Have you managed to upgrade the OS on that phone? Of does it have exactly the same features now that it had back then?

They didn't want to piss off the Vulcans
I wouldn't mind getting an insurance break either. I'd do all the speed limits to save money.
Take it from an old fart who was there - any Unix of the last 15-20 years is definitely not your father's Unix.
It's not ANY UNIX - It's Linux.
But you can recover from those by voting the other way, in theory. Voting to go to a non-voting system is the last vote ever.
Except that when you vote away your right to vote, if you change your mind, your screwed.
...always a geek. Since this article was on
Drive.Open();
@Platters = Drive.Remove()
Pieces = map {crack in two} map {apply orbital sander} @Platters;
ForEach( Piece, Pieces)
{
If( Today + 1 == garbageDay() )
{
push @garbage, pop @pieces
}
sleep 1 day
}
I leave garbage collection as a separate function...
In theory, we'll be so pissed off that we can't fish that we'll do something about global warming that will save them.
so we wait until they drown and then fish?
Unless closed-source schmucks start mucking with it. Helloooooo. QA? Testing? ANYONE?
Hmm. How about a GPS that leads you to turn onto a railroad track in the dark, followed by the LIGHT at said crossing turning red due to an ONCOMMING TRAIN shutting down your engine...
that this is a joke. In 1987, I graduated Cooper Union, I worked at Citibank in Funds Transfer and I was programming in QUEL on a Commercial Ingres system. Having learned both relational algebra and calculus in school, I was pleased to be able to use the more expressive calculus. Alas, it was not meant to be. Citi started cutting over to Oracle. In then left. A few years (and jobs) later I started working with Sybase. In SQL. It took me weeks to understand how to use the algebra again. We'd go a long way if this post were NOT a joke.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE SATURN V PLANS
Despite a widespread belief to the contrary, the Saturn V blueprints have not been lost. They are kept at Marshall Space Flight Center on microfilm. The Federal Archives in East Point, GA also has 2900 cubic feet of Saturn documents. Rocketdyne has in its archives dozens of volumes from its Knowledge Retention Program. This effort was initiated in the late '60s to document every facet of F-1 and J-2 engine production to assist in any future re-start.
The problem in re-creating the Saturn V is not finding the drawings, it is finding vendors who can supply mid-1960's vintage hardware (like guidance system components), and the fact that the launch pads and VAB have been converted to Space Shuttle use, so you have no place to launch from.
By the time you redesign to accommodate available hardware and re-modify the launch pads, you may as well have started from scratch with a clean sheet design.
If I were in anyway related to the financial industry, I wouldn't exactly be calling out anyone else for "botching" anything at this time...
