Apollo 13 was a real spaceship?
No, the Apollo space capsule was built by North American Aviation.... The LEM was built by Grumman, and it WAS a real spaceship. http://myweb.accessus.net/~090/as13tow.html

Re:Jacking in from the "Big Fucking Deal" port
News for Nerds dude.
I'm interested in this not for the fact it runs Linux, but because it runs Linux there is a much better chance I might be able to hack the control to do things like this:

Slightly off topic - never did "have a problem"The phrase "Houston we have a problem" was never actually spoken except in the movie. What was actually said was:
55:55:20 (9:07 PM CT) - Swigert: "Okay, Houston, we've had a problem here."
Which is slightly different. You can read the transcript here.

Re:This could be really usefulI hate WFP. I agree completely
OBExcuse: I have to manage a M$ network at work
With Win2K, WFP can, effectively, be nilled. An undocumented registry value cuts it out; when this became public, M$ quickly eliminated it (with W2K SP2). Rather than quote it all here, you can find out how to hack the SFC.dll that is causing your pain here.
Now what I really want, in my sick and twisted world, is to find out how to hack WFP to work for me- protecting the files I want to protect, while trashing m$ files like netmeeting....

Re:Internet and Appliance Integration
The same integration could be pursued with electricity usage, TV, cat litter boxes, aquariums and closets so we may more efficiently and better go about our lives
Uh... We've got litter boxes covered:

Take the time to set it up.Now I realize that to some people spending $1500 on the wiring for a stereo is a small budget, but it's a significant expenditure to most of us. Whatever you do get, it can be made better by a proper setup.
After everything has gotten a chance to break in, do some real setup work. Here's an FAQ on setting up the video yourself and some pointers to getting a ISF Certified pro to bring his $7000 machine and do it for you. I used the Video Essentials DVD that came with my DVD player to do it myself and it makes a significant difference.
Here's another FAQ on doing the audio.
I felt they left out a couple of things though:
- The analog SPL meter from Radio Shack is both more accurate and cheaper than the digital one.
- Some receivers make you enter a delay value for the center and rears. The formula is pretty simple once you find it, like from this FAQ from Dolby. They have a lot of meaty info on their site.
- I don't think that audio setup guide mentioned the trick to sub setup: put the sub where your sweet spot will be and crawl across the room with the SPL meter. Wherever it registers the highest readings should make for a good sub placement. You should generally avoid corners though.
- For the period you have to return the items you purchase, listen critically. Continue listening to other setups. Once this time is over, stop being so critical. There will always be something else out there just a little better, and it may even have a cheaper price tag on it. It's much better to enjoy what you have (even if it's a Bose) that to continuously beat yourself up and say "I should have gotten that".
Disclaimer: I am not an audio professional or an audiophile (in the elitist sense of the word). I am even using wiring I found for a nickel a foot! I am happy with my Paradigm Mini-Monitor based setup. - The analog SPL meter from Radio Shack is both more accurate and cheaper than the digital one.
