Suing microsoft is about the dumbest thing in the world with all of the problems societies across the world face. Tax dollars and legislative time should be better spent on real issues not internet explorer and windows media.
Only Apple (and Steve Jobs) has the guts to throw out all the old garbage (X windows, the many start up daemons, unix copy/paste, gtk) and replace it with fresh new ideas (quartz, launchd, xcode).
What is wrong with you!? Unix copy/paste is the best thing that has happened to humanity since the lightbulb!
To answer the question: When they're older and actually have use for such an expensive machine. Till then, build em a decent desktop for a fraction of the cost.
Much too easy to get rid of, just create a heap of artificial space junk and send it towards the weapon and it's a gonner. Naturally it will create even more space junk than there already is so it's a really bad idea, but heh, so is space weapons.
Seriously, some times goto can be a whole lot better than the alternatives. Try bailing out of some 5 levels of loops without goto and you will see what i mean.
I was waiting for someone to do this. Piping to awk is a HACK. You're parsing text and assuming the memory consumption is always the 8th column. Which it isn't always. Not having to parse text is one of the reasons MSH is so great.
In everyday administration use i don't care if some obscure implementation doesen't put RSS in that column, why would that be of concern when the system I'm entering the command on does?
You hollow out the asteroid, re-enforce the walls, fill it with air and spin it. It will only really work with the tougher Iron asteroids, though, the weaker "rubble piles" won't work.
There's too much solar radiation for that scheme to work:-/
It's the same logic as "What if i accidentally drop four kazillion transistors and they just happen to organize them self into a psychotic killer cyborg out of pure coincidence?".
I'm surprised so many mail systems are even allowing 50MB+ eMails going out.
In 2003 it was my job to fix the innumerable bandwidth problems in our department's email system. Daily we were going through hundreds of MB of data (sometimes gigs) when the amount should have been in the range of 10MB a day.
It turns out several of the managers had subscribed to an MP3 distribution mailing list, which is bad enough. One in particular would send out forwards of mailing list posts with the mp3 attachments to everyone in one of his contact lists with "hey listen to this one!" messages.
Oh, but it gets worse... Rumors are circulating of an infamous SMTP server that supposedly existed many years ago, one that bounced messages that were too big, attachments included. So if you sent a big message through one of them to another it would bounce it back to the first one, which bounced it back to the second one, which bounced it back to the first one etc.
I didn't have internet the first 5 years or so of my computing life. And thanks to that i didn't get access to any games. And thanks to that i could concentrate on learning some basic programming skills instead =)

Ahem... tax euros.

Insert the obvious buffering joke here
Cheese.
Sure could use some of that just about now ;)
Easy to read and write, slightly bloated and a real bitch to parse without external libs?

Floppies work everywhere! What's so unportable about them?

ps vOr
not
ps v0r
Subtle difference, it's not a zero, it's a capital o.

... but still I miss a few of the features of Linux such as a fully fleshed out command line interface. What exactly am I supposed to do?

$ ps vOr
List processses, order by memory consumption, saving 52 keypresses.
If you absolutely -must- sort out those that have less than n mem usage, try
$ ps vOr | awk '{if ($8 > 15000) print $_ }'
Still 15 less characters than your example...

Yes! Then you can create your army of genetically superior copies of yourself with nothing but a dead badger!
There's nothing wrong with a sturdy screen, in fact I like my screens big. Those anorexic LCDs! Hah! Just skin and bones.. er. oops.
Actually, your telnet implementation might have bugs, so you'll have to write your own to guarantee your safety.
