RTFA? I had fun finding the pictures that looked like paper tape and hollerith punch cards... then I ran across the one that looked like a program board for an IBM 557 and gave up.
I would rather use console switches in binary, but I used a early line editor (years ago) to write my own editor. Besides, rumor has it, EDLIN was the only program actually written by Bill Gates.
4. No meeting, class, or gathering should last more than a micro-century. Do the math; 365.2425 x 100 = days in century x 1440 = minutes in a century / 1M = Maximum meeting time. Minimum 0, so 40 minutes does fall within the law.
Kill all your spam filters, then print it out and use it to heat your house when it gets cold. Problem solved, especially if you use green paper and ink.
Cool... how do you use Google Reader to access/. ? Is that an IE only thing? I use Linux and FireFox. Will it work with that? If it does, can I migrate to GR for all my on-line applications?
What about wireless network names? Drive around sometime with wifi-radar or one of the other hotspot scanners and you may discover My Network: NoNetHere or NoneThere, depending on how you parse. One of my machines is NowHere or is it NoWhere? No particular theme, just what pops out while setting a machine up. So I end up with names like M00, P00, anonxmous, y0da, etla (Extended or Enhanced or Expanded Three Letter Acronym), etcetera.
Not invalid, but different than what you expect. A leading zero in an ip address implies octal rather than decimal number base. An ip of 216.34.181.45 is not the same as 216.034.181.045, one gets you nowhere and the other gets you spam, or vice versa.
The actual limit is 255 dimensions, or it was the last time I used APL/2. Now someone is going to come up with a 256th dimension (Index Origin 1) and the universe as we know it will cease to exist.
Back in the good old days when I was actually designing, coding, implementing code, I was given the mandate of "1 bug per KLOC". Had a hell of a time getting that many bugs in my code just for the testers to try to find. They only thing they found were features they did not understand.
BTW I flagged all the bugs in source so I could find them. Must have been a trivial program. All assembler, no highlevel language other than notes on napkins.
Maybe Rush should switch to Gmail?
I have some ROK Rockwell Automation stock I received as a gift, and have been following the price over the past few years. Does it ever bounce around.
I am keeping the stock, as it keeps going up over time. Has not split yet.
News because this is so '70s... Rohr corporation in Chula Vista was doing this with their Automove wharehouse. Bill Baily (won't you please come home) started a food delivery service using the Rohr system. People had a catalog, would call in their order, put it on their tab, and it would be filled and delivered. Almost nobody paid their tab, so they went bust after a few months when the investers money ran out.
This is news, because someone found a way to collect the money?
... and then I had to hold their hands and show them how easy is really is to patch a phone line to a cat 5 jack in the phone room. Their network engineer told me flat out that DSL will not work over cat-5e cable. "The phone company uses Cat6 to your house!" is what he said. I was amazed at how undereducated these IT and networking people were.
Shame on you for not educating him by putting an extra twist in that cat5 cable to make it cat6 so it would work:-)
Because they have a wish list http://www.digibarn.com/help/index.html of *junk they want. My last move, I tossed a lot of old computer stuff like WORM drive, Diablo daisy wheel printer, paper tape reader, teletype, monochrome monitors, Rockwell AIM-65, manuals, old operating systems, and the list goes on.
But I kept my first computer, a Geniac, for no good reason. Ah, the memories when you turn 0100 (octal).
I had subscribed to PC ragazine back with Volume 1 number 1 when it actually had some content. When they went to the "new" format (Sears Roebuck catalog of advertisements) I dropped it and never went back. Lots of things are free that we take for granted. Like a free trip around the sun every year.
Too bad he had to step down to make his real fealings known. So, the truth comes out. After all these years. Maybe if a few more reporters would step down, we would get some actual coverage rather than the paid for view.
I have no interest in running any Windows, as Linux and other OS's do everything I want and need. Gotta go boot into XP now to update the AV, Firewall, ad-blockers, security crap, and defrag the disk. Then back to Linux to get some real stuff done, like reading/.:-)
There is perception amongst many others that/dev/null is unused. They just don't realize you can back up your entire system there without using any media. At least until you get a bit bucket overflow.
from info chattr:
When a file with the 'A' attribute set is accessed, its atime record is
not modified. This avoids a certain amount of disk I/O for laptop sys-
tems. This can be a file or a directory recursively with the "-R" option.

That would be "Clod Computting", but I doubt it would get past the marketing weasels.

Of course if you put the prisms 1 meter apart, and call it a yard, you will break the law.
What about pron? That is what drives new technology. That and SPAM.

I for one, am not concerned. Forking spawn of shell... NOW!
In other words, it is like bringing a gun to a knife fight.
