wow - that will make for a few years of work. Been 20 years since I've done wirewrap & breadboarding, with 6800 and Z80. Lately have been thinking of real circuit-building again and have been learning hardware description and simulation langauges. Been looking at all these FPGA popping up, might burn my own CPU someday....
The book that turned me on to computers at age 12 was "Programming the IBM 1620 - the Hands on Approach". I checked it out of the library 4 or 5 times to study it.
I started actually programming a year later with Z-80 assembler on a TRS-80 model 1. Never did like or write any BASIC.
First programming for pay: as a "summer student" was coding in Fortran under NOS on a cluster of Cyber 875 & 175, I think about 1983.
The only thing really new & cool since then is being able to own a computer or six, being able to talk to millions of other machines, and the return to Open Source software (the old computer makers used to just give the stuff away)
I fed the Cybernetic Poet the sonnets of Shakespeard, but constrained it to use only words still in use. The output mostly dealt with the sexual predilections of one "man from Nantucket", and a an oft-recurring phrase that "he said with a grin, as he wiped off his chin".
So you have an ongoing case with a typical slow tech support desk, they put you on hold for 40 minutes to 90 minutes at a time.....they put you on hold, you hide the phone, you do your "business", you come back to your phone,and later state "yup your honor, was on the phone with Ibhanan of the M****S**** help desk the whole time".......
(Disclaimers: this is a humorous thread of posting, a joke; all homicidal maniacs reading this should consider suicide as a far superior alternative to homicide. Also, M***S****'s help desk isn't slow enough 30% of the time to put one on hold for more than 40 minutes)
the FSF has already dealt with a couple GPL violators (e.g. FSMLABS), and they quickly caved in & complied rather than face suit over copyright law. I expect a similar thing will happen here. There are plenty of copyrights similar to GPL already in the field of literature.
I wonder how segregated things really are - I received a notice from my carrier to dial a number and perform certain keystrokes to "upgrade" my phone.......and it's a very basic Motorola phone. Couldn't something naughty be done this way?
"I'm not a lawyer" and "I'm talking out my keister-hole", but one doesn't have to wait for the U.S. Attorney to do anything, as a copyright holder you can bring suit yourself
I saw a 120VAC circuit fused at 30A that vaporized a half inch off the end of a #2 phillips screwdriver. you were nice to her; I would have had the fire department look at what her son had done & she would have been in a world of doo-doo. If she owns any other buildings, you might want to talk to the tenants to ensure she didn't do the same stupid thing somewhere else - that could get alot of people killed
I read a very simplified, dumbed-down explanation of how digital cellular telephony works, and even that was quite complicated - there's no such thing as a "dumb" digital cellphone, they have to have quite a bit of computing power to make them go (more than NASA used to get to moon).
IBM, Compaq and Sun are also onboard with Trusted Computing, and IBM has made Linux driver for TCPA chip. I therefor don't think TC means Microsoft only, but it might mean running flavors of Linux we don't like, or perhaps not being able to run a *BSD without a corporate backer.
you don't want to buy high quality video capture card & encode in mpeg-2 format? Anyway, I'll bet any movie released on laserdisc will be available on DVD sometime
Just put a claw hammer under your seat, that's your manual override for the windows & also might be effective in manually overriding the brains of any gangbangers or extortionist window washers that give you crap.
Most attackers, whether human or software, just run their attack with complete disregard for what the http header says.
The fortune 1000 companies are such very huge conglomerates, you would have to test dozens or hundreds of their constituent corporations to even have a vague idea of what web server dominates
In fact, having done some server surveys myself, I'm very tempted to run a second survey, as a followup to my first survey , to specifically do "a better job than Port80". .
funny I did this awhile back with class A, B and C addresses, and found that numerical IP space is very sparsely populated with servers on port 80 - I had to sample 1.5 million random numerical IP to find 4,000 HTTP servers. I only took header information, didn't do tcp packet analysis (though I'm tempted to do that next time I get the stats bug). See results here Disclaimer: this survey means exactly nothing and can't be used to prove anything.
In stark contrast, port 25 space is much more heavily populated, but over 50% of the servers were military and gave dire warning against even accessing them. I aborted this survey because most smtp servers don't identify what software they're running.
I just downloaded 9 for evaluation, and they're talking 10 already?? It's getting to feel like the hoopla for Linux kernel minor point releases... Anyway, every place I've ever worked at that has Sparc gear is running mostly 2.6 and some 8. Never saw 7 in production; I've got an unopned box of it on my shelf. Maybe if Oracle 10g takes off we'll see Solaris 9 & 10 out there more.........

this thing isn't even up to what a Turing machine could do, it doesn't have infinite memory.
I have a turing machine but I can't find the end of the tape to thread it up.

hard disk? CPM-86 with a MFM / RLL drive? or do they have drivers for newer disks?

not if he's there for a few hours. I'm talking +/- 800 kilometer accuracy
ditto for all that heavy army gear - had to be somewhere with alot of bedrock close to the surface. That's it, we invaded NE Alberta
actually, any geek worth his salt could tell he was in the area of arabia with his watch & the angle of the Sun.

if you're going to whack someone, first hide your phone in a restaurant a couple miles away....then you can "prove" you weren't at the crime scene.

violation of the GPL is a violation of copyright law, upon which the GPL is based - up to $150,000 for each infringement!

hmmm, are you Darl McBride's age? Maybe this is when he learned to deal with a losing hand by crapping on & spoiling other people's good time

Hey, you're ruining a good thing for the environment. if some computer geeks drink seawater & croak the caffeine levels in the ocean will drop
