1. All pilots on International flights use English to converse with flight controllers in countries that do not speak the pilots native language.
2. We won WW2 [of course, with some help:)]
3. We've been to the moon.

I don't like it, sir. Question authority. I don't trust ANY government official. Especially congressmen. Is this REALLY what the 'founding fathers' envisioned? I think not. I don't think they wanted career congressmen at all. It was supposed to be for the people, by the people. Oh, well, it'll fall soon anyway. And when it does, I'm moving north....
Well, sorta... This Report
states that in Colorado, during the years 1969-1971, Project Rulison, tried to stimulate natural gas production. In 1969, a 43 kiloton fission-type nuclear device was detonated at a depth of 8,426 feet, on Colorado's western slope.
ahhh, it's bound to happen. FUD, from all sources, and every side, "battling" the "OS Wars". I suppose there's a place for every OS out there, even DR. DOS. If the shoe fits... wear it. Why does this war of words have to continue? Isn't there enough war in the world anyway? I'm so tired of "My OS can beat up yours". If I can complete the job using whatever OS I choose, why should it matter? If I had a job that DIDN'T allow me that choice, I would walk... Now, on the other hand, if you are a company developing Windows software, I could understand. It might be hard to get the command nmake to run on FreeBSD.
I agree. They are jumping to conclusions here. I read another story (url unavailable to memory), that said this exact same thing. Salt in not impermiable like rock, so the bacteria, could have seeped into the salt in water. In fact, I'd be suprised if it WASN'T contaminated at a later time. A few hundred million years is a LONG time for contamination to take place.
I'd hate to be the one paying for alpha testing. That might get expensive. Especially if they use Windows. Image a crash to cost hundreds of thousands of dollars..
I write code JUST to see my name at Freshmeat. Whata crock of poo. Go away Serge Egelman, and leave us open source programmers alone. I think I'll start working on a new text edit for linux, called the Egelman Editor (EE). It'll have the exact SAME functions as every other editor out there. (except notepad).
it was 1984, and laptops were the size of todays desktops, and they were known as portables, but weighed alot, I suppose. The Mac was the new rage. Ethernet.. huh? Internet... wha???? I love Marquette, MI (lived there for a few years- still have hippy friends there....I'll be back..'der, eh?..) the University was best in the summer, when the students went back across the bridge, and the pathways were clear to bike as fast as I could.....except for an occasional goose.
and the Lake... ahhhhh.. nothing better.....
On March 9, 1933, Franklin Delano Roosevelt presented an ACT in a special session of congress, asking that they give him what is known as WAR AND EMERGENCY POWERS. According to this report:
In 1973, in Senate Report 93-549 (Exhibit 10), the first sentence reads: "Since March the 9th, 1933, the United States has been in a state of declared national emergency."
To this day, no president has ever repeled, terminated or amended this act. It remains in effect today, and basically suspends the constitution as it is known, giving overbroad powers to the government. If you were elected president, would you be the one to FINALLY terminate this ACT, and bring back the constitution of the United States?

Echelon: Display approximately unknown
Ilka Schroeder, member of the European parliament, refunded o'clock on
today's Monday at 10.00 with the Chief Federal Prosecutor, with the public
prosecutor's office trusting stone and with the public prosecutor's office
Berlin display against Echelon. The display was issued against " unknown
suspects in particular from the USA and Great Britain as well as if necessary
the German Federal Government because of operation and tolerating the
espionage system ECHELON ".
Schroeder appoints itself thereby to reports of Duncan Campbell and article
in Telepolis. The legal lever it sets with the Chief Federal Prosecutor with its
competence for the pursuit of certain offences against the patent -, for
semiconductor law for the protection and utility model. Schroeder assumes
in its charge, which is present Telepolis that " these regulations become
obviously hurt by the described restaurant espionage activity of the suspects ".
How Schroeder said this morning opposite Telepolis, she wants to lift the
discussion with the charge " over Echelon on another political level ". Since
passed week the taking place investigation in the " not-constant committee "
of the European parliament is " too little zielorientiert".(Christiane Schulzki

