Should I post up my up2date shutdown letters from RedHat up here? Or how about the harassment of having my account cancelled every couple months during 2003?
They might have restarted the service since I stopped paying attention but they really jerked those of us who were just using it at home around.
When deploying such a system, it would be configured as a standalone with an imaged hard drive, and updates would be transmitted via new hard disks.
Then one must consider "well, if there are no data inputs, what use is the system?" and you would be right. This was gotten around in various ways. One should note that DITSCAP overrides certification: if your system has a valid accreditation then its certification level is meaningless. Various ad hoc means are undertaken to make the system secure, whatever the underlying platform.
Amongst the things required to make Windows NT 3.5 C2 compliant were disconnecting the removable media, removing the network connection and disabling the OS/2, POSIX and DOS subsystems. Amongst other things.
After you were done doing this, of course, NT 3.5 was only useful as a kiosk. Most applications that would benefit from C2 certification in the past were 'stovepipes' that don't interact with other applications, so this was okay.
This isn't poking fun at MS. This is how it got certified. Then, they assumed that 3.5 being C2 certified meant NT 3.51 and 4.0 were. They were incorrect.
Are you really so certain that Alzheimer's and prostate cancer aren't self-inflicted?
Are you really so certain that all of those 'smoking related diseases' are really altogether related to smoking?
You were saying about know-nothing dweebs? It would seem that if you _didn't know_ you would keep your mouth shut. That is, if you weren't one of the former.
You're just a sore loser though. You made an idiotic statement and got called on it.
Smoking saves money. Maybe we should put a surcharge on non-smokers' insurance premimums to cover the extra expense incurred taking care of your Alzheimer's and your prostate cancer because you are going to be around 5 years longer, minimum.
That seems fair to me. We should be discounting smokes and encouraging smoking to cut down on health care costs.
What, you bought the big lie about 'smoking related medical expenses' that was the justification for the big tobacco settlement? The lawyers nationwide are having a laugh at your expense.
More extreme example: I have a hypothesis that jumping out of an aircraft at 30,000 ft. without a parachute is not survivable. If my theory is wrong I'll survive (which is good), however testing it would be bad should it prove to be true. Not testing this theory is then, perhaps, the best alternative.
Humankind will not terminate their economic development for the sake of a hypothesis. You have to show them some kind of real reason to do it. It has to be visible to all. Sensationalist movies don't count.
This is one reason I don't argue hard against the global warming zealots. They are destined to lose for this one simple reason.
I think the problem now is that the free net gaming spirit has died. It's death can be traced to 1994 when all the AOL idiots were released onto the Internet.
I note most of the work on current text mud drivers happened pre-1994, and whatever changes have happened in the past 11 years have been the result of small groups of devoted, insular coders who keep the ones that haven't died maintained. You'll find their mailing lists in various locations.
I would certainly be more inspired to work on a free graphical mud driver if the players weren't, in large part, such assholes.
Pretty much. I mean he admits it at the beginning. This stuff is not new, and if you want to know if a feature is going to work or not, one of thousands of text-based games has probably implemented it in the past.
Last I heard, Google was based in California, and subject to the laws of the United States. I'd tell the Brazilians to piss off.
Let them erect a big firewall like China does if they care so much. "Hate Speech" is just another term for the censorship of today's politically correct pseudo-McCarthyism.
Unquestionably they'll bend over and spread like the capitalist whores they are, though.
The average human life can be worth as little as $50k in settlement.
$2-4 million is only for a primary breadwinner, and taking into account their future earnings and the fact that they have children.
$100k was a fair sum that would be settled at for a negligent death in an auto accident, for instance.
I'm not suggesting you die to test this out, but you can rest assured that if you have dollarsigns in your eyes over a death through negligence, you're incorrect. It's actually much more expensive for an insurer to settle with a brain damage case than a death.
My grandfather died last winter, so he's out. Engineer at Western Electric from the early 40's on to 1987. My uncle is still at Lucent, he started at Western Electric in the mid-60s. If the grandparent pitches him an offer - who knows?
With the goo inside so you couldn't mess with them easily. The only problem is, do you want to use a pulse-dial phone which probably hooks to a four-prong adapter rather than a modular plug? If so, i'm sure you could get one easily.
Despite the fact that you are right, you're being disingenuous. If the world didn't have a routable wide area network protocol, one would be invented. Microsoft would have gladly licensed said protocol standard if they couldn't have had it for free.
I'm right there with you blaming Nixon initially, but there were many chances to alter the program - whether it was Ford, Carter or Reagan - they all had opportunities to rationalize the program.
The fact that none of them did gives each a measure of culpability, or more specifically makes their staffs culpable. Each had a political appointee at NASA who could have done something about it.

I won't deal with them anymore. I've moved on.
You get your foot in the door by having IT people who run it at home.
See the problem yet? I stopped using RedHat when they discontinued the free up2date. Now other distros come in the door with me.

No, it means they passed a Turing test.
Sorry, that was a PS/2 Model 95 that I wrenched my back on. That weighed a lot more than the 52 lbs that a model 80 did.
That's about how much a PS/2 Model 80 weighed. Solid steel case.
You were lugging this through an airport? Last time I picked one up I had to sleep on the floor for several days to straighten out my back.

Then again i'm getting old now (35).

I was taught how to navigate a boat the old fashioned way, and I still remember how.
It's like calculators and simple math. You should know how to do it if the batteries die.
Actually the grandparent was being nice with "planned". The word he was looking for was "Marxist".
NetBEUI.

Terraserver says yes.
It's a suite number, there are other businesses in the building.
Not to say that anyone is actually there, but there it is.
One example
Daemon News appears to be based out of this building.
Interesting area.

Find me another manned spacecraft that has an aircraft shape. Buran's only flights were unmanned.
Thank you for permitting my demonstration of your sophistry.
The Soviets solved this with Soyuz. I'm sure we could have arrived at a different solution.
