You must be very young. Never heard of the sadly departed Digital Equipment Corporation and the DEC VT100 terminals have you?
What is today called an ISP, used to be known as a Computer Bureau, thirty odd years ago. These places ran DEC mainframes or minis with an army of terminals scattered throughout a city to run UNIX accounting systems.
Using terminals is only useful, if they are much cheaper than PCs. The old DEC VTs were much more expensive than a PC, which caused them to fall out of favour. A terminal should cost about $100 to be worth it. Maybe the $100 laptop project will make good terminals and then the office workers can get their daily exercise by winding them up...
People must be pretty dense if they didn't know this.
It is also pretty common for sellers to pose as different entities - if you follow enough links for similar sales, you'll pretty quickly find that they al lead back to the same store.
It is strange how in the USA, over the centuries, the power of the Federal government has grown. In Canada, the opposite happened and the Federal government has lost much of its power. The Canadian Feds are pretty much held hostage by the crybaby Quebec on the one side and the revenue sources Ontario and Alberta on the other side.
A shuttle stuck in orbit can be resupplied within days. There are various ways to do it: Ask Russia, China, Japan, Europe, Navy and Air Force whether anyone has a rocket ready. At least one of them will have something that can be redied very quickly, then build a supply package to fit on it and launch. It would be easier to resupply a shuttle than to bring the crew down, but that can be done after a while, by Nasa, Russia or China.
From what I read, human being produced smoke is about 3% of the amount outgassed by volcanoes. This is an obvious indication that the human impact on the atmosphere is quite minimal in the greater scheme of things. If the atmosphere is changing, then it is most probably due to increased volcanism, not increased SUV sales...
Slashdot Mirror
disks carried all of 128KB of data - a huge improvement of punch cards and paper tape though...
Woo, giving my age away here.

I guess you get the idea...

Not to mention slow as molassis.
Most Canadians non-religious. It varies from about 10% in the west to 30% in Quebec.
Use hundreds of computers around the world as proxies to shill on your own auction.
Profit!!!
Laugh all the way to the bank.
Pay taxes with a smile.

Don't fix it if it ain't broke: up 292 days, 22:26 The reason for the short uptime, is PSU upgrades...
All that requirement will do is force everybody doing a disaster recovery to use a pirate copy of Vista, since it will be much less trouble.
will sooner or later give you shit... ;)

There has been many. Lotus123 shipped virus infested disks many, many years ago.
Hmm, a total POS - I tried to install it using Wine and it wouldn't work...
So use Mandriva. It has MCC, which works better than 'control panel'.
Just going up and down. The difference in gravity-centripetal acceleration between the poles and equator is small.
Hmm, more bacteria with Windex and squeegees, inside your eye...
Deliver drugs to the inside of the eye using mold? They don't think there would be a minor complication with getting rid of the mold afterwards?
Well, fortunately my coffee mug is already empty, else yet another perfectly good keyboard would have been ruined now...
You should install a bot on one of your machines, to protect the other three...
What is so new about that? Just go and visit your grandma and ask her for some her delicious coffee cake...
That is too long ago to be useful information. I'd like to know what the cavemen did to bring about the end the last ice age, 10,000 years ago.
Yes, but there is no intelligent life anymore.
