this feat will likely prove to NASA and the ESA that single gigantic booster rockets are neither efficient nor as re-usable as we were all lead to believe.
I think that the reliance on large gigantic boosters is a legacy from the '50s. And that was a case of "If all you have is a hammer, then everything looks like a nail." Plus personality.
They had these huge ICBMs, that were (relatively) easily convertible, plus Von Braun was in love with huge boosters. After that, design kind of ran on inertia.
See? It's because you're an evil pirate, trying to sue SCO's code without a Linux IP License! If you pay Darl his $699, then it will magically compile properly!
No, they abandonded microcode for some of the ops, and went hardwired. Things like divide, AAM, etc... still had uCode, but basic arithmetic/load/store were hardwired. It was a hybrid.
Don't forget the worst piece of Shit EVER to come out of Intel...
The 486SL and it's companion chip (don't remember the number). Our HW guys designed some custom hardware around it, and it was buggy as hell. The ICE (necessary for BIOS development) sucked giant donkey dongs, and in general it was crap.
We couldn't find ANYONE at Intel who would admit to having worked on this turkey.
You're sure it wasn't SCSI? SCSI-1 was 50pin. And it didn't convert IDE into anything. It either used SCSI or it's own proprietary interface. The IDE/ATAPI interface for CDROM hadn't quite been developed yet.
Side note. I had one of the shortest lived technologies. A 3x SCSI NEC MultiSpin. 3x lasted about 6 minutes before it was supplanted by 4x.
Well, he's taking the right tack by searching every golf course in FL. After all, the real killer was known to have been shooting golf balls in OJ's back yard the night of the murder.

Think about it. Would you want to do a final X-Prize run without having done a few full scale test runs?
Or to put it in computer terms... Would you do a full bore OS upgrade rollout without having run it on a test network for several weeks?
OK, from now on tags will be required for the humor impaired.
The I'm sure you'll get a laugh out of it. comment referred to the fact that it uses Nitrous Oxide aka Laughing Gas as the oxidizer.
Dennis Tito paid the Russian $2 million dollars for a RIDE in a Soyuz to get to orbit.
$20 Million.

DOS Word 5.0 was good. 5.5 sucked (tried to do a character based version of WordForWindows 1.0 interface).
Was fast as hell, had styles, macros, etc... (but no macro viruses!).
Worked well on a 640K 10MHz 286. Was a little bit quirky and modal, but I liked the beast.
I had chrome issues (may have been theme related)
Had to wipe out my settings directory and reinstall.
Where were all these "free speech" advocates when the anti-war demonstrators were labeled terrorists in america?
They weren't arrested or charged. Free Speech works both ways.
Where was the "slippery slope" when Howard Stearn was fired for political speech under the guise of cleaning up the airwaves?
While reprehensible, the firing of Stern was by a private entity, not by the government. And IMHO, the FCC's "decency regulations" are a crock.

OK, it was a web form.... I don't remember exactly where I found it, though... sorry
Damn, that case looks like something out of Brazil!
Try LA Daily News.
On top of that, the LA Times website is the most useless thing I've ever seen.

You haven't been upgraded yet then. I'm showing 2GB... haven't noticed ads one way or the other (Thanks, Mozilla!)
I sent Yahoo tech support an email asking if they'd updated their bot scripts or something.... I guess they did.

I got bit by this one.
I apparently was 2GB over my MINUS 2GB limit.

You missed the OP's point. He said that "moving the Moon to Mars" is pointless.
The Tooth Fairy and Santa *ARE* Senior Developers. Linus himself said so!
It's called "Shorting". And ISTR that NASDAQ rules prevent shorting a stock when it's below 5.
Plus, there are no shortable shares available.

They're charging me for calls from 7PM to 9PM, but I thought they'd changed that.
