I sense an "Ongoing bullshit senario" here. Years on the farm has taught me that anything with this much synergy in it just has to be agricultural grade fertiliser.
That is what you say. However, there was an mpeg of him saying it readily available from most OS/2 BBSes. I am sure someone has a copy.
Don't forget, when he said that, no one, not even Bill, could afford 640k. Early PCs shipped with 64k.
Before the PC, we bought computers with 4k! (Yeah, OK, that was words, because bytes were not invented, so 8K really.) I dont mean home computers, I mean machines like the PDP8, DG Nova, TI 990, HP 1000 and their many competitors. Really - the standard programming environment was "4k Fortran". AND the software that ran on those machines could PAY FOR THE MACHINE IN A WEEK!
Slightly later than the above senario (approx 1980), My mother (also a programmer) bought a house with 8 bedrooms in Islington (Where Tony Blair lives) for the same money my employers paid for a PDP11/60 with 1/2 MB of RAM, and two 40MB disk drives. (About the same power as a 386, but still able to support 12 users well.)
That's like charging $20,000 for a car, but asking for another $5,000 if you actually want umm...err... wheels
When did you last buy a new car?
Check the Mercedes catalogue - wheels (steel or alloy), steering wheel (wood, plastic, leather), and even paint (standard finish - $700 or the metallic finish $1400) are extras. The catalogue price is $30,000, but by the time its on the road, its $55,000! And that is still without twin SUN servers in the boot!
But does this generalise out? Maybe these people are all related and have a family tradition of eating something that boosts their IQ? Or working with dangerous farm machinery that is prone to killing tenage boys with low IQ? (see Darwin Awards)
Environment is very largely inherited. Of course I have not RTFA, but it would appear from the original posting that ScuttleMonkey does not ave this gene! being marked at 20 approximately 20 points
I wasted well over 400 hours getting 180 solutions sh*te out of my family's computers. Their stuff resists Spybot search and destroy and AdAware.
180 complaining is in the same league with Sadam complaining that he is being prosecuted. These are the kind of people for whom cruel and inhuman torture are just too lenient. If I had any say in it, anyone who works for 180 would be battered to death with a spam can, then hung at Tyburn, and very publicly drawn and quartered. To an accompanyment specially composed classical music.
If there is a US department of homeland security, why the f*** are these people not in Guano bay? Where is GW when you need him? Where are the G-men, the National Guard? The Mafia hit men? Columbian drug enforcers? What is wrong with the USA of today?
Presumably those nice GM people (not the car ones) plan to modify something happy to live in your house so you can power your mobile phone with the oxygen. This is what will get (via passenger's clothes) on to planes.
As to fast enough to make a plane crash, in the original story, whose name I forget, having last read it before jfk was assassinated, it eats the insulation off the wires which is not only fatal, but prevents mayday messages cos the radio needs wires.
I think the story was written by the same guy that wrote about planes crashing from metal fatigue shortly before the DeHavilland Comet actually did. That story was definitely written before 1960.
It turns into hurricanes in New Orleans, and Tornados in Texas. I am surprised you haven't noticed already.
More specifically, for hurricanes to occur, the surface of the sea has to be hotter than 30C (maybe its 32, I forget). This is a BINARY SPLIT - over Tcrit you get a hurricane, under Tcrit you don't. Thus a good solid one degree hotter, and there won't be time between hurricanes to rebuild NO.
And don't forget Tsunamis. The media are going round saying "it was plate tectonics wot done it". I agree that they are necessary for it to happen, but a few billion extra tons of water in the ocean is definitely going to increase the forces on the bottom of the ocean, just like it causes earthquakes when morons build excessively large reservoires above hydraulic power dams.
I know some people put their fingers in their ears and sing "La, La, La" but it doesnt make them right!
Those of us that are older will rmember that before the 1950's we actually DID spread soot EVERYWHERE. This was done by burning coal in open hearths.
It lead to global acid rain, and a hell of a lot of deaths. We could also skate on reiers in England in the winder, which we have not been able to do since.
It looks to me like the whole matter is a lot more complex than some people think.
Dont forget, the gulf stream, and its return path, don't only take heat from the carribean to the UK, removing it from hurricanes in New Orleans, but also return cold water at the bottom of the Atlantic, and ech of these effects is in its own positive feedback loop, so the combined effect is magnified many-fold.
While "the day after tomorrow" showed it happening much faster than it is likely to, the effects may well be as profound. Fortunately, I have some nice warm winder clothes for sale, see e-bay:-)
If you have trade secret to guard, which stupid company will ever develop an open source driver for its product?
If your livelihood depends on no one being able to reverse engineer a device driver, then you better take an evening course in agressive begging.
Just because you release the API doesnt mean you reveal how the hardware works, just how to control it.
The real reason that companies do't like to open source their device drivers is because the code is so sh*tty that they are embarrassed. I should know, I have spent over 30 years developing device drivers for Un*x and Windows.
(Frequently the real reason is that the companys legal team is anally retentive, and has a limited grip on reality - but they are still the legal team).
I want Pagemaker, cos I have a ton of work I did for clients with it that I dont want to lose, and I hate booting a Win box just for that.
However, I am a FreeBSD user, and I want a FreeBSD version of Pagemaker. (And Photoshop) And I would pay $100 for either. And thats FreeBSD on UltraSparc I don't use Dell boxes.

Theft by the government is still theft in my books. I know Tony Blair differs.
And the No 3 reason... Mummy wont let me play CDs in the computer cos the rootkit trashed it last time!

Never let the truth get in the way of a good story - An Editor near you.
However, NOBODY needs vi or emacs. Especially if they use DBCS. (Or TECO).
The newer processes make smaller chips, and hence you get more per wafer. No foundry is going to crank up an old process for one customer.
If the chip is not one in current volume production, it must still use current technology to be economic.

You can also say "critical mass" and "synergy but it doesn't make it a good idea!
You have the password to frogger? I've NEVER been able to figure that one out!

As described in a 1950's science fiction story.
I would really like to have an IPX format UltraSparc III system.
Even more if FreeBSD would support UltraSparc III!
Does this mean we can look forward to a Hollywood movie in which Sony Corp is hung from the yardarm? Kule!
They are PHBs, you insensitive clod, its pointless trying to tell them anything!
