IANAL, but it seems to me that the "Things Have Changed" Defense (THCD) may be effective now.
During trial, THCD would be like a thief arguing, "Well, the alleged victims have all their property back, so you should let me off." However, during discussion of penalties, since the idea is to enhance competition, THCD might be effective.
More importantly, Disney is not the only High Tech center in Orlando.
This is true. Orlando is the hotbed for simulation work, especially for (yes, I know it's probably a dirty word) the military. UCF in Orlando does a ton of simulation work, and the Army has STRICOM (Simulation and Training Command) there. Lots of hi tech stuff available in the sim world.
IBM OS/2? Dead, the minute they decided not to support Win32. If their marketing slogan had been "absolutely, positively 100% Windows compatible, only better!", they would have won.
Actually, it isn't. But once you are shown to be a monopoly, you must play by different rules so as not to abuse your monopoly power. binarybits: I ask again: where is the harm to consumers?
There is nothing in antitrust law which requires this to be shown. Sorry.
We had two nets... one used Greek mythology, specifically the Odyssey. The original server was named "Ulysses" because it had a long and torturous journey to get to our lab, the others followed suit: circe, cyclops, scylla, ajax (agamemmnon and charybdis were too long, but achilles was due to be next).
The other used Hindu (I had just finished reading Zelazny's "Lord of Light")... Our main development server was Brahma (the creator). Our file server was Vishnu (the preserver), and we had a couple of DOS/Windows boxes on the net we called Kali and Shiva (for obvious reasons...)
1100 MHz? That's either 100MHz FSB at 11x multiplier, or some really strange FSB speed. You can't get to 1100MHz with 133MHz FSB (it's an 8.25x multiplier). I think someone at the Register is just having fun...
I've thought about this for a while, ever since satellite was the "next big thing" for high bandwidth ISP connections. The only problem with Satcom this is that it requires either a hell of a lot of satellites in LEO (cf. Iridium) or a few satellites in Geosync.
And if you are dealing with Geosync, you have a minimum 0.5 second round trip, and that isn't even going to the moon, but staying on Earth! Even the moon gives a minimum 3 second round trip.

I believe the program you are referring to is called "script". At least, that's what it was called back in the days of the PDP-11.
Also, Stevens wrote a similar program as an example in "Unix Network Programming" (No way! Way!)
Really? What about that PC you're reading this on?
pasadena, you missed the point. Anonymous coward wrote that post with tongue planted firmly in cheek...
It's also in the Jargon File rev 3.0.
Yeah, but the leap month is simply referred to as "Adar II"
:-)
(as opposed to "Adar, the month", or "Adar II: The Wrath of Haman", or "Adar-3D, the search for forced humor"

And now, a word from the spelling police...
Sorry, Dana, but the Canadian equivalent of the FBI won't tag you as a separatist. Remember, there is "a rat" in separate.
Just a tip to help you trick the Echelon computers...

What I found interesting was Cutler's comments that he'd rather have stability than the latest whiz-bang features.
SO.... If he's the architect, why aren't they listening to him and concentrating on stability?
Must be those marketing guys who want to make sure we are running Insecure Exploder everywhere. Yeah, yeah, that's the ticket!
