I'm well aware of that "dumbass". The point I was making is the US didn't fund the Taliban during the Russian invasion. Your rant about what happened after the Russians withdrew is irrelevant to that point. Troll much?
It doesn't carry anywhere near enough fuel for a sun dive.
Most of the energy to get into its current orbit came from its PAM-S and IUS solid rocket boosters, with Jupiter kicking it out of the ecliptic. Until New Horizons was launched recently, Ulysses was the fastest ever artificially-accelerated object - that's how much energy we're talking about. Ulysses started out with 33.5kg of hydrazine maneuvering fuel, and was down to 8.4kg in May 2002. In a nutshell, you could use up all of the remaining fuel and not get anywhere near the Sun (perhelion distance is around 1 AU.)
The grandparent is correct: writing to a ((E)E)PROM stores data into read-only memory. You can only write to (E)EPROMs in a device if the circuitry to do so is included. EEPROMs are convenient, but otherwise no different to EPROMs in this respect.

Slashdot Mirror
Apparently Microsoft's chief software architect left recently. Coincidence?
What were the "two words".
I'm guessing the second word is "SCO", and the first is unprintable. "Litigious bastards" also works.
If it was so important, why was it sent as an email - particularly to an administration known to "lose" the odd million or five?
Dammit man, there are more than two candidates for President!!!!!
Don't tell me Hillary Clinton is still at it... "It's just a flesh wound!"
Really, there is nothing to see here. All of the photos I looked at (before I got bored) were just streaks in the sky - whoopee.
meh, excuse me... I just found it amusing... "VIA Debuts Mini-ITX 2.0"... and its just some 30 minute 3D model...
"Dammit Jim, I'm a doctor - not an electrical engineer!"

Whatever you do, don't ask it for a cup of tea while it's connected to the Internet. "Share and enjoy."
"Designed for Windows XP and Wine 1.0" would be better.
That works fine if you're paying your dozen monthly personal bills sent to your home.
I don't pay mine - problem sol
NO CARRIER
I got the same figure (4008.33734), but Google couldn't tell me how many Libraries of Congress that was.

Do we really want a country [that] ... has a long history of providing arms to nations/factions it later fights ... Taleban against the Russians
Not Taliban - Mujahideen (a loose group of Afghan warlords and fighters.) The Taliban arose later with support from Pakistan.
...until your cat chews through it.
That's nothing; try rabbits. I've seen photos of what happens when a rabbit gets to play in a server room; it's not pretty. (The rabbit won.)
What idiot modded the parent a troll?
Irony: asking which Slashdot moderator is an idiot.

Red shirts!
Only if you don't have a last name.

I would say yes, otherwise they would have stuck their logo on a billboard for considerably less money and risk.
Forget the philosophy - does it have oil?
Didn't you learn anything from The Matrix? Take the red pill, not the blue pill.

"Microsoft can just embrace, extend and extinguish the domino effect." There, fixed that for you.
