To be fully compatible, Linux would have to run all software. The would include things like Windows hardware drivers. Linux and Windows handle the interface between hardware and the OS very differently. As long as the software you plan on using does generic type things, like write files to the hard drive or display a picture on the screen, you could possibly run software. But, the OS is the interface between the hardware and the various running programs and components. I don't think they will ever develop a way to figure out what a driver from another OS is trying to do and perform that function in an OS designed to do it differently, as well as manage requests from other programs trying to perform the same function.
I have never heard anyone complain about the possibility of the orbital transfer booster from a Mars probe, even though every one of them has the possibility of hitting Earth at some point in the future. Yet, people are suddenly concerned about this car. If they aren't complaining about NASA, Russia or the ESA launching them, why suddenly SpaceX? It's probably because, for the first time, they realize that orbits aren't one way. Things go round and round until they hit something. We can thank SpaceX for enlightening the general public to that.
If you are worried about this car, why aren't you worried about Mariner 4? Or any other probe or rocket body that was sent on the same trajectory. They all may impact Earth some day.
First, to test the rocket he had to fire something. Two, making as much of the rocket as possible reusable is cutting down on space junk. Lastly, there are numerous chucks of rock in the same type orbit, and they slam into the Earth all the time. We need to find ways to deal with them anyway.
The wave harmonic theory of historical perception, in its simplest form, states that history is an illusion caused by the passage of time, and that time is an illusion caused by the passage of history.
Instead of "vocabulary from those Wikipedia articles finds its way into scientific papers," it was the vocabulary for the scientific paper that ended up in Wikipedia.
The point behind the currency was to be a way to transfer value without the regulations attached to fiat money. Somehow it turned into an investment strategy instead. People were buying them to take advantage of the price fluctuations. It kind of defeated the purpose behind them.

That's news. I thought it broke up years ago.

In other news, 60,000 PLA soldiers have just crossed the Vietnam border...
How about the Outernet?
But, since he doesn't have a car any more, he went with satellite internet instead.

Since all roads lead to Ausfahrt, I'll just wait for that bus. Then I will be sure to get there.

Does this mean people will move on from Windows XP and IE 6? About time.
I've been on /. too long. I read this a LaTeX and GIMP.
Great explanation of using open source material, no explanation of its function.

They're just giving instructions to the French Resistance. Vive la France.
Let's hear a little love for the defense.

I'm not a rocket scientist, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

That's why I stayed with Windows 2000.

There was supposed to be an Earth-shattering Kaboom!
If someone else can port the exploit to Windows 2000, Microsoft should be capable of porting the fix.
