integrate multithreading as a fundamental feature rather than a special purpose add-on library."
Obviously the man has never heard of Ada83. OK, they were called tasks instead of threads. They were still threads.

I'm not convinced that this attack even happened
It happened. Declan McCullagh of Politech has some logs here.
The DoS'ers were obviously trying to prevent the RIAA from distributing material copyrighted by the DoS'ers. Namely DoS software.
Post a link to your server on Slashdot. That'll decay you really quick.

Boot the CD and go to recovery console.

Especially after the Sysadmin finishes cleaning up after the "Pink Slip" worm!
Yeah, but how many people got it from that page as opposed to though Windows Update(tm)?
There's a new sign in the window at HP's corporate HQ.
No, but "It" might.
Also, possibly, "Ekki-Ekki-Ekki-Ekki-PTANG! Zoom-Boing! Z'nourrwringmm!"
I think that's his point. I break the DMCA all the time with DVD's on my linux box.
Please remain where you are. The FBI will be there to arrest you shortly.

but this is military product we're talking about.
They're pretty much free to accept whatever code they want, as long as it's written in Ada.
