The images are in the (unpopular?) JPEG2000 format; you'll probably need a special viewer to see them. See their FAQ from the google cache (since the site may go down...)
If you're using Windows, the FAQ claims that IrfanView will work -- but I never had any luck with it. Despite having 2GB of memory in my computer, I always got an "out of memory" error when attempting to load the ~500MB images. The plugin from Expressview worked for me.
Your post shows a complete lack of knowledge of how release of NASA technologies works.
NASA would LOVE for you to take their work and turn it into a new product or business. They have a whole office dedicated to it. See http://www.ip.nasa.gov/
Also, NASA already does have several open source applications (maybe you've heard of World Wind???), see http://opensource.arc.nasa.gov/
Honest question here, because I am puzzled. Do you actually like all that music? I have about 40GB of music, but I only listen to about 12 GB of that with any regularity. All the other music I have just isn't that good, and I haven't gotten around to deleting it from my hard drive.
I very rarely find new music that I actually like -- so I'm puzzled when I hear that someone has a 750GB music collection!
Computers seem to be heading in the direction of becoming more like appliances; something you just use to do what you want. Why should a normal computer user know exactly what's going on behind the scenes for every action they do?
I consider myself an advanced windows user, but I'm still not sure at all times what every application and service and background process is doing. If you tell me you DO know EVERYTHING that is happening -- well you are very special. Also, why should I care? Sometimes I just want to get my work done!
FTA: Since all of OpenSSL's source code has passed the testing process, now developers can focus on compiling binary libraries and submitting those for validation
Someone please explain to me why binaries aren't good enough for the first review, then later they are? Who says the new source code is "secure"?
Why didn't they require source code review for vendor products?
I'm afraid I disagree. The government is paying the contractors to develop new systems which meet the requirements. These systems did not exist before the government asked for them -- therefore they (we!) are paying for their development.
Your Dell analogy does not apply, because Dell does not develop any significant software for their computers; all software is COTS from other companies.
I don't know about the military, but at NASA, all source code for non-COTS products belongs to the U.S. government. If you develop software under contract, you must turn over the source code (with build instructions & requirements) upon delivery of the software.
No user will be forced to install the update. According to this page, the user will ALWAYS be notified (even if the user has "automatically install updates") that IE7 is ready to be installed.
It was too early for me to be looking at man pages before, but now that I'm awake...
memset (destination , datatocopy, numbytes);
The last argument should be the number of bytes to copy from datatocopy into the destination. If numbytes == 0, then copy all bytes from datatocopy. i.e. if sizeof(datatocopy) is > sizeof(destination), you have an overflow which might be exploited.
I did a Google search[...] Just goes to show you that Google is not a crutch for normal brain function.;-) The article with pictures is linked right from ESA's main page.
In the movie "Inside Man", an 8-year-old boy carries with him a portable video game system. The "villian" in the movie plays the game briefly, and we see the game action on the screen. This clip of the scene is Spike Lee's over-the-top attempt to show us that video game violence has gone too far. Ironically, he fears someone may take his idea and run with it.
If you are running Windows XP Professional (I think Windows 2000 Pro also has it), you can simply turn on process tracking in Group Policy. Every process that starts will now be logged in the security log. View it with the Event Viewer (Start.. Run.. type "eventvwr.msc")
I wrote a script in Perl to automate the process. It includes tagging the DRM-free files with the same tags as the original. This includes artwork, lyrics, etc.

FWIW, Nuance claims that their latest version of Dragon Naturally Speaking (v9) doesn't require training before use. But of course this is different software. But consider this -- aren't "Mom" and "Aunt" phonetically dissimilar enough that you should NOT need to train it?
I'm not one to defend MS, but I speculate that the volume on his microphone was set too high, causing distortion and clipping. Look at the volume meter when he talks -- it goes all the way to the top.
They have Faster Than Light travel, but on Battlestar Galactica (in the season finale), they voted for the president using hand-counted paper ballots! Even Galactica can't get secure e-voting...

Riiiiight, because human moral behavior arises from Christianity, doesn't it?

Doesn't seem a whole lot better than gasoline if it releases as much CO2...

You're welcome. Unforunately, the hardest part about getting data from the archive is finding the data/picture you are looking for!
Dear Troll,
The HST Data Archive (HDA) has always been available to the public, albeit after a one-year "proprietary rights" period.
Would using Microsoft Services for UNIX help you port it?

Could someone explain why that memset code (setting last argument to 0) is a bug?

You fail to state what OS you are running.

Instructions for how to enable process tracking (for exactly the same problem!)
I don't think the same can be done for Windows XP Home... but I've been wrong before
