Xenix. I realize its cousins are still out there (Unix variants from its ancestors), but MS just stopped making it, it died, they never did anything with it again...unless NT3.51 POSIX stuff is from that?...

Runtime Error
Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.
Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".
Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.

They call this an invention?...it's on the same level as Mentos in Diet Coke as near as I tell.
I'm equating limitations. Forget what the federalist papers said and forget what the founding fathers intentions were - interpret the document that is actual law not speculation; the Constitution). If people are not arguing about certain loss of freedoms (you can have a musket or a pistol, or even an assault rifle, as times change, but not a nuke or a daisy-cutter) then why are we jumping up and down about loss of freedoms that are really designed to stop right-wing extremists from furthering and enabling an agenda (church and state stuff - whether it's jesus-campers or stone-age islamists)? Mostly it's just fighting fire with fire, or rather fear-mongering with fear-mongering. "The terrorists, the terrorists - the sky is falling - we must have martial law!!!" vs. "The Bush, The Bush - it's the Spanish inquisition - Hilary save us!!!"
Fear works best, and that's why each stake-holder in the conflict uses it.
...by the millions, becoming citizens and voting for women not to read/learn, Allah to be the one true God, etc...that would be fine, but with the arsenal becoming available to these nutters, they're not really in a voting mood.
There is no foreign policy or bargaining - they just want you dead.
I don't like loosing freedoms, but we have had a dialed-back freedom from the beginning - the fact that those freedoms are now subject to further tweaking is just reacting to state-of-the-art in criminal intent.
Look at the 2nd Ammendment - it was never enumerated that the people should be able to own a howitzer or a nuke so that freedom has been tweaked to rule those out as the state-of-the-art changed. Speech, assembly, etc... are no different. I'm sure the founding fathers never intended for the 1st Ammendment to include websites and Oprah being beamed around the world influencing people's minds with BS either.
From TFA - "populated by volunteer vandals with poison-pen intellects. Congress has enabled them and protects them."
Sounds like the mainstream press is also in on it.
Side note: You really don't know what you're talking about...
As acknowledged by all the ?'s and the part where I say "I don't know". The first part of your post was information and not degrading in any way though.
Why would there be any more latency than normal? How far do packets go from one side of the US to the other - 1000?...more?...how high are satellites?...100 miles, tops? I mean I don't know, I'm just saying why would using satellites lead to inherent latancy?
I've never seen a Dvorak prediction work out. The last time he was even close was in the mid-90s writing for PC Computing I think it was, he said that ISDN would take over and we would have fast, easy Internet everywhere because of it.
I think he hears a new acronym or sees something he hasn't seen before and decides to be negative about it.
The most foolish comment of all:
"Computer gaming has always been sustained by never-ending improvements in resolution and realism. But once we get to photorealism, what is going to sustain growth?"
Yeah, as soon as they perfected paper and pencil, no one had anymore stories to tell.
"Apparently judges have found that law enforcement is unbelievably perfect as they rubber-stamped approvals on every single request they received."
...and Fark's usually lame, and over-used dog-wants-his-whatever-hilarity-ensuing-welcoming- our-whatever-overlord-isms spill over onto the last bastion of geekdom.
Your dog wants his Internet back!
...let's just all do something before the government really starts to regulate things. I'm stupid about such things, so out of curiosity why hasn't the w3c or the people who write the RFCs come up with some new SMTP spec?...please...
...but doesn't Moore's law specifically say that the density of transistors on a processor...not really anything about memory...more importantly we're not even talking about transistors at this point, so...Moore's just doesn't apply...just saying.

Hasn't Honda's ASIMO been around for a couple years? ASIMO was walking and dancing bipedal-y since it was built...maybe I'm missing something...ASIMO and this thing look a lot alike as well.
That's one more thing to add to my list of 'stuff-that-scifi-authors-said-we-would-have-by-20 10'.
Fix your eyes with friggin' lasers.
Communications the size of a pack of smokes (cell phones)

Video Conferencing (and even Video Telephones)

and now...Toys for Sequencing DNA for Junior. Heinlein et al would be proud:)
Still waiting for flying (or automatic/autopilot) cars, permanent station on Moon/Mars (I'll accept either), Cancer/Common-cold cure (I'll accept either), humanoid robot for menial tasks around the house, acceptable voice control/communications in conjunction with useful AI computing...etc...
Well just like any oversight with sensitive posibilities, it would be a representative of the public who had access to the surveillance...who would also be watched:)
What happens when the idea catches on, and suddenly it's two per classroom, one on each school bus, five in the cafeteria and five in the gym?
If we could do it for the same amount of money/effort as a camera, could we/should we/would we? In a perfect world we wouldn't need cops, but in a world where we had unlimited law enforcement resources, would having cops everywhere we are proposing camera's be bad/wrong/unconstitutional?
BUT, it's already been ruled that a video/photo camera with a radar gun is an invasion of privacy and represents a threat to society. They were introduced and were common here for several years but were retired a few years back due to public outcry.
I believe they are still in use all around the US, no?

Actually my mouses (mice?) worked well (mechanically) upside down - the reason it's a smart-ass comment is because the vertical axis were reversed.

>>Mexico City, buildings collapsed when the center of the earthquake was 400 km away.
Cinco de Mayo probably has that kind of blast radius as far as knocking over buildings in Mexico.
Agreed Fox is just as bad as NPR, or CBS, or Rush, or Franken or any of those nutters.

Had this on my old Compaq Armada with Docking station Circa 1999 or so.

We just have to somehow tie spam to music piracy, that will send the RIAA after them and then we'll see some real justice meeted out.

Can we please add 'kerfuffle' to the profanity filter. I don't find it profane, but I would prefer to see !#%$@#$#!@ instead.
