I don't work for free. I never will - I rather become an electrician than consider becoming a linux developer. My 2c worth! I worked very hard for this career - you don't like it, then sell your computer and watch TV.
Who says Linux devs work for free? Do you know what we pay for LabView on Linux? Or what I am willing to pay for Photoshop?
How many people buy the XP models and subsequently install Ubuntu or some other Linux distro though? For reasons of better RAM or Drive or battery option availability in the XP bundled version of the machine.
Or for that matter, how many buy the Linux version and then return it? Wasn't it something like 4:1 in an earlier story?
... did they overship Linux pcs by a ratio of 6:4?
Really, the 7:3 ratio seems a bit too accurate. Maybe they are recalculating based on the earlier story that one in four Linux machines are being returned?
No, he put the hard drive in a big aluminium case, with those gel cooling bags surrounding the drive. Sorry, I just spoiled the whole thing. That's pretty much all it says.

You are correct, the new orbit would be eliptical in an arbitrary system. However, due to the Earth's atmosphere, there is the most drag at the lowest point of an orbit in LEO, and object tend to round out their orbits near the low point. Then they fall to Earth when most of their orbit is within the atmosphere.
Actually, throwing it backwards would be the worst. We're talking about orbits here, so it will do a loop around the planet and smack you in the face.
You would want to push something off to a different altitude, so that your orbits do not cross at all. In this particular case, they would have pushed it down toward Earth.
What? No. By pushing it backwards you are slowing it down. It will then assume a lower orbit. Orbital height == orbital velocity.
I don't really care if I can copy my BluRay disks or not (I'm too lazy to back up my movies - if I break a disk and I like the film, I get a new one).
But I would love to be able to play my legally bought films under Linux without having to reboot (or having to go to jail for that matter). Maybe one day.:)
Tell that to Sony then stop buying the discs until you can.

You do remember that we are talking blueray discs here? What user content could possibly be on them that is not available in a cheaper, already broken format? Brand-spanin' new movies?!? If those movies were worth watching, people would be paying for them. People are not paying because all the new movies are garbage. A single, random good movie (Dark Knight) will not be enough to get people to move to this quagmire of technology.
Perhaps because Ubuntu 8.10 was just recently released?
And it makes a great attention grabbing headline. Not the type of headline for you or me, but for Joe Desktop. I hope that a lot of frustrated Vista users hear about this.
The rovers are like cockroaches, nothing will kill them. They're closer to 20x.
Phoenix is at the end of its expected life of three to four months, which differs from it's planned primary mission lifespan of only 90 days. Note that not all the ovens have been used during the primary mission, as the craft was expected to last longer.
The rovers also had only 90 day primary missions. They are now 5 years past that, just about x20 that you mention.
Music Television Music. Kind of like the Rio Grande River, eh?
I don't want to be redundant sounding redundant, but it is well known that the "Rio Grande River" phrase is a classic of the Department of Redundancy Department.
Thanks, Blice. As the site is geared towards Ubuntu 7.10 I will ask on the Ubuntu mailing list about specific tweaks in 8.04. Also, I see that the info is available as a Zim notebook. That's great, I love Zim. Thanks!
Do you have any idea how long people scoured the Earth before finding and identifying the first fossils there? Finding them here on Mars is not going to be easy, especially using robotic rovers controlled from millions of kilometers away, a method that has yet to find a single fossil on Earth where they are known to exist and humans know what they look like.

That was MSI. Asus actually reported that there didn't seem to be any significant difference, IIRC.
Without having read the thread, I thought that it referred to netbooks in general. Thanks.

Chicken and leg. That was easy.

Every 316 Milliseconds? Do you know what else has that timing?
PEW-PEW-PEW, the sound of mah lazers!
Sharks are silent predators.
3 busses will come within 316.86 milliseconds of each other,
then you'll wait 10,000 years for the next one.
You obviously do not smoke. A surefire way to make that next bus come is to light one up.
No natural object is spinning that fast.
You are obviously not aware about the United States forefathers in their graves, knowing what is going on in that nation.

You are not accounting for the atmosphere's effect on objects in LEO. Please see my response to sister post.

good one, pirate justification...
I don't pirate for the same reason that I don't buy: the movies suck. The fact that you assume "not buying" means "pirating" shows who the pirate is.

I just saw this line in the article about a three year old Trojan and I thought, man wouldn't that thing get kinda full at some point?
You are not the average /.er. The average /.er hears a woman mention Trojans and instinctively tells her that he can fix it.

Its 2.5 times past its expected life.

If I'm going to be hungry later, and my apple supply isn't going to be refreshed until further down the road, you bet your ass I'd refuse to share.
I knew it was only a matter of time before the Apple fanbois got a hold of this thread.

I wonder how long until they subvert the channel to only broadcast crappy reality shows.
It's even worse already. All they are broadcasting at the moment is:

Yes, I've been going through it. And what a noob- I posted asking about updating the document for Ubuntu 8.04 and two minutes later I found it!

Find me a fossil and then we'll talk.
