After that they are going to sign their goddamn names on the goddamn front page of the functional spec, and we're going to build it.
So what do you do when they don't sign it? They'll obviously know what you're trying to do and see the handcuffs coming. I've never gotten anyone with any kind of power to give it up that easily.
I used to work for a place that had an inherently funny product name: xbat. Dumping core was considered inherently funny too. I used to have people rolling on the floor with the line "Xbat just dumped core." My girlfriend didn't think it was funny either... (Neither did the customers.)
Between the Central Offices, the connections are digital and multiplexed. The amount dedicated to each channel is 64k with 8k used for switching information. So while it's possible to run better than 56k over a phone line pair (DSL does it at least for limited distances), once you hit the CO, the 56k limit comes into play.
The double standard is pretty much based on the fact that one group is open and up front about the problems that they (and we all) face, and the other group is in denial...
Scientific American has this article as well. I admit, i'm still scratching my head over it after reading it when i got the paper version last month...
The photograph you mention is an interesting example of the propoganda we promulgated during the Cold War. It's presented as someone doctoring a photograph of Stalin making a speech; in the undoctored version, someone (Trotsky, i think) is standing next to Stalin, and in the doctored version, he's gone. In the examples i've seen of it (the last one i remember was in a relatively recent copy of USNews), they were actually 2 separate undoctored pictures (other people were in different positions). While it's an example of Stalin manipulating his message, it's also an example of the US manipulating their message.
The US government was to move to OSI by the early '90s, but that didn't seem to happen and OSI is truly dead.

Actually, yeah, refining of bronze and other metals were pretty much controled by governments (such as they were). Libertarianism is a pretty recent invention...
actually, the movie i think you mean is Colossus: The Forbin Project, and it was from 1970. surprised me too 'cause i saw it in the '70s and i thought it was a '50s movie even then...
I'm currently working for a company where the training philosophy is summed up as "If you need to be trained, find another job.". Of course, their design philosophy kind of gets summed up along the same lines...

I tried to call for support from SCO once. You'll need it even if they _DO_ stay in business...

The article doesn't mention language processing either, and i'm hard pressed to see how it fits in. Generally a pretty pathetic post all around...

All those books you hate because you _have_ to read them are actually pretty good when you _want_ to read them.
National Radio Astronomy Observatory in Greenbank, WV. I make a pilgrimage every year or so. I generally just do the self guided tour (ab't 2 miles).
the difference between the state-owned corportations and the corporate-owned state? the difference between communism and fascism (ie. not that much).

The website has a number of links to places who prohibit or require permission for linking. Is the irony of this intended?
