you're right, getting the recipe is the easy part, building a 100 million dollar bottling facility will be a bit harder (use of $10M RSA machine to get that funding by taking $250 from 400,000 intercepted credit card numbers will likely get you noticed!).......ditto for cost of hiring teen idol to push your product!
The patch which was supposed to fix this issue can be undone by other patches......that very much IS Microsoft's fault. Once again we can thank them for wasting tens of millions of dollars of corporate time (if not more). I think a class action lawsuit for this might have some merit (unlike the nimda/code red where a working patch that couldn't be overwritten by a later patch *was* available before the worms hit).
yup, I've *heard* of them on Linux, but haven't seen one yet in five years. On SunOS and Solaris, I've *had* them caused by SCSI problems and bad memory (which could kill any OS, of course).
I do run custom kernels of stable releases after waiting about 3 weeks to see if they're dangerous. 2.4.20 has been sweet thus far;)
compiled COBOL with ISAM will kick the butt of any modern sissy SQL DBMS, and it's then only natural they should use RPG-II for reporting. Will only take just a wee bit more typing to code everything, but you just can't get any more feeling of accomplishment than seeing your source code is larger than your compiled executable.
Actually, the WHOLE movie is on Mylar(r). Mylar(r) is DuPont's registered trademark for a polyester film. poop here on mylar being polyester film, and poop here on its use in photographic/movie/audio tape/film
It was an "automatic expulsion offense" in my college to possess locksmithing tools in the dorms.
Of course, there's nothing new or unknown about master key system patterns.....the slashdot linked article is silly. A good locksmith doesn't even need to play with master keys & patterns. My uncle was a locksmith and could pick 8 pin "extra security" locks when his customers needed it
Anway, what fun did you have with your master key?
No, Sun paid for their System V R4 license (as has IBM, HP, SGI, DEC before they were bought, etc.etc.) I've been trying to search for a list of ALL the Unix vendors that bought it from AT&T or Novell or SCO....
Good thing I know how to make a good Chicago deep dish pizza from scratch
I doubt even widespread use of microwave EMP weapons would destroy all electronics everywhere.....and there's more than enough computers laying around far from cities if we need replacements (and I can port mainframe COBOL to microfocus COBOL on Linux/SCO/whatever if any Banks/Markets needs that service after The Big One)
EMP won't hurt crops, nor old tractors, nor the 30 - 50 year old canning machines that the established factories use.....why would the supermarkets be empty for long (just long enough for trucks/trains to replace their ignition systems with parts from warehouses far from large cities (or convert to older ignition system)??
nevertheless, they had a net LOSS of $2.7M last quarter, they've gone from over $110 a share to $1.44 in the last 2 years, even after a REVERSE split of 4:1 to keep the share price up (without that it would be 36 cents a share)........as the hecklers & bashers on the popular stock message boards would say "THIS PIG IS GOING DOWN!!!!"...or "STICK A FORK IN IT, IT'S DONE"
It is a good solid Unix for 386 machines, but of course Linux and FreeBSD and Solaris x86 is eating its lunch.
4. Sections of stolen uncredited GPL & BSD & SCO IP are found in the Microsoft source code...SCO, Stallman & the Regents of University of California Berkely sues Microsoft & make $$$$.
I did some reading, and yes, they indeed do still use them, and they of course still have a system for "compensating the compass" for cancelling magnetic effects of the hull. There is a profession called a "professional compass adjustor", which commerical & naval vessels often employ, one company I was reading about had even adjusted the magnetic compass aboard USS Nimitz, Captain's Nautical Supplies
ooooh, but the deBeers cartel is going to be pissed off if we make something huge needing the tensile strength of a diamond with the mass production of the obvious material. If we start on that thing, the director of NASA better check his car engine before starting it....
Do commercial freight ships even use magnetic compasses any more....I've seen them in museums, with the large iron balls to compensate for the hull of the ship....but I thought the norm nowadays was gyroscopes and GPS???
big near-top-of-the-food chain animals like bison (and I suspect sharks too) don't really serve any purpose to keep earth's ecology going. Now large scale changes to ocean's plankton and small fish populations, now that's something serious about which to worry.....
How are sharks essential to health of oceans? Seems to me larger concern is cause of the declining numbers....is their food supply diminishing drastically, or is it just the result of human hunting and also killing as side-effect of fishing? I would have thought sharks an indicator more than essential in themselves. Going to do research on that right now.....
If one confines oneself to a subset of what some languages allow, one can do functional & relational programming in many modern languages...often with less typing & easier maintainability in a collaborative context than LISP.
BTW, I was paid to professionally code LISP in a non-academic occupation for over 7 years.
If you have a page with embedded images, calls to cgi programs, etc. the browser will make a request for each one....so one page might generate a dozen requests to the web server, for example. I'm surprised their ratio was so *low*...
for the "slashdot effect"....if nothing else, this article gives me a good idea of number hits / time period. My little domain's web server runs on a 70MHz sparc 5, and I wondered what it could take if only serving *static* pages (which most of mine are)........so if I put an article on there with a 100k or less page and submitted to slashdot...hmmmmmm, maybe
or at least Microsoft's marketing stooges have everyone confused now about whether.net means an OS or a library or a language or a framework.....that's certainly one way of unifying OS & language.
I don't know...remember the "dead mac" icon with sad frown and its eyes X'ed out that would display upon catastrophic system failure? Somehow I imagine that icon popping up on the screen of the robotic surgeon just as the patient flatlines!

Linux also has some System V type system calls (like shmat & company), some of them overlap with POSIX specs.
