You can't delete the GUI, because it's in ROM. Maybe you deleted some of the GUI apps and disabled startup of the Workbench, but that hardly counts as deleting the GUI.
My memory of Mosaic is that it crashed a lot. Mind you, I was using a beta version for the Mac in September 1993. By the time I got a second chance to use the web, Netscape had taken over. It also crashed a lot, but still not as much as that first version of Mosaic.
Quick, let's start a distributed cracking effort so we can install Linux microcode inside the processor instead of the proprietary Intel code!
Seriously, though, there might be some small benefit to adding microcode that's tailored to the OS. Long ago, many IBM processors used to load OS-specific (or even site-specific) microcode to add instructions and thus optimise the size or speed of certain operations.
They got certification for more recent versions too. However, the certification is based purely on the system design. There was no code audit involved.
His role is effectively being replaced by a role in the Department of Homeland Security, and he failed to get that job. He didn't feel like sticking around being irrelevant. Well, that's my guess.
Sending via SMTP will require several round trips to the destination SMTP server, per message.
*snort* You really think spammers care about following the protocol? They probably just send all the commands at once without waiting for replies. In any case they can make many connections in parallel so the latency isn't that important.
That's the obvious way to send mail, but it's only half the answer. POP3 and IMAP are not well-suited for fetching a whole domain's mail. POP3 even requires you to poll, so it's totally wrong for an always-connected system.
For x86-64 the code size apparently stays about the same, because the additional registers reduce the need for register-memory transfer instructions. Data structures with pointers will all grow, though.
So what happens when an Employee becomes a Student too? Do you destroy the Employee and create a new EmployeeStudent, and then hunt down and replace the Employee references? What happens when you add more roles; do you create 2^n-1 sub-classes of Person?!
If you really need to model various roles of a person in a single system, then the identity should be separated from the roles and role-specific properties - Student and Employee can be concrete classes whose instances each refer to a Person.
I fail to see why it is so important that the human species, as distinct from its members, survives. If 10 billion people die on Earth, how does the fact that there are people living elsewhere make that less of a blow? They aren't substitutes for the people that died. In fact, if everyone dies at once from some bizarre and probably quick matter transformation then no-one will actually suffer, whereas if there are a few colonists left then they presumably will have had ties to the deceased and will suffer bereavement.
They're not rejecting every connection! However, for connections they reject (such as from my home connection), they wrongly send a 550 instead of a 554:
550-The IP address you're using to connect to AOL is either open to the
550-free relaying of e-mail, is serving as an open proxy, or is a dynamic
550-(residential) IP address. AOL cannot accept further e-mail
550-transactions from your server until either your server is closed to free
550-relaying/proxy, or your ISP removes your IP address from their list of
550-dynamic IP addresses. For additional information, please visit
550 http://postmaster.info.aol.com.
A status of 550 should only be sent in response to a command, not to connection.
An MSISDN number is a Mobile Subscriber ISDN number, and ISDN numbers are full international phone numbers (as specified in E.164). IMSI stands for International Mobile Subscriber Identity.
I think it is done this way now, but any block allocation system - like allocation of IP addresses, or disk blocks - will result in wasted addresses. The larger the blocks allocated, compared to the numbers of addresses typically needed, the more will be wasted. In some cases large blocks have been assigned to companies other than telcos that have little need for them, or to areas with very low population, but it may not be practical to claw them back later because numbers have been used throughout those blocks.
All dialling codes beginning 70-75 are allocated to personal numbers. That's double the range allocated to cellular phones, which is 77-79. (76 is for the few remaining pagers.)
Depending on the service provider for a personal number, it may be possible to have calls forwarded overseas without incurring roaming fees, You can also forward them to places where cellular coverage may be unreliable. Still, they do seem to be a niche service, except among dodgy businesses that distribute flyers...
Unfortunately number portability between service providers (as opposed to between networks) doesn't seem to work that well in practice. When I tried to switch service provider (from O2 Direct to Singlepoint) they wouldn't provide the same handset subsidy that they would for someone switching network or getting a new number, so I had to stay where I was.
I suppose you think everyone upgraded to Office XP already? I really don't see that. As for embedding fonts, can you really embed the whole font or just the characters that are being used? In the latter case the document is basically read-only, and you might as well use PDF or Postscript, both of which have supported font embedding for many years. So much for being 'up on the technology'.
Word format isn't even a reliable way to send documents between people who use Word. If they use different versions, or different fonts installed, then the formatting can go wrong, sometimes resulting in serious problems. (Actually, that link refers to use of RTF, but I think Word's RTF files are equivalent to Word's binary files.)
It seems to me that it ought to be possible to disable ptrace(2) on a system-wide basis, as it is likely to be a source of vulnerabilities and will rarely be used on a production box (AFAICS).

I believe there was serious work done on it, and some of the people involved now work for Transmeta.

I dare say you're right.
No, they could switch on at full speed after a reset, but allow the speed to be reduced by software.

There's no such thing as a 512-bit DES key. DES has a fixed key length, 56 bits.

The tokenising can be done with a very simple state machine, but the parsing requires a stack.

From what I've heard, Motorola has gone crappy since management went pointy-haired and stopped/em> listening to the engineers.
