IIRC, the main advantage to SRBs (for ICBM's at least) is that they are always fueled. Liquid fueled missiles had to be fueled before launch. In a MAD scenario, the quick launch time was a major advantage.
SRBs have this advantage ANYWHERE that fueling may be a problem, such as wing mounted or ship mounted missiles.

He didn't say that E&S disappeared off the face of the earth, he said that nobody ever heard from them again about patents.
Where the hell is "Jupitor"???? I know that Jupiter is the fifth planet out from the Sun, but what star does Jupitor orbit? Since it's not in our solar system, it would probably take millenia, not just years.
Come on. C???? C is 20 years younger than FORTRAN. If you want to #include C, then you need to add FORTH and LISP onto your list of languages with longevity.
1. Write all 1's (0xff) to the disk. Readback & Verify.
2. Write all 0's (0x00) to the disk. Readback & verify.
3. Repeast steps 1 and 2 two more times (for three full passes).
4. Write a random byte to the disk (I'm partial to 0x47 or 0xb2, but take your pick). Readback & verify.
5. Write the 1's complement of the previous byte to the disk. Readback and Verify.
Make sure to generate a log somewhere for audit trail purposes!

Having written several disk purge (not declassification -- once it's classified, it's classified) routines, I feel qualified to comment.
You don't just "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rhd0".
There are several standards for purging media, such as DoD 5220-28M, and AFR 205-16. They specify the means of purging various media, ranging from core to disk to tape.
The smartass comment about "dd" was totally unwarranted. Also, if hph had bothered to READ the article, he'd have seen that DoD was simply reverting to the earlier policy of wiping (unclassified) disks and donating the computers, instead of destroying all disks.
Even the posters don't read the fscking articles any more.
They do this "census" thingy every 10 years, all in an effort to collect demographic info on us, and people fill them out every time. What's going on here?
The Feds are REQUIRED to do a census every 10 years by the Constitution. Of course, all the demographic BS they collect isn't required.
IANAL, and so won't presume to tell you not to answer that BS, but constitutionally, they are required (and allowed) to ask how many people live in your house.
What if the government-funded TCP/IP development had been released under a license which prevented its use in any product which wasn't released as GPL'd code?
Well, let's see, there's RFC 791, 792, and 793. If you don't like the licensing terms for existing code that implements this standard, go ahead and create your own implementation of the fully documented standard.
Note: Licensing terms include such things as whether your source needs to be released, or even the cost of licensing a closed-source implementation! You don't want to pay me $$$ for my closed source implementation, do it yourself!
OK, the RIAA is evil. I concede that point. The labels rip off the artist. That pretty much has been proven (see Courtney Love's article). Many/.'ers think we should boycott RIAA and record labels. Great!
Sony is part of the "evil empire'. How many of you guys rushed out to buy a PS2 the second they were available? Congratulations, you just put money into the pockets of an RIAA member.

I'll just take a single LOX/Kerosene F-1 motor.

At least, that's how I read it...
Yeah, but why would you spend a few zillion buck$ on an S/390 when you could buy a specialized Cisco router which is optimized for the job?

Fortran 77? Hah! You're a wimp! The very first language I learned was FORTRAN IV (I believe it was either the WATFOR or WATFIV variant).
Nope, he's number 2 now. One of the Walton heirs (of Wal-Mart) passed him.
And that's why WE NEED THIS TREATY NOW!!!!
How can we let Bill Gates be humiliated this way?

They probably lease their desktops, but I doubt that they lease the critical infrastructure computers. They're probably "big iron" anyways.
Dude,
See "Windows NT/2000 Native API Reference", by Gary Nebbett.
First of all, as another poster pointed out, the 1848 ruling was brought up by the defendant to try to get it under US jurisdiction.
Second, this case would seem to have repercussions relevant to the French Yahoo! case...

Dude, the problem is that they don't have enough DSLAM ports.
Kind of like if you have an 8 port hub, and 8 computers, and then you want to add a ninth, you're fscked, even though you've got a NIC.
Yeah, somehow I don't see Harpers magazine being allowed to publish instructions to make dangerous radioactive devices!
What do you mean? It's not like Harper's published anything really dangerous... like DeCSS.
When I left my previous employer for my current job, I got a nice hefty raise, and some options.
The raise, work environment and bennies were what I considered. If the options pan out, great. If not, no biggie. They weren't the deciding factor.

So, what power would they have over, for example, over a P2P development effort hosted in Europe?
Oh, I don't know. Go ask Jon Johannsen, maybe? I'm sure he could tell you.
