In any event, this news item shows that once again, the private sector has done it smaller, faster, and cheaper than those bureaucratic zeebs at NASA.
Actually, this news item shows that the bureaucratic zeebs are the ones who did it:

The fact that you keep posting this comment seems to imply that you think that non-interactive streams will be free.
You're correct that there's no reproduction licenses or distribution licenses for non-interactive streaming.
But that leaves the $0.0019 per user/per song royalty (with a $500 minimum per year per station)
Specifically, here's the rates broken down by year:
a per play rate of $.0008 for 2006,
a per play rate of $.0011 for 2007,
a per play rate of $.0014 for 2008,
a per play rate of $.0018 for 2009,
and a per play rate of $.0019 for 2010

The problem with touchscreen is that it only can do left-clicks, no right clicks.
Not necessarily true - many touchpad applications use a double-tap method:
Tap once, then tap again to the left or right of the first tap to emulate a left or right click. After just a few times getting used to it, it becomes very intuitive.
And the really bad thing is this... they have a service called "Account Manager" where they moved some of my register.com accounts I purchased through partners.
AM has the locking feature. But they won't move the domains I purchased directly through Register.com to AM - they say it's only for domains purchased through partners.
But that's not the point - the conclusion point the parent made was "I can't believe how much easier workstation admin is now that we use Linux."
But the situation outlined would have been identically easy using the appropriate Windows tools.
Mind you, I'm replying from Firefox running on a Dell Laptop loaded with Fedora Core 2, so I'm not biased either way. I'm just saying, you can't claim it's easier to rebuild a Linux workstation vs. a Windows workstation if you use imaging or other similar technology.
Security, cost, etc are a whole different discussion.
"Stacy" at the Register.com LivePerson chat just told me this:
I am sorry to inform you that the domain transfer request will be approved within 5 days if you fail to respond to the confirmation email. Register.com may provide the facility of locking domain names in the near future.
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson will also appear as Sarge, the head space marine, but Callaham warns, "He is not going to be smiling a whole bunch. You won't see him raise his left eyebrow."
This movie is bound to be good - The Rock only accepts scripts of the highest quality.

SUSE 9.2 Released
·
· Score: 3, Informative
... which everyone would know, if they only RTFA...
"Novell today announced the November availability of SUSE® LINUX Professional 9.2, providing Linux newcomers and enthusiasts with the latest advancements in open source technology.
Plus, we see he was going "high tech": "The episode pages are being updated and enhanced. Most of the first and second season episodes are now available as DivX-encoded AVI files."
Originally posted by The I Shing That's what Adam McGaughey did wrong... rather than just watch a TV show and enjoy it silently in the comfort of his home, he put a website telling about how much he enjoys the TV show, and included information about it, and helped to organize fandom of the show, which the FBI considers a no-no.
Ummm - no - what he did was host.zip archives of the copyrighted cable show which the FBI considers a no-no.
The GPL is REALLY clear on this, but most people aren't.
Here's what they say:
"Many people believe that the spirit of the GNU project is that you should not charge money for distributing copies of software, or that you should charge as little as possible -- just enough to cover the cost.
If you plan on becoming a hard-core player, I think the opposite is true... if you're not there from the begining, you're at a disadvantage. The strategy guides (if you're into such things) only apply to the way things are at first - they don't keep with the balance issues. So joining in months later means you're not working with valid information. If you're interested in tradecraft, there's a definate advantage to starting when the game starts... say it takes 2 months to become a "master" of a few skills... those starting at the begining will become the popular merchants of crafted items. With things like housing, those on the system early will have a better chance of getting the necessary money, and their pick of "good spots".
I don't know of anyone who plays MMORG's who would say you could start playing any time and be on a "level playing field."
Comcast's program guide is hard to read, and worst of all, has HUGE advertisements that take up half the screen or more!! It's barely usable. It's just a channel with a scrolling loop. DirecTV's is actually an interactive program guide which is layered on top of whatever channel you're watching, it has _days_ of programming. See if you can find someone who has it and try it out- you won't need a TV guide ever again.
Just to be clear - this is only true of Comcast's non-digital cable. Comcast digital cable has exactly as you specify above - multiple days, no ads, interactive, and you still watch your current channel while browsing the guide.

The proceeds of which you'd have to pay income tax on, of course.
What in the parent post would make you reply with "You Hate BitTorrent"? He was talking about FM radio and Bush.
I mean, we know it's Beta, but maybe take a new shot that's not putting down your hard work?
Exactly what I told her!
... they have a service called "Account Manager" where they moved some of my register.com accounts I purchased through partners.
...
And the really bad thing is this
AM has the locking feature. But they won't move the domains I purchased directly through Register.com to AM - they say it's only for domains purchased through partners.
So goodbye, Register.com

How is this different from using Ghost (or free alternatives), authenticating to a Windows domain, with their data on a network share?
It would have been exactly the same outcome.

Ummm - no - what he did was host

"Many people believe that the spirit of the GNU project is that you should not charge money for distributing copies of software, or that you should charge as little as possible -- just enough to cover the cost.
Actually we encourage people who redistribute free software to charge as much as they wish or can." (emphasis is mine)
From: http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/selling.html
So that's why the wording is vague on what you can charge - they have absolutely no limit on it.
(My point being the hardware necessary for mirror lock is in the 300D already, just needs to be activated).

More likely it's opposed to urban England. You have rural areas, and urban areas. "Downtown" is a child of "urban".

The summary says:
"I may have invented it, but Bill made it famous," Bradley said.
Reading the article, he says:
"I may have invented control-alt-delete, but Bill Gates made it really famous."
When you remove and change words in a quote, can you get away with saying "Bradley said" after it?
Or better yet, for you? (You know, like when you're sleeping, or at work, etc
