SpaceShipOne Flight Test
Soft writes "Scaled Composites' entry for the X-Prize, the SpaceShipOne, has had a successful first (unpowered) flight test.
The spacecraft was dropped from the White Knight carrier aircraft at 47,000 ft (14 km) and 105 kt (194 km/h, 120 mph) and touched down after a 1.1-hour glide at Mojave airport.
Photos are available."

I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Horror/Sci Fi writer Stephen King was found dead in his Maine home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.
and mozilla insane ugly fonts!!!
damn, you bill !!
Hey, Eugene,
....
This is Henry McClean
And I've finished my beautiful flying machine
And I'm ringing to say
That I'm leaving and maybe
You'd like to fly with me
And hide with me, baby
Isn't it strange
How little we change
Isn't it sad we're insane
Playing the games that we know and in tears
The games we've been playing for thousands and thousands and
Pointing to the cosmic glider
"Pull this plastic glider higher
Light the fuse and stand right back"
He cried "This is my last good-bye."
Point me at the sky and tell it fly
Point me at the sky and tell it fly
Point me at the sky and tell it fly
And if you survive till two thousand and five
I hope you're exceedingly thin
For if you are stout you will have to breathe out
While the people around you breathe in
People pressing on might say
It's something that I hate to say
I'm slipping down to eat the ground
A little refuge on my brain
Point me at the sky and tell it fly
Point me at the sky and tell it fly
Point me at the sky and tell it fly
And all we've got to say to you is good-bye
It's time to go, better run and get your bags, it's good-bye
Nobody cry, it's good-bye
Crash, crash, crash, crash, good-bye...
Stephen King is worse than his movies. He keeps dieing and coming back from the dead. How many times is this guy going to be found dead before he is really dead?
mandrake update cannot find files but they exist in the ftp and on /home/blingbling/Desktop/temp/9.1/ !!!
i install something, bash_completion, but do not understand :-(
it may not compile, cvs verison could not find DB_file_ blah blah
Too bad the UN does not really have any brawn to enforce these limits. What I'd like to see is UN enforcing emission limits with the same zeal with which the US is imposing their standards on other nations' NBC weapon programmes.

Kwin4 does not work (SIGNAL 11)
You are like the guy who thought there actually was a place named "Gunpoint" where people kept getting held up.
"Stephen King" is a name used for an unknown male person. Much like "John Doe" was used in the past.
It was changed because more people where named "John Doe" than "Stephen King", so less people get scared by reading the news story.
The name used for a female, previously Jane Doe, is "Natalie Portman".
That also explains why "Natalie Portman" is often found naked and petrified, since females are more likely to be sexually molested.
Irene KHAAAAAAN!
as reward, you may download "gangrape inspector" from mldonkey, real japanese actress, not south east asian!!
You realize that we could have that certain western states would not stick to the obsolete idea of national sovereignity. The idea of building empires died decades ago. Why can't this idea of nation states defined by some shitty, imaginary borders die already?
I reported this over 2 months ago, and it was rejected.
Just because you can mod me down, doesn't mean you're right. Shoes for industry!
That also explains why "Natalie Portman" is often found naked and petrified, since females are more likely to be sexually molested.
But why do these molestations so often involve hot grits being poured down somebody's pants?
I allways found hot cereals more nourishing when eaten.

You see, I was out with my friends and, well, the evening didn't turn out as fun as I thought it would be. I came back home and feel like contributing to the Slashdot discussions but I thought it would be more appropriate if I asked for a permission first.
