Just because IBM made the same mistake decades ago why think that Microsoft wouldn't fall into the same trap? IBM's mainframe division was so afraid of the first IBM PC that they saw to it that IBM's second PC was the laughable toy, the PC Jr. That left the field open for Compaq to design and release the first 386 boxes and IBM lost control of the market. Had IBM added PC local smarts to the 3750 line of remote terminals things might look very different today.

Were they French tweets - originating in France? If not, there's not much of a case. If they were it will be interesting to see whether local laws cover the customers.

(DEC) VAX -> WNT (Windows NT). Dave Cutler was primary architect of both. BTW DEC was a multi-billion $ mini-computer co in the 70s and 80s.

Radio would have kept TV off the air. Movies would have kept TV off the air. No cable... Forget satellite. Toss that ebook reader.

I figure that Windows 6 was the original Longhorn that never shipped. That makes Windows 7 Windows 7.

Why do you think that the Republicans are so obsessed with regulating the sex and reproductive lives of the American people? It's because they are sexually repressed at home and out of control out of town. Personal freedom is one thing that they will never "deregulate".

Let's start by making it standard practice to check the phone record of any driver WHO IS ALONE IN HIS/HER CAR at the time of an accident that results in personal injury or damage above a specific threshold. If a driver is involved in an accident at 5:35PM and found to have been on the phone at 5:35PM and could not produce a hands-free device at the scene of the accident we have a winner. Likewise if the driver was found to be texting at the time of the accident lets see them defend themselves in court.

Granted, a texting driver or driver on the phone with a passenger is going to say that the passenger was using the phone, but in the case of a driver with no passengers we have to technology to place the blame appropriately.

Yeah. Why can't everyone be above average? /sarcasm

The Road

My understanding is that it's much more expensive than the high-end FIOS. It would seem that Comcast doesn't want to sell it, just be able to say that they have the fastest connection speeds.

Apple's look and feel suits are the ultimate insult. First they sue Microsoft for copying the very same things that Apple had lifted from Xerox PARC. Now they've taken possession of the rectangle. Imagine the same thing happening in the automotive industry. Hyundai can't sell cars because Mercedes thinks that their grills look like theirs. Someone else can't sell their cars because their headlights look like another's. No one can sell anything because their "C" pillars look like BMW's. Enough is enough.

the presence of other oxidizing agents? the possibility of explosion due to above? There are lots of compressed gasses on a sub.

But then we wouldn't have an excuse to spend bazillions of dollars. There always has to be a bogyman.

I'd pay $8. But then I'd be seeing it in a tiny theater months after release. By the time it gets into the theaters expect to pay $20 a ticket. And of course it will be in 3D. And pseudo-IMAX.

Precisely why library software (generally) deletes closed transactions automatically. You may want to verify this with your local librarian (be prepared to follow up with the software vendor). Remember that libraries require a warrant. A request by a walk-in police officer (or husband or wife) is turned away. Libraries make every effort (short of keeping no records) to protect the privacy of patrons.
