They didn't stick with ISA. Compaq et. al got together and produced EISA, which was comparable to MCA, and had the advantage that the front part of the slot could take a standard ISA card.
Most servers were EISA for several years, at least, until PCI came along.
I don't use inetd or xinet, I prefer djb's tcpserver.
However, xinetd does have at least one major advantage over inetd - it allows you to drop config files for different services in/etc/xinetd.d/. This is much easier for packagers than parsing/editing a single inetd.conf file on the fly with scripts.
The framers put in all kinds of checks and balances to prevent the US from becoming infinitely bureaucratic and corrupt.
Sadly, the people are always clamouring for more laws, and the politicians appease them.
Then FDR came along and created all the alphaphet-soup agencies who can create new laws (err, regulations) without Congressional input (he might as well have shredded the Constitution on the White House steps), and then, well, you were pretty much screwed.
Now corporations can just out and out buy laws with generous campaign donations, which just accelerates the natural decay of the system.
All these factors together have made the US a country that the framers wouldn't recognize if you dropped them into it. If you had told them that in less than 200 years the Federal Government would have made war on a third of the States in order to increase it's power, that governments consume an enormous percentage of the GDP that they collect through hundreds of taxes, they wouldn't have bothered doing what they did. Hell, they thought they were building a nation of Liberty that would at least last longer than Athens.
Hey, we did the moving attached to a UPS thing with a SPARC IPX running NetBSD that had been up for nearly 400 days at the time, just to preserve the uptime.
Actually, NetWare 3.11 had a telnetd NLM, it came with some of their TCP/IP products (NetWare NFS at least). That was available in '93 and probably earlier.
It wasn't multi-user or anything but it gave you remote console from any telnet client.

What a load of crap.
Please supply evidence of a single real-world implementation of Communism that promotes Democracy.
For bonus points, supply evidence of a Communist state that respects any form of individual rights or freedom.
Until you can do so, please stick your head back up your ass and stop promoting a system that has proven to be a dismal, destructive failure everywhere it has been tried.
Ah, but there are nearly as many guns per capita in Canada as there are in the US. Nearly everyone I knew growing up in Northern Ontario owned multiple guns.
The question is, why do Americans kill each other with them so much more often than we do? It sure as hell isn't due to gun availability.

Sendmail needs to run as root because it has to pretend to be each different end-user to effectively deliver mail. That's the problem with monolithic daemons - lots of code that shouldn't run as root has to because some small parts do need to.

Qmail runs fine alongside Sendmail. Dunno what your problem was, but that wasn't it.
Possible running qmail-smtpd under some superserver that was misbehaving might be your problem, but not Qmail.
new.net sucks. They've totally ignored prior claims on many of their TLD's. Support one of the alternate roots that actually want to build a better Internet.
There are quite a few alternate root server networks available. Try www.alternic.org or www.opennic.unrated.net, or http://www.pacificroot.com/ for example.
And, unlike new.net, the others most of the time try to get along and not declare new.tld's that other people are already using.
DO support alternate DNS systems. DO NOT support new.net, they're just another bunch of corporate weasels who don't give a shit about anyone other than themselves.
Freeswan was working on opportunistic IPSEC encryption, where they'd automatically set up an IPSEC tunnel between 2 systems if they each supported it and needed to talk to each other.
Well, the OECD (including the US) has threatened most of the world's tax havens with economic sanctions (including cutting off their food supply) by 2005 if they don't implement less competitive tax regimes and relax their bank secrecy laws.
Apparently having low corporate taxes now qualifies you as being a terrorist state.
Such threatened states include the Cook Islands and St.Kitts-Nevis, along with 30 or so others, all large, scary nations. Not.
In other words, I don't think the US is all that concerned about looking like a bully when it comes to protecting it's economic interests.

Jobs - don't forget prisons. One of the biggest growth industries of the 90's. The US now has nearly 2 million citizens behind bars.
You should check out enhydra, if you haven't. No code in the html, or vice versa.

Actually that is exactly what is happening, and is the only reason you don't wake up every day to 50,000 messages in your inbox to delete.
Thank the army of zealots for at least holding the line, if not actually winning the battle.
MAPS doesn't filter anything. Either you or your ISP has to do the filtering, perhaps based on MAPS recommendations.

We used to do the same thing for cheap data recoveries. A can of cold spray could keep the drive going for a while too if the copy wasn't done ...

Our taxes would kill them a lot faster than your lawsuits.
yeah but a supernova anywhere within a 1000 light years could make Earth uninhabitable.
China wants to run their own roots so they can better control what their people see.
It has nothing to do with ICANN's policy of protecting IP holders and domain registrars.

All of those diseases are either treatable or easily preventable.
I'd rather have researchers working on the things that can't be treated and are hard to avoid getting.
Actually they used the space combat footage from the movie, not a TV episode.
