yes, the cold war... I remember the day when USA went out public that they weren't pointing their nukes straight at russia, but rather out in the pacific, russia followed shortly after. this meaning that if someone hit the button by mistake, all that would be nuked was this piece of water. Was such a relief that them two could give each other the benefit of a doubt. of course it only took around 5- 10 minutes to re-aim the ICBMs at proper targets, but still. we were one step away from nuking each other to oblivion

you could say that, but it's more like MDI done right. tabs are more like a stack of cards, with tabs in a designated area to easily reach easch one of the them, whereas 'proper' MDI was more like sheets of paper thrown all over the fscking place.
bit OT, but one fun thing with todays c++ compilers is that structs are compiled into a class with all it's members public. yup, you can have methods in c++ structs!
you can speed it up on windows with this little program. pick the first app in the list. It removes all plugin and also gives you the option to restore them later if you need to.
I might have misunderstood you slightly, I was under the impression that you meant in everyday life as in writing a comment on slashdot for example. Yeah, a CEO should be careful with what he write to his customer, but if I get an email from my tech lead regarding something urgent in the end of a project when time is dear I do not sit and judge people because of a spelling mistake or ill formed sentence.
sorry, but that's bull, IMHO. If you're writing quickly in the heat of the discussion, or in the heat of a brainstorm session there are usually more important things to worry/think about than spelling, as long as the message gets through. It's more about prioritising where to put your effort.
not neccessarily, the temp can reach cosy +20 degrees C on a nice day. I'm more suprised the water doesn't boil away in the very low atmosperic pressure though now if it's liquid water.
yeah, you get the bends, that's why austronaught have to breathe pure oxygen for 2(IIRC) hours before going out on a space walk - the pressure in the suit is far less than 'normal' pressure inside the ship/station.
YOu also have to make sure that you let all air out of your lungs, otherwise they migh pop - another scuba diving related danger!
Not sure if you would be able to live for extended period in a vacuum but with a oxygen supply. Nasa had an incident with a suit getting decompressed and the guy was OK, but fainted because of lack of oxygen he stayed consious for about 20 sec. you can read more about it here
Ah, from what I remember from the EULA they got for their licence you waiva all right to sue them in case they did a fsck-up. bit of a bummer, then again, the EULA might not stand up in court itself. You can find an analysis of it on groklaw
We already know the there's frozen water at the poles, what we're trying to find out is if there ever was liquid water (seas, lakes, etc) on the planet
maybe they should try to land some kind of half-pipe on the red planet and then let some skater kid grab the controls, now that would be a sight for sore eyes, especially if they could get Opportunity there and film it as well! (I know, I know, it would be a bit of a trek)
hmmm, I always thought it was his mother (on earth) who made the costume using a sharp shard and something reasembling a needle from superman's crashed ship

bzzzt, actually, you would live for quite some time (well, you would be consious for around 15 - 20 sec, IIRC. more info here). and you wouldn't freeze that quickly since the only way to get rid of your heat is via radiation, which isn't very effective, cause as cold as it is in space there are not many (cold) atoms around to cool you down, think if a thermos, it has a layer of vacuum in it's bottle as an insulator, space itself is hence a pretty good insulator as well
oh, but then the *fun* starts! Like IBM's counter suit for example, Novell's audit as well. SCO apparently owns Novell dosh for the MS and Sun licences (SCO is only allowed to keep 5% of them, IIRC). We also got RedHat's suit to follow. Gonna be interesting to see how much is left after al this really! *grin*

not only that, the BOrland c++ compiler is free as well on the net, just go to borland and download

well, I might as well talk to linux back home, though my girlfriend might find me a bit odd talking to my computer!
(joke aside: Linus speaks swedish, a minority language in Finland - I do think he's pretty good at finnish though as well!)

ah, it was thought so, but then they discovered that the poles was water based under a layer of dry ice, IIRC.
a quick google gave this:

yes, but not a *standard* lib for these things.

just to clarify, with last release I of course meant 4.3
uh, no, you can just fork XFree from the last release and continue from there...
