That is what is confusing me, why don't they just update Saturn? They know it works, it has a decent track record, it can carry the load. After all, we are talking about the rocket, not actual capsule. At the very least, (as you state) it would have made more sense to START with the Saturn V and move forward.
I will be so fucking glad when the elections are over so all the fanboys of whatever political party can go back to myspace, or whereever they came from, and leave slashdot and wikipedia alone.
Finally, someone who can see that it is CLEARLY CREATIONISM.
Everything Will Wright is creationism, that is the idea. God games, and you get to be god. Simcity 1/2/3/4, Simearth, The Sims, now Spore. You can be an evil god (In sims, put someone in a room, remove the door, they die eventually. Better yet, in the kitchen and catch it on fire.) or be a good god (yawn). But it is all creationism. That this game is too really isn't a revelation. You are just starting a few million years earlier.
If anything, the current economic downturn will INCREASE participation in "free" projects. People have a need to feel "needed" and to actually accomplish things. Our jobs fill part of this need, and those who don't have jobs will feel a greater need for fulfillment. Not having a job does tend to create more free time, after all, and sometimes the networking that you get from participating in a free project can help you find work.
After the hardware, start with software: DOS, Win'98se, Win2000, WinXP at least. Then Linux (drivers for almost any filing system) and, i kid you not, FreeBSD (very good drivers for obscure hardware, especially backup hardware).
you can install all the operating systems as virtual machines, but what would you use as the primary OS?
If this passed, it would be time for pitchforks and torches. Now you see why so many people are pro 2nd amendment (right to own guns) in the USA. To protect us from our own government.
Where does the "H" come from? CO2 has no Hydrogene atom, the smallest hydrocarbon is methane. CH4 or CH3 with another atom. You always need a source for the H atoms.
It comes from water. Unfortunately, the process of cracking the hydrogen out of the water causes the free oxygen to combine with the freshly liberated carbon atoms, but this is something they will surely work out after they have enough venture capital.
Bingo! One classic example for me was two weeks ago. A friends computer was trashed from spyware. It was easier to just wipe it and reinstall. He didn't have the original Compaq disk (computer from 2003). I used another genuine OEM disk. After installing, it wouldn't authenticate itself. So I have to get ahold of Microsoft....
I tried the online service, which failed. I used the online chat with the service rep (jerk), who told me that in order to use a different disk, I had to pay $99 to relicense the computer. That it had the license tag, fully intact, didn't matter. Or I could call Compaq and buy a new install disk, and wait a few weeks for it to arrive. In the end, I had to call the 888 number, gave it the 200 digit number (good god...) and it passed just fine.
Over 30 minutes wasted on a legally licensed machine because they wanted to charge me another 99 bucks. It would have been easier to pirate a copy. Even easier to use an OS that doesn't have draconian licensing. It isn't a matter of MONEY, (already paid for). It is a matter of my TIME.
I was treated like a pirate for simply trying to do what should be a simple and common thing: reinstall an operating system in a legal manner.
I rather miss using USENET, although it has become less useful over the last few years due to the spam and flood of binary files (which are useful by themselves...). The conversations in a newsgroup is much higher caliber than you find in forums, mainly due to the fact that most people would actually THINK before writing, knowing that someone isn't going to read it 5 seconds later. It is more like the BBS forums of yesteryear, which of course, were born of USENET itself and often a part of.
I wouldn't be shocked if a few years down the line, there comes a reason for people to start using USENET more often, seeking better quality conversation. The primary problem now is that a web browser isn't a very good platform to read USENET posts, what we need is a better app or an overhaul of the system to make it more useable. Agent and other apps are ok, but mainly for binaries. USENET was basically the first use for the internet and hasn't changed any since then.
Why not just DOS, such as FreeDOS and any text editor to begin with? The entire operating system and editor fits on a floppy disk and takes about 10 seconds to install. I love using linux, but for this task, even the most stripped version would be bloated.
Still means you might have failures somewhat clustered. I would opt for an option that used a RAID 1 and a traditional hard drive, with slower sync times, for reliability and price. Still gives you insanely fast reads, still gives you faster writes to the primary drive It is just slower for the mechanical to catchup, which doesn't affect actual performance since that is done on the raid card, not the system. Since most boxen are no 100% busy all the time (and should be expanded if they are) this would work to add redundancy at a lower price point.
The problem is that the bug is in Redhats OWN compilation. If you compile from source, you don't get the problem. RH themselves is the problem, which they refuse to fix. Regardless of what support you get, you would expect a properly compiled Perl that doesn't run at 1% of speed.
I think the actual bitch is the fact that RH has known about the bug for most of a year and hasn't fixed it. RH==CentOS for the binaries, and he doesn't expect CentOS to fix the bug, but is instead surprised that RH, who does get paid for this, hasn't fix the problem.
I just swapped over my first server from OLD RH to CentOS, that that would explain the perl performance. I am shocked that RH hasn't fixed it (my reason for leaving RH goes back many years). They don't owe ME (or the original author) anything, but they DO owe their own customers. Me, I will just compile Perl from source and install it in a different path, no biggie.
You heard? Well, a source like that must be right.
I think you are confused because Alaska law simply allows firing someone for political reasons (which isn't a good law), and that was a reason a lawsuit was thrown out, ie: "even if she DID fire you for political reasons, that is legal". Most of the people she has put the heat on simply resigned, then paid fines for corruption.

Photosynthesis?
Boring. Besides, their method has towers and cooling tanks and a machine that goes "BING!!!"

And come winter, the gorillas will just freeze to death. Problem solved.
Besides, everyone knows that BMW stands for "Bite My Wiennie", which describes the entire attitude of the drivers.
Funny, she was just asked which port she is supposed to stuff her husband into...
..how this would handle a goatse pic.
About the same as 20 gallons of Preparation H.
Ever since Microsoft patented ones and zeros, formatting them is much harder...

why cut'n'paste when you can just memorize the ASCII string and easily type it directly at the telnet?
Ok, now THAT is funny!
The "read" version is definitely more common, though, for some reason.
Most computers spend more time reading than writing. I know this is insanely simple, but that is why you see more read errors.

Bullshit. Some things are definitely not bigger in Texas...
Obviously, the sense of humor is bigger than whereever you are.
