Nothing will read hard sectored RX50 disks, because there's no such thing. They are soft sectored, and PC hardware can read/write them. Please see the link another poster gave: http://home.iae.nl/users/pb0aia/vax/rx50.html
We hear the aliens say "Neutralize invaders for analysis," and John and Aeryn are freeze-dried into piles of little marbles, not vaporized. I imagine we'll find out that the folks who did it have the technology to reconstitute them after the analysis. Yeah, that's far-fetched, but obviously they don't die.
The part that bothered me is that we see a few of the little marbles fall into the water. Makes me wonder if they will be (ahem) missing some of their marbles when they get put back together. Maybe they end up forgetting some things about each other.
Another odd possibility is that their pieces get mixed together and don't get quite correctly separated, so that they end up sharing memories or some such thing.
More likely the magic technology will bring them back perfectly, though.
Q. Who are the dancing girls featured in A Charlie Brown Christmas?
A. The twin sisters named "Three" and "Four," who are most commonly recognized as the bouncy dancing girls in A Charlie Brown Christmas, were characters from the daily PEANUTS in the 60's. They had an Older Brother named "Five."
In the strips' story line, their father names them with numbers in protest of society's ever-growing trend of reducing human lives to statistics. Their last name is actually 95742 - the family's zip code. Most have deduced that this was a bit of Mr. Schulz's social commentary as to 1960's activism. Each of the three characters was seldom seen after the early 70's.
It appears that both Yahoo and ETrade always show a bid of 0.01 and an ask of 9000.00 on SCO when the market is closed.
Looking at a few other stocks at random, it seems common for ridiculously low bids and high asks, though not always 0.01 and 9000.00, to show up when the market is closed.
Maybe some mildly evil person always puts in bogus bids at the end of the day to wipe out the last real bid and ask prices, or maybe it means nothing at all. Anyone really know?
I had a real rush of pleasant memories when I saw Keisler's book reviewed here. I'm sorry the parent poster had a bad experience with a lousy professor using Keisler's book before it was finished.
My older brother bought me a copy of Keisler's book as a birthday present in 1977 as I was just finishing high school. (My high school didn't offer calculus.) I read the book on my own over the summer, doing a section or two a day after I got home from my summer job working maintenance at a nursing home. I found it very clear and interesting reading, although I do confess to being a math nut.
By the end of the summer I'd gotten through two semesters' worth. I was able to test out of the first two semesters of calculus (with A's) and started third semester calculus in my freshman year. It was a nice start on my major.
I didn't find it a problem to switch from infinitesimals to the standard epsilon/delta limits-based development. Keisler explains the limit approach too, after he's gotten you a firm intuitive grounding using infinitesimals. Checking the index on my copy of the 1976 edition, the discussion starts on page 299. I had made it well past that part by the time I started third semester calculus with the standard approach.
Pointless. AutoZone moved off of SCO Unix in a way that didn't violate SCO's IP, and got sued anyway. Innocence doesn't stop you from getting sued; it just (hopefully) stops you from losing.
The 7-figure sum was bothering me for a while. What idiot would give SCO more than a million dollars for a worthless license? It could just be a lie, of course, but one way for it to be "true" is if EV1 signed a long-term contract that's worth a total of $1 million over the life of the contract. After all, that's how football players' contracts are publicized -- it makes them sound bigger and more exciting.
EV1 might have agreed to pay SCO $1/year for the next million years, for all we know.
Ethernet was indeed the "networked" part of "the first practical networked personal computers". But the GUI and some of the other items you listed later are also vital parts of makes a computer a *personal* computer. So you're incorrect in saying that the text refers to "Ethernet, no more, no less". It refers to Ethernet, but also much more.
Another point: PARC didn't originate the mouse. Douglas Engelbart invented that at SRI many years before, and the PARC GUI work builds on his ideas. Google for mouse inventor to learn more.
Of course the FSF doesn't require you to assign copyright to them in order to use the GPL on your own programs.
The FSF *does* require you to assign copyright to them (or to formally disclaim copyright, putting your work in the public domain) if you want to contribute code to an official GNU project.
No, I think kma just wanted to give a pointer to the Register article. We VMware employees heard about it at an all-hands meeting at 1pm Pacific Time on Monday (21:00 GMT). The press releases went out during that hour, and the Register article is dated 21:51 GMT.
Info has been around a lot longer than HTML. TeXinfo is the latest incarnation, but TOPS-20 emacs was documented in an older info format when I first started using it in 1981, and probably long before that.

A site that objects to deep linking can redirect pages that come from the wrong referrer to its top page -- they don't have to put out some cryptic error message.
To get past the spurious detection of a debugger, go to the VMware configuration editor and check the "Disable acceleration" box. Once TurboTax starts up, you should be able to uncheck the box again. See this Knowledge Base article for more information.

What's your alternative? Your way of reaching "scientific" conclusions seems to be "I tried it on myself and it worked for me!" A sample size of one provides very little evidence.
In these days of GUIs, people expect to be able to use programs without having to read the manual. Heck, I do myself -- I usually don't crack the manual until I get stuck. So I don't blame the users anymore when they don't read the manuals for the software I write. Making the manual long and detailed can be self-defeating, too -- the fatter the manual, the more daunting it is, and the harder it is to find the one bit that you need.
Back when I was maintaining my free software projects more actively, I followed the mail reduction rule. Anything that I got a lot of mail about was obviously a trouble spot. I'd read the mail and try to think of a way to make that area easier to understand in the next release. Documenting it better or putting into the FAQ was seldom helpful in reducing the incoming mail volume; at best it helped me shorten my answers by making them pointers to the doc. But making the features more intuitive helped a lot. Of course, it's often hard to see how to do that!
It's a cute way of saying "talking with your co-workers in person". Not necessarily planned meetings (though those work better with personal presence than by video or speakerphone too), but all the unplanned times when you just happen to see someone in the corridor and casually talk about the problems you're working on.

People who try to pigeonhole everyone in the world into some small set of discrete personality types are ... annoying.
It's a pet peeve of mine that people keep saying "to no end" when they mean "no end", but "to no ends" is even worse and awakened the pedant in me.
Here's a rundown:
"no end" means "unendingly", which is what CmdrTaco meant here.
"to no end" means "with no goal". This is the same meaning of "end" as appears in the phrase "means to an end".
"to no ends" doesn't appear to mean anything.

Something is very wrong with your analogy if you have VMware and user-mode Linux in the same category.
Of course the FSF doesn't require you to assign copyright to them in order to use the GPL on your own programs.
