Exactly. There is no difference between being a sports window and a WoW widow. Interest in either one is very time consuming, which results in much less time spent with the spouse. The spouse then feels abandoned, lonely, etc. Marriages require lots of time and maintenance. You may have to give up on some marathon WoW sessions to spend time with the wife. It is worth it.
First of all, if you work for the Navy, the distribution must be within DADMS, so you can't just run any random distribution.
I also run a few linux machines for the DoD (the Navy specifically). The rules are enforced by the scanners. I take the vendor's (RedHat in my case) backported patch at their word, that they have fixed it. If you read their patch documentation, when the security alert is issued, that they have implemented the patch. The network security scanner doesn't pick up that you have patched it, because the version number doesn't match. I submit the RedHat's patch document with the report, as evidence that I have done it. It satisfies the auditors, because, to them, it's no worse than trusting Microsoft that they have patched their stuff.
I don't have the time to investigate and test to see if the vendor actually fixed the problem with their backported patch. I leave that for the security exports to ping on them if they failed to do their job. Besides, that's what I'm paying RedHat for. I don't have the time to make sure that Microsoft fixed all of their stuff either. I patch and go, and document it what I have done. As long as their is a paper trail to prove that you have been patching, all is well.
I read the IBM reason in a computer history book, but I can't remember the name. The reasoning was as follows: Univac was the first company to sell computers commercially. All of their storage was on magnetic tape. IBM came out second, and built an interface to their existing punch card equipment. So, the question for businesses was, buy a univac computer and enter all of the information by hand, or buy an IBM and use the existing equipment.

Punch cards predate the computer, because they were used in loom machines to generate paterns. The punch cards were later used for statistical purposes. IBM was already selling statistical machines that used the punch cards before the computer. The reason that IBM was able to grab the market instead of Univac, is because IBM's computers was compatible with the punch cards that the corporations already had.
How do you know that the missile defense doesn't work? The program is very young still, and if they have had remarkable success, don't you think the real results would be classified?
Why didn't you climb up, attach a cable long enough to go to the ground, climb back down, fix the problem, and then climb back up to disconnect the cable? Wouldn't that be less dangerous?
Sure, it might cost too much, but hopefully enough rich, environmentalists will buy it, that the price will come down so that it will be economically feasible, and affordable for the rest of us. They can use the same selling model as the Tesla Roadster.
I have several 386 computers running ms dos, still in service. They have paper tape emulators on them to interface with even older automatic test machines. They will probably be replaced in about six years.
I've read about different electronic noses before, yes. My impression of this article is that this is an improved version, with a wider range of detection, and cheaper to make.
The article doesn't say anything about how long the cell would last. (unless I missed it). Is that one/tenth the cost for the initial investment? What we would want to know is the total cost per watt, over the life span of the product.
For that matter, my kids play with the lids from pop bottles. Get a whole bunch of them, and you can build pyramids, towers, etc. And if you were drinking the stuff anyway, you get the lids for FREE.
I had one of those. My dad used it at work for a while, but when it was replaced, he bought it from the company and brought it home. That model I had two external 5" floppy disks, plus a copy of Scriptsit (word processor), dbpro (database), and of course, visicalc (spreadsheet). I learned a lot about computers from those.
As a user of the linux decnet stack, I would say the Linux decnet stack works pretty well for talking to old VAXen. There are still places with old VAX computer embedded in equipment that would take millions to replace. The Navy is using Charon VAX http://www.softresint.com/charon-vax/ in some places to keep from having to replace the attached hardware. SIMH http://simh.trailing-edge.com/ works very well for emulating a vax, but is software only.
A vax emulation running on SIMH on linux can talk decnet, and so can the linux machine it runs on. However, because DECNET sets the mac address as the decnet address, the Linux's decnet can't talk to the SIMH running on it. So, I had to put tcp/ip on the simulator to get them to talk.
It would be nice if Linux's emulator could set it's mac address at runtime, and have several, so it could to the routing, and talk to the SIMH emulator, but it isn't possible now.
I'm using VMS running on Linux, under SIMH. For some ancient modelling software that is still needed, the performance gain of running it on a Pentium 4, 2Ghz is about 3x the original speed of a microvax 2.

The Navy and the Marine Corp are not moving to Vista yet. The Army is, and I don't know about the Air Force.

Wow. I don't want memorabilia THAT badly.

Carnegie Mellon had a version of tcp/ip that ran on VMS 5.5. They stopped supporting it, though.
I didn't think that RSX-11/M ran decnet IV. The PDP-11s that we still have running don't have network cards, so I couldn't try it, though.
