Amendment XXII - Presidential term limits. Ratified 2/27/1951.
1. No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President, when this Article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.
2. This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States within seven years from the date of its submission to the States by the Congress.
It just won't happen. This is an FCC/Hollywood pipe dream. If it does actually happen this way, there will be revolution, trust me. There are people who can barely afford TV sets today, let alone taking that privlege away from them by forcing digital down their throats.
I used the pasco stuff in my HS physics class... the sensors (there are digital and analog) terminate into an interface box... which has a SCSI interface. We used Windows 95 back in the day for the client, but this stuff was originally written for the Mac (you could tell how poorly the '95 interface was harnessed during the port from Mac -> Windows).
Shoot, a few recycled Mac IIci's would do the trick...
He actually seems to know what he's talking about, unlike you, moron. I work in a radio station, and he's right -- it takes a LOT of money to start up(especially), maintain, etc a station.
(BSD's 4.2 TCP stack is in both windows 2000 and WinXP). Please correct me if I am wrong.
That is a fallicy. The truth is that the original version of WinNT contained a third party TCP stack; it turned out the people they bought it from stole it from BSD. The stack was then re-written.
The credit to the regents of the Univ. of Calif. in the Windows readme file is for the simple tcp/ip unix utilities (ftp, telnet, finger, etc) which are bsd code to ensure compatibility and similarity for unix folks when using the commandline on a windows box.
What makes me curious is how the hell this fits in "Your Rights Online..." This is Slashdot, not the ACLU discussion forum. Or has this become a pedistal for michael to spew his liberal propaganda. God damn they need to fire his ass.
FYI, where I worked, we rebooted our Novell boxes waaay more often than I ever rebooted mah 'lil IIS 4 server that happily sat in the corner serving out a couple of websites. Pretty much only after I applied a hotfix did I ever need to reboot.
Funny, this article comes complete with a 336x280 ad for Microsoft Small Business Server.
At the school I used to help admin at, we had a Netware 3.11 sever with an uptime around three hundred-something days (!). And you could still type "down" and exit to DOS!
Unfortunately we downed it to upgrade it to NW 5.x. That was the end of that.
I think that everyone on slashdot is confused. The.NET runtimes are NOT the.NET passport. They are two fundamentally different things, unfortunately that have the same name.
This is like saying that "the Visual Basic runtimes are not an essential component of Windows." That is a true statement, but what harm is there in having the runtime libraries already on there?!? None, it's just a conveinence. Do you think Joe Smith is going to fetch the runtime modules just so he can run XYZ app (mind you Joe knows nothing about computers, let along runtime libraries)? No, he just expects it to work.
Wrong. When compiling VC programs in VS.NET, IIRC, it does NOT use the msvc*.* dlls; instead it uses the.NET runtime modules. Just like Visual Basic programs can't run without the vbrun*.*, vb6*.* etc runtimes (they change names like every week),.NET apps can't run without the.NET runtimes. The only difference is that the application is now dependent on one set of runtime libraries, instead of individual ones for VC, VB, C#.
Yeah, according to Slashdot logic, EULAs don't apply when made for Microsft and Apple OSes, but when it's the GPL it's suddenly a super-duper legally binding "let's sic' em' cowboy!" situation.
I don't see how including runtime libraries for something COMPLETELY DIFFERENT from Java (i.e. what is stopping you from using Java?!?) is extending your monopoly.
Is there some reason that the article mentions that the Linux solution "beats" the Windows solutions, but everywhereonthe site the Windows servers (whether it be IBM's DB2 or MS-SQL) are the leaders of the pack many times over?
That article link is like something a politician would say. Do you realize that Oracle is optimized for UNIX? It never should have been ported to Windows. Such a comparision is akin to saying "Apache 1.x runs better on Linux than on Win32!" No shit, Sherlock. Anyone who looks at the top ten results will clearly see that the point this article is trying to make means jack as far as the real numbers go.
By the way, I hear the latest Linux kernel is better at running Linux programs than CygWin!

Dude, you've got issues. You give new meaning to the words 'moron' and 'asshole.' You give liberals everywhere a bad name.

You learned about copy protection. You had to buy that damn book (which incidentally came with the software) to find the fifth word on page 544. Grrr.
The 1/4 in plug goes into a box that outputs onto a SCSI interface. The pasco software was originally written for the Mac and ported to the PC.

No offense, dude, but you're a fucking idiot! :o)

So STFU.

I'll vouch for the first. The guy who designed and set up the LAN had his head up his ass.
That's a bad excuse. Ever see that episode of Seinfeld where George tries to transport the Frogger game w/o disconnecting it? :)

You don't have to 'agree' to it and you are not bound by it.
So if these people didn't 'agree' to the GPL, they are not bound to it, and can do whatever they want with the Linux source? Right.
Yeah, according to Slashdot logic, EULAs don't apply when made for Microsft and Apple OSes, but when it's the GPL it's suddenly a super-duper legally binding "let's sic' em' cowboy!" situation.
Yes, clearly there should be options to disable the standard Windows GUI APIs as well.
Yes, I'm waiting to replace my WinXP GUI with the "CDE theme." I prefer clunky over productive.
I don't see how including runtime libraries for something COMPLETELY DIFFERENT from Java (i.e. what is stopping you from using Java?!?) is extending your monopoly.
I couldn't resist.
How'd this get modded up to +3 Interesting?!? YHBT!
Then I think Solaris shouldn't ship with Java and Linux shouldn't ship with glibc.

Well, just look at what happens when you type in "Go to hell" in Google...
