Schwartz came to Sun when Sun bought Lighthouse Design, back before Java. Lighthouse Design had a big suite of office apps for NEXTSTEP. Wordprocessors, diagramming, spreadsheet, project management, paint programs, you name it. These were all high quality apps written in Objective-C.
It would be SWEET if Sun released these open source and the GNUStep project got them working on Linux.
The code is rotting, no one is doing anything with it, and it would be a big boon to Linux.
It is possible to have a phone number for another area code run to your home, it's called a Foreign Exchange. They have a one time setup cost, and then some monthly maintenance fee. I have no idea what the cost is these days, but 11 years ago I paid $400 to have one run from my rural home so that I could make local calls to an ISP. It was much cheaper than paying long distance 24x7 to be on the internet.
Like I said, I have no idea what they cost, but it might be worth looking into, phone rates are much different than they were 11 years ago.
You will most likely need to talk to a well informed phone company support person (i.e. supervisor), probably in the business services dept., to get one of these installed. Most of the regular grunts have no idea how to order one for you.
The third paragraph says that software can't be moved, "next to impossible". Then shortly after says that MS swiped the TCP/IP stack from BSD.
I sorta lost interest after that...
Not to say code was stolen or his other points are wrong, but his assertion that code can't be lifted I completely disagree with and to start a response with such a crappy premise and then contradict yourself right away doesn't seem like a good plan of attack.
I live in Cambridge near MIT, maybe you should look around some more, there is a lot of different architecture in Cambridge. If Cantabrigians wanted all the same looking stiff crud they'd move to Boston where they are more strict about how stuff looks.
BTW, the Virgin Records store (formally Tower Records) is designed by the same architect. There is a large plateau on one of the corners where a large teabag was supposed to go, as in Boston Tea Party. The residents of Back Bay stopped the tea bag from going up. The Stata center is some small way a big f u to the Back Bay which is right across the river.
Drive around Cambridge more, there is a lot more here than just the swapfest.
I don't remember reading this when I took the AP tests 18 years ago. Then again, I don't remember the multiple choice questions either.
I can't believe they ever made kids do it in C++, wretched.
Xenon headlights require around 20,000+ volts to ignite and the ballast and accompanying circuity pose a serious safety risk to rescuers. The 20,000 volts is only needed when they are turned on, but nonetheless the generating circuitry is there. My understanding is that stock cars with these systems have a safety mechanism which disables the high voltage circuitry if the airbags go off.
This article seems a bit of a red herring, cars are just goddamn dangerous things in so many ways.
I usually check Yahoo! shopping before I buy, there are a ton of small shops there which offer low prices and free shipping. It's worth checking, very fast and convenient.
It's not the place to get super deals, but worth the few minutes to check.

Soundblaster for E450 Probably where this guy got the idea to begin with.

It certainly explains a lot about the reality distortion field at Sun these days.
"ideal machine" ?
The guys at Apple working on the 80gb iPod must be falling out of their chairs.

Do you have to pay taxes on the $2mil?
Why are they defining a whole new API?

SIGH.

My RFID implanted dog bought the whole club a round of drinks.
I first read it as "dinner with my wife", which makes much more sense.
