Man, Cobalt Qubes have been out forever. I remember evaluating one at my old ISP job in 1998 (THAT takes me back). They're decent boxes, I suppose, though a bit overpriced for what you get. It was mainly notable for being the first popular "it runs linux but you'd never know it" machine.
So, it wasn't Microsoft's fault for writing a shitty program, it was the customers' fault for buying it? Huh? What other choices were availible, exactly? OS/2? MS torpedoed that one, remember.
When MIT establishes a futures market for ideas, it's good.
When the U.S.A. does the same thing, it's bad.
That concludes our lesson for today. Remember class, your essays on Marx are due next week, and extra credit for anyone who comes to the church service disruption scheduled for Sunday.
Reams and reams of paperwork must be completed, qualified engineers must be hired, and accredited builders must be contracted before so much as a single girder is laid.
So, what engineering standards does MS have to adhere to before they release a potentially internet-killing product? Oh, none?
Bullshit. That's like saying, "bridge collapses happen." The collapse-free bridge is here, and it's here to stay. Why? Because there are engineering standards that ensure safety. Software engineering is alone in tolerating, nay, encouraging defective products to exist. The "sufficiently large" argument is bullshit as well. I can name any number of staggeringly huge engineering projects, all of which were completed successfully and still stand safely today. And Microsoft can't even write a program to send email without massive defects? Get real.
No, just stating facts that I have learned. Interesting that you consider this 'picking on'. I await a thoughtful, concise refutation. In vain, most likely.
So what if it's shielded? Make a bigger weapon. Most US stuff during the Cold War was shielded to 50,000 volts. An obvious first move for the Soviets was to explode EMP devices over the continental US. Soviets simply make a bomb that generates over 50,000 volts, and voila, problem solved.

Just how non-violent would you like war to be? Please tell us and I'll have DARPA get right on it.
You hit the nail on the head, friend. Anime has a tremendous novelty appeal but the shine wears off quickly. And people in Japan watch the worst possible American programming just because it's American.
What's the draw? Seeing teenage girls being raped by tentacled monsters, perhaps? C'mon, this isn't flamebait...name one anime fan YOU know, moderator, who DOESN'T have a SINGLE tentacle porn. Yeah, that's what I thought.
The stereotype you quote is correct, to a degree. The anime target consumer is a child. The reason full-grown adults in America flock to anime is unknown at this time.
Wow...crazy. To suggest that a full-grown adult should go to all the trouble of learning a language, particularly one as devlishly tricky as Japanese, merely in order to watch cartoon shows?
I don't know, man...I remember the days when every single machine out there had its own IP, and there were banks and banks of easy desktop machines to contact and play with. Ah...it was the happy hunting ground.
They'll certainly know it was us that caused all the environmental disasters that are currently causing all the problems on the Sun right now. Of course, by then, a "sunny" day will be a distant memory, what with all the pollution-choked skies.
I'd advise against telemarketing for a theater group. You'd get members of the Great Unwashed into your building, and they wouldn't fit well at all with the theater community. Theater is much like Sewing...99% of the population doesn't care, but those who are have common interests and really don't mix well with hicks and rednecks from society at large.
Actually, bad example. There are lots of hicks who sew. But you get the idea.

Of course, the defense of Berlin didn't go over too well historically, either.

You mean Windows NT 5.1, aka Windows XP?
"the" IRC? IRC doesn't take a definite article, and it gets capitalized. Bonus points for spelling "definitely" correctly, though.

The O'Reilly book happened to be in front of me when I was casting about for a random username.

How about paying their developers $250,000 to write secure software instead of the bug-riddled crap they currently put out?

And anime is for children. Its target market in Japan is kids. Ever been to an anime shop in Japan, or watched Japanese TV?

Uh, it's the verb tense. Present, smite. Past, smote. Past participle, smitten. If you're going to get into a grammar war with me, at least be right.
I don't know, man...I remember the days when every single machine out there had its own IP, and there were banks and banks of easy desktop machines to contact and play with. Ah...it was the happy hunting ground.
Smitten. If you're going to conjugate archaic irregular verbs, do it right. Beget, begat, begotten!

Genius. No wonder you're in theater. You might consider this book to be of help.
Obviously a man who has never had to reason with U.S. environmental authorities. Saddam Hussein himself is more flexible and understanding.
refutal? refutation and rebuttal. why not, two for the price of one.
