How ironic. That's what the Usenet is and was long before WWW came alone.

And why to this day I write the file name "HOSTS" in caps as it didn't understand it unless it was, until version 3.

UPDATE: NASA issued a statement at about 19:30 PT / 22:30 ET July 5 / 02:30 UT July 6 saying that the cause of the safe mode is understood, and that New Horizons will resume science operations on July 7:

NASA’s New Horizons mission is returning to normal science operations after a July 4 anomaly and remains on track for its July 14 flyby of Pluto.

The investigation into the anomaly that caused New Horizons to enter “safe mode” on July 4 has concluded that no hardware or software fault occurred on the spacecraft. The underlying cause of the incident was a hard-to-detect timing flaw in the spacecraft command sequence that occurred during an operation to prepare for the close flyby. No similar operations are planned for the remainder of the Pluto encounter.

“I’m pleased that our mission team quickly identified the problem and assured the health of the spacecraft,” said Jim Green, NASA’s Director of Planetary Science. “Now – with Pluto in our sights – we’re on the verge of returning to normal operations and going for the gold.”

True multitasking, frankenos as it's pry not possible to gather all of the patents and OS to ever run it again.

It's a hail mary attempt, it switched for some reason and they will be putting in back into that mode and no out. subject: "Can I just say On Behalf Of Humanity", seems the most relevant word at this time.

Infantry uses rifles, can't see this helping anybody but the ones behind the line.

No I wasn't aware.

Reminds me then of the L. Ron Hubbard's series "Mission Earth" it's a 10 volume set. It's said he died while writing it, someone taking over the story. I can tell you where it happened - volume 3 it went stupid after that one, just ridiculous. I have the 10 volume hard back set (hopeful collectors item) but just collected the last 6 (unread).

Cyber squatting, did I ever miss an opportunity...

I had a three month contract to install fiber optics and set up a new network, the person in charge of me was in charge of all of the computers, the main computer that accessed outside (a gateway if you will) was a Linux, he had no clue how to work on on it, and would touch it on a bet.

I didn't see a problem with that :)

I went for a swim with MyTouch cell phone in my back pocket. You could use it as a level by the water inside the glass.

I immediately went out and purchased a new phone being so important I couldn't miss one that may come my way.

Wrapping the insides of the MyTouch in toilet paper, and shoving it into the middle of a pan of dry rice for a few days fixed it right up.

Not sure if it counts as it was an Amiga 3000 and they came to my house to fix it for free.

I had a "friend" who brought over a new hard drive to get working on the Amiga I did my best then the system just quit, He then says yep, did the same thing to mine.

I forget the last Dune book I read as there were so many books in the series. They became well garbage and I thought he was milking it for all it's worth.

In this case everybody has the information: "As reported Telam a specialist who preferred anonymity, which leaked on the web are "SSL certificates terminals that send data from the schools to the datacenter," which were published "on the site http: / /caba.operaciones.com.ar by poor settings on your servers.
