The Digital Equipment Corporation's VAX line was entirely compatible with MUMPS (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MUMPS). I guess you could say that VAX did nothing to destroy MUMPS, and in fact, was instrumental in its spread, seeing how integral DEC computers were to the greater Boston-area industries in the 80s.
AKA "Early Adopters"..... early adopters necessarily adopt things before they have had a chance to fail or succeed in the marketplace. Unless they can show these people also don't ever adopt successful products, this seems like selecting the data to prove your theory. Or, maybe these people just recently discovered McDonald's....
The original programmer is still around, and occasionally does some maintenance on the programmer -- he even comments extensively in the comment section for the linked news story about the specific challenges they face. (He's "Jeff").
The $2MM will be used for a general upgrade of all the heating/cooling facilities, which will include more modern control systems. Many of the systems that used to be controlled by the Amiga have already been replaced, and the Amiga doesn't manage those any more:)
Nice try. The word "soccer" was invented by the British as an abbreviation for "association football". The Brits just stopped using it out of spite when we took it up:)
Both the Atari and Commondore computers you mention had a couple additional processors to handle video, sound, etc. They didn't go with just the 6502 alone. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J...
The growth in childhood debilitating disease is overwhelmingly due to obesity, asthma, and ADHD. The last of which was only in the past decades recognized as an actual condition. Asthma is related to obesity, and obesity is related to kids not being as active as they once were, perhaps because sending your kid out to play can get you arrested and your child taken away from you.
Once we reach the 21 million BtC cap, miners will stop mining them and will no longer be confirming transactions as a by-product of the mining process. The only possible way to continue will be to change BtC to raise the limits and get people mining again. The calculation will still be getting exponentially harder, while the number of BtCs increase linearly. The carbon footprint with traditional currencies is linear.
So, the BtC carbon footprint will always increase -- and increase lots. If we're lucky, our computing abilities will increase faster.
I wonder how many Brazilians are going to install American tech in their homes programmed to watch and identify everyone who comes near it, listen to every word, and (once required to be, now just usually) connect to the Internet to phone home. How many Brazilians will pay for the privilege?
They weren't building hardware -- they were using third party hardware. That people were unlikely to have or for which they had any other use. They were just building the software.
He winced because vacuum doesn't have a temperature. You have to have something to heat up before you can measure its heat.
A telescope in Earth's orbit would receive just as much solar radiation when not eclipsed by the Earth's shadow as some point directly beneath the Sun on the Earth's surface -- more, because Earth's atmosphere scatters and reflects a lot of the radiation.
Here's the million-dollar idea. Make Rebuttal-pedia, a place where Jason Lanier and people like him can post their side of the story, and it can then be used a source for Wikipedia articles.

Return for trial and sentencing, Obama pardons him last day in office.
Do you squirt the social on your Zune? That was the most bizarre thing ever.

"Roadmarks" by Roger Zelazny had a minor character who did that.

Why blow up the moon when there's so much stuff to blow up here on Earth?

I really loved the movie. They made a book out of it? Cool! Gotta look it up!

Huh? Asimov originally serialized the Foundation series in Astounding Magazine, for which he was paid quite well.
Those Golden Age SF pros didn't write a word if they weren't going to be paid for that word. This was their livelihood.

XBone. Enjoy your illusion of privacy.

Probably none of them, but if one were, it would be the one between "these" and "ellipsis", but you probably wanted "ellipses" there anyway.
I can't figure out if you used "for all intensive purposes" ironically, or if you really don't realize it's "for all intents and purposes".
Argh.
Isn't sunlight radiation?
Subtle!

Blue Oyster Cult sigs FTW. That's all.
... and it had about as much to do with its parent story as "Blade Runner" did to "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?".
And he's had plenty experience getting rid of jobs already!
