Your numbers for the Space Shuttle are misleading in comparison to the others.
No they're not, they're the whole point about what's wrong with the shuttle. If your job is to put things into orbit don't take bloody wings with you - it's a waste of payload.
100 tons to LEO is nice, it's a pity 70% of it is useless.
No, if you chdir to/home/test/root, then chroot to/home/test/root, then chdir to.. you'll still be in/home/test/root.
From man 2 chroot:
The.. entry in the root directory is interpreted to mean the root
directory itself. Thus,.. cannot be used to access files outside the
subtree rooted at the root directory.
How root gets out of a chroot is:
make, or find, a directory under the current chroot
chroot there, but don't chdir there
now ".." in the old chroot is its real parent, not itself.
Of course DJB was suggesting that you drop root privs immediately after the chroot, so this is moot.
You're excluding, of course, the cases that are currently in the judical system.
Am I? In what cases currently in the judicial system were "bomb arsenals" found?
But I'll ask you this: when it comes to people preparing to blow up themselves and others to make a point, one is plenty enough, isn't it?
So when you said "plenty of people" you meant "one group". Ah.
I'm curious: if you were in charge of things then how would you run things? Would you just wait for people to be blown up and then pick up the pieces?
Looking at the list of absurd "plots" that have been aborted, the one real plot that worked, and the two idiot plots that failed, I'd say there isn't much chance of many people being blown up. We've seen worse, we got over it, no reason to panic.
2003 5 January: Wood Green ricin plot where police arrested six Algerian men accused of manufacturing ricin to use for a poison attack on the London underground. No trace of the poison was actually found [12][13], and all men were acquitted except for one who stabbed a police officer during his arrest in Manchester several days later[14]. [No bombs here, move along please]
2003 October: Andrew Rowe arrested in Dover after being detained as he entered the Channel Tunnel in France. [8] Convicted as a "global terrorist" and sentenced to 15 years in prison on September 23, 2005 on the basis of traces of explosives on a pair of socks and a code translation book. [9] [10] ["The jury could not reach a verdict on the socks, and prosecutors decided not to seek a retrial."]
2004 30 March: Seven men arrested in West Sussex in possession of 600 kg of ammonium nitrate fertilizer as part of Operation Crevice. [This is it, the one case where people were arrested with something that probably was intended to be a bomb. Of course the cretins didn't have an idea what do bomb. I think their other plan "Plotting to poison football crowds by selling spiked drinks at matches, and sell poisoned food from a takeaway restaurant." sounds more likely to succeed.]
2004 3 August: Fourteen men arrested, but only eight charged in relation to the 2004 Financial buildings plot following the leak of the identity of a Al-Qaeda double-agent. The men possessed detailed plans for attacking financial buildings in the US, but no actual bomb making equipment. The leader, Dhiren Barot, pleaded guilty at his trial on 12 October 2006 and was convicted to life imprisonment.
2004 24 September: Four men arrested in the Holiday Inn in Brent Cross trying to buy red mercury, a mythical substance which could purportedly be used to construct a nuclear bomb, from a newspaper reporter. [11] One man was released three days later [12], while the other three were cleared at their trial on 25 July 2006 [13], during which the jury was told that "whether red mercury does or does not exist is irrelevant". [14] [Red mercury! It is to laugh!]
2005 22 July: The Metropolitan Police tracked Jean Charles de Menezes onto a train and shot him seven times in the head at close range because they thought he was a suicide bomber.
2005 28 July: David Mery arrested at Southwark tube station on suspicion of terrorism for wearing a jacket "too warm for the season" and carrying a bulky rucksack. All charges were dropped on August 31. [15]
2005 28 September: Walter Wolfgang was ejected from the Labour Party Conference under the Terrorism Act 2000.
2005 22 December: Abu Bakr Mansha, described by his barrister as an "utter incompetent" was accused of planning to murder a British soldier who had served in the Iraq War and convicted under the Terrorism Act for possessing a document that was "likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism." He was sentenced to 6 years.
2006 2 June: The 2 June 2006 Forest Gate raid on a house in Forest Gate saw the arrest of two suspects, one whom was shot in the shoulder, on charges of conspiring to release a chemical weapon in the form of suicide vest. No traces of poisonous chemicals or a terrorist intent were found with the suspects, who were released days later.
2006 10 August: The 2006 transatlantic aircraft plot to blow up 10 planes flying from Heathrow saw the arrest of 24 people from their homes in Britain, chaos at the airports as security measures were put in place, and numerous high level statements from US and
legally, your rights are granted to you by the royal family
Untrue. If you had read the article you give a link to you will find:
In particular, the British monarch does not have the power to deprive an individual of his or her life, liberty or property as these rights are said to derive from the Fundamental Laws of England.

Is that not what I just said?

Uh, if the directory is empty where can you "chroot down" to?
This is some kind of HP "all in one".
What distribution are you using? What version of hplip?
Kooka is some KDE thingy?
The defaults are what?
What happens with scanimage? Xsane?
What program? What scanner? What parameters?
Oh, really?
Dunno, you can suppress your gag reflex, right?
I wish you hadn't posted that link. I've never read it, but even being reminded of it's existence makes me feel ill.
When I went to the horrible damp spot on the plains of East Anglia it was called UEA.
Nah, lack of respect wasn't the problem - it was that everybody knew the French were right.
You may dislike someone who disagrees with you.
You will hate someone who disagrees with you who you know is right.
The original claim was:This is simply a lie.
The "terrorist threat" is clearly real. It is also clearly exaggerated.
Uh, Copenhagen != Many worlds.
If you thing many worlds is "bollox"(sic) then you either believe in Copenhagen or some even wierder rubbish.
Many worlds is the least strange interpretation of QM.
Plenty of people? Like how many?

Yeah, but I have "always show link domains" and I didn't see 'em on your two links to google. Weird.
Now they're back again - looks like a slashdot glitch.
Fonero teamed up with Neuf Telecom to do more or less the same deal.

Ah yes. Willing to give his life.
Like Mohamed Atta and his pals?
