Bullshit, the first PDA was by Psion, the Organizer II, in 1986. Apple only invented the term "PDA". That and five bucks will get Apple coffee at Starbucks.
Maybe you overlook the longer lived stuff because it's everywhere and we're used to seeing it. What about the operating systems, languages and utilities your computer are using? your office applications? the major database management systems? What about the webserver software? what about commerce, banking, healthcare, MRP, ERP systems?
The whole premise is stupid anyway. I've worked with plenty of scientists in national labs that turn out production grade, maintainable code; and programmers who didn't. The core issue is getting people who write code for reuse by others to follow guidelines, regardless of title or profession.
that was a school performance? gawd, didn't anyone think about damaging young people's ears for the rest of their lives? I love firearms, but I love my ears too, hearing protection is a must *outdoors*, in a fucking *gym*...!!?????
don't know where you live, but visiting in my wife's country we can just cut out the internet altogether and buy pirate dvd for $1. or sometime four movies on one disk for $2. not that we would do such a horrible evil thing....much....
lost? there were firewire devices, and firewire on pc (my quad core workstation and my laptop both have them as well as usb). It may not have caught on as they hoped, but it was a useful (and faster) option for quite a few years.
right, should have used a disposable computer with reverse tunnel for his access to transfer data, or to remotely update whatever login credentials to victim system. Computer systems can be so very small nowadays.....
Don't forget the known lifetime and decay branching ratios. Could say everything is known about Higgs except mass if standard model correct, and mass must be in certain range, perhaps a little larger than what you gave (say less than 20 GeV more at each end)
Scalability? I can run other dbms on huge n-way systems. Scaling with RAC, well in the case of read-only with the entire database fitting into memory, sure. Other situations maybe not so much........RAC is more for redundancy than for performance at my clients that have it.
sure, they offer in some places, but here even their UVerse is capped at 3 mbit. I had comcast before, and so over-subscribed it was even worse in practice than my ADSL though claimed 8 mbit/sec. They had outages too. Hence the reason I dropped them
hahaha, that thread is about an Windows PC that is infected, putting copies of an.exe onto every writable share, including in that case a G5 powerPC mac. Thanks for proving my point.
what's so great about it? As part of my job I have to set up and config and tune Oracle, been doing that for 20 years. But instead of a Oracle RAC cluster, for instance, could just run solid alternative database (e.g. postgresql) on a large SMP system (getting pretty cheap with all these cores AMD and Intel are slapping on a chip) with any one of several replication mechanisms (some of which don't impact host performance one bit)
my pc and laptop have firewire ports along with the USB, probably thanks largely to Apple. For a while was better than USB, and also I used it to simulate shared SAN-attached disk for clustering for some projects
Yup, that's how I watch movies because a large chunk of our U.S. internet is behind third world class in its ability to stream or even deliver movies in a timely manner. AT&T's trickle of a pipe (3 MB/sec) isn't sufficient with my family of four and my various other IT things going.

sounded to me like a dual layer dvd of pirated Iiona Staller porn
Having built the shittiest forum interface in all of webdom, did you actually imagine the slashdot staff would subject themselves to such by using it?
the efficiency of a thermocouple is very low, under 7%. A heat engine will produce many times the power of a thermocouple in the same situation.

grad students != scientists
Code by students who are actually learning to code professionally will have the same issues.
The other half of my career dealt with in-house code writers. I can assure you they have the same problem, by and large, and worse code

you say defense, I say subjugation, whatever.
black holes do take a long massive pee, they evaporate by Hawking radiation.
Quit using two bloated desktops that jumped the shark and have roadmaps leading to buggy piles of shit as milestones, and your problems are solved.

don't forget all those Sun and SGI workstations in the 90s, big part of my life at the time. My NeXTStation at home had SCSI too.
