I doubt that the DoD even *wants* a draft. It's at odds with their current doctrine of highly trained professional soldiers. All draftees are good for is cannon fodder (see Vietnam).
A draftee army cannot provide the morale and esprit-de-corps that a professional volunteer army does.
Can't pull that one with Windows, but whenever my Mom calls with an AOHell problem: "Sorry Mom, I don't know AOL. You'll have to call their 800 number or ask Herb". (Herb being their best friend, who *does* know AOL).
In addition the bill would "permit people to use technology to skip objectionable content -- like a gory or sexually explicit scene -- in films, a right that consumers already have. However, under the proposed law, skipping any commercials or promotional announcements would be prohibited."
This would appear to be unconstitutional on its face, because it prevents products (aka speech) based on content.
Nobody knows just *what* SCOX bought from oldSCO. SCOX can't seem to find any docs relevant to it, and Tarantella (who used to be Santa Cruz) isn't talking.
No, they were trying to lose the Rodney King association!:)
I still want to know how he modified the thing, if he was going as fast as the cops said he was. The cops said that he was going 115. Back in '91, you were lucky if you could get an Excel to go 65 on the freeway!
Ditto to this, Derek. And to your other comment in response to this.
I'm very happy with my 1710.
On the other hand, my father-in-law's LaserJet II fell off a four foot table in the '94 Northridge quake. Landed upside down, etc...
I picked it up, turned it on, and it ran no problem. Those old LJs were built like tanks. Back when the HP name actually meant quality (fuck you very much, Carly).
Before I bought a router, I had to run PPPoE software. And it had to be started per user, not as an NT service. (Earlier version of EnterNet 300). And because it installed something in the TCP/IP stack, it legitimately had to run as admin.
I had multiple users on my machine (it was a home box), and I had to come in and do RunAs whenever the kids or the wife wanted to go online.
With setuid or sudo, I could have set it up so they could connect on TCP/IP.
What would be really useful for Windows is a way for a user or program to temporarily elevate their privilige level (as RunAs currently does), BUT WITHOUT HAVING TO MAKE THE ADMIN PASSWORD PUBLIC!!!!
Reminds me of the old joke at UC Santa Cruz about Huffman coding.
Everyone knows the story of how Huffman was flunking info theory at MIT, and his professor told him to solve the unsolved minimal-redundancy coding to pass.
Well, at UCSC, H's students decided that H's roommate actually invented it, but H murdered him, hid the body, and claimed it.
DISCLAIMER: I don't really believe this, it was just a joke that was circulating among Huffman's students about 20 years ago at UCSC.

No, the ITU sets *standards* for the PSTN. It does not *govern* or set policy.
In the US, the FCC does that.

Linux should sue SCO for tainting their products/image
I believe that RedHat did and one of IBM's counterclaims does just that, under the Lanham Act.
I suspect that if the exit pollers gave the true results, you'd have had the networks reporting that "None of your fucking business" held a huge lead.
Tell him you're gay. Gays are still not allowed in the military. If he persists, ask him out on a date.
That's the one thing I don't understand. What if I decide that I like my dell machine, but I want to be 1337 and replace the case?
Real programmers have sixteen fingers.
I have 8. Does octal count? I also have two thumbs for when I need to use straight binary.
Dana Rohrbacher is a man.

Unless we have a working lunar colony/base, it's useless.
The whole point of the elevator was to make it easy to get out of Earth's gravity well. To get to a lunar elevator, you still have to do that.
Damn! I was at the Air&Space Museum yesterday and forgot to check!
Does John Young in Apollo 10 count?
Only 18 people have ever seen the moon so close with thier own eyes.
Your count is off. It's 27.
Apollo 8, 10, 11, 12, 13 (yes, they went around the moon), 14, 15, 16, 17.
That's 9 missions with 3 guys each for 27 people.
100 years from now at the old robots home...
You robots today have it so easy!
Why, back in the day... I had to climb a 260 foot building! Straight Up! In a driving snowstorm!

Please, don't help SCOX spread their confusion.
MS sold Xenix to the Santa Cruz Operation (aka oldSCO), not the SCO Group (SCOX aka the SCOundrels).
Nope. AT&T and Sun codeveloped SVR4 as the "Unix International" consortium. The OSF was formed to counterbalance them.
No, they were trying to lose the Rodney King association! :)

Not only that, it even refuses to print B&W only pages, even if you have a brand new full B&W cart, but a dead color cart.
My guess is that way people will go out and buy both carts at the same time. Gee, more money for EP$ON.

OK, here.

Happy now?
And I think you're missing my point.
What would be really useful for Windows is a way for a user or program to temporarily elevate their privilige level (as RunAs currently does), BUT WITHOUT HAVING TO MAKE THE ADMIN PASSWORD PUBLIC!!!!
Oh, I agree. But if Windows had the equivalent of sudo or setuid, I could actually let her run it.
