arrrgh,the whole point is that nuclear energy *is cleaner* than that shitty coal and oil power plants you see around! I want coal out, and nuclear in. coal and oil is the stuff that are responsible for the (pretty much) proven global heating and yes, it causes deaths and cancer on it's own. We can process and reuse the waste of our current nuclear plant now if we wanted and pretty much get rid of all waste material (see links in other posts), but it doesn't seem those anti-nuclear-enery-people wants that!!! THat want to have the waste product so they got somethnig to whine about!! arrgh, sorry for the rant, but sometimes I just feel so bitter...
while firebird is a much better browser, it doesn't have anywhere close the market cap that ie has. thing is ie is usually 'good enough' for most users, and it comes preinstalled on all windows boxes, which firebird doesn't, until that happens, ie will be the leader, not in tech, but in market cap at least.
ah, actually, the the temperature of the poor few atoms whizzing around in space is very low, there is not really enough of them to chill you really, the main way to loose heat in space is via heat radiation, which is happen fairly slowly. Yes, all those movies showing you freezing instantly to ice when you enter space unprotected (mission to mars springs to mind) are wrong. Vacuum is really an insulator. Since MArs got an atmosphere which will conduct heat much better than space you will feel damn much colder there, mind you it's not that mindnumblingly cold if you got the right gear. Remember, there is no bad weather, only bad clothing!;-)
You might be right, however, I doubt it will kill of KDE though, possibly just making it a bit more 'grassroot', I bet it still gonna hang around most distros, only as second choice.
umm, you got any source for that? From what I know the steering system is developed inhouse by saab (written in some kind of dialect of ADA). What I heard the first crash were caused because the system was to sensitive and jerky (the pilots had complained about this numerous times), the second crash were cause because of the plane going too slow into a turn, it started to wobble, which the pilot tried to compensate for, the problem was that the steering system tried to compensate as well, which just made things worse. if the pilot just had let go of the joystick and let the computer deal with the wobble, everything would have been fine, but I suppose that's easy to say when you're standing on the ground.
Ah, saw it as well. The americans *did* get it of the ground in the end. They also built a plane modeled after the Wright brothers' design, not the easiest plane to model after, but they did it as a tribute to the Wright brothers. Yes, I live in the UK and I thought the UK team did a marvelous job, even if I suspected the UK pilot having a death wish pushing his plane so far!;-)
Doubt it, it was piggybacking on Mars express, which is the primary mission, hence it had severe weight constraints. etc, etc. They also had to prove that beagle couldn't screw up mars express before ESA let the little lander onboard. So there would be a rather significant additional cost of getting those 31 beagles over there as well...
reminds me a bit about a BeOS bogus system call called is_computer_on_fire() which returned the temperature of the fire if the computer weas on fire, otherwise the call returned an undefined positive int!:-)
yes, but the latest region 1 DVDs will not work on multiregion DVD players unless you can manually set the player to a certain DVD. a automatic DVD player query the DVD for it's region and the new DVD's wont allow that, hence they wont play. so if you go for a multiregion player, go for one were you manually set the region before playing the disk.

umm, what use would a poor little crossfader be? you gonna need a mixer to put it in! I recommend an Allen & Heath or a Pioneer. Add two JBL stacks to that as well and you're off!
Propellerhead's Rebirth emulates the Roland 303, 808 and 909, the 2 latter are drum machines. A lot of early techno and acid house used these, hech, you can even find tunes today made with these. Amazing little machines..
they couldn't, they were in the wrong orbit to dock with the IIS. plus they didn't have enough fuel to alter their orbit. Only thing they could have done would have been to send up another shuttle, but NASA would have had to try to get a shuttle ready to fly within a *week*, a process that usually takes months. Hence they would risk loosing yet another shuttle, not good either
>The specifications probably change with each new card release
I probably wont change comnpetely between each release of a card. A lot of the work done by the cards stays the same and it would be very fooolish of NVidia to force their programmers to completely rewrite those 1.8 million lines for each card, yes, it would take us quite some time to get anything as good as NVidias drivers for their cards, but once we're up there, most canges should be incremental

um , mars got an atmosphere. It might be a bit thin, but it's there

go to gatesfoundation and look for yourself. Yes, I disagree alot with what MS does. But that doesn't make Billie boy and wife all bad.

it would have greater implications than that, oil is created by organic material, hence it would also be a proof of extraterrestial life.

>The whole freaking *world* saw that foam hit the wing, and nothing was done.
>(That they are going to tell us about)
THe shuttle have been hit many times by foam before with no problems following, hence nasa thought it would be ok this time as well
indeed! especially since they already got the trademark for winCE!
it's up there with elvis!

hey, where's the brainf*ck implementation?!
yeah, on top of that those nice meals they serve abord those planes will be really messy....
ever seen the movie Outbreak?? Monkeys can be quite lethal! :-)
