...2.3.978a-ac-dc is far more important news indeed. Gee. Dozen of changes to ancient network drivers and to devfs. I am thrilled.. Come on. THis is business as usual. Win2K launch is not (as much as I dislike the system). Have a sense of perspective.

Do not you do memory management when coding in C++? Only by hand and error-prone. Your code spends 80% of its time withing like 10% of the program. If you do not create and dispose of too many objects in there - GC overhead is negligible and well worth it. REal bottleneck in Java for me was its floating point performance. I can not use GCC now, for lack of features, but I would expect it will alleviate this..
like it or not I do not have an opinion on this whatever works is fine - but I found that although the code would work just fine on $500 Intel/AMD box under Linux decision is made for Sun due to MUCH higher reliability of their hardware. So my (very humble) conclusion from what I saw is that proliferation of Linux on cheaper development hardware only facilitates the decision to go for a Sun on the production box (as opposed to when using NT to develop). Good compatibility with LInux is good news for Sun high end hardware. - Some of the boxes always will be big..
...what I observed, is when the "One big box" approach fails, and the software, you are talking about, is rewritten to be destributed - that other box one buys often is still a Sun. Given that porting lots of code from Linux development boxes, that pop up, replacing NT, to Solaris is often as easy as typing configure/make, that makes a lot of sense...

Yes it is. I am running 6.1 with updates from rawhide (== 6.2). Unless you have specific problems with 6.1 (some particular versions of packages) - 6.2 is not better.

Sure, when I said "no" I meant nothing significant
My point was not about who can design a better engine. I am sure US has enough H1-B's and green cards to develop whatever they want. My point is that for the money paid, they got more than enough in return, and knowing NASA's own track record of delays (personally I have spent extra 2 years in grad school because of one of them - say about missed opportunities) all the current PR company is bullshit.
As long as your out of the atmosphere it'll take a fraction of the fuel to get from here to there
It is MUCH cheaper to lift that extra fuel to low orbit. Consider - either two 20 ton launches to 300km, or two 3 ton launches to 36000km - for the same price. Say nothing, as I mentioned below, that you would not want to work for months inside radiation belts.. Believe me, you would not.
A geosynchronous orbit IIRC is in the realm of 12000
..will put them nicely into the raditation belts and kill all the crew in the next magnetic storm.
If you actually paid attention about Mars exploration projects you would notice that a great deal of attention is paid for radiation shielding from potential solar explotions.

Me thinks, Russia should just screw that ISS affair and go try make some real money off its technology - not some crumbs from Goldin's table.
With all this Goldin's bullshit - did you ever pay attention what are the money involved? It is rudiculous - for all that hard earned knowledge Russian firms get few bucks. And that Goldin (NASA's boss) jerk is covering his ass blaming them.
delays.. Chandra was 2 years late.. Sattelite I got my thesis data from was 5(!) years late, sitting 3 months on the top of the booster in the end. Of course there are delays - especially if you want to screw people over using their current situation. If NASA paid honest money for what it got, it would have been done: projects like Sea Launch, or new engine for Lockheed's booster went just fine..
Who is getting this money?

Have not heard about any FreeBSD IPO's. Is any company making $$ off it?
That's exactly my point. NASA/DOE and Co just had 4 crashes in a year, resorting to buying engines/boosters from competitors, while spitting PR bullshit on how Russia is setting back ISS. AFAIK, it was US people who were positevely insisting on skipping November window for launch after Proton crash. (Though Proton still has a better record than Delta's say nothing latest Titan)
NASA bought shitload of know-how for peanuts - the money Russia got will not buy a toilet seat for shuttle -- and still spinning it as if Russians are only ones to blame for delays.
beause the Rusians haven't figured something out.
Why is then they were thinking on adopting Russian spacewalking suit design?
Knowing a lot of guys from NASA, and some Russian engineers now working there this PR spinmastering makes me sick..

I would better wait until they implement generics/templates and get a good native compilation working.
