Actuallly, punch cards are much older than 80 years. They were developed to tabulate the data for the 1890 census by Herman Hollerith (as in the hollerith code field(s) used in FORTRAN).
They're older than that. HOLLERITH Punch cards were developed for the 1890 census. Punch cards for machine control have been around for much longer, since the Jacquard Loom in 1801. Babbage used them for the program for the Difference/Analytical Engine.
Sorry, but in addition to MOMENTUM and position (not velocity), and pair of complementary properties can be used. In particular, Energy and Time. Since a zeptosecond pulse is so ridiculously small, the delta E must be huge.
Nah, I think that that happens when the parent post is below your threshold. I think it's been reported as a bug on the slashcode site a couple of times... Taco, are you listening?
Congressman Rick Boucher of VA has written a letter...
I know it's totally OT, but how is Boucher's name pronounced? I'm planning on trying to get a face-to-face with my local congresscritter to trye to give him a clue, and was going to tell him to look up Boucher, but I don't want to sound like a total idiot by fscking up the name...
Cliff Stoll mentions using Kermit ack latency to measure distance in "The Cuckoo's Egg". Of course, he wasn't trying to measure c, but to figure out where his hacker was. Turns out he was pretty accurate, even though the data was ignored because it didn't fit the currently known theories...
Also, consider those who's access may be through work... (Disclaimer -- I don't know what the crackmonkey list is for). At the office, I *MUST* use LookOut! At home, I use Netscape. But sometimes we don't have a choice.
I was chagrined to hear that the program will not run on anything faster than a Pentium 90.
Reminds me of my old SCO usage days. Note: I happened to *LIKE* SCO. But ODT2 crapped out whenever we tried to install it on an 486DX/2-66 with an AHA1542 controller. After we called SCO tech support, and they told us the machine was too fast, we were ROFL for about 5 minutes, since back then (1992), it was well known that when it came to Unix, there was no such thing as too much speed, RAM, or disk space...
Apparently there was a timing loop in the 1542 driver.

This is an urban legend. The space pen was developed privately, and donated to NASA.
Ah, but the cracking of encryption is only illegal when used to control access to a copyrighted work, without permission of the copyright holder.
Since it would be their own data they'd be cracking, it wouldn't be a DMCA violation. Or are you suggesting that "all their data are belong to MicroCal"?
The earth is subject to coriolis effects as well. When I used to do artillery control software, the distances were large enough that we had to take Earth's rotation into account.

ME's aren't useless...
Q: What's the difference between an ME and a CivE?
A: MEs build weapons. CivEs build targets.
Or how about 'taping out' a chip design. Are they still delivered on magtape? Or do they burn a CD, or transfer a file electronically?

I'm sorry, but I just got the mental image of the geek pr0n site that would use this tagline!
are rummored to included swiming, tanning and looking for secutity bugs
If I went to the Bahamas, I'd spend my time looking for secu-tity bugs, too!
Thanks. I *really* didn't want to sound like an idiot.

Dude, you must be a young'un. That's no halter top, it's a *tube top*. Very big in the late '70s/early '80s.

Do Quantum Mechanics work for Maxtor now?

Will it include the 2313 nVidia drivers?

you watch episodes of the Transformers with all the commercials cut
I thought the whole show was a commercial?

It's been a while since I've done 68030 ASM, but I'm pretty sure CCR access was a MOV.B, not priviliged, and SR access was MOV.W, priviliged.
