It's for the Zilog Z80 CPU, which the TRS-80 used. Assuming NewDOS/80 was named after said system, it's not an example of an OS given a year instead of version number.
Ahh, a fellow Berkeley student.
To give you a few hints, Instructional Support's Solaris boxes do in fact use the GNU userland utilities (Sun's userland sucks, as mentioned above).
tcsh *should* be the default shell; if for whatever reason your account is screwed up, log in to update.cs to get a menu to change your shell, password, and so on.
Emacs is most definitely installed, and you can invoke vim as 'vim'.
This does happen, and has been the case for a while now. The campus has had a Real Media-based webcast system for enrolled students for several years. And yeah, a significant number of EECS majors just sit in their rooms and rot until it's time to take an exam or hand in a project (sometimes not even then, if it can be submitted electronically). What Berkeley IST should be working on is the damn enrollment system. Tele-BEARS on the Web sucks, plain and simple.
Actually, satellite-only GPS is accurate to within 15 meters in the worst conditions. (Wikipedia article on the subject)
Adding in the fact that you can usually get a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wide_Area_Augmentatio n_System">WAAS or DGPS signal, receivers will usually give you a position accurate to within 8 meters.
Also, considering that you don't need to know an exact position so much as you need the velocity, this problem is easily-solvable.
The type-of-vehicle and passenger-vs-driver problems pose more of an obstacle to the GP's idea.
Passengers are able to observe what's going on in and around the car and can shut up if the driver needs to focus on the road.
Cell phone callers are not.
Voltage is not the same thing as power. Power is the product of voltage with current, so these could use a small amount of current at 100 V and not dissipate that much power.
If it is sensational journalism, at least it's reported from the other end of the spectrum from the unending series of "Everything in Iraq is fine" articles we get from American mainstream media.
An important issue I would ask you to consider is one that is a top priority for us at Go Daddy - child exploitation or even the potential for it. I don't know of any parent who wouldn't want their child's username and password protected.
In an ideal world, parents would keep tabs on their children's Internet usage and educate them on how to avoid being taken advantage of or hurt. I find it shameful that parents choose to blame others (like ISPs) for the consequences of their neglect.
"Think of the children" is the pitiful argument used by people without other valid arguments for placing restrictions on the free flow of information. I don't have any domains hosted by GoDaddy, but you can be sure that you have lost another potential customer.
I've done that and regretted it.
Haven't caused anyone to hit me yet though...
The worst thing I've ever done to screw with a tailgater was when I downshifted from 5 to 4 at ~75MPH and dumped the clutch.
No accident, but hopefully the guy driving the $80,000 Porsche learned a lesson.
I learned that this is a good way to freak out all of your passengers.
Won't be doing that again... I've grown out of my stupid-driving phase.
The GC can't destroy unused allocations if there are still references to them.
Leak Monitor watches extension code to see if it leaves references to parts of a window or tab even after it is closed.
Memory leaks are entirely possible even in languages with automated memory management.
I don't know where you're getting that 90% figure from.
The fraction of people with middle-class or better earnings is much lower than that.
12.5% of the US is below the official Census "poverty line" ($19,000 for a family of four), which is by no means set high enough to truly define poverty. 15.6% of Americans don't have medical insurance.
Census press release.
Uh... assuming that Java 1.4.x is implemented in C/C++, one would think that running and building Java code on Itanium is entirely irrelevant since Java uses a virtual machine.:)
Uh, yes. That's called making a cover of a song, and it generally goes under the category of permitted rights called "fair use." As long as the artist performing it or remixing it cites the original composer and gives credit, it's entirely legal.
Go look through a tutorial on IP law, because you seem to have a lot of it wrong and you're making a fool out of yourself by defending a quasi-legal entity that has no right to attempting to police IP violations in this manner.
The RIAA and the current model of music production is outdated, there's nothing else to say about it. What we're seeing is a corporate moneygrubbing whore in its death throes.
Please go RTFA again.
This wouldn't be a problem if text messages were transmitted over the voice channels like an intelligent network design would do.
Unfortunately, cellular networks currently transmit SMS over the control channels. One cell has a very small number of control channels compared to the voice channels available (which makes sense when you think about it). Control channels are intended to be used to set up a call to/from a handset, and then the actual call is transmitted over one of the voice channels using the multiple-access scheme the network was designed with, so a single base station can theoretically handle a few hundred handsets making voice calls.
Sending 165 SMS messages per second to a specific region would flood the control channels so that they couldn't perform their main function of setting up voice "circuits".
With the recent supreme court ruling in the Hiibel case it's more important than ever that citzens defend the right that are given to them.
Rights aren't given. The government does not have the ability to "give" rights. It is intended to protect the inherent rights of every human being in its jurisdiction. Unfortunately, the American government has failed in this duty. It should be replaced.
Uh, no?
Geosynchronous/geostationary orbit means that the whole thing will rotate at the same speed as the point it's attached to.
Besides, think about what you just said. Man-made structures are infinitesimal against the scale of an entire planet. I don't have numbers on it, but rest assured that even a big space station with a tether going all the way down to the surface of the planet would not have anything close to the mass needed to exert any real force against Earth's rotation.
3D-rendered desktops are a gimmick to get everyone to buy brand-new hardware to run Microsoft's new toy.
Meanwhile, I'll save a ton of money by having a functional GUI that I can do things with on old hardware.
You didn't even read the little submitter blurb, did you?
This would be for automotive use. The idea is that you store the hydrogen in these and then add them to a car as a fuel source because the hydrogen removal reaction provides a source of energy.
Storing hydrogen for a hydrogen-burning car in water is dumb, because it takes a lot of energy to free hydrogen through electrolysis, and the second law of thermodynamics says you can't break even and get the same amount of energy from burning it.
It's open source. Go write your own distro that can do everything automagically without ever showing you a command-line, and I'm sure you'll convert thousands of Windows users. NOT.
You'll get added to the pile of "user-friendly" distros that grows every time someone bitches about Linux being arcane.
I personally enjoy the power of the command line. Anyone who regards a GUI-enabled app as superior just because it has a GUI is a stupid computer user.
You fail your trolling attempt.
Any modern Linux distribution worth its salt (pardon the pun) uses at least an MD5-based salted password storage system.
Wikipedia will tell you more about salting.
What it boils down to is that using enough bits of salt can make it infeasible for Joe Hacker to store a database of passwords, salts, and their hashed values that would encompass all combinations and allow dictionary attacks against MD5-protected passwords.
If your Linux system doesn't use a salted hash to store passwords in/etc/shadow, you may have an issue if untrusted users have access to your system. Then again, if untrusted users have enough access to read/etc/shadow, you have a bigger problem than someone cracking your normal user passwords.
That sounds like my experience getting stuck using Windows boxen after learning shortcuts for my Linux desktop. X11 for *nix supports pasting with the middle button and I get frustrated with the Windows Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V system whenever I have to use it.
God forbid I ever have to use a single-button mouse.

Great! Two years from now when Hitachi finishes this new trick, I can lose 5 TB instead of 500 GB to a 5-platter Deathstar head crash!
