I just went searching, but I cannot find anything later than Greek. But even the Greek Era looks obviously like a Hebrew loan word. There are lots of uncredited Hebrew loan words in Greek, and most of the Greek letters as well.
In Hebrew the vowels (such as "A" and "E" for Artz and Earth) are the same. And the Greeks loved to change just the ending of words to Hellinize them.
Seriously, I always try to buy from the runner up or underdog in any industry: cars, microprocessors, anything. Competition is good, and more often than not, the underdog has better price/performance/quality than the market leader. Such is the case with AMD, which I really love.
He should have called it "Earth" then. In Harry Harrison's Stainless Steel Rat books people of the distant future wonder why the ancestral home of mankind was called "dirt".
"Earth" comes from the Hebrew "Artz" which means Earth, ground, and dirt.
I can't remember the exact wording because my brain parsed it as "TOMORROW YOU WILL DIE IN FLAMES"
Just to reassure you, you are far more likely to die from the impact, or failing that smoke inhalation, or failing that drowning. The passenger compartment is rather well insulated from flame.
What exactly from the Apollo stack was so environmentally damaging that it is now illegal? The worst chemicals I can think of were the hypergols in the lunar lander, but hypergolic propellants are still used on many satellites to this day.
I hope they have this thing on a serious UPS. Imagine the thing upright losing power, and all that mercury spilling onto the ground. (assuming that they get to the point that they can use real mercury)
If they do, they'll tell you. If they don't, then they need to hear it from us that we want to be able to buy systems without the MS tax. If we don't ask, they will never know that's what we want.
When I worked QA in a dairy, we put cow's milk in the cartons. What we did not do was arbitrarily switch to putting soy milk in the cartons, and then require customers to call the grocery store and beg to get cow's milk (which would only be allowed if you were a restaurant).
Cows?!? Not girls with big titties?!? I want my old milk back!!!!1!!!!!one!!11one1!11!![lim(x->0)sinx/x]

About 6 months after the kitchen sink.
I'll use Emacs as soon as it gets a decent text editor.
There's no reason to go back there when we can...
There, fixed that for you.

They can pry my DS from my cold, dead hands!

I never realised the NY Attorney General had such power over British phone operators.

That wasn't a regex, that was VI.

High availability - it's much, much, MUCH harder than you thought.
I would like nothing more that to be able to breed my way out of hardware failures.
"What? Another NIC failed? Honey, spread 'em!"
And don't forget the RFID tags in the tires.
TFS says they're not using mercury in the tilting kind since it's too dense to work with effectively.
That's why I added this part:

Amazing how they can make giant glowing polygons float in the sky for the planes to fly through.
What's really amazing is your Interesting mod as opposed to Funny. You just sent more people to RTFA than the milf comment last month did.
"Flying glowing polygons!?! Not that's something I just HAVE to see!!!"
Brave man? That comment was posted by "snowgirl".
On teh intertubes the women are men, and the girls are FBI agents.
Rednecks racing rocket's 'round a ringed raceway! Radically refreshing!
The crashes are going to kick ass!
You're new here, aren't you?
Yes, Americans pay for both making and receiving calls and texts. We've discussed this here ad nauseum...
No, that's this guy. I have seen mention before, but somehow it didn't quite sink in as deep as it should have.
Why not make the whole space craft out of Duct Tape?
Then what would they fix it with?
Spoiler: DoD's is a crap load more then 0.6%
Hey, at least they get a lot done with theirs right... right?
For certain values of 'done'.

I really don't know, but I can ask.
If you include Federal, state, and local government spending NASA is more like 0.3% of all government outlays, or 0.1% of total US GDP.
Are you American? If so, write to your representatives and let them know that you prioritize NASA.

Slashdot needs a "important software updates" section.
In addition, or as a replacement for, the "stuff that matters" section?
Anyone know if I talk to Lenovo I can get them to sell me the laptop without Windows?

I was wondering how far down I'd have to read to find an utterly-devoid-of-context Linux comment!
On /.? You must be new here.
Oh go on then.
Nice. I see I've made my contribution to society for the day. Hope you get laid.
