  1. Re:Interesting question would be, on Russia Doubles Price For Launching US Astronauts · · Score: 1

    Please use correct values: Delta IV Heavy has only leo 25.8t, gto 10.8t.

    And it had till now *2* successful starts - in over 5 years. Appears to be no the best rocket available considering that Ariane 5 had 45 successes in 13 years of usage. But I guess american pride prohibits accepting better tech ;)

  2. Re:Interesting question would be, on Russia Doubles Price For Launching US Astronauts · · Score: 1

    That heavy lifter already exists - It's name is Ariane 5ECA. Nearly as much LEO as the shuttle (21t vs 24,4t) and more GTO (9.6t vs 3.8t). And don'T forget that we also have the Ariane5ES-ATV that delivers the ATV to the ISS. It's not a big step to make a man-ready-version of the atv. So now Nasa's arrogance for esa bites them back - The esa-missions to moon and mars are still on schedule.

    The russians have a ultra-heavy-lifter in principal, too. It's called Energija and has LEO 96t (yes nearly *4* times of the shuttle) and GTO 22t.

    The knowledge of what is a monopoly and what's not appears to be not clear for many people...

    The old galactika didn't suck - it is the new one that is utter junk.

    And thank the lord for this. The new galactica was a bad rape of the old series and it's makers should burn in hell for it...

  7. Def better with music on Music While Programming? · · Score: 1

    Well I can definitely work better listening to music instead of the noise my co-workers produce.

  8. Re:EULA in germany... on Psystar's Rebel EFI Hackintosh Tool Reviewed, Found Wanting · · Score: 1

    Thats why the german Win7-Boxes have the eula plastered onto the side of the package....

  9. Re:Bind server on login, not character creation on The Problem of Shards, Servers, and Queues In MMOs · · Score: 1

    PhantasyStarOnline and PhantasyStarUniverse did/do this imo quite good. There are a number of server and you can play on each one. On connect you get on a random free server but can message with friends on any server and switch to other servers through a special place on the starting area as long as it has free slots.

  10. Re:Russia... on First European Commander of the ISS · · Score: 3, Informative

    Yes, on the continent of South America but *in* the EU. French Guiana is part of France and therefore part of the EU.

  11. Re:ESA NOT EU on First European Commander of the ISS · · Score: 1

    Technically Canada could be considered part of the EU - As part of the CommonWealth it's very british ;)

  12. Re:no kidding. on Did Chicago Lose Olympic Bid Due To US Passport Control? · · Score: 1

    And sadly as it is: deserved. The US had such a thing coming a log time due to it's behaviour around the world.

    Besides the number of deaths at 9/11 is a joke as reason for all what happened afterwards. Hell even in small germany we have more deaths from car-accidents per year.

    Hell does this video cry out loud *fake*. And even bad fake. The composing sucks. Guess every beginner at composing could do better work.

  16. Re:Apple wouldn't be hurt... on Microsoft Agrees To EU Browser Ballot Screen · · Score: 1

    Underpowered? What the hell is underpowered at dual-quad-core server-hw? We even use smaller boxes than my MacPro to to massive Websphere-based company-apps. So where do you get the underpowered part?

  17. Re:Is there a way to filter out anything "iPhone"? on Google Latitude Arrives For the iPhone — As a Web App · · Score: 1

    Thx for the clarification. Yes iWork is not for heavy business-usage but can go a long way. I'll use Pages currently for the layout of a complete eBook with lots of tables and art. And it behaves quiet nice on my box - But it may be that smaller systems have more problems with it.

  18. Re:Is there a way to filter out anything "iPhone"? on Google Latitude Arrives For the iPhone — As a Web App · · Score: 1

    What exactly is mostly useless at iWork? I'm quite fond on the package and often leave InDesign behind because Pages is nicer to work with and gives good enough results.

    Photos are *no* copies. Even repro-photos are really hard and creative work. And this work is rightly protected here in europe.
