A PC of today is cheap, there's tons of suppliers to choose from, the spare parts are available all over the world. Why wouldn't they choose a normal PC over an outdated 8080?
Using Java or.net also makes it easier to create programs that doesn't crash, when the amount of services increases in the ATM, and it's probably harder to run Java or.net on an 8080.
My _guess_, since I haven't actually read the book, is that it discusses common security practises rather than strange bugs in specific software. I also guess that these security issues are already known among evil-doers.
I'd be really impressed if they manage raise money from investors for the research.
It might ofcoruse help to introduce the investors to the results of the beer discovery, empirically and with enough samples to be on the statistical safe side, before signing the contracts.
"While the pair's finding will be invaluable to barroom betters across the globe it also has legitimate scientific value in the area of fluidized beds, the mixing of solid particles with liquids and gases, which has industrial and engineering applications."
It's amazing what people do come up with to get an excuse for drinking beer.
The other sock in the washing machine, pencils, remote controls and other stuff that sometimes vanish from the surface of the earth. My bet is that they end up in space.
As long as everybody involved in the calculations agrees on the metric system. Otherwise the module will end up on a back yard, after going through the earth first.
_I_, on the other hand, think it is great that Microsoft finally focus on security, as long as the developers still can use their ordinary development tools to conform with the security guidelines/policy.
Once upon a time, people had visions that TV could be used to educate people, make them engaged in politics and to provide unbiased direct footage from news events.
Just like today's TV. Except that education has become entertainment, political debates are instead talk shows and the news service is a high-speed, surface-scraping populistic single-sided projection of the moral of the owners.
According to the official fan site IT has been "A #1 New York Times bestseller", which means that Stephen King must have made some money from it.. And he was American.

... mean that you can get a harddrive from an old speaker?
Well, some people try.
Here's a sketch of how to build a self-contained waterfall.
Actually it is a palindrome, although the spelling is rather poor backwards.
Bicycles my friend, powered by bicycles.
Google to the rescue

Maybe you can classify it as partial reincarnation or perhaps scattered possession?

Or, I just failed to get the joke

Sounds like the reality for some people, aven today
I think the question is whether this device works in reverse too... Matrix anyone?

It's maybe possible to save ram by compiling stuff you don't need as modules, like:
:)
* IE
* The clipper thingie in office
* The animated, fading menues from the start button
And other stuff which obviously live in the kernel
Can you ever get a perfect Gollum? He didn't exist in the first place; everybody that has read the book have their own mental picture of the creature.
:p
As for the CG effect.. Tolkien maybe meant him to be a sketchy character..

You ought to have some occational challenge, it keeps your brain sharp ;).
Some distros let you vote on stuff that you think should be fixed if you do have the money, but not the time or energy to fix things yourself.
There's a lot of positive side effects with that tactic:
1) The computer will be secured no matter what OS you install
2) You'll get smaller electricity bills
As long as your closet is above earth level, the computer will also be reasonably safe from being infected by worms too!

Or what do you think?
Put up money, get screwed.
Sound like an old business concept that still works.
I know.. I just couldn't resist.. ;)
