NASA seizes new Opportunity after losing its Spirit on Mars

And I thought 9/11 was funny, and wasn't even drunk at the time. The
consequences were also very funny, how the American Fire and Steel reacted.
:) :) But the joke is getting a bit old now.. they don't even bother
reporting the daily death routines in Iraq anymore.

I'll thank him for PL/M though ! Looks like he didn't mind dealing with Intel
'suits' ?

Wow, you kids don't remember much. (I rather liked PL/M, for
what it was anyway).

Intel was 16% owned by IBM and that was enough for a controlling interest.

Now I understand why people disparage you so much. You simply
haven't a clue.

M$ is a seperate issue from Billy's holdings.


Billy doesn't gat a piece of my PC price, just the operating system.

And what is your PC without Big Bill's OS? Well, probably not much
more than it is with it...

I don't mind buying M$ products, or letting Billy get richer.

Have you understood why Billy is so successful? In the Silicon Valley the
companys just steal their employees' product, but Billy lets them be
millionaires. The Silicon Valley does not want software to be regulated as
engineering for that reason.

Exit Steve Wozniak, enter John Tarver. Difference? Woz didn't
suffer any brain damage in his plane crash... M$ is a very honest
company, it explains the Anti-Trust suits, really. I'll admit I use a
lot of M$ products and have several kewl pieces of paper from them
certifying me to work with their software. However, I'm under no
delusions that they are upright and honest.
I am still a Wordperfect user.

And after all these years, you still don't know it has a

dictionary.

Islamic, Christian, or Jewish? They're all pretty much equal!

I still use PL/M 51 for simple embedded control stuff.

So simple to use.

Ofcourse you do, I'm responsible for equipping thuggish regimes with WMD and
then wondering what went wrong when we try to take advantage of the
situation by claiming the enemy has WMD (which we have positive proof,
because we gave the WMD to them in the first place) only to be baffled what
went wrong when the bearded fool actually DID comply with UN resolutions and
did get rid of the material, or atleast my inability to track where the
stuff went. I was so 100% absolutely positive that I had proof the
homosexual had the material, hey, I did sell it to him ffs..!

Meanwhile, our sons and daughers are getting killed day by day and the media
and public getting so tired of the fact that it ceases to be news. The next
thing we do is to propose to place the bearded mega-terrorist to desolate
island in pacific until the elections have passed.

You got me, I'm responsible for this farce that is taking place. My family
should definitely by killed by terrorists. Afterall, having an opinion is
reason enough to get punished- I mean, freedom of speech is meant only for
people who worship us. Teeth for teeth, eye for an eye.. no wait, let's make
amandment for this.. family member for making fun of 9/11 'tragedy', yeah,
sounds about right - that's the very essense of what we believe in and is
the foundation of our Constitution. God Bless the United States of the
America!

*peace*

I actually attended an Intel course on PLM, some 20 years ago.
Great trip, and came back with 1000bf of green cedar, but that's
another swizzle under the dam.

I never really used PLM, other than a curiosity on the Intel MDS
systems. My 8051 work was all ASM-51, since I found it much
easier to deal with application specific macros (easy to write)
than PLM. 'C' on the 8051 was just to painful to contemplate.

He has fallen under the influence of one Michael Petukhov :)
Or perhaps better to say they both have succumbed to the same

Intel, at the time, wasn't really a "suit" company - they were a lot
more maverick than the overtly conservative IBM. After all, it was
former Intel exec Mike Markkula that helped fund Apple's start.
