What ever happened to Tandem and NonStop OS 2043

No, I don't. I understand very well how the exposure kiddies got to DEC computing in the 60s and 70s lead to this PC generation. The first task was to eliminate the fear of using computing gear and this includes exposure to language concepts that weren't spoken and were reduced to binary. (Hex is a form of binary.) The second step was to give kiddies (and scientists were grownup kiddies) the taste and feel of having a computer system all to themselves and learn how much computing wallclock work they could hand off to the system while they did real thinking work.

There is no way this could have been done with card-based systems. Since IBM was losing sales to DEC for precisely the above lacks, IBM got real busy with computing and eliminating sneaker aspects of computing.

Oh? What time was that?

Then you had better wake up because you are talking like one.

You consider insurance, that I bought, welfare?

I have at least a dozen relatives who also own farms and land. This is a sin and must be irradicated?

More bullpoo. If you're at minimum wage, you're getting paid hourly. You get paid for all hours you work.

Nice quote. Too bad you had to lie. If Bush had said that, it would have been all over the news.

Enron was created by Congress when they fined-tuned the govenment regulations of the electric power industry. People who invested in Enron at that time were doing it for getting rich quick. This is not capitalism. It is an example of what happens when socialism dictated by Congress enters the business world. When you have energy brokers cheering a broad destruction of forests in the West because it will cause the price of energy futures to rise, the company is no longer in production but a get-rich-quick scheme.

why are they forced to move? Examine that and you'll trace it back to Liberals changing benefits (which were used to attract people) into rights. And Liberals insisting that all employees be paid whether they do the work or not. And Unions who insist that their minimum wage be so high that net profits are impossible. Oh, yes, and building manufacturing facilities won't cost money and time dealing with law suits whose sole purpose is to delay that production.

Nope. Only the ones getting voted in are doing that. Since the people who are mewling about the rich are the ones who vote those suckers in, it is ultimately their responsibility and their mess to clean up.

BAH
