had several conversations during Xmas of 98 about the benefits of UNIX (SCO in that case, but I generalized to all unixes) vs Win98 with businessmen-type customers who asked).
Before the Caldera buyout, SCO was a MAJOR presence at POS locations.
To that end, the Defense Department is now prohibited from purchasing any software that has not undergone security testing by the NSA. Stenbit said he is unaware of any open-source software that has been tested.
What I have noticed here is that there is much emphasis on theory,
What is old is new again... We had this debate in '83 and '84 at UC Santa Cruz. The administration was theory oriented, the students wanted some more practical classes. I was one of the leaders of the student movement at the time.
Of course, the department was correct.

all coming together at the same point -- breaking Mulder out of prison.
And as a nice touch, they escaped in a Ford Escape!!!!
So the MPAA is claiming $3Billion. Have they put those numbers on their SEC filings? If they haven't, they are either lying to Congress, or Enronning (is that a word?) their shareholders.
Now that Napster's gone, I don't think I've bought a single CD since then...
Well, according to the RIAA, you'd obviously be one of those Evil Content Pirates(tm), so you're not buying CDs because you can't rip them and distribute them to the world.
There's another reason... so what if it doesn't link your accounts, it does the ONE THING that computers are good at... MATH! Checkbook reconciliation became soooooooo much easier when I didn't have to worry about errors in kitchen arithmetic...
Actually, the Constitution is written fairly clearly, and can pretty much be understood by anyone fluent in English (with the possible exception of some of the later Amendments, which were written in legalese).
The problem is that Congress (and some Judges) are so fluent in legalese, that they have trouble understanding English.
What part of "Congress shall make no law..." do they have a problem understanding?
My understanding was that the database crashed, causing a chain reaction on the network. I also seem to recall from the GCN article that there were BSOD's.
And *THAT* is why you do the test. Imagine if the part hadn't been tested. It's a hell of a lot cheaper to replace/repair a satellite part destroyed in a test lab, as compared to doing it in orbit.
There has grown up in the minds of certain groups in this country the notion that because a man or a corporation has made a profit out of the public for a number of years , the government and the courts are charged with the duty of guaranteeing such profit in the future, even in the face of changing circumstances and contrary public interest. This strange doctrine is not supported by statute nor common law. Neither individuals nor corporations have any right to come into court and ask that the clock of history be stopped, or turned back, for their private benefit.
Sorry, dude, but someone from LA is just as qualified as an SF'ian, and probably more qualified than a Nevadan. Or didn't you hear of Long Beach '33, Sylmar '71, Whittier Narrows '87, or Northridge '94?
See, that's the difference. Loma Prieta wasn't under a major urban area. Northridge was sitting right under some of the most highly developed real estate in So Cal.
Besides... the safest place to be in an earthquake is somewhere else (obviously). But... if you can't be somewhere else, L.A. (and the SF Bay area) are probably the best places to be. They know quakes are coming, the building codes take that into account. Buildings in CA are designed to hold up to quakes... They may be broken afterwards, but they don't fall down on top of you. We learned our lesson back in '71.

I got the MP3. Anyone got a mirror for the flash?
That wasn't the Pathfinder, it was either the Global Surveyor or Climate Orbiter, I can't remember which.
Pathfinder was the mission with the little robot that went aroudn taking pictures of everything.
Why on earth would anyone want office or 'net access on a POS system?
Customer: Excuse me, I've been waiting for 15 minutes!
Sales Clerk: Hang on... I've got to frag this dude!

Gee, which do you think it is?

Remember, that's how Hillary and Jack think.

So the Traveler was a Galactic Pedophile??? Interesting!
Generally the Supreme Court only steps in when an appeals court gets it wrong.
Or when two appeals courts interpret the Constitution differently...
Or if they just decide they like a petition that they received.

Same letter I got from Bush -- I wrote him asking him to lobby against CBDTPA and to veto it if passed.
My understanding was that the database crashed, causing a chain reaction on the network. I also seem to recall from the GCN article that there were BSOD's.

It was in "What do you care..."
Except that there's no way in hell an APPLICATION should be allowed to crash the OS.
I can't believe they didn't put the Tacoma Narrows Bridge on there!

Fscking Bay Area elitists.

In '94, I was 3 miles away from Ground Zero.
