Sorry if I mis-phrased my explanation; the last time I did assembly programming was a decade ago on MC68k.
The exact missing capability is called pseudo little-endian mode. According to some old documentation, this will "make memory appear to the processor as true little-endian by playing with the addresses of load/stores, but without reversing any bytes. The result is a fast, simulated little-endian world, but it's not true little-endian in memory - numbers do not have reversed bytes, but their starting addresses are changed."
Since this article doesn't even include a link about VPC, I can't curmudgeonly tell you to RTFA. So...
The G3 and G4 series include support for both big- and little-endian modes. VPC uses assembly-level little-endian instructions for obvious performance reasons. The G5 is only big-endian. Poof.
I think that everything is political in some way, and that sacrificing morality for mere practicality is dangerously frivolous.
If you're so worried about computer ethics, why do you have a Hotmail account and use Macromedia products running on Windows to create your web pages? Do you believe that ASPL is morally worse than MS-EULA, or are you being hypocritical?
However we don't have a complete list of all MTA's on campus
And there's your problem. Send a memo to all departments next week saying "report your MTA addresses to NOC". A month later block SMTP at the firewall to/from all other addresses. JHU did that last spring, and life has been good.
AOL has many flaws, but this is not one of them. AOL's abuse team devotes huge effort to stopping spam (both inbound and outbound). Unfortunately they are the largest target, which means they get proportionally more spam than anyone else. Not just absolute numbers, but the relative spam-per-user count. We're talking multiple dictionary attacks per hour, if not per minute.
AOL blocks the majority of it (the last reported number was a few billion per day) but the amount that gets through is still more than you're likely to see at a small local domain account.
People can brew their own beer and grow their own tobacco, but they don't. What makes you think everyone would grow their own weed?
You said the magic word: Marijuana is a weed. Just drop a couple seeds in some dirt and it's likely to grow. With full-spectrum lights it grows in your closet. Wait a few months, pluck some buds, and you're ready to smoke. It's just plain fucking easy.
Tobacco plants are poisonous and harder to grow. And as for alcohol, it's a pain in the butt that requires all sorts of equipment.
show me ANY provider who has not hosted a spammer at one time or another
You do not understand SPEWS
if spam is sent to trap, list spammer IPs only, notify ISP
if spam continues, expand list to nearby IPs, notify ISP
if spammer remains, expand list further, possibly upstream
Yes, every ISP is abused by spammers at some point. The key is that responsible ISPs terminate them immediately, and the block goes away. Whereas if the ISP harbors spammers (malice, neglect, or otherwise) then expansion is deserved.
As always, remember that blocklists have absolutely no power on their own (except for MAPS/Above.net which is sadly corrupt, IMO). They do not control any email except their own. The actual blocking is done by independent sites and their email administrators, of their own volition. If I choose not to receive email from particular IPs, that is entirely up to me, and to anyone who pays me for service. Period.
Prove it. From the evidence that I've seen, IPs are on SPEWS if their host refuses to dump spammers. Period.
The list is such a joke that the RBL test may be taken out of SpamAssassin
Not a joke, just a different purpose. SpamAssassin treats symptoms, comfortably like NyQuil; SPEWS treats disease, painfully like chemotherapy. It's the wrong blocklist if you want to avoid false positives.
SPEWS intentionally blocks other customers of a spam-friendly hosts in order to elicit financial backlash against the host. Like it or not, many sites prefer to use SPEWS for this exact reason. Its spammer kill rate is indisputable; hosts on SPEWS either deal with their spammers or lose their legit customers.

I immediately stopped receiving virus alerts from NSC.com
Its not always just 'scummy' hosters that get blocked
What do you mean by 'scummy'? I define it as any host who doesn't boot all spammers (whether direct sender, web site, dropbox, etc). So for example, I would say that Cogentco, Internap and UUnet are scum. Not to mention the usual sleaze-hosters like VSNL, ValueWeb, and the entirety of Brazil.
doesn't directly effect me so I am all for it. Then of course you will be crying foul when it does
A few years ago, JHU was put on blocklists during two consecutive Septembers. We didn't complain, since we fully deserved it (freshmen with open relays). Since then we firewalled SMTP to allow only approved servers, and now we're fully de-listed.
If blocklists didn't work, sysadmins wouldn't use them.
they have not tried to make Safari an inseperable part of the OS as MS has
Sorry, you're a few months late. WebCore is already being used for the iTunes store interface, and Panther will use it to run the Help system and any other inline HTML rendering.
Of course, there is the advantage that WebCore is LGPL, but OS/Browser integration is definitely here.
SCO has made their point very well with the identical comments.
Except that the symbol-font comments being discussed in this thread (about rmfree) are not in Linux. The part that is identical comes from a textbook. And where in your ass did this 890,000 LoC number come from? URL please?
Face it. There is stolen code in Linux
Unless both Linux and SCO legally copied the code from a BSD-licensed version of UNIX(tm). Or unless SCO stole the code from Linux. Until each party shows verifiable changelogs for the relevant sections, it's very much an open question.
Except that the current iBooks have the exact same 32MB VRAM as the current 867MHz PowerBooks. 16MB per screen is plenty for Extreme, and besides, you can dual-display even without that. I use it on my dear old Pismo with an 8MB Rage 128 all the time.
The lack of dual display is entirely 100% for market-line differentiation.
Yep, one very bad release, out of how many? Also, the fact that a core group of few dozen guys, aided by a few hundred intermittent volunteers, are roughly able to match the code and quality of the entire trillion dollar Windows industry.
I think the open source side would definitely have the advantage, if they were anywhere close to equal footing.
IMO, 200ish names on a single ballot item is flat out insane. It makes the Infamous Butterfly look like an elegant masterpiece. If a decent number of the other "minor" candidates opted to drop out and endorse a larger-name candidate with similar views, would you consider doing the same?
Why (/not), and what other candidate(s) would you endorse?
Not exactly; he was trying to be accurate. He really likes Macs, and is a personal friend of Steve Jobs. However, as vice-president he had to interface with a lot of Windows-only government systems, so he used a PC.
Now that he's out of office, he's got a Mac again. Probably has some Wintels too.
President Bush was pleased with the news. "America must move ahead with the task at hand. Our country faces a great danger and with the help of Windows XP we can have an army of flying soldiers to help with the war on terrorism," said Bush.

Well, the (upper-end) G5 has about as much GPU and bandwidth as you can buy in the consumer market.

Anything that kills internet traffic in the Spam Capital of the World would make my life better. Please Florida, tax your LANs to death!

Very swiftly? Are you sure about that? I also see active SBL records that are 6 months old.
Do you really think these blacklist sites take the ISP off then?AFAICT, yes, SPEWS de-lists when all the spammers are gone.

Your list is way too short. There are lots more executable file extensions that should be blocked at the border.
Well, you could always RTFM. Post your question on NANAE or NANAB and the group will tell you exactly why you're in SPEWS.
