Been there, done that - in my mid-30's. I sure wouldn't want to take that on in my late 40's or later.
But that's the point of aging treatments, not just long life but long life while staying quite youthful - even if you where 500 years old, you wouldn't be in your late 40's, but more like mid twenties, or whatever is the "perfect" physical age when everything is ready but hasn't yet started to degenerate.
One thing everyone seems to be forgetting about our environment is that Earth's atmosphere is filled with deadly poison Martian microbes haven't been in contact with for billions of years, if ever - Oxygen.
Anaerobic bacteria don't tend to have very good lifetime estimates when exposed to oxygen.
... cosmic rays? right! they get some superhero sk1llz! So in case of bacteria that means...
Some of them become superhero bacteria and some of them become supervillain bacteria, alas, the bad guys don't have time infect anyone since they're busy avoiding getting their arse kicked by the good guys.
Smallpox decimated the native American population, because native American population had no exposure to the disease AND the disease had exposure to humans.
Unless there's been a hidden human population on Mars for the last ten thousand years to help those bugs adapt to us, there's no analog between those scenarios.
Depending on where you live, the roaches may not be naturally occuring. If you live in North America the roaches are a foreign species
There is no single "roach", but several species of cockroaches occurring in North America, many of which ARE native.
(there's a reason why it's called a 'German cockroach').
I guess there must be a reason, but it's now what you think it is. Despite the name, "German cockroach" is not originally native to Germany (or any other part of Europe for that matter), it's originally an African insect. Perhaps it should be called "common cockroach", houseroach or something.
system settings -> server settings -> services in gnome menu. Also known as system-config-services, if you don't run gnome/kde/something else with the same menu structure.
Good old "ntsysv" from RH days still works too, if you for some reason want very simple text mode semi-gui application.
And yeah, then there's chkconfig another poster mentioned if you want to go totally CLI.
I just tend to buy intel proccessors as they seem to have a longer life compared to AMDs.
Yeah, right. Of course you don't have anything to back it up, as usual. Except for "an article that you can't find", and doesn't strictly even relate to lifetime, except in very special circumstances. Even if we assume it's true, 10% of computers which lose their HEAT SINK, not just fan, die, what are the possibilities of that happening? Granted, it's not zero, but it's so low it just as well might be.
(And before you shoutout that intel's procs are hotter, stop using those prebuilt crap computers, they always have inefficient cooling.)
It doesn't have anything to do with cooling, intel's proc draw more power, which means they run hotter. Every last watt of that power gets converted to heat. It's black and white in intel's spec sheets, no cooling involved, just plain old pesky laws of thermodynamics.
It takes very little energy to get pure hydrogen to oxidize. If a tank is under enough pressure, the energy released from the expanding hydrogen leaking out will be enough to get it going.
Expanding gas is endothermic, it won't release any energy. If we're talking about really small hole, looks like it could heat up due to other factors though, so let's assume this is true and it indeed does auto-ignite at the moment it leaves the tank.
If there should be a rupture somewhere, which is more likely if there is a leak and a flame that nobody will be able to detect unless they walk into it, then you're in trouble. Ka-boosh!
Invisible flame is bad news if you happen to be the one to walk into it, or it sets other structures nearby to fire, but other than that, what kind of trouble? When does it go "ka-boosh"? Looks like the flame would go on as long as there is fuel left, but nothing more.
How do I get classical big "fireball" explosion when part burns as soon as it leaves the container, and rest dissipates instead of creating a ground-hugging fuel-air mixture cloud that can go boom?
It is a lot more explosive than gasoline (hence its use in early scramjets, pulse detonation engines, etc).
Yup, very highly explosive, in optimal mix. Pray tell, how do you get that when we're talking about leaks? One that stays around too, long enough to make a big explosion at ground level, outside setting.
Feel free to provide a scientifically valid scenario for both low and high pressure tanks. You've yet to say anything other than repeat "hydrogen is frigging dangerous" without any proof, whereas blaming other folks for unproven claims.
Nobody is planning to create tanks full of 2:1 O/H mixture.
A high pressure storage tank would be, though! ('cept for maybe the flying part...)
High pressure storage tank full of hydrogen would obviously not have any oxygen in it, and thus would not burn at all. Being at high pressure would also prevent any oxygen from getting in, until it's nigh empty and at about atmospheric pressure.
Also, since hydrogen is so light, any that would leak out would quickly rise rather than create an explosion prone standing fuel-air mixture near tank. Part of it would burn on exit (well, assuming high enough temperature to ignite), but that's basically it, a jet of flame, perhaps, but not a bomb.
