> This raises the question...has anyone actually ever had sex in space?
Nope, and for obvious reasons: a) zero gravity can induce nausea b) astronauts perspire a LOT c) in space, you experience lower blood pressure, which means reduced blood flow to you-know-where
And don't forget the lack of privacy as well as zero gravity not really being conducive to passionate (ok, ok) love-making... Unless you take a couple of rubber/elastic bands with you, I guess. But try to explain THAT to your superiors...
I'm confused by the emphasis on the word direct here. How could you be an indirect descendent of someone?
Of course. Maybe I should have put the emphasis on 'was' instead.
As far as I remember, the scientists were just looking for clues about the origins and where stunned when they realized that the girl was actually related to a 2,000 year old mummy they found (more or less) by accident.
True. I remember watching a documentation on ancient Greek stories and myths about the Amazons (no, not the company).
While trying to hunt down the Amazons origins, they visited some nomads somewhere in China (or Mongolia, can't remember where exactly) and took DNA samples of a blonde 10 or 12 year old girl with distinct Caucasian features -- although her mother had none of these whatsoever.
Lo and behold, her DNA (and her mothers!) was identical to DNA samples taken from an Amazon mummy of something like a warrior-priestess found in what is nowadays Ukraine.
Meaning, the girl was a direct descendant of that woman who lived around 2,000 years ago.
Yes, but there IS a difference between citing (and indicating that you DO cite) and selling the idea (of someone else) as your own. Kopernikus did the latter.
He did a lot of research in order to present the theory.
That is only half of the truth. He actually was kind of a copy cat, citing from Sphaera mundi (among others) written by Johannes de Sacrobosco, and presenting the ideas as his own.
One of the effects of his theft-of-thoughts is the unfortunately still common opinion that people during the so-called Dark Ages believed that Earth was flat -- they did not (the notable exception being Kosmas Indikopleustes, Laktantius and Severianus of Gabala).
Of course it does, because Camaelon is "just" a theme engine. You're supposed to install a theme and actually use it, otherwise Camaelon will default to the original NeXT'ish look.
So, use a theme that pleases you, just as you (in general) do using any other desktop environment.
What's next? Calling the sun something stupid like "Sol"?
Just in case you're not being sarcastic, as our Solar System's planets are actually named after Roman gods, the name for our Sun would be Sol just as Earth is actually called Terra.
Why on earth would 99.9% of the global population want to know what time is in other part of the world?
Some may be too lazy to "calculate" the time difference. And others simply do not know how.
I for one do have business partners all over the world and not only am I too lazy to do the math and but also too cheap to buy a couple of clocks, one for each time zone.
... our teacher in 'religious education' was also a writer on books and abstracts on religion of some renown (Arnulf Zitelmann, for those who care).
I clearly remember him saying several times: "Well, you know, I can take the Bible, close my eyes, pick any 100 pages, and use them to write a book on Science Fiction. I could also use it to write a Porn movie script."

I mean, it could be a coincidence that those things appear at the same time.

Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder -- however, theming is possible, though not really propagated.
You remember correctly, and it's already there: http://svn.gna.org/viewcvs/gnustep/tools/pbxbuild/ trunk/
Maybe, just maybe, because the majority of people in the world do use metric?

Camaelon also looks really ugly.
Of course it does, because Camaelon is "just" a theme engine. You're supposed to install a theme and actually use it, otherwise Camaelon will default to the original NeXT'ish look.
So, use a theme that pleases you, just as you (in general) do using any other desktop environment.
If they(you) want to get this product moving, they need pretty colours and components.
If you do not like the NeXT'ish look and feel that GNUstep defaults to, you're free to use themes.
The original browser (already including a built-in editor), written by Tim on a NeXT, had a real stupid name: WorldWideWeb.app ;-)
It was later renamed to Nexus.app.

he obviously isn't a unix user.
Uhm, you DO of course know that he's the overlord err head of OpenBSD, right?

mDNSResponder has been part of FreeBSD Ports since March 03, 2004.
GNUstep has had (inofficial) support of Rendezvous (as it was known back then) since quite some time before the above mentioned date.

RFC1149 was updated by RFC2549 in 1999.
For the visual information that came out of her camera, I'll gladly forgive her occasionaly poor command of the english language.
Very nice of you. But I figure her English is better than your Russian.

I was actually surprised when Eug said a gui app crash brought the whole system down. That doesn't usually happen.
Based on that statement I assume you did read her article. But did you read it, and I quote:
After hitting a few random buttons on its window to make it stop, FreeBSD would just crash and the machine would reboot.
Try that on any other OS and see what happens...
10,000 apps, but I'll bet cash the majority are command-line utilities, not desktop applications.
