The other day, I was just explaining to my wife why I won't even look at a Sony this summer, when we have to buy our daughter a laptop for college.
The explanation was simple. "I'm boycotting Sony. Remember last year when I told the girls to check with me before playing any CDs on their computer? That was because of Sony."
Those weren't the plans for the hyperspace bypass, they were the plans for the bypass being built in England by the local board, of which Mr. Prosser was the representative.
The plans for the Hyperspace bypass were on display at Alpha Centuri.
While I know that a tech can look at any file on the computer he/she wishes, this doesn't mean there's no expectation of privacy. If I let someone into my house to fix the drain, that doesn't mean it's OK for them to go searching through my house, read my private journals and look through my medical records.
Thank you.
I was going to post this analogy, but you did it first.
So, after the flood, Noah tells all the animals to "be fruitful and multiply!"
He wanders around, and the rabbits are screwing like rabbits, the minks are screwing like minks, and the elephants are... well, doing whatever elephants do.
Then he comes and sees some snakes, and they're not doing the nasty. Noah asks them what's wrong, and they say "We're adders!"
So Noah goes away and thinks. He then comes back, cuts down a couple of trees, and makes picnic tables from the logs. He tells the snakes to hang out there, and goes away.
A few hours later, he comes back and sees that the snakes are getting it on, which just goes to prove...

Sorry, that's the wrong definition.
In the US, Treason is specifically defined by the Constitution. Election tampering alas, does not fit this definition.
Yeah, G-d himself uses an IBM Model M keyboard. That is, when he deigns to use a keyboard at all.
The C64 had better sound and the Atari had a much better floppy
Could you offload processing to the Atari's floppy drive?
video card on the VESA bus ...
1993 called. They want their bus back.
Video goes on either AGP bus (for older systems) or the PCI-E bus.
But then they'd have to make all the connectors plaid.
What's that in Grinches?
(The strength of ten Grinches plus two!)
ARINC 653.
My guess is that they're running VxWorks with the DO-178B or ARINC 653 package.
Oh, and please mod parent insightful.
Maybe it's an ARINC 653 solution?
Even Sony has been selling it. For decades. Without any DRM.
Even Sony has been selling it. For decades. Without any DRM -- except the rootkit.
There. Fixed that for ya!

Please turn in your geek card now.

Kenmore and Whirlpool are one and the same.
Except drill bits (and other items which may be expected to break due to normal wear and tear).
They wouldn't replace the broken 1/8 bit from my Craftsman SpeedLok set/
No, that's the late Robert Goulet who comes and tangles them up.
Yeah, the 9/11 guys screwed things up for the "ordinary" political hijacker.
NCSA Mosaic (I think it was 2.7b1 or something like that) on SCO OpenServer. This was oldSCO, before they sold the Unix division to Caldera.
I believe it was about '97 or so.

"Friday" is a continuation of the novelette, "Gulf". It takes place in a post-communist USA (the Soviets took over, and eventually got kicked out).
It's still pretty incomprehensible.

Even adders can multiply using log tables!
I know it wasn't COBOL's fault, but the programmers who were saving every character (not necessarily Byte).
My point was the OP claimed Y2K was due to Woz!!!
Actually, in my original TFS, I had mentioned the "stepping on toes" aspect of the thing.
Why? I direct you to the Sir George Mallory: "Because it is there".
Or, as Robert Burns put it some time earlier, "A man's reach should exceed his grasp, or what's a heaven for?"
"Does this RAM upgrade make me look fat?"
Woz didn't create the Y2K problem! WTF are you smoking!!!
The *real* Y2K issue was on big iron -- mainframes. Programmed in COBOL.
Carried under the wing of a B-52.
