Do you know why they're not used any more? iirc the main reason was labour cost and the fact that at the time they were phased out the cost difference between coal and deisel was much lower than it is today.
steam engines usually (at least in europe i belive the us used mechanical stocking more) needed a fireman whilst running and a LOT of care and attention between days of running. diesel engines don't need any of that.
yep ms rocketed to success and took its early employees (who were in share schemes etc) with it.
but that isn't going to happen for you if you work for them now! They are a big company who have little opertunity to grow except through the growth of the entire industry or through abusing thier existing customers more (but that would likely hasten thier demise).
try forcing 33.6, if the line has been DACSed then apparently it often confuses 56K modems and makes them slow down more than they really need to.

1.4 bytecode will run just fine on the 1.5 vm and if you use the right options to the compiler you can even use some of 1.5s new features (such as genererics) and maintain compatibility with the 1.4 vm.
i'd thinnk the obvious way to dock with a rotating space station would be to have the port in the middle
possiblly even have the port non-rotating and have some kind of transfer chamber (e.g. you crawl into the transfer chamber close the door and then it would match rotation with the rest of the station open another door and you crawl out)
i'm pretty damn sure there are plenty of viruses that afffect 9x still kicking arround on the net. There certainly were the last time i stupidly connected a win98 box to the net without firewalling a few years back and i can't see any reason for them to dissapear.

The IDE we have today isn't much more advanced than the IDE that Borland introduced back in the early 80's hmm i'd disagree there
there are 3 types of ides i've come accross
1: simple IDEs (e.g. tp7 and tpw): compilation error location and sometimes debugging built in but largely simple text editors from the point of view of coding work. 2: gui orientated IDEs (e.g. vb and delphi): good for making guis fast but don't really give you much help with anything else. 3: advanced IDEs (e.g eclipse): theese actually do a lot of the coding drudgework (which java has a LOT of) for you, make something a field because you are lazy and/or hate writing a method call just to set/get something but now want it as getter/setter methods (because thats coding standards or because you need to add a sideeffect)? no problem! wan't to use getters/setters from the start but don't wan't to write them by hand? again no problem! wan't to rename something without the false matches a simple search and replace gives? again no problem!
There is already support in the protocol for text messages which are never saved in the users inbox. These are generally called "flash sms" and, whilst not being quite the same, work close enough, are supported in the majority of handsets and is here today. yeah my network (02 in the uk) uses those for balance information after each call (pay as you go service).
They claim to have a workaround in place for if its purely a ms server, if there is a ms server delegating to a unix server though then the workaround won't work.
but anyway which would you preffer 1: a slashdotted site that noone can access? 2: a non-slashdotted site that requires you to edit the url to visit it if you are on a shitty network?
your post is incoherent there is no such thing as "Characters 128-158 in ASCII" and the iso-8859 charsets don't contain direct equivilents for stuff at those positions (though in some cases e.g. quotes and dashes a fallback mapping would be possible)
but anyway the exact cause of the problem is largely irrelevent. the fact is that text shows in one app you copy it to the clipboard paste it somewhere else and it doesn't appear at all is extremely bad! Its the sort of thing that linux fanboys put up with but that really pisses off people who come from windows where clipboard functionality works properly in the vast majority of cases!
DRM does not (necessarily) equal Sony installing rootkits drm in general relies on making a users computer work against the user, that pretty much requires rootkit like behaviour. The only reason sony got in so much shit over this one was they made thier rootkit availible for other apps to hide with by mistake.
hmm i'm at unviversity and only a few lecturers (at least in my department) seem to write much on the ohp
most use either the ohp or a laptop and data projector (a few of the rooms also have desktops availible connected to the projectors and some lecuturs use theese when availible and an ohp when not) for ready made slides highlighting things on them occasionally as they talk (which you CAN do in powerpoint btw) but if they wan't to do something thats not aready covered in their slides (say to clarify a point,show working through a problem etc) they just use a blackboard.
Who uses ISDN in a new installation anyway (for the pupose of this post i will use normal broadband to reffer to dsl/cable interner services) anyone who wan'ts on demand and very dependable conectivity (normal broadband whilst cheap doesn't have particualarlly high uptime gaurantees) but doesn't use it enough of the time to justify a dedicated cuircuit.
or anyone who wants more than dialup, can't afford a dedicated cuircuit and can't get normal broadband.
or anyone who has lots of pots and would like a few more without major disruption (isdn bri gets two channels/pair iirc)
and i believe primary rate isdn is used to terminate calls from 56K modems.
that assumes they care about being "well run". what incentive do they have to do anything more than plug a few pcs into a broadband router and take money for using them?
the firewall shouldn't need updating unless a bug is found and even when they do they are pretty rarely exploited anyway.
the AV is just a second line of defense if your firewall crashes or you do something stupid or you download code from dubious sources its a non-issue if you are just connecting.
good above board SEO and bad SEO which may get your site banned from search engines if caught.
good SEO is about running a good site that a bot can navigate and index without knowlage of advanced technologies, not moving shit arround all the time and providing good enough content that people wan't to link to you. A while back i'd have included honest meta tags here too but they are pretty much worthless now afaict. Basically all the stuff you should be doing anyway to make a good quality accessible site.
bad SEO is about finding ways to manipulate the search engine to your own ends without generally improving the site. Spamming your link arround is one way so are some tricks that exploit the alorithm (sometimes involving lots of domains and shit like that). Taking highly ranked domains that have been inadvertantly left to expire regardless of if they have anything to do with your subject matter is another way.

i beleive its possible to design projection systems such that the projected image appears to be at infinity

possiblly even have the port non-rotating and have some kind of transfer chamber (e.g. you crawl into the transfer chamber close the door and then it would match rotation with the rest of the station open another door and you crawl out)
which if any browsers actually support downloading fonts?
the danger isn't the product of the reaction the danger is the heat the reaction creates!
but then you probablly new that and were just propogating the DHMO hoax.

afaict the 5 second rule is bullshit, if anything was going to be picked up it would happen immediately on contact.
is there anything legally to stop stores selling stuff thats not approved by UL?
if so then then the free market isn't going to be able to replace them!
if not then why does anyone bother listening to them?

if they REALLY can't fix it on thier end then they are incompetant its as simple as that.
so they are either incompetent or don't care either way it would make me wan't to avoid them.

agreed i was responding to the first part of the parent post not the second as my quoting clearly indicated.
