I would think that this still has application in todays world. As odd as it may seem, banks still need to transport large volumes of physical cash to each other to back electronic transfers (usually much less than the transfers, because all the ins cancel the outs). It would make sense to scan the SN for each bill to keep it on record. Firstly, if the money is stolen, you have a record. Secondly if the money is destroyed, you can take this measure.
Casinos also have a heavy amount of cash transportation.
If I am transporting large volumes of cash in teh near future, I'll probably do this. Luckily, the effort is proportional to the amount of cash.

Yup it's a goatse link modded to (as of now) 3.
It's easy to verify, though. Rigth click on the post number, and open in a new window. Then resize the window so that it is really small. Then click the link within the post. That way, no blindness occurs.
No, it's much worse. Al Gore was at least able to get more that half the voting populace to vote for him (even if the electoral division made this moot).
The main concern is that the lines on your fingers can have two samples matched by a computer. We do not have this ability when trying to match two facial pictures.
I'm not concerned with software companies offshoring, I'm concerned with the bulk of the software related jobs being outsourced. The amount of IT support jobs vastly outweighs the number of job working for software companies. There's a million companies in other industries (government, bank, insurance) that need IT to run their operations. These companies don't do IT for a living, and don't need the same competative edge. For a bank, it makes more sense to outsource to a campany that handles other bank software because of the experience the 3rd party company has.
It is this large bulk of jobs going overseas as people become more and more effective at managing international projects that has me diversifying my income this year.
I think this is the reason people do give a shit. I'm still using 98SE because ME is a step down in my opinion. This is a huge deal because, effectively, for the home market, MS has given us 98SE and then XP, and XP hasn't been out that long. If ME was aqeduate, 98 would have been more like 95 when it was EOLed: <1% usage. But there are a lot of 98 users still out there.
And to the poeple here saying the ME users are reported as 98 users by Google may be right, but the 98 users connecting my home server vastly outweigh the ME users, and only in the middle of last year dropped under the XP users.
Odd number minor revisions are development versions that are not to be used in any system other than that to test out new kernel features. 2.3 became 2.4 when it was felt it was stable enough.
The fact is that you still have backports of security isssues even to 2.0. The way debian does it is that important patches are ported back to each variant of a kernel version. This gives you kernel versions like 2.2.19-24, where 2.2.19 is the linux release, and it's the 24th Debian backport of some patch. This enables you to get important security patches without risking your applications with a kernel upgrade.
As I stated, I've seen these backports go back to 2.0. I have never seen an equivelent system in the commercial software world. As a software engineer, I find it highly impressive.
Of course, he also said "VP Gore was the first or surely among the first of the members of Congress to become a strong supporter of advanced networking while he served as Senator."
He is a supporter of Gore's statement that "during [his] service in the United States Congress, [he] took the initiative in creating the Internet."
is anyody going to actually pick up the software and start making their own Cobalt clones
It doesn't matter. If nobody does, then Sun was justified in killing it off. If people do, then Sun should be congradulated on doing the right thing.
This makes me feel a lot better about using Sun technologies. I know they have a tight control on Java now in order to make sure it does fly out of control as some people beleive happened to C++. This makes me feel that if Java does become legacy and unsupported, that the systems I'm building now with have another avenue of support.
It was so much that you omitted falsly, but that you humoursly stated that the theater was burning. If Im in a burning theater and someone doesn't yell "Fire", I might be a little put out.
This reminds me of a show on Israel and the Palistinian Occupied Territories, wher they had an Israeli woman who was talking about how she was afraid of going to the discoteque because of the terrorism, and then a Palistinian woman who was afraid of going into her kitchen because a tank shell had landed in it a month ago.

Sometimes, I begin to think "this site isn't news for nerds." Then an article like this is posted.

I've seen this happen many times. Not sure why it occurs tho.
Isn't that kind of like the charisma of Al Gore?
No, it's much worse. Al Gore was at least able to get more that half the voting populace to vote for him (even if the electoral division made this moot).
When SecurityFocus was asked about the implications of this finding, they would only comment "Dude, we're getting some Dells!"
Not really a dupe (not the exact same article), but this should be in slashback or something. We are both very sad for remembering it.

You do understand that what you said makes no sense.
Of course, one would have to know what the halting problem and regular languages are (and how they have nothing to do with each other) to know this.

It's no problem to kill you.

What a bunch of liberal crap. I suppose you think we should invade Saudi Arabia too.
Funny, I thought they implemented it.

Discoteque. Kitchen.
I second that it doesn't matter, but only because +/- drives are so cheap

oh nevermind.
I gave away all my software for free and people just TOOK IT!
Sometimes OSS people make me want to slap someone.
This is not a troll or flaimbait: just my frustrated opinion.
