Do you have a real argument, because it seems to me you are the only one babbling. (well maybe the guys who think we're getting 20 light years from here in something equivalent to an apollo rocket as well.)
You'd have to have two space ships basically, one for spare parts. And what happens if one particular part breaks 3 times? or 20? Over the course of years, in a hostile environment like space, you have
to assume that will happen. Nanorobots will fix things by constructing spare parts out of raw materials (atom feed stocks, like large stores of carbon, etc. so the parts need not be stored.)
But you knew this right? I mean you're not lecturing me on nanorobots without having a clue about the mechanics of such things, RIGHT?
make a ship that contained the necessary fuel and so on to get there in one human life span, vital systems in the ship would almost certainly malfunction and the crew would be stranded until they died
or something. People need to realize the only way we're getting off this rock is with nanorobotic manufacturing. Nanorobot constructed ships would be smart, and self-repair, fixing any problem that arises. If congress would dedicate a small fraction of that $25 billion NASA is getting to study rocks in outer space to nanorobotics, we'd get indefinite life-spans, space ships that could travel to the Andromeda galaxy never mind a star 20 light years away, an end to poverty, disease, crime, and so on. I suggest everyone read "Engines of Creation" by Drexler, it's free to read and posted on the web. http://e-drexler.com/d/06/00/EOC/EOC_Table_of_Contents.html
Pray tell, what Conspiracy theory can I not search for in America? In fact, there is no such government censorship on the internet, only against Warez and child porn basically. You really fail at thinking things though if you think Americans have censored internet searches like the Chinese.
He's talking about Kent State, which happened like 40 years ago, and resulted in a hand full of students dying. The chinese on the other hand have been estimated by Human Rights orginizations to have killed 80+ MILLION of their citizens since the communists took over in the '40s. Of course, now we have to do the paleo-political thing where we discuss indians and black slaves, but the perpetrators of those crimes are dead and so are all their grand children, versus the communist murdering pigs still living the good life in China today.
Yea it's ironic how Apple talks so much about Windows malware, I wonder how much of it got in through Apple software that is poorly coded and/or doesn't opt-in to Windows security technologies.
saying that MPEG LA will change it's mind, but my understanding from someone knowledgeable about this subject on arstechnica is that it would be illegal for them to do so, so this is the real deal it seems.
I think this will be a very good thing for everyone and the web in general.
How so? A flaw in flash, for instance is going to leave you open to a drive-by on any OS with any browser. Simple fact. If you mean across the network attacks on services/daemons listening to ports, then the answer is no Windows is not susceptible to those kinds of attacks either, not since XP SP2 enabled the firewall by default. Unfortunately it's possible you are talking about something altogether different, that's the problem with the windows bashers, they are never specific, they just throw out ambigious damning unfounded generalizations over and over again...
Here is your complimentary guide to trolling this story:
1. Pretend only windows can get infected with trojans.
2. If you can't do 1. adequately, then pretend Windows is some how easier to infect with trojans than other OSes.
3. Accuse anyone who disagrees with you of being paid off.
4. Make thoughtless absolutists statements like Windows has no security model, and is not a networking OS.
5. Mention chair throwing as proof that MS personnel are unstable, but never mention wife murdering linux developers.
6. Repeat other MS bashers without researching what they're saying.
7. Mention "640k ought to be enough for anyone" as much as possible without giving thought to the brain dead simple idea that MS had nothing to do with the addressable memory limit of the 8086.
Following this guide is sure to get you modded up and liked by many other slashdotters, so be sure to follow it closely!
What's wrong is that MS made them, whether the demos are legit or not is irrelevant, see. We must attack MS at every opportunity, whether it's deserved and rational, or not.
How am I going to think about a vaccine to cure breast cancer, or nanorobotics, without looking it up? I mean I might get some vague idea about such things, but the specific details I could never imagine. I just don't buy that a significant number of people look up things without thinking about them, it makes more sense that they look up things because they want to think deeper about a particular thing. I can't force you to believe me, which is what you seem to want, but I'm sure I'm right for the typical person that researches on the internet.
The idea of the internet making you stupid is the stupidest idea ever. I now have the worlds information at my finger tips, I get updates in near real time. For instance new cures and new science that is published, I now read within hours, instead of months or years later in some book. Granted, if you're a stupid person the internet can be used for stupid things just like anything. Couch potatoes glued to the boob-tube in the old days are equivalent to today's myspace and facebook junkies. But still the internet has a huge potential to educate motivated individuals, in ways that were not easy or possible before.
Very powerful and clean language, it's installed by default on Windows 7, but you'll have to download for older Windows versions.
Or if downloading/installing isn't an option for older OSes, there's vbscript...
Cuz no bank has ever been compromised? Or were you saying something else? Also, what army systems? Chow hall management, or battlefield intelligence or what? Makes a bit of a difference. And additionally, we have to second guess the competence of IT and whatever management had them on a leash, maybe Army IT guys aren't the best, why assume they are?
Well I guess, I read tech news every day and missed that, so sue me. Doesn't address my point though, financial systems that run linux are nothing like windows home machines/users, so saying the linux financial systems aren't regularly hacked is proof of something is daft.
Sure, but those financial systems are monitored, hardened, and configured by professionals. Windows home machines are, decidedly not. Windows Servers are also rarely broken into. Don't you think someone would love to serve malware from, or deface microsoft.com? It hasn't been, and guess what, it's not running linux or any unix.
NX is enabled by default, for Windows components, Windows programs and the kernel, but not for 3rd party programs. Not sure if that's what you meant or..
I also have old restore points, and in multiple systems I've installed Win 7, I've looked in system restore on several of them on multiple occasions and have always seen old restore points going back passed recent reboots. I guess we need something in the wake of all those ubuntu 10.04 bugs to make windows look like the monster.

Please look at the link. IE6 is not most popular, most common, most used or any other thing like it.
hitslink is probably a lot less biased than w3schools, readership wise.
IE8 is: http://marketshare.hitslink.com/browser-market-share.aspx?qprid=3

Ok, now put the soccor moms and solitaire playing grandma's in charge of the 'critical linux server' and see how long it last...
And your point is, that those systems are never linux systems? And also, corporate systems != financial institutions.
And linux is all command line, and will never reach 2% market share either.
