Telnet, yes - it's been very effectively replaced by ssh, but ftp still lingers on since so many people keep on trying to reinvent it badly instead of settling on something better. There's so many fucking homegrown web things that don't even support REGET or similar instead of supporting something built on ssh or anything else that works effectively. Hence people using Dropbox even at the fumbling start when it was a security joke even worse than plain FTP (it got better later). People wouldn't have put up with that if there was a widely used alternative.
It doesn't have to be poorly written PHP to be garbage. Poorly written C, which would have been common back then, can be far more dangerous.
An FTP site is incredibly trivial to transfer to something running current software - "poorly written C" doesn't come into it. Username, password, get files - finished.
Don't guess anyone knew better in school administrations at the time of what was what
Just like today with all those "hidden" caches of movies etc on corporate networks you'd probably find they had a list to exclude all that stuff from backups to save space but otherwise ignored it.
I think alta-vista was around but nothing was doing the number of citations type search that made Google what it is. I think I had that book and gave it away to someone just getting connected to the net. It (or whatever similar book it was) seemed to be a good starting point.
It was because I dared to ask you about the begging for money previously (when you made some sort of comment about welfare or something I think) and you marked me as foe instead of answering.
It's called "Atlas Shrugged" where those born to power, such as the jailbait heiress, are the ones considered fit to rule while American Democracy (run by Republicans at the time) is slammed.
Still waiting for a citation or three from you
I asked YOU the question about your begging for money while apparently employed. How can I cite anything other than your words? What's with all the cowardly weasel evasions instead of taking responsibility for what you have written? Are you ashamed?
You go to a meeting. Your company asks for feedback. You give feedback.
Not what happened here is it? We have a ten page whiny "mens-rights" activist screed.
I thought sewing pussyhats... is activism
Ah - the "if a white guy does it it's not terrorism" tribalist bullshit. There are extremists on all sides even in your "tribe". One of the things I do not miss about working in a University a couple of decades back is the activists like the "Christian" bunch who kicked the cheap Hare Krishna food stall off campus. Of course it's fucking activism, just look at it his "girls have germs" manifesto.
The really funny thing here is "conservatives" screaming at a corporation to tell it to be liberal enough to put up with an activist in it's ranks. It's amazing how naive you guys are and the levels of hypocracy are through the roof!
I don't think reason comes into it - the employment agencies are just set in their ways. Example - long ago when I was a recent graduate headhunters were hassling me despite a large government owned military lab shutting down and flooding the employment market with many far better qualified people prepared to work for just about anything they could get. Some ended up delivering pizza.
As a 48 year old, white, straight male I am constantly getting harassed by headhunters
Perversely that only happens when you have a job. It's kind of weird to see the headhunting still going on when there have been mass layoffs by similar companies and less qualified folks being chased than those freely available. I've seen that from the outside BTW so comments about my own ability are irrelevant.
Sorry, I can't see how that can be a contradiction in any way at all. Isn't one interpretation of "libertarianism" summed up as "I've got mine"? If there is advantage to take or people to exploit how can it contradict the "philosophy"?
Maybe you should try a different label to the one Koch applies to himself.
Wow - a sig like that turned up already? Setting the bar a little low are you not? All that happened to him was getting fired while Terry Childs got jail for telling management how things should be done.
Information about the reliability of the laptops is damn hard to find
And probably not especially relevant because failure is likely to be driven by events (large temperature difference, sudden acceleration, bumping into things etc) and because they probably don't stay in the same location. A machine that is built into something instead of being moved around is something more likely to fail due to the situation than an event.
We already know that dropping laptops is bad (or in zero-G running into things at speed) and that unforced convection cooling in zero-G is not as good as we get here. If we want something we don't know I think more controlled circumstances would help.
Damore explicitly talks about the secret diversity hiring meeting here: https://www.youtube/
Fuck this post-literate shit for a time wasting fucking game - just fucking tell me the important bit instead of sending me to an ad-ridden shithole to waste minutes waiting for some alt-right womanhating virgin student activist who never grew up speaking shit and probably never getting to the point you are referring to.
Also - I kind of find it a bit weird to see self-identified far right wingers being upset about corporations having meetings in private. When did confidentiality in business become something you people see as evil? I don't think even the commies go that far. Try to act like something other than a joke OK?
Perhaps you should look it again - you've missed a bit, or more likely ALL OF IT! As for Google, a corporation acted as corporations do to people who rock the boat. It's kind of funny seeing "conservatives" foaming at the mouth when a company they think is "liberal" acts conservatively. Whatever sort of radical they get, left or right, or someone they do not want to be seen speaking in the company name.
Now that's a pity. I was looking for something for the approx 2003 stuff when I came across Morphos (but ran FreeBSD11 and an old version of Ubuntu on ppc instead).
There's Morphos out there. It will run on the powerpc imacs that are not all that ancient yet and possibly a few other things. Some of tiny little powerpc macbooks are probably as fast as some reasonably recent netbooks if not quite up to Raspberry Pi speed.
Sorry to hear that I'm not sure and so I'm asking a question? Then you avoided it and linked to Ann fucking "bring the Tsar to the USA I hate democracy" Rand instead of using your own words? I think that explains your begging for money connected with your "everyone ELSE for themselves" politics - bald selfishness pretending to be ideology. Did I nail it beggar boy or are you going to tell me what's really going on?
That would be nicer but you'd pick someone with a track record if that was the actual goal, and if there's nowhere with a track record private industry is not where you go since that's the expensive way to do it.
is that an author has to pay the press to have stuff published
Yes hence some of that stuff on the list related to "Vox" and the vanity press he was associated with (and a large faction of mostly unread authors upset that nobody was reading their stuff from that press).
Where did Sad Puppies ever demand that people vote for them without reading the works?
The fucking slate - a "how to vote card". Kind of obvious isn't it. A list of stuff to vote for whether you've read it or not.
that they were voting against works nominated by Sad Puppies without even reading them
Not good either - why do you expect me to stand up for a different bunch playing politics when my entire complaint is about turning the thing into a political farce instead of picking what fans honestly thing is the best?
And it's obviously very unfortunate that it fed the anti-vaxxer movement.
It started the fucking anti-vaxxer movement. I'm not sure why you are commenting when you don't even know that much. With an ID that low I thought you'd be old enough to know about it from when it was news.

Post-literate boy, can you put into WORDS the bit you mean so I don't have to watch fifty one minutes of whining just to find a bit ten seconds long?

Reading comprehension failure (probably deliberate) - try again.

I've certainly never heard of them. Citation please.
Yes. You'll get people throwing you into the same category as people you despise since they apply the same label to themselves.

That's kind of the point of punitive legal action.
It's the MacArthur principle. Take credit for whatever is going so long as you are somewhere sort of near where it is happening.
