He does know how to use commas. That's usage by the way, not grammar. How well he adheres to rules of grammer and usage and whether or not he knows what he's talking about are two separate and distinct issues.
Assuming 100% accuracy of whatever frequency measurement equipment you used. Just because the computer itself says it's running at a particular speed doesn't necessarily make it so. All it has to work with are local oscillators and real-time clock chips. My cheap digital watch keeps time better than any PC I've ever worked with. Come to think of it, the 8088's did better than anything since.
I think you are missing the point to why 99.999% of the people buy computers. It isn't to spend countless sleepless hours tweaking/etc files or pouring through video card and monitor docs to make sure settings will work under Windows 3.1/95. If my time was figured at minimum wage and Microsoft gave me the software AND the hardware free they'd still owe me.
Why not make this a once a month event? First month's publicity attracts people who missed hearing about it beforehand, second month's publicity attracts people who didn't know there was a non-MS choice unless buying an Apple, pretty soon we could be talking snowflake becomes avalanche.
So is history being re-written to claim that Heafner coined the word playboy? Do they think they own the word now? Even MSN returns a bunch of mineral related stuff if you search for "slate". Is "Playboy Magazine" paying anyone to have their search engines include them, or to move them closer to the top of the list than they would be otherwise, or are they just looking for a free ride?
you can look at it either way. The manufacturers need to feel a greater demand for it than they do now. Wouldn't it be easier for the people who know exactly how the hardware works to write a driver for an OS for which they can get the source than the other way around?
Obviously it's due to someone just like me (except for their being talented, experienced, and knowledgeable) who is also frustrated by growing "things to read on slashdot/hours in the day" ratio. How 'bout a Reader's Digest Condensed version? Squishdot?
Funniest thing I've heard since Pat Robertson went on the Today Show about ten years ago pimping his then current book where he claimed that the breakup of the Soviet Union was a communist plot.
...and call it "Take it with a grain of" Salt Lake City? They do have an economy model for only 2 million. Maybe one of the AC's who're as rich as they are brilliant will put one on their AMEX card and report back to us on how well it works. Be the first one on your block. Operators are standing by. (I've still got the articles on building that RCA computer around here somewhere, BTW, but I was strictly into analog back then).

This article appeared on the front page, rather than just in the business section, of the (Raleigh, N.C.) News and Observer, which is published in the capital city of the state, which is in the Research Triangle Park area, where a whole bunch of computer, bio-tech, pharmaceutical, and other big-time companies have headquarters or important branch offices. Also there are 3 major universities in the area (THE University of North Carolina, Duke, and North Carolina State University). So, In spite of a few mistakes and inaccuracies, this is a Good Thing.
The use of the phrase "from the publisher to the subscriber" leaves slashdot out. None of us subscribe, AFAIK. About a month ago I had to obtain a trial subscription to Slate in order to read one little article. I can read all the slashdot I've got time for without ever subscribing and I don't even have to give a name or address to post replies.
But what if someone had already copyrighted the phrases "weenie wiggle" and "weenie wiggler"? The thought of a patent on a "weenie wiggler" is somewhat frightening if you stop to imagine just what sort of device that might be, or how it might misfunction.
At one time a, b, and c was the correct form and somewhere in the 50's and/or 60's it changed to a, b and c. That was in the U.S. of A., your nationality may vary. It's really annoying to study the proper use of the language in school when they change the rules from one grade to the next.
As I recall, somewhere in the original Star Trek they said that the StarDate calender started counting with the first moon landing. Maybe we could do something like that with 01/01/00. But depending on what happens that day will future sci-fi shows start out "...FubarDate 90210.7.."?
With 2 bytes you get storage of 2 ascii characters (the first of which is from the range 0-9 and the second of which is from the range 0-9)entered by hu-mans into places in databases and such, often with another (full line - 2 characters) per record, and this was back when "RAM" was assembled by hand out of teeny tiny ferrite toroids and wires.

me want to be professional writer too.
You're talking about the great leap in price, right?

Now we know why the iMac looks like it was designed by a cartoonist.
I figured Katz would be jumping on the Geek Cinema bandwagon when I saw this story

but I guess his "find all occurrences of the word 'geek' on the internet " TSR somehow overlooked it.
(read story at least as far as "buffer overflow" remark)

Isn't there a fire code in that city?!?

If you think about it, any inhabited planet even remotely like this one is probably named something that translates to "dirt".

I fear he may be right about feature creep leading to bugs. Look no further than Microsoft for a perfect example.

I have this vision of the people at the Patent Office buried under mountains of IBM patents related paperwork
