    You must be using Linux. I can't seem to figure out the copy and paste stuff either. When in a web site and coping is it ? middle-click? -V? I can never keep all these things straight. I just try each one and see what comes out. They usually pick something I've used in the last 10 minutes and sticks it in the text box. rearly is it what I was looking for.

  2. Re:Justifying space research on The Why of Space Program Races · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Sounds great. Lets just invent a bunch of solutions wether or not they have probelms. I bet Henry Ford could have just invented the Assembly line with building something. I'm sure Ugg said "I build round disk that rolls on ground, someday we find use for it." People don't invent things for the sake of inventing them.

    "Necessity is the mother of invention." -someone

    Space research is a Necessity that will birth the inventions. You're putting the cart before the horse, as they say.

    Nobody likes to admit they've used SCO but one thing they did right is adjusted their init process to have both S??script K??script and to include a P??script for Parallel start scripts. P and S scripts were started in the same order but P scripts would be spawned will S scripts would be required to complete before continuing.

    Of course there are more deaths in automobiles than plains. USians spend a hell of a lot more time in automobiles then in planes. If you break it down by hours you'll find that the chance of dieing in either a plain or car is about equal.
