Got Tracks?

Friction = Force * Coefficient of friction.
Don't forget that although the surface area of the track is much larger, the force exerted per unit of area will be less -- since your coefficient of friction for the track won't necessarily be much higher than a standard off-road tire, there won't be much difference in overall friction. It really depends on the tread pattern which they've apparently designed in such a way that you don't damage your linkages.
We really didn't think anything of it. Until we found out that Ford was actually suing us for linking to them! Apparently their logic goes something like this - someone who takes the initiative to type www.fuckgeneralmotors.com into their browser winds up being pointed to the IP address of Ford's main server, and the Ford homepage pops up on their screen. Funny, right?
If Ford is so utterly concerned about this, why don't they just add a "NameVirtualHost" and redirect traffic somewhere else?
Please don't tell me that no one at Ford has thought of this. Makes you wonder where their motives are...
Earlier probes frequently used radioactive materials for power (like a number of the Voyager probes). There were no accidents, and the level of technology back then was MUCH less than now.
I agree with the first part of your statement - it's not so much what you get when you reach your goal (Mars), it's the knowledge you gained when you look back at everything you learned on the way there.
The best one I've seen is JP Aerospace. Their progress may be slow, but it's steady.. and they're certainly targeting some pretty high altitudes! Hopefully we'll see some information on their May 5/6th launch soon.
This mission is far too dangerous to risk a valuable human life on. I believe that, instead of Brian Walker, we should put Jon Katz in the rocket. Even if the rocket explodes the mission will still be a success!
The GPL asserts that any product derived from source code licensed under it becomes subject to the GPL itself. When the resulting software product is distributed, the creator must make all of the source code available, at no additional charge. This effectively makes it impossible for commercial software companies to include source code that is licensed under the GPL into their products, since by doing so, they are constrained to give away the fruits of their labor.
This, of course, is much less desirable than being able to sell the fruits of someone else's labor:)
The computer image generator system is a SGI Onyx2 InfiniteReality2 Monster. It includes six InfiniteReality graphic displays, 24 R12000 processors, 12 gigabytes of memory, and access to large disk I/O and gigabit ethernet networking.
Just to run 4 projectors and a wireless glove or two? Good grief.
In the east there is a shark which is larger than all other fish. It changes into a bird whose wings are like clouds filling the sky. When this bird moves across the land, it brings a message from IDC. This message it drops into the midst of the programmers, like a seagull making its mark upon the beach. Then the bird mounts on the wind and, with the blue sky at its back, returns home.
The novice programmer stares in wonder at the bird, for he understands it not. The average programmer dreads the coming of the bird, for he fears its message. The master programmer continues to work at his terminal, for he does not know that the bird has come and gone.
You seem to be stuck at the "average programmer" level. My sincere hopes that you grow out of it.

I hadn't realized that OSI approves IBM's licenses.
To my earlier point of what is missing, for admins I'm referring to good, solid GUI based apps for configuring the basic services. A small suite to deal with Apache, Sendmail, Inn, and other daemons.
You nuts? I'll dismiss completely the silliness of the idea of creating a GUI to handle the possible complexities of Apache, but the problem with Sendmail, INN, et. al. is not in the configuration, it's the fact that the daemons are COMPLEX BY NATURE.
It is not necessary for Unix to be simple. Unix is designed to handle complex tasks, and if you don't need or understand that complexity, then by all means use Windows.
Our system architecture consisted of seven Web servers running Linux, and a Sun E220 that stored our database. One thing we learned through testing was that the open-source tools performed significantly better on a single-processor 700-MHz Pentium III machine running Linux than they did on a quad-processor Sun machine.
The Sun E220 doesn't take 4 processors - two 450MHz CPUs is the limit.
But it fails to tell us why people outside of the technical world should really care. It raises many more questions than it answers. It fails to address the true social implications of technologies like this: do Harry and Martha
in Dubuque need peer-to-peer?
Actually, Jeremie Miller (Jabber) lives just outside of Dubuque. I'm not sure I've met Harry and Martha yet, though.
BTW, I'm purposely not identifying the domain (though it's possible to figure it out) just because... well, frankly, I'd rather not give them the free traffic.
If I promise not to click any of their banners will you tell me?:)
Microsoft already has a fix out. I think this bug was reported today. I'm impressed.
You think wrongly. See http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS01-020.asp:

Microsoft thanks Juan Carlos Cuartango (http://www.kriptopolis.com) for reporting this issue to us and working with us to protect customers.
And furthermore from: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/policy.asp:
When you see a security professional acknowledged in a Microsoft Security Bulletin, it means that they reported the vulnerability to us confidentially, worked with us to develop the patch, and helped us disseminate information about it once the threat was eliminated.
Other comments on this article have noted that the patch was included in IE SP2 which was released on March 6th. This is quite wonderful; now your common cracker knows to dissect Microsoft patches very carefully to find out what exploits they can learn before the exploit is ever announced. I am quite unimpressed with this policy.

- How would you feel if someone pointed the URL of allslashottersareassholes at your site?
I'd feel like adding a NameVirtualHost directive to my Apache config and redirecting all traffic to 127.0.0.1.- We really didn't think anything of it.

Well, they've already won the "arms" race....Right next to the phrase "Eh, dude!"
