You want to read where NASA is going, probably alread is, read They Shall Have Stars by James Blish ( a Star Trek author), part of the fantastic Cities in Flight series. Incidentally, Blish was also one of the people who wrote the books based on the Star Trek TV series.
Why was this modded insightful?? Presumably the moderators are as dumb as the author. The "or" before "with intent to injure or defraud" means that this is not a necessary provision, just that it may be sufficient. Learn English, people...
I remember once seeing a single file which was a valid program in a large (~20?) number of languages, including FORTRAN, PostScript and others, due to quirks of commenting, column requirements, etc. Unfortunately I lost track of it sometime ago. Does anybody else remember this? Even better, does anybody have a pointer to it?
I was one of those users who read about DWL-650, went to buy one and came back with a DWL-650+ without noticing it.
It gets worse than that: there were at least two major versions of the DWL-650 (excluding firmware revs), one with the fan-shaped antenna, and one with the square, similar to that found on the DWL-650+. Only th eone with the "fantenna" has the widely supported Prism chipset. The square one is currently available in BestBuy for $39.99 with a $20.00 mail-in rebate.
The "fantenna" ones are currently going on eBay for around $16-18 (I just brought three, and will be buying more for Linux and *BSD - even though it is dying:-) Get 'em while you can, because as soon as people realise that they are better for a lot of purposes than the square 650 and the 650+, I predict prices will rise...
Dont forget they found one of the 911 conspirators by his grocery store key thingy
I would be very careful about advocating ways to circumvent investigative techniques that are know to have led to the detention of terrorists or terrorist supporters. An unkind executive, legislative or judicial environment could easily make your life very unpleasant for this type of statement, and in Soviet Russia and/or Nazi Germany this sort of behaviour could easily lead to (and in Stalin's Russia, almost certainly WOULD have led to) execution. I know that the statement itself is devoid of malice, but not everybody would interpret it in the same way...
That is perhaps because you can only just hear the bass from the outside for the most part.
Unless, of course, the asshat in question has the windows down (45th St in Ballard, yesterday, ~2pm), or is driving a ragtop (6th Avenue, Seattle, yesterday, ~5pm). Then you get to hear all the frequencies. Don't forget that a lot of these idiots WANT you to hear how cool their musical taste is...
In a related tactic, I recall that SCO complained that IBM provided them AIX source code on CD -- but concatenated as one 800MB file per disc. True? IBM seemed to be above that...
IBM probably sent them a tarball, but they were too dumb to unpack it...
Anybody else notice that one of the senior fellows are the Alexis de Tokinville Institute is called Fossedahl?
Slightly OT, but I think that the FUD we are seeing now is really the beginning of the open, dirty and vicious phase of the war that MS and its shills will be waging on FOSS in general and Linux in particular. This is going to get *very* nasty and dirty before it settles, and all three branches of the US gummint are going to be called into play wherever possible. I really don't believe we have seen anything yet which will compare with the attacks that have been planned and are now moving into execution.
Well, if you guys think Logitech keyboards are any better (and generally they're worse to be honest), you don't know keyboards.
Sorry, this is OT, but I remember reading on/. about a truly minimalist keyboard suitable for Unix folks: can anybody point me in the right direction, please?

If you read the notes to the scripts Douglas Adams said that he was originally called something like "Phartiphukborls". This is documented here.

Naked horses != horse porn...
Horses don't normally wear clothes, you know.
You are so wrong!

I use a Mac you insensitive clod!
If you only have one button, it is the middle button...
If we demand more privacy, the cost will go up
In fact it is very well established that "loyalty" cards atually cause prices to rise rather than fall.

Yes.

No, that's the job of the politicians...

If they don't fix it in time, does this mean they'll be changing their name to Sourceforget?
No, it means they'll be changing their name to ForgeSource

Now I'm picturing a hairy-legged fairy dressed like a ballerina reaching under my pillow. The horrors!
Just be glad it's only under your pillow...
the "root two" system really works well in practice.
I especially like this system when I am in Australia...
Mos Def as Arthur Dent? where did that come from?
From your own head, apparently: according to IMDB Tim Freeman is playing Arthur Dent. Mos Def is Ford Prefect...
but people have a lot of patience if you are seriously interested in learning thier language.
Please let me know if you would like any help with English spelling.
There has to be more to this than what we know
My thoughts entirely. The first question I asked myself was WHY were the Feds raiding his house in the first place?
