Otellini is not an engineer.

Yay another Plato person!! Although I was never an /s I was just a user and programmer (worked on physics lessons). For me it was TOPS-10 -> VMS --> DOS--> Windows -> (Linux, BSD, SunOS/Solaris) G

Oooh! I had a couple of 3B1s/Unix PCs until 2006, the evil ex-gf made me get rid of them when we moved :-(. They were cute little machines! My very first UUCP feed was on one.

Libraries are not just entertainment, they are pretty much the only free means of adult education that's available anymore. They are really, really important for our society.

Mod this up!! Very true. When I've been a manager I've tried to work like this also. Know your people. Know their strengths and weaknesses. Play to their strengths, help them to work on their weaknesses.

that's what these are for: http://www.clickykeyboards.com/index.cfm/fa/categories.main/parentcat/11298 (top left).

Yes, a "real" landline phone doesn't need to be plugged in, it gets its power from the landline and that is battery-backed which is why your landline phone works when the power is out.

I guess I will have to find a DOS version of Lynx for my (original) IBM AT.

It's kinda sad that so few people know how to use anything that's not x86 anymore. I've got several Suns (Ultra 5 and 10, IPX, Sparcstation 20), a DECstation, 2 VAXstations, and a MicroVAX 3800. And a couple of HP ZX2000s... then rackmounted I've got another Sun, another HP Itanium box and a number of x86 architecture boxen.

I assume you meant "300 GB" not "300 MB"...

Frickin' LASERS!

The only part of Arizona that observes DST is the Navajo Nation and that's a long way from the most populated areas of the state -- i.e. unless you live there you aren't likely to GO there (unless you are driving to NM in which case you're going to go on DST anyway).

DING DING DING! Yep!

From what I can tell the Itanium port is pretty immature. I actually have 3 Itania but haven't had a chance to work on bringing NetBSD up on real hardware. OpenBSD forked from NetBSD.

I run NetBSD on sparc, sparc64, VAX, pmax, i386 and amd64.
