Bought one with a dead HD. I think it was a ST-251 that I replaced it with. Once Sys-V was installed, the adventure began. Found /bin before the books I ordered arrived. At that time, mkfs with no args, would immediately create a file system on the current device. Oops.

That machine is at the top of my must resurrect list.

Apply a little heat to your coins, and presto, they're jewelry and exempt. After the dollar devaluation, your savings would have been intact, while everyone else's savings lost significant purchasing power.

In 1910, 20 troy oz. would buy a new car. Still does, today. Had you obeyed the 1934 dictate, the paper receipts ($20 bills) you received in exchange wouldn't buy much more than the front bumper today.

The U.S. is going after Germany's top automaker. It's not about the emissions, what does the U.S. really want?

My bet is that Greece needs a bit more bail-out money because Goldman-Sachs would have a bad quarter if Greece exited the E.U. Let me hedge my bet, now. The Bundesbank wants to repatriate gold held by J.P. Morgan and they're a little short on the stuff these days. Can't let them default, can we?
