Mir Lives

· Score: 1
Wasn't the Mir, space station infested with a mold, or fungus. it seems to me that it would be cheaper for russia to drop mir, and invest some of there money into the international space station.

If that article is correct, I wouldn't want to send my citizens up there, its just way to dangerouse, risking there lives in a rusty space pinto.
I would agree with you there, but it can also cause problems for shallow people, once you do meet them in person, are they going to live up to your standards. I hate judgemental people, and the world is full of them.
historicaly haven't redhat's.0 releases been buggy? I installed 7.0 the other day and am pleased to see some new small things like a graphical lilo menu (hey it's prettier then nt's boot loader menu)and they changed the kernal hacking icon in the graphical install (hehe i know it isn't important) i'll deffinatly wait to use it on anything important.
one thing i am dissapointed in is the lack of sparc support for 7.0 but i guess you can't have everything.
i've noticed that some readers of slashdot have stuck there noses up at redhat because of various reasons shouting things like "Debian is better" or "slackware is superior", but i have to admit that i was weened off of windows with redhat, and alot of my skills came from useing and tinkering with redhat. and it will always have a place on one of my boxen. sorry about the fragmented comment, but i'm tired
I'm slowly starting to get addicted to diffrent hardware platforms, i've recently gotten some sparcs off of e-bay, And i hope this new amd chips comes off nicely,
I never thought i'd see the UN working on a project like this. This is deffinatly a good thing. ________________________________________________ ________

How much longer until the government is not longer controled by the people in general, but by big corporations. Even though this is in germany how long before the RIAA talks the US government into taxing all of our computer equipment to pay for royalties. Granted I have downloaded music off of napster, dubbed vhs tapes and the like. but why should everybody be taxed because of the actions of a few? it makes no sense to me. _____________________________________________ ___________
i'm not worried about it becomeing a widespread desktop OS, i just want to have the choice between doing my job with a linux workstation and doing my job with a windows workstation. ____________________________________ ____________________
yup, wouldn't realy surprise me, if star office and ms office played better with each other, then i would be all set. but seeing full support for ms documents (word, excel, powerpoint, etc) in star seems like a dream:( ______________________________________________ __________
Linux has the potential to become a desktop OS, all we need now are real solid business applications, star office is great for me at home, but i need the full fledge power off ms office at work, if microsoft would port office to linux. I would no longer need NT. the games are deffinatly a step in the right direction though. _________________________________________ _______________

whats going to happen next? are the search engines going to be sued for the content of there index. are they going to be forced to filter out questionable materiel out of fear of lawsuit. Artist have a right to there money but i can see this going to far very easily. and i for one don't want to see its destination.
Gentleman, you can't fight in here, this is the war room..
I am a begining perl codie. and if it wasn't for open source i would not have made all my deadlines. Finding scripts that almost do what i need them to and fixing them to what i need is probabley one of the biggest productiviy kicks i have had wile working. I have heard family talking about how they think open source is bad, there arguments are usualy the following "people can see your code and find ways to hack in" but i just mention peer review and then they understand. sorry about my spelling, i just got the warm fuzzies and needed to speak:)

What about the graphical MUDS, like everquest (called evercrack here at work for its addictiveness.) there deffinatly gaining popularity. ultima online didn't seem to do as well as everquest. but go on e-bay and you can find players selling there everquest items FOR REAL MONEY. and with upcomeing starwars rendidtion of the game they will get even more popular.

you must not remember what it was like back in school. This is not a good thing in any way shape or form. there is a reason why the saying kids are curel. if somebody doesn't like you in school, they will do anything in there power to make you as unhappy as they can. and that includes turning you in for no reason. Gentleman, you can't fight in here, this is the war room..
I agree with you. Although I would love to see linux on more and more computers, I understand that as it continues to grow more and more joe consumers, are going ot buy it try to install it and screw something up. I've already seen it happen, people who have no background/patience to use a unix workalike but want to get on the linux bandwagon are going to end up in a bad posistion. I almost want Linux to stay with us geeks.

I now from experiance that to much Vitamin C can cause urinary tract problems, and to much calcium tends to collect on your bones and cause things such as heel spures (extermely painfull deposits of calcium) Gentleman, you can't fight in here, this is the war room..
Censorship sucks, But. In the case of censoring libraries net terminals buy use of a program, I would say that it is the Libraries perogitive. I sure as hell won't go there. But they need to base there decision on what the comunity wants. I personaly find information seeking restrictions in libraries to be totaly counter productive. But I don't use them. I hope things go well for the community there. I just hope ignorence doesn't win in this case.

I just see flameing as people letting out stress or just being an ass via the assumed mask of anomity(sp?)
I'm slowly starting to get addicted to diffrent hardware platforms, i've recently gotten some sparcs off of e-bay, And i hope this new amd chips comes off nicely,
i'm happy, i like opera, and i'm glad to see it in linux.
ya, they need to relax and build a little birdhouse in there soul_ ____________
