Another possibility is that the Navy thought the 38 licenses were for concurrent use a la network licenses, or were restricted to specific users or hardware tokens, meaning that having the software on 550,000 machines isn't the same as being able to use it on all 550,000 machines at the same time, or by 550,000 users.
I don't think you understood my point. I used to be a pirate, back in the days when CDROM was all the rage and it took time to find the correct pirated copy of the game and sometimes I got viruses that required reformatting my gaming pc.
This is what I have to do with DRM. DRM ruins my machines. I just play old games that I own with no DRM. I got annoyed by Mechwarrior4 not working in any CD-ROM drive I owned (like GP mentioned).
Finally a game I feel safe buying, assuming it's any good. DRM has done nothing good for my computers. You essentially have to clone your computer, install the game, play & finish, then restore from your clone to be sure the DRM hasn't hurt anything.
That's crazy. Everyone knows that in order to move a planet you need to harness the energy potential difference from between normal space and hyperspace.
Simple: change the gravitational constant of the Universe.
Yes but that isn't the problem, is it? I responded to a person that thinks unstructured textual input/output is good for representing things that mostly are touched by computers
But the context wasn't regarding systemd and its binary-ness, but instead powershell, which is a shell; a user interface by definition.
It is SO "systemd". More of the binary is better bullshit.
Hint: computers work in binary.
Users work in alphanumeric strings.
Computers are fast, users are slow. Letting the computer represent data in a manner that avoids conversions between external data to/from internal data avoids a lot of unnecessary computation.
The shell is the point of interaction between the user and the computer. The computer is fast. Very fast compared to the user. The computer can afford to spend a couple extra cycles to format output for the user and translate input from the user in the space between a user's keystrokes.
I'm waiting for Trump to announce Hillary as his running mate, and Hillary to announce the other way. That would make the whole election a great big troll.
That's the way it used to work. Not with the running mates, but runner-up was VP. it was an extra layer of gridlock where the VP could vote against executive interest with the deciding vote if there was a tie in the Senate, just to stick it to the President. Now tie votes are assured to follow executive branch interests.
Stupid meteors... Coming to our planet and taking extinction level event causing jobs away from hard-working Earth-based calamities. Super Volcano would have the best eruptions. Fantastic. He's destroy the most people ever. He's getting tons of compliments for how much destruction he'd cause. He'll build a wall of smoke around the world and make us all pay for it... with our lives.
This November, Vote Super Volcano 2016!
Hey, I'm just glad the job is staying in the Solar System. Rogue Brown Dwarf wants to rip Earth from its orbit and send the extinction level event causing jobs to another part of the universe. Meteors are downright middle-of-the-road, politically speaking.
I purposefully read at -1, even when I don't have mod points. I like to see what the moderators dislike. They're usually good at their job, but sometimes they just mod down what they dislike, possibly thinking that they're dealing with a troll instead of someone who has a markedly different viewpoint.
Probably a much higher proton number, since Elerium is used to produce anti-gravity, so the isotopes of Elerium probably contain anti-neutrons which reduce the atomic weight down to 115.
90's video game pseudo science! Woo!
They walk into your cubicle silently as you type, and you're not allowed to face the screen away from the opening because of some middle-management power play. I have an office with a door, and I close it when I need to read confidential stuff on the screen. Thankfully no windows (but unfortunately, one Windows).
Why shouldn't a user of a system be able to run a process that takes several days to complete?
In general they shouldn't because it is a shared resource and that's consuming too much of it.
So if I nice a process out the wazoo so that instead of using 100% of the CPUs for a couple hours while I remain logged in it will now take 72 hours at 0.36% CPUs, that's a *bad* thing? FYI, human time is a precious resource, and requiring someone to hit a space bar every X minutes so they don't auto-logout of their session and kill their hours-long process is a waste of human-time.

"We're going to kill cash," he said. "Nobody likes to carry around cash."
"We're going to kill anonymous transactions," he said. "Nobody likes anonymity."
That's what he essentially said. Anyone wonder why Apple sales are faltering?
And "privacy experts are concerned!" And the useful idiots think that Mrs. Clinton is their friend.
Well, she wipes hard drives when she's done with them. That's S.O.P. for privacy, right?
Watch out - he's a 2nd Dan in keyboardarate!
I'm now imagining a side-scroller typing game called keyboardarateka.
I once did the same, it was my bike after all. Someone had put an other lock on it, hoping they would get back with tools before I did.
Now imagine someone put their own vomit-inducng lock on your bike.

You'd probably need Rainman. Just show him the numbers
But if he's a blind version of Rainman, how will you show him the numbers?

otherwise we'd be more valuable as we are â" producing art, literature and so on

More of these types of articles please. These are the things mass media does not report.

We've had to use robocopy et al to delete too-long-named directory trees for how many years now?
Maybe the second one since they would have known his criminal history. Although i bet he really did have it.
