I used to work at a company that did Fibre Channel. One of the things we had was an ASIC that did network processing in hardware, allowing us to do all sorts of interesting stuff at wire speed (2Gbps). If we had to load into memory we would have been at least an order of magnitude slower.
We put one mission up with the whole major point just being to test if the CSM could turn around and dock with a LEM style hatch, and get set up in a configuration to go to the next stage of a moon mission, all done with a smaller booster than the Saturn V and never leaving earth's orbit
Nope. The only Saturn 1-B launches were Apollo 7 and Skylab crew (and possibly Apollo-Soyuz). Apollo 9, which is the mission you're thinking of, was a full Saturn V.

Oh, well, then the "90 day license" blurb is unclear.
What do you mean?
I've got a Samsung VGA1000 with Sprint, and I can't find any F-ing way to even connect it to my computer!
That's a built-in on Nokias. I used that one when I had a Nokia (I was coaching softball at the time, and I'm still playing softball).
On sprint, not only do you have to pay for them, but they're DRM'ed to not be useable after 90 days.

Can you say "Cash Cow"? I knew you could.

And the Chinese flight.
Dick Rutan and Jeana Yeager flew it. Burt built it.
DOH!

Citibank's "virtual credit card number" service; for an online transaction, it'll generate a one-time-only CC number
AMEX used to have that, and they dropped the program (don't know why). Bummer.
IBM, while dominating and monopolistic in its day, did have a reputation for quality and topnotch research.
Yes, there is MS Research but it's in no way comparable to IBM Research.
And don't even mention MS and "quality" in the same breath unless the words "lack of" are placed between them.
and NT 4.0 which never came with a web browser
Not quite. NT4 came with IE2.0 (essentially, the rebadged Spyglass Mosaic). The first thing most people used it for was to download Netscape.
Hope you don't mind, but I'm using your sig over on Groklaw.
Or the fact that it was signed under duress...
"You *have* to sign this, or we won't operate, and you'll die."
I remember my ancient Hercules graphics card with 32KB.
I, for one, welcome our crazy GPU vector coprocessor finite difference code matrix guy overlords.
We're OT now but what the hell...
If any private company ran its pension plan the way the us.gov runs Social Security, all the executives would be in jail.
The problem with RunAs is that you need to give out the root/Admin password, which kind of defeats the purpose of denying Admin.
I'll bite. Why the fuck does The Sims require that you run as Administrator in Windows?
A Canadian Looney?
For instance it might have updates to nslookup.
And to the EULA.
Disclaimer: Evil EULA appeared to be fixed in W2KSP4.
Bullshit.

RDMA has been in use for several years in Infiniband.

They were still there in '92? I remember shopping there in '80 (was attending wustl.edu at the time)!
The Shit has hit the Cannes
