Actually the FAA will allow it, check out Chapter III of the FARs for the regulations regarding space launches and launch sites. I believe his hardest part will be the insurance. He has to have 1.5 Billion I believe. And he has to qualify to get the licenst for a launch site.
There's actually a competition on right now for the first person or company to successfully launch a Spacecraft into orbit and sucessfully bring it back, and then repeat it within two weeks (Project X I beleive, Sorry, don't have the URL). Maybe he'll win this. It's a 10 Million Dollar Prize. I say good luck to him.
Actually, I think that a rad tool for Linux is great. And Borlands got the background to be really benificial to the GNU/Linux Community. Easily portability between GNU/Linux+X and Windows means that more commercial software companies will port their software to Linux.
Even if those of us that support the open source model don't use it. The more RAD development tools we have, the better the community will be.
I program mainly in C/C++, but for a quick and dirty program, I still switch back to Pascal.
I'm sure I'll get flamed for this, but that's my $0.02 'nuff said
No wonder you're posting as an anonymous coward. I use Linux and think it's great. I have friends that use FreeBSD, and I think it's great. They both fill niches in the community, and the code for a lot of things gets shared back and forth. Just my $.01 'nuff said
I know lots of people in Kansas (Born and raised there) and I don't know anyone who is that bigoted.
to the Anonymous Coward who is crying out sexism: Use any "good, Collegiate" dictionary and you will find the roots of mankind are from latin, and does not refer specifaclly to the male species.
Of course, this would be assuming that you're old enough to understand a Collegiate Level dictionary, so this post probably won't apply.

Slackware Updates

There's another possibility as well. If it's something I think I may want to remove (or put onto another computer), I extract the source tarbal into/usr/src and run./configure and make. Then I run./configure --prefix=/tmp/[Program Name] to install it into a directory under tmp. (Note that some packages, like WINE, require that you use --prefix=/tmp/wine/usr/local or something similar.) After I've re-./configured the source I do a make install. It then puts the files into/tmp/[Program Name]/... but they are compiled to think they go in/... I then change to the/tmp/[Program Name] and run makepkg [Program Name].tgz and it makes a Slackware tarball file. I can then run installpkg [Program Name].tgz and if I later want to remove it, all I have to do is run removepkg. I do it this way because I have three system running Slackware and I want the same program on each of them. Another option is to use installpkg -m [Program Name] which takes the current directory tree/tmp/[Program Name]/... and installs it, also putting the files that it's installing into the package log to later be removed if you want.
I've been using Slackware since 96 and have tried Redhat, Mandrake, and Turbo Linux, but I keep going back to Slackware. The other distributions were nice in their ways, but I like the Brute Force simplicity of Slackware. I am in the process of trying Debian and Suse and Corel Linux, just to see what they're like.

I say way to go Borland/Inpris/Corel/...
