NASA used Ion propusion in their Deep Space 1 craft, and used it to take pictures of an asteroid, back in 1998.
Maybe new for Europe, but it's been tried and tested already.
Exactly. Many of us don't like that commercialized crap that the RIAA spends loads advertising on. Personally, I listen to apocolyptic folk, al la Current 93, and Death In June. The RIAA has no hand in either of those bands AFAIK, or any of the other music that I listen to. I shouldn't have to pay good money to my ISP for the RIAA to advertize Britney Spears, or the Backstreet Boys when both sicken me. And BTW, I do buy albums for bands that I support.
...but things turned out just a bit differently. As a former AOL employee, I can tell you that while it started out with AOL taking over Time Warner,it's slowly started to turn around. How many former Time Warner executives now work for AOL? Quite few, yet for some reason, very, very few of the former AOL execs, now work for TW.
Actually, when I was still on a dial up connection, and running a Lucent WinModem, I downloaded the driver for Linux, which when I unzipped the file, all I had to do was run a script. No recomiling the kernel. No arcane configurations. It even created a symlink to/dev/modem for me, so KPPP didn't have to do anything different.
I sincerely hope your joking, but just in case your not: No. The Commodore 64 was a computer developed in the late 70's , but the 64 in it's name came from the amount of RAM that it had (64K). Was a pretty good machine for it's time, and was a blast to program on.
Actually, the Lycoris distrobution includes an installed that IMHO is at least as easy to install as many games. And youcan play solitare while you install it. Too bad the distro itself is unstable though.
How did this guy get modded "troll"? Man, you make some damned fine points in your argument. It's the reason me, and most of the Linux users have a dual-boot set up. ====
There are probably some out there who are helpless, but there are also some out there who will RTFM, and teach theirself netware if their job's important to them. ====
I remember downloading this a month ago and trying it out. Seems to be everything that BeOS was supposed to be. It even comes with a decent MP3 player. ====
Your luckier than I am then. Windows is good most of the time, but there is software that I can't run under ME (Such as Unreal) because of the brain-damaged Voodoo3 driver that I have, that are supposidly MS certified (and yes, it's the latest version.) I also get blue screens, though I'll admit, they're not as bad as they were in Windows 95, though they're worse than Windows 98 SE.
Slashdot Mirror
Several major Hollywood studios have offered alternatives that allow people to rent movies online. In fact slashdot has ran a story about them before.

Excellent Office Space reference. I wish I had mod points so I could mod you up.

Excellent beavis and butthead "cornholio" reference!

Dell offers 2000 as well. When I got a laptop, it came installed by default.
Yeah, but they're not as anal about the "Minix" tademark as Microsoft is about Windows. It's their main source of income after all.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks so!

Or Ultima 9 for that matter. Ultima 7 was the pinnacle of Ultima games IMHO.

Actually, RP7 works fine in linux. If he doesn't have it, it's probably because he doesn't want it for one reason or another.

Go to your preferences, and you can take the images, and other stuff out, and just get news. I have not problem reading it that way in lynx.
go to properties for the command line window in WinNT/2k. For bash, it's the tab key.
They've finally found something more stupid, and with less ground in courts than one-click-shopping.
They did the same thing in Win95. I learned this the first time I had to re-install 95 on my dual boot system
I don't know about that. With the same drivers, Win ME couldn't run some games, that Win 98 SE would run, such as Unreal
Agreed. After using Redhack for 2 years, and trying out other distrobutions (Debian, Turbolinux (YUCK!!!!!!), and Slackware), I agree that SuSE ROCKS!
