"Bah. Doesn't anyone here know how AOL Mail works!?"
Well, this is Slashdot.
- Three Slashdot members with ID numbers in the low hundreds designed their infrastructure while consulting for them back in 1988, and
- Six Slashdot members with ID numbers in the mid-thousands sold their companies to them in the 1999 dot-com frenzy, and
- Untold thousands of members in the hundred-thousand range have actually had an AoL account, just using it as an on-the-road e-mail fix and then cancelling, or because their parents got it bundled with the family PC and had to use it.
But no, we don't know how AoL email works now, because we haven't had to go upstairs from the basement to fix Mom's computer ever since we gave her a gmail invite.
In cases such as the "Magic Bullet" made famous after the JFK assination, could a "shot" thread through many processes, or take up several timeslices before finally killing said process?
Wouldn't such a situation introduce instability into BSD? Do we need to call in Oliver Stone?

You're new here, aren't you?
This is going to be the best prom ever...
