There indeed is a difference, but I think you make a mistake here.
Astrology is about predicting the future or horoscopes with some mumbling about the cosmos blah blah blah.
Astronomy is a real science, and seti is trying to prove a that there is live out there. They are simple trying to provide evidence for a mathematical model that says that there is a good chance that there is live outside our solar system. no astrology involved here.
The assumption that it will not be of any use is also wrong, although not in the near future there is a change that theorizing about quantum theory, relativity and such will provide faster computers/communication in the near future. The caveman rubbing two sticks together probably got critisized to for not hunting but once he got fire I bet people said something different....
Not interesting??? Did you know that sciences like astronomy are one of the reasons faster and better computers are being made as we speak (seti is a nice example trying out 'hot new networking techniques' and 'computer methods').
And because of psychology and sociology I know that your post will probably a result of some strange twist in your head caused by your direct social environment;)
Looks like it is time to publish an online magazine covering mp3 files...... Lets see if they are going to sue every library over the world for exchanging illegal mp3's
You probably mean the messages that show up after init has started. Those aren't kernel messages, they are the output of the various deamons and scripts being started.
Also, if more and more bits of kernel start displaying sponsorship messages, you'll get the problem that the messages displayed early on are scrolled off the screen within a few milliseconds. Already, even on a fairly slow machine, there are plenty of kernel messages which you never get the chance to read, because they scroll away so quickly.
You forget to mention people who have been in jail and did better themselfs, or people found not guilty.
These people will be marked as 'dangerous' the rest of their lives. If guilty people are wrongly released then you should fix the problem, not a result of it.
Many people easely forget that such things also have negative sides. I would rather have someone guilty free if the only way to get them would also cause someone innocent to be a victem of that method.
Isn't the whole idea of sentencing to prevent the person from doing it again and then reintegrate into society? Or what about people who were acused but found not guilty? Public opinion will still hang them just to be sure.
Simple: if the earth gets more mass it pulls harder at other objects such as females. Remember that weight is something different than mass. Weight is the result of two masses interacting. Jeroen
I patented the answer to that question... Send me $100 and I will tell you.
Okay, this is a joke. But it illustrates what is wrong with patents today, everybody tries to patent everything, even obvious things. This results in the slowdown of progress because anybody who tries to innovate stumbles over a dozen patents from people who are not interested in innovation but just money.

Huh??? What is so difficult? just untar the source in /usr/src, do a make (menu)config.
And then: /boot; cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /vmlinuz; lilo; make modules; make modules_install; reboot
make bzImage; cp System.map
Next drink coffe and return after 10 minutes.

If they did not better themself then something is done wrong in jail. If that is the case you should fix that, not the result.

9.8m/s^2 (or 9.8N/Kg)is not the gravitational constant, and it varies on different places of the planet (deepsee, mountain, equator, poles). Jeroen

I am trying to convince them to do the same thing. So mail me!

The reason it was found within four years is because someone went through the source and checked it. This will never happen to M$ source.

The tests are done with cheap dishes, is the actual thing going to be build with the same dishes or larger ones?????
Even stranger, the 'overrated' just vanished again. I think somebody has been pushing the wrong buttons....
And making the thing 'expandable' is not really revolutionarry in my opinion.....
