Only been two Six Stars (General of the Armies), and it isn't exactly an official rank, the original George W and John "Black Jack" Pershing. George Dewey is the only person to hold the equivalent navy rank (Admiral of the Navies)
Prior to 1996, she could have only watched CNN or the big three, now she can choose between CNN, Fox, Bloomberg, MSNBC, CNBC, the big 3 and BBC in some places, whats the hell is your problem with people making a choice.
Maybe she realized how left-biased CNN is and she's voting with her clicker. Other peoples choices in news programs does not take your right to see/hear news delivered by your talking head of choice, unless of course they only draw eight viewers and get canceled.
On the flip side, do you think microsoft would publicise it if Windows Update had been hacked. OSTG/Andover/OSDN did with SourceForge, GNU did when their main archive had injected trojans. Letting end users install jack on a system is a risk, and no one wants to move to thin clients, so we are stuck with users installing questionable binaries on a system, unless the rapture comes and the only people left are responsible sysadmins who check their mate's GPG key before speaking to them in the morning.
You laugh but we actually have an amish client that has a webspace account with us. He sells horse/mule tack online, beautiful stuff too, traditional hewn timber, hand tanned leather, and hand forged iron.
Dr's Goddard and Von Braun would disagree, defense spending on their pipe dreams made everything from satalite coms to the voyager and pioneer probes possible. The Chinese space program is totaly dependant on ICBM bodies for their heavy lift capabilities, swap out on the payload and you have a good Apollo or Soyuz class lifter.
NFL owns a signifigant portion of both the big Arena Leagues (Arena and arena2), and NFL Europe, I think they have a small stake in the CFL as well. so unless you watch NIFL arena football (Go Lexington Horsemen!), don't count on Sega to have a licensed pro football game.
We've already caused the damage on hundreds of flood control dams in the mississippi river basin, very few of those dams have even a simple turbine for providing demonstration level power generation, much less a megawatt or larger generator.
I'd love to go all nuke, but people who don't understand the science have been making the decisions since 3 Mile Island, which has yet to have been proven to have any ill effect on the citizens of Pensylvania.
I was just the lab helpdesk, I had a 50 workstation lab on the graveyard shift, somedays, thinks would reclone fine, other days, no apps would come up. It was hit or miss, but considering the contract UK had with Novell, it should have worked and cooked us an omlet every morning.
And telephone as well, hundreds of Rural Telephone Co-ops are in the US because Ma Bell and/or GTE didn't want to provide service to small rural markets, like mine. Government subsidized loans to start, co-operative ownership, and now, the very best in services. We have a DSL, video, and Dial tone service that covers most of our service area (and we are expanding, dropping DSL heads every 12000' takes time), 80/month for 768/384, digital cable and landline phone is pretty good, plus you get a dividend check on any profits made by the phone company, I love it.
Umm, you have to migrate 10 years of excel spreadsheets and their VBA code to OO.org, and I'm guessing MSFT isn't going to code up an "export to python" option in Excel 2006, so someone from our end has to do it. Unless you feel like reimplementing 10 years of legacy code.
What's stoping OpenOffice/KOffice/Sun/IBM from cloning VBA for various office versions? I'm not that familar with VBA but it would seem like a VM for it shouldn't be that hard?
And have been laid off since, the core of Mozilla/Firefox developers no longer are AOL/TW employees, just like Nullsoft which has been stripped down like an Escalade in a chop shop.
You figure out how to write a (semi-)realistic virtual environment (Doom3/HL2 engine?) and design a proper "Human Interface Device" and you have a software/hardware solution that is patentable and has sex appeal.
But there's a lot more matter to transform into energy than we're going to ever need, if we could just figure out a way to sustain fusion on earth. The moon itself has enough mass to power the earth through solar death if we are talking about anti-matter/matter interactions as well, even accounting for the geometric rise in energy consumption humanity has strung together over the last 6 millenia.
We aren't (and won't if not bound by the GC) beheading journalists and draging civilian contractors (trying to turn electrical power back on) corpses down the street. We are better than those pigfsckers trying to kill us in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Which is why I'm all in favor of droping the GC if "the enemy" refuses to abide by the GC. If they want to put on uniforms under a flag, we'll let them have all the GC protections they want, until then, fsck 'em.
Can you get a Sun Support contract on that? Sorry, I'll pass, I like having the knowledge that if my datacenter gets hit by a metor, my replacement servers, spec'ed just like the contract, are on the truck ASAP. Restore last night's backup, and it's like it never happened, well, as soon as the guys from AT&T re-route my fiber through a crater.
How about being DDOS'ed to oblivion, if you restrict to IP's in the USA, you remove the Chinese, Korean, and Russian zombie farms that fill even my podunk site's logs with garbage traffic.

George Washington is the original George W, not GHWB

blood orgy blood orgy!
Hasbro's Axis and Allies begs to differ, ruined my 2+ week uptime on my normally rock solid stable XP Pro SP2 box yesterday
Yeah I work for these guys, but I'm also a user SCRTC
34.95/month for 2 streams of digital cable + 44.95/month for 768/384 DSL
Much better than that craptacular dish we had before, which went out every time the wind got above 20MPH or it rained.

Novell's Zenworks, which rendered 1000 NT4 PC's/night useless on a regular basis while I was in college.
Install Cygwin or Services For Unix, ls useable on windows systems, plus you get much better shell options (ASH/Bash, CSH, KSH)

On the plus side, they might take CNN and Time with them down the drain.
