The congress did nothing at all to punish the perps who conquered China in the late 1940s. They'd prefer to scold Yahoo execs than to actually go so far as to wag a finger at the Red Dynasty.
I'd argue WAFL is just the filesystem equivalent of KeyKOS.
Could you elaborate on that? Does WAFL make all objects on disk identical in size, and leave it to higher-level code to decide on further organization? Does WAFL have a capability architecture a'la KeyKOS?
Seems like the prosecutor's going to have quite a tough job meeting the "beyond a reasonable doubt" standard. Based on what I've seen so far, if I were on that jury, I'd say he probably did it, but probably isn't good enough to convict.
Texas has a lot of other things going for it, too. Lots of available space already built-out during the dot com boom, reasonable tax rates, some beautiful beaches...
A friend of mine who worked in communications in the Navy in the 1970's told me that the great thing about paper tape is that if it gets blown overboard, you can fish it out with a grappling hook, hang it up to dry in your engine room, and it will still read.
I remember an article by Steve Ciarcia about how to make a camera with memory chip that wasn't actually designed to be a sensor, IIRC. That was back when Byte magazine was a must-have (it started to go down the tubes when they let Jerry Pournelle start his column.)
I risk going off-topic here, but people whom most would describe as 'rock huggers' exist already. They wish to prevent rock climbers from climbing on certain rock faces.
Well, most rock climbers I've ever seen could easily kick the rock-huggers' asses, so it sounds like a non-issue to me.
When asked about the incident, and EMI executive reportedly said "what's the big deal? Everybody does it! I mean, if the bands just charged reasonable prices, we wouldn't have to steal their suff, would we? I mean, come on!"
Well, Leopard's great, but topping vista isn't much of an accomplishment. The Llonghorn disaster was obvious for many years, just like Office Vision at IBM, or Copland at Apple. Vista isn't longhorn, it's a 1 1/2 year rush-job of an update, trying to distract the customers and investors from the magnitude of longhorn's failure.

"CP/M came with all this "file system" stuff"
Say what?
We had filesystems in the mainframe and minicomputer world long before Kildall came along.

ADC seeding and customer seeding are not the same thing. Different departments, different purposes.

Long before "Vista" was the name of the Windows version formerly known as Longhorn
Sorry to nitpick, but Vista isn't longhorn. Longhorn cratered. Vista is a 1.5 year rush-job face-saving measure.

Pity about the extremely low density, though.

Illinois is one of the most anti-gun states
Sounds like a great reason to locate a data center in Texas.

If you looked at the sky through a telescope and saw a tiny robot mining plant there,
If I could do that, I'd be asking who built that telescope and whether I could afford one. I'd love to have optics of that quality.

Sorry, but honestly, Apple could develop better stuff than Adobe.
So can three guys in a garage, frankly.
Making better apps isn't hard. Overcoming the tremendous inertia of photoshop and acrobat users is something else altogether.

Sure, because it matters that the drivers are called "APE" rather than something else.