The point of any scientific expedition is to learn. I am sure that there are scientific, civilian, and military uses for this outpost. They aren't idiots, you know. They aren't there just because it's fun to do. and yes, (as some other poster asked) they have email, and internet access, printer problems, and even windows BSOD. (shoulda used linux as the print server, I guess, Houston)
The Music Industry (TMI), is afraid of losing control of distributions. What they aren't realizing is, Napster is a way for them to make more money. They are worried about losing control, just like they were for radio, the vinyl record album, the tape recorder, then the video recorder, digital tape recorder, and now digital. Every step along the way, they produced some excuse on how, in the consumer's hands, would mean the end of TMI, which got its start in publishing music printed on paper. When Napster comes up with a solid means of revenue, (if they don't blow it), it would mean independent artists, and independent distributors, are more on an even keel with the big 3, or is it 4.
It hasn't stopped growing since. Today the Napster community numbers over thirty-two million; for the past four months, it has been growing at the rate of one million new users each week. Now, if they shut down Napster, not all of those said 23 million users would rebel, but a good lot of them would, and have already.
The way I see it is Napster, and especially streamed mp3's, are the radio broadcasting of the new millenium. and Lars, when you read this, I see you sitting up on your mighty drum riser, with your mighty record company. We may use the same headphones, but I am the one down here, in the band, playing at the corner bar, breathing much more cigarette smoke than I care too, standing on a stage that barely fits the guitar amps. Remember what its like to be without money, not being able to feed oneself, cause the drunks sitting at the bar, are too drunk to notice the tip jar? Ending the night, owing the bartender more money than you made. Rolling up your own beer stained guitar cords, and mic cables.
If you and your mighty attorney's manage to kill Napster, will be keeping the status quo, as it grows into one big behemoth AOL-TimeWarner media megalopolis. Yes, the future with Napster may be scary to you now, but wait till the $$ starts flowing in.
I want equal access to the 'airwaves', and to the distribution channels. Napster SHOULD be the way to get it. Now get out of the way, Lars, because I will kick over your drum set on my way out.
Drugs are great. For me, tho' it's coffee, pot and wine. In my younger days, well... heh... I did ALOT.
There's a time and place for everything. I couldn't imagine smoking pot at work, cause I would just want to get the hell out of there. Coffee tho. I couldn't imagine writing code without it. Cocaine is also fun, but it's too easy to let it get out of hand, and become a problem. The problem with America is that nobody is taking responsibility for themselves. They smoke a pack a day for 40 years, get lung cancer, and then sue the cigarette companies. They deserve to be dead. Nature is like that, survival of the fittest.
You can't really remove IE totally from your computer, as there are shared library files that must exist for you to even boot. Some of those functions are still there after 'removing' IE. Ready for any VBscript to exploit.
well,now. If everybody ignores a law, it is no longer a law.The GPL has NEVER been held up in a court of law, so no one really knows if it IS legal anyway.
No, TrollTech released QT under two licenses- GPL or QPL, you have a choice. Borland probaby paid for the license, and will most likely use the QPL. Also, you can release proprietary code with GPL code in it, as long as you make available the changes to the GPL's code.
What the hell are you talking about? I seem to remember just a second ago, looking at QT's code, and not having to pay a dime. Anyone can download it. for free. free is free.
You seem to forget that the US is HUGE compared to the UK. It takes a few DAYS of constant driving 65 mph to get from one coast to the other. It takes a few HOURS to FLY in a jet to do the same.and thats not counting Alaska and Hawaii. Alaska in itself is 1/3 the size of the contiguous US. national code?- ya right.

I had no problems accessing ftp.kde.org... took about 15- 20 minutes to download all of it. Thanks goodness for DSL!!!!
I just downloaded beta2 just this morning.... good thing I haven't had the chance to compile anything, otherwise, I'd be PISSED!!!!
