Usenet/Fidonet (circa 1982....And it was free (no long-distance charges).
That may have been the case in the USA and some other countries, but certainly in the UK, we enjoyed the benefits of 300 baud comms together with the accompanying phone bills- no free local calls then.
Hey Murdoch, I am a UK BBC licence fee payer and I have no problems with what the BBC is doing with my cash with regards to their news provisions, especially their excellent news Web site.
You don't like what they are doing with my cash? Tough - if you don't like it, get another job.
Get a plain writing book with acid-free paper and each write a personal story, message, commentary etc. Attach photos on stable stock paper together with personal items such as a slip of wallpaper or slither of wood etc. from her first bedroom, a dried flower from the garden, small items that conjure up the day/year she was born etc.
Store in a sealed box in a dry, safe, dust-free environment
Much more unique, personal and tactile./Even geeks need to know when to stop
No no no - you have got it all wrong - this has **nothing** to do with 'marketing'
Consider this: you are on/., where it's "news for nerds". Marketing is not for nerds and so there must be a technical element to the article.
Now, as per/. protocol, I DNRTFA, so I can only extrapolate from the headline that "Windows 7 Igniting Touchscreen PC Market" means that touchscreen PCs are using Sony Li-ion batteries and that somehow the Windows 7 power management code is causing them to spontaneously combust.
Their next project is a 33,334-outlet power strip capable of holding that many wall warts without either crashing through the floor or shearing off the faculty wall.
Just think what might happen if Apple got the patent on these suckers and brought them to market as the personal implant - the IThink?
Imagine waking up morning and Ithinking "I'd like to fall in love today", so you make a mental link to the App Store and download "Love" for £1.95. On your way to work, you spot someone that takes your fancy, so you make a quick connection and download Flirt for a further £2. Things go well: Entertain £2, ShowYouCare £3.30, Intimate £10. A while passes and you're happily married (or have both downloaded LiveInSin-Noshame), so Broody is added to the bill.
What a wonderful life..well, if you download 'Harmony'
Do you not think that the issues at the heart of your (very valid) concerns are now being addressed - albeit a little later than they should have been?
I think the situation with CentOS's command and control structure merits monitoring for a short while to see how things settle down.
FWIW I have around 10 servers running various versions of CentOS and am keeping an eye on developments.
Here I am in my sickbed writing rsync scripts for cross-site backups between CentOS-based servers, and seeing the headline made me smile, in-between fits of coughing.
If by some amazing chance Karanbir Singh see this - I promise to rack up the dual Itanium server for IA64 testing and dev as soon as I get back to work and clean up a few other outstanding issues.
Maybe we should just move all companies and their fusion experiments to one, single 'fusion science park', with each building next to each other in a ring. We then use large bulldozers to smash all the buildings towards the centre at the same time and see what happens?
I loved my VAX 11/750 - especially when the DEC commissioning engineer forgot to screw the feet of the disk pack unit to the floor and we both had to make a grab for it when it 'took off' across the computer room as soon as the system test started a sequence of random head movements.

"Carrying water to the moon costs $100,000 a kilogram"
Yes, that's what happens when you fly to the moon with Ryanair and buy your water onboard.
How do you pronounce "(R)" then? I suggest a tame, 'lion-like' 'raawwwwr', so in speech, we should be saying:
"The image was enhanced using Adobe-raawwwwr Photoshop-raawwwwr software."

Meh, us Linux users sneer at your pathetic Windows barrows. We put our stuff in SSH tunnels.
That's pretty neat - but, ooooh, I can feel the burn-in from here!

Place subject in bedroom and tell subject you are leaving for an 'evening out' in 10 mins.
If subject does not emerge from bedroom, ready within the next 20 mins, subject is female.

OK, let me just Tweet that: "Gotta go - going back to work now"
I thought xenophobia was a fear of virtualised environments?
As a test of mental strength, now try NOT to visualise a cesspool of butterflies.
Are you sure it's as low as three people who understand the ribbon interface?
Resistance is futile...you will be... furnished.
Jeez, your life must be one peachy rose garden if all you have to worry about is a logo and icon that appear sucky to you.
Ha - thanks for that. I'll live!!
Signed off at the moment so lots of time to 'do stuff' at home.
Two other 'urgent' projects crashed my plans for the Dell server but I'll let you know when I get back on track.
Glad to see things seem to be moving in the right direction for you and the rest of the core team.
