Reading further down I see that I'm not the first to make this jest, however I'm serious in wondering if EV1Servers.net might not be one of the first licensees to eventually sue SCO.
If you really don't know, the IBM Selectric is an electric (not electronic, electric) typewriter. Although they probably came out with an electronic version later.
Somewhere around here I've got an approximately 20 to 25 year old issue of Popular Electronics or Radio-Electronics with an article on how to hack an interface into one to use it as a computer printer, the computer in question being something along the lines of a Sinclair or a TI-99.
Is there any chance that the powers that be behind the "owners" of these porn sites are the kind of people that have their own version of "family values" and are not the kind of people you want to have thinking that you have been cheating them, the kind that can easily reach out and touch someone inside a jail? Might law enforcement be the lesser of his worries?
That's what I've been wondering about. According to an article over at The Register he got from ten to twenty-five cents from the porno sites for every re-direction. I realise that the more you make on one customer the more you can spend per potential customer but how many kids that mis-spell Disney or Teletubby or whatever just happen to have access to a credit card or checking account number and how many parents looking for something for their kids are going to decide to postpone that search so that they can buy access to materials they probably won't be sharing with those kids? If the last step is "Profit!" the next to last is a big ol' question mark.
Beat it against a local oscillator set to a frequency such that the difference of the two lands between zero and 20 thousand cycles per second (Hz). It's called heterodyning and has been used to shift frequencies since the early days of radio if not before.
It depends upon exactly of what the dielectric is made as to whether or not freezing will cause expansion leading to things no longer being where they ought to be relative to each other inside the capacitor's case.
Of course dielectric recipes are big-time secrets, it was apparently industrial espionage that involved the stealing of one of those recipes, but not all of it or not the recipe that they were trying to steal, that resulted in a lot of electrolytics being manufactured with faulty dielectrics. This is supposed to be what caused the epidemic of "capacitor disease" that plagued so many BX chipset motherboards.
There's a reason that datasheets on products from some foreign company of which you've never before heard are printed on paper and not chiseled in stone.
Integrated circuits may be able to take temperature extremes but some capacitors can be harmed by freezing and solder joints don't profit from going from one extreme to another and back again either.
It isn't that the desktop change is worth quitting over, it's that it indicates a particular mindset on the part of the new overlords. In other words, things are only going to go downhill from here, the handwriting's on the wall, and it's resume dusting off time. I'm sure the new company will survive just fine, but working for them is going to be a guided tour of hell.
If you think Judge can't act perhaps it's because you never saw the episode where his character's body was inhabited by one or more of the other character's personality(ies). Yep, he was channeling Anderson's character. It was hilarious.
I'm just waiting for Billy G. to come out with a legal program (wills and probate and small claims and such) called Microsoft Lawyer and to then try to block use of the word by anyone else, including a certain somewhat litigious profession. Let the fun begin.

...which might not be such a bad thing after all, but what if there were a way to lock everyone out of all bathrooms, leaving them unable to go...anywhere! Now that's terrorism.
My own private theory is that this is somehow tied in with the new Stargate:Atlantis series.

My faith in SCO's wisdom and perception is so great that I'm sure the first company they sue will be EV1Servers.net :-)

Now you're just arguing "simant"-ics.
Yes, it is a stupid question. Janet Jackson wouldn't put those sorts of pictures of herself on her website, Justin Timberlake would put them there.

If you google for "Cheap PC Oscilloscopes" with the quote marks included all you get is a link to this article.

First word I thought of was hemlock.

My keyboard was thirstier than me anyway.

I think you're going to have a lot of white hair (if you don't tear it all out) before that boy's old enough to leave home.
You're new here aren't you?"
Here, in this case, being the U.S. of A.
Why does it not surprise me that of all the OEMs they could have gone with, TW cable manages to pick the one that's going to have technical problems?
fish, barrel, etc.

Didn't CB go from 23 channels to 40 back in the '70s with the additional ones on 49 MHz?

They're both too delicious to choose between, but, oh, to have the choice.
Shouldn't that be on top of his doghouse?
Are you sure you're wearing that thing the right way?
