Hibernating to Mars
neutron_p writes "Manned missions beyond the Moon are no longer wild dreams. NASA plans a manned mission to Mars before 2020. With automatic systems in control, astronauts would face the challenge of living in a confined space with not much to do for an extremely long period. 'Might as well sleep it off!' Studies initiated by ESA have gone one step further. Wouldn't it be nice if astronauts could hibernate! ESA biologists are conducting investigations into the physiological mechanisms that mammals use to hibernate."
Tonight, The Geeks and Nerds Association of America (GNAA) interviews an ex-Linux zealot (ELZ). He, after over two years of Linux zealotry finaly eXPerianced the light and installed Windows XP on his computer. Each night we will bring you a new question and answer.
GNAA: Why did you to decide to install Windows XP?
ELZ : Because Linux suxorz coxorz.
GNAA: Thank you. We will be bringing you a new question and answer each night! Stay tuned!

GNAA / Google confirms: Linux is dying.
By GNAA Staff
Here you have it: it's official; Google confirms: Desktop Linux is dying.
Now, you might be thinking this is just another cut & paste troll based on the typical *BSD is dying bullshit.
It isn't.
As you might have know, your favorite search engine, Google, has been running a little statistics service, called "Zeitgeist".
Since about a year ago, they started providing statistics of the operating systems used to access their search engine worldwide.
I will let the numbers speak for themselves:
Operating Systems Accessing Google in January 2002
Operating Systems Accessing Google in March 2002
Operating Systems Accessing Google in April 2002
Operating Systems Accessing Google in May 2002
Operating Systems Accessing Google in June 2002
Operating Systems Accessing Google in July 2002
Operating Systems Accessing Google in August 2002
Operating Systems Accessing Google in September 2002
Operating Systems Accessing Google in November 2002
Operating Systems Accessing Google in December 2002
Operating Systems Accessing Google in January 2003
Operating Systems Accessing Google in February 2003

If you've looked at even a few of these links, you don't need to be a Kreskin to predict Desktop Linux's future. The hand writing is on the wall: Desktop Linux faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for Linux on Desktop because Linux is dying. Things are looking very bad for Linux on Desktop. As many of us are already aware, Linux on Desktop continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood.
According to Google Zeitgeist, there are about 80% of Internet Explorer 6 users. The only platform supporting Internet Explorer 6 is, of course, Microsoft Windows. These statistics are consistent with the earlier presented graphs of the operating systems used to access Google, with the Windows family consistently taking the top 3 ranks. Out of remaining 20%, the split is even between MSIE 5.5, MSIE 5.0, both Windows-only browsers. Netscape 5.x
I'd rather see investment towards the Asteroid Belt and Lagrange point colonization

Macintosh zealot
/. was trying to prove that PC doesn't exclude Macs, and that the term was hijacked by the x86 people, but I can't find that thread right now.
I'm usually very afraid of Mac/Apple zealots, but I thought I was safe on this one. In this case it's just a Personal Computer, as opposed to Navigation Computer or Life Support Computer. Saying PC or Mac would make me sound like a stupid PC supporter (the last PC = "politically correct"). Also, somebody on
I agree with you on that. Nevertheless, you can always expect somebody waiting to jump on this knowing that some will assume that PC = x86.
At least the term "IBM Compatible" is long gone as a byproduct of this.
It would be cool if it didn't suck.

It can't be any slower than dialup from some infamous ISPs. Aside from not being able to play online games, the biggest problem that springs to mind is finding an IRC server that'll accept 1800 second pings
Y'know, you blow up one sun and suddenly everyone expects you to walk on water.
