    The ISS is what..?

  2. Re:Mundie's real argument, and why it doesn't matt on Mundie Responds · · Score: 1

    Where in the GPL did you get that from?

  3. Re:The most telling line on Mundie Responds · · Score: 2

    Yes, the copyright holder has the right to release the same code under different licenses and conditions to whomever they choose.

  4. Re:What's the real motive here? on Digital TV Approaches · · Score: 1

    Or the studios could just explain how the new format has such superior quality to what everybody is already using, even though it's the same shit in the end.

  5. Re:They don't call Enlightenment 'E' for nothing.. on New Microsoft Feature: Planned Obsolescence · · Score: 1

    You might be trolling (or just dumb) but you can change nearly every single aspect of the Sawfish interface through the gnome control panel, or Sawfish's own config program (middle-click on desktop, Customize, All Setting).

  6. Re:What other MS-compatable alternatives are there on Mozilla 0.9 Out · · Score: 1

    The last time I used IE was on a 98SE system with 96MB ram.
    On a large /. article with moderation forms, it would completely skew the page when I scrolled and the whole system would be slow to the point of unusable.
    I was using the latest (at the time) versions of everything.

    And allow the browser to be able to take down the GUI and the OS along with it, yay!

  8. Re:What other MS-compatable alternatives are there on Mozilla 0.9 Out · · Score: 1

    Ahh, another thing I don't miss from my IE days.
    Any complicated form would completely hose the entire system, forcing a GUI restart.

  9. Re:I hope this doesn't turn into a reality-TV spec on To the Moon, Alice · · Score: 2

    Because hydrogen peroxide is extremely inefficiant and extremely dangerous to handle.
    One flake of the wrong kind of substance in the fuel tank and the whole thing blows up. I would rather store my oxidizer seperately from the fuel.

  10. Re:oh yeah that proves something: NASA deserpation on Tito In Space · · Score: 1

    OK, so the four crew on the station has a single Soyuz emergency return veichle that seats three.
    I guess Tito just gets a little orange card that reads:
    "In Case of Emergency: Die"

    Wouldn't that be the same as a clean re-implementation, and be legal?

  12. Re:oh yeah that proves something: NASA deserpation on Tito In Space · · Score: 2

    Right now the station is under construction. While I agree that untrained people would do fine on a station, choosing to be there while it's still being built is just dumb. The crew have an incredibly demanding schedule and could be hassled by another body on the station.

  13. Re: Linux Support on FireWire For Windows XP, But No USB 2.0 · · Score: 1

    Your USB *what* wasn't detected?
    There's no sense in loading kernel modules if there aren't any devices that use them.

  14. Re:I'm worried about this. It could be a disaster. on Microchips That Evolve · · Score: 1

    The 'unused' sections of the chip are probably contributing to slight variations in voltages and temperatures of other sections.
    This is a big problem with over-optomizing a chip without varying it's environment. You end up with a design that only works only on the one chip it was tested with and only under the exact same conditions.

  15. Re:next thing you'll see... on In-Game Advertising Comes of Age · · Score: 1

    Don't you know... they always stop using Roman numerals after 3 so that it doesn't confuse people.

  16. Re:Rotating Station Would Solve Many Problems on Window(s) on the World · · Score: 1

    But a rotating, perfectly balanced station couldn't be built in modules as the ISS is.
    It would also create many more problems that it would solve, and would have to be enormous to give the desired pseudo-gravity effect.

  17. Re:Let it all hang out on FCC Lays Down the Law On Decency · · Score: 2

    Kids have been shooting kids and people have been blowing up buildings for hundreds of years.
    Don't think that this is something new.

    In fact, IIRC in the early/middle 19th century a school teacher in newengland bombed the school he taught at and killed several dozen of his own students.
    I don't think that was MTV's fault.

  19. Re:Mission To Mars on Mars Odyssey begins · · Score: 1

    The point is that the shuttle is well designed for the task that it does, but is poorly designed for anything else.
    It would be a waste of weight to design a re-usable veichle for one flight.

  20. Re:Mission To Mars on Mars Odyssey begins · · Score: 1

    The Shuttle would never make it out of Earth's gravity well.

    It's important to remember the past, but what if the past wasn't worth remembering?

    Oh, I know his feelings about the music cartel.
    I was just pointing out how what people say can be skewed to say whatever you want them to.

    "I believe what Napster was doing was wrong," said Hatch, a part-time musician whose songs can be downloaded off Napster. "To be honest with you, RIAA is not wrong."
