Several events described in the bible (both as "history" and "prophecy") resemble effects that would have been seen at the eastern end of the Mediterranean during and following the Thera explosion a millennium and a half or so B.C.
I hate to point this out, but the first three novels in Brin's "Uplift" series are not a trilogy. _Sundiver_ shares no characters with _Startide Rising_ (though there are references to the events and one or two characters), _The Uplift War_ refers to events leading up to _Startide Rising_ (since the ship involved had precipitated the crisis and war) and has a brief cameo of one of the participants in _Sundiver_ at the end (a century and more after after), but such does not build a trilogy. There would be a better argument for calling _Startide Rising_ a prequel to the Sooner trilogy, a la _The Hobbit_, except that there isn't enough lack of continuity.
They did that once. It was called Xenix. Microsoft wasn't competent to make it an end-user product so they licensed it to Altos, Tandy, IBM and SCO. The attempt at Xenix is where Microsoft got most of the things that differentiate MS-DOS from CP/M, such as subdirectories, I/O redirection, pipes &c. It's only recently that SCO was able to purge the last Microsoft code from their Unix. (I don't know if it's still the case, but Microsoft _did_ own a substantial chunk of SCO).
Try a couple of blocks over. The BK on Broadway between John Street and Maiden Lane. I haven't been in a BK since shortly after they changed the french fry recipe, but I've been walking past their sign for months.

I'll assume that it's two arms belonging to separate people, based on observation that pairs of butt cheeks are almost always the same color.
I realize that it would be twenty times as expensive as the equivalent processing power built around Intel chips, but the thought of an SP frame full of multiprocessor nodes configured as a Beowulf setup gives me a cheap thrill.
