  1. Re:Not to rain on the parade, but... on E17 Available From CVS · · Score: 2, Informative

    That is not true. It hasn't been for a while. While a restart *does* restart the cache, e16 has been able to reload the bg cache without a restart for a while now. (there's a menu option for it, and you can even do it from a shell with IPC)

    Where do you see that on the site? That most likely needs to be changed.

    And besides, that's refering to e16, not e17.

  2. Re:Ooooooooh well... on Amateur Rocket Reaches Space · · Score: 2, Informative

    Except they had a valid launch license. :)

    Oh, and the fact that there were FAA personal *on site* monitoring the launch (and giving final approval).

  3. Re:Okay, it's officially time... on Amateur Rocket to Carry Ham Radio Payload to Space · · Score: 1

    Silly me.

    I must correct myself. They aren't actually going into orbit. :)

    They're only going to the edge of space and back.

    In this instance they mean amateur being "without government funding". NASA is *definately* government funded. :)

  5. Re:Why? on Amateur Rocket to Carry Ham Radio Payload to Space · · Score: 1

    This launch isn't about the ham gear on board. It's about being the first civilian space launch. The ham radio gear is just for tracking the rocket, as well as a few other fun things (like live amateur TV broadcast)

    They've already had a few suborbital launches. This is their first orbital vehicle. (Second attempt :)

  7. Re:Boxers, Briefs and... on Georgy Tells Why She Should Be California Gov · · Score: 1

    She does have dangly bits. They're just a bit higher.

  8. Re:Why do I feel somehow let down? on Linus Talks About 2.4 · · Score: 1

    You are nuts. Quite nuts.

    Happy? ;-)

    But look at it this way. You can always start work on patches for the 2.4.1 release if you want. ;-)

  9. Re:Where is everyone? on Diablo 2 Finally Hits Shelves · · Score: 1

    Yea, sorry, I was out shopping. No worries though, I'm back! (yea, this is my first post, so sue me ;-) Just to tie this post in with the subject..... I forgot to preorder! (ok, so I'm lazy, sue me again)