Having used their web interface.. it DOESN'T MAKE SENSE to actually download all my mail and read it on a mail client.
One word: bullshit.
It's pretty good for a webmail. But, contrast that with email clients? Yup, contrasted allright, any remotely decent email client kicks its arse, hard. In both interface and speed.
It's 6 degrees celsius outside as I'm writing this (that's 42.8 F for you weird Americans).
There are no flowers outside. Nor any bees. It's way under the optimal, colder than after ka-blam, somewhat above freezing, though... By your reasoning, that should mean that when summer comes next year, bees have starved and died.
But... they'll be here. They are, every spring. That means there's something Wrong, eh? Maybe I'm just hallucinating and actually living in tropics. Or maybe it's teh matrix. Or maybe the bees are just more hardy than the people writing this article think.
Kind of both, perhaps. At least during RHL, code names tended to be interlinked in strange ways.
So... Yarrow is something you use for making beer, Tettnang is a german town with breweries, Heidelberg is town and a beer... FC4 will probably be a beer.
I wouldn't them 3rd Party any longer now that RH has publically stated the projects are integrated.
There is integration and then there is integration, fedora.us became/becomes fedora extras, but it's not in the core, nor was extras enabled by default in fc2 at least, dunno about 3. Officially endorsed third party, perhaps, but I'd say it's still third party.
Also, Red Hat uses it. They just call them 'Development, Test, Updates'.
No, they don't, not like Debian. Nor did they switch to that layout with Fedora, it's always been this way.
Though development (rawhide) somewhat resembles unstable, that's about it - test is not ever-changing tree of packages coming in from development that will get frozen at some point to become new stable, like it is in debian. RH's test are releases, beta so, but releases nevertheless.
Update? Yeah, of course stable version gets updates in every distribution on the planet.
I guess that's nice (assuming you're really talking for somewhere near £25 worth a month), but some of us has to pay for that device as much as it actually costs - which is about 500 EUR.
Would you really be as happy about the fluff features if that's the amount you'd have to shell straight out? That's a whole lot of money for me, and many other folks... and the portion of useless camera in that is certainly not insignificant.
Orbital collectors sending energy down to Earth? Good God, man, haven't you ever played SimCity? Do the words "microwave oops" ring a bell?
Orbital microwave platform proposals generally have a power density lower than regular sunlight, but since converting microwaves to electricity is more efficient that is no big deal, they need a very big receiver for that, but it also means it's not dangerous in any way, even if you're standing directly below.
SimCity is a work of fiction, do the words "oops, it's not not real" ring a bell?
And if you bothered to follow the link in the link you would find out that they are NOT talking about launching stuff into the Sun (which indeed is more expensive), but out of the solar system.
And things rarely turn out as easy as they seem, EM accelerators may seem really nice in theory, but that paper is quarter of a century old, and yet, nobody still hasn't done anything even remotely like it.
I don't understand people with your mindset, a mindset that strips individuals of their rights.
*YOUR* mindset is the one that strips inviduals of their rights.
Listen, if I have created something, and want to sell it to you with conditions, why shouldn't I be able to do that?
You should, and you are able to do that. Make a sales contract with me. If you want to take away some of my rights, you need to give me the agreement on a paper and then we go over it, agree that those restrictions are valid ones and both sign it. Deal done. Very easy, right?
But you should NOT expect that I'm bound by your conditions on a second I pick a package from store shell. Or find the note hidden within the box I haven't legally agreed to. It's either or, you either sell your stuff from shelves easily, or you deal with your customers personally if you want to impose restrictions on them. You can't have it both ways.
But if he'd stuck to the plot line he'd outlined in 2001 the book, it would have been Titan.
Maybe. Maybe not, he wasn't planning on writing a sequel, and Titan was never given any special attention in 2001, the moon of interest (with Monolith on it) was Iapetus.
But if you think it is, and want to do your share of alleviating the problem you perceive, please stop breathing out.
Bzzt. Breathing does not add to CO2 in any way because it is a closed loop, we only exhale what we eat, and what we eat comes from plants, which get their carbon from air.

I hope in the future vino and vncserver will use the NX (nomachine) compression like in freeNX. That would be a definite speedup...
NX is X protocol compression, it can't compress RFB (VNC), which is quite different from X.
The kernel still fits on floppy, there's just whole bunch of extra modules on initrd.
Guess they just want it to work out of the box on wide range of hardware.
