That's not an unmitigated good however, especially if you want to make edits but not commit them until you're done. Unix gets it mostly right in that I can send a NOHUP to tell the other process to reload. What would be nice is if there's a deamon running that would allow the admin to register processes and config files and that would watch the config files and auto-nohup if the admin so desires. Then again, that's probably already been built. Doesn't seem to difficult to write, but I haven't seriously looked into it.

You have that exactly backwards. Non-Coms are people like sergeants and corporals. Commissioned offers are 1st lieutenant and above. I.E. it applies to the people that aren't peons.

Obsolete is what you want, I think. Obsolete doesn't imply it doesn't work, or can't function or even is bad, it just means it's been surpassed by something newer. E.G. Steam locomotives became obsolete when diesel and electric locomotives were invented.

And now I realize I clearly misunderstood whay you were saying. Mea culpa. If only I had used the preview button in a more intelligent manner.

The contradiction in your mind is resolved readily if you recall that that consitution doesn't "grant" any rights to the people at all, as the people are innate posessors of all rights. The constitution is structured to place limits on the government, not the people. In fact, a major argument at the time against the "Bill of Rights" was that people would intepret it as an exhaustive list.

The important things to remember, are
1) No matter how big your plane is, it's tiny in comparison to the air;
2) There is a mind-blowingly huge amount of energy in the atmosphere, especially around thunderstorms and changes in the land. It can be beneficial (see gliders and updrafts) or detrimental (low level wind shear & downdrafts), and you must pay constant attention to it.

The effect can be really pronounced, easily in the double digit percents. If you're curious look up "True Air Speed" and "Density Altitude" and then take a look at the runway lengths of a place like Denver, and San Francisco.

DHCP isn't sent via TCP. It uses UDP broadcast.

Your restriction of 'right' to only apply government actors is too restrictive, and is not the commonly used meaning. A right, as the word is defined, is in essence, something you have a just claim to. E.G. I have a "right" to my property. Similarly, I have a "right" to the components of my body, hence other people acting on my body without my consent is a violation of my rights. Hence, whether or the actor is the government is largely irrelevant.

You are mistaken. Sales taxes are not added because of Article I section 8 of the U.S. Constitution.

They could do speech synth a bit earlier than that. Dedicated hardware was required though: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TI99/4A

I don't understand what the problem is. If they really really need IE6 why can't they use something like IETester to run the IE6's rendering engine on a Windows 7 machine. I run that on my Windows 7 machine to test my websites for that browser and it works just fine.

Huh, learn something new every day. I stand corrected. As far as compiled vs interpreted, I'd have to respectfully disagree, to an extent (in general I consider your points are valid). A critically important part of any shell or Command Language Interface is user binding of names/late-binding/re-binding, which can't be done at compile time.

The L in CLI stands for line:) Command Line Interface. What you're talking about is an interpreter.
