what's needed for a mars flight is a waypoint station in earth's orbit. Mir could not have possibly made a decent waypoint station for spacecraft because of its size.
and to think that a mars mission is only a fraction of what the ISS is all about, sheesh.
c'mon folks, the problem needs to be stopped at the source. we need to discourage internet companies from selling our email addresses when we sign up for one of their services.
if you have your own domain and mail server, do this: if signing up for a efoto.com account, make a efoto@yourdomain.com email alias. when getting spam, examine the full email header. if efoto@yourdomain is listed there, then you know efoto.com sold you out. you might want to see if they violated any contract you agreed with regarding privacy issues. GIVE THEM HELL.
also, doing this also protects your real email address. if you start getting tons and spam sent to efoto@yourdomain, just kill the alias.
only give out your real email address to friends and family and tell them NOT TO FUCKING GIVE YOUR ADDRESS TO INTERNET GREETING CARD COMPANIES DAMMIT!
all this 'quiz' attempts to prove is attention to detail and patience. it has nothing to do with logical thinking or intelligence. if you quiz was to determine intelligence, then the quiz would not even mention the deaf/mute at all and simply ask how a blind man would ask for scissors.
i'm the sysadmin for a group of developers. we all run redhat 8.0 and i want to stay with.rpm packages that utilize standard redhat 8.0 libraries. we usually use RHN (RedHat Network) for keeping our packages up to date, but i have a feeling it's going to be a long, long time before Redhat incorporates this new Evolution into their package list.
anyone have any ideas what i can do to get this new Evolution running on our Redhat 8.0 machines without having to deviate from our current upgrade strategy?
the US and the rest of the world hasn't been to the moon since because there's no reason to go back! we hauled enough space rocks and materials back to conduct all the analysis of the moon surface we could want.
why not build a lab there? it's too far away and landing and taking off from the moon is complicated and can be prone to error. what's the point of being on the moon surface if you can put a space lab into earth orbit instead? ISS to the rescue!
right now, the moon doesn't offer humankind anything other than a gee whiz factor. perhaps in the future it will be used for something!
yes, patches makes life easier when upgrading, but how about when you put a new system together. geez, now you gotta download patch on top of patch to get it all fixed up. don't forget one!
i like the fact that when i download the latest mozilla, that's it! nothing more to do than install and go.

i don't know about that, Bruce. i follow MS PR closely, and this document seems to fall exactly in the right place. except for the twisted logic, everything in the document appears true (what marketing tactics fail, etc).
winning the TCO argument is not just something mentioned in this document, it's what MS is really trying to do right now. the TCO argument is a win/win for MS if they can pull it off.
French respondents exhibited a strong anti-Microsoft sentiment as sixty-one percent (61%) stated that 'an alternative to Microsoft' was the most compelling reason to support OSS.
french people? exhibiting a strong anti-anything-not-french sentiment?
hey, um, you didn't happen to see the masscare of the jews, did you? WW2? no? guess that didn't happen either, you ignorant fuck. this guy must be a troll. no one can be this stupid.
The bundling never changed. What changed was that IE got better and better and Netscape sat on their collective asses and whined about how unfair it was that they weren't guaranteed market share.
how the hell can this parent get a +3 insightful? the poster doesn't appear to have a clue as to what happened during the period of 1994-1997. it's posters like this that attempt to rewrite history with ignorant comments such as this. what's next? oh that's right.. WW2 didn't happen, hitler is a hero and the moon landing was a hoax.. sheesh
one thing that i am so used to, is being able to cut a URL from somewhere and middle mouse button click on my web browser to launch it. mozilla and galeon has had this functionality for a long time now, but it appears that Phoenix is missing it. I also noticed that Galeon2 is missing it as well (although it is currently alpha).
is middle mouse button URL launching popular with anyone else?
our entire development department and company backend is 100 percent linux (mostly RedHat). we just hired a new developer whose laptop is running OSX. since he was going to be a remote user, he attempted to get his laptop up to speed with the necessary compilers, python modules and other development pieces. after two days, he gave up in frustration, went to the nearest CompUSA, bought a new laptop and installed RedHat 8.0.
now, he is a happy, development camper.
now, i don't know much about OSX. so my question is, can OSX easily be used as a competent developer platform?
what about mounting a cam on a remote control airplane, you know one of the one's that can do like 70 miles an hour. imagine how fun that would be! you could have your car passenger search ahead for speed traps on the freeway or you could even fly the plane to the point where you lose sight of it.
ooh, with that right transmission control, one could fly drugs up from south america on a drone aircraft..
keep in mind that the evolution team is hard at work porting evolution to GTK2. it will be sometime before they will have 'free time' to start porting to other platforms.
i mean, if the US government stops using microsoft, then why should any other country in the world use it?
microsoft will be sure to have their influence entrenched deep in the american government system, even if it means they have to give the software and support away.

sometimes a +5 funny just isn't enough. maybe there can be a supplement +5 "tears present" rating or something...

yep, i sure did.

quoted here from this excellent moon landing site web page :
"seeing one of the lunar rovers from Earth would be like trying to see a grain of sand on a beach while flying high overhead in a jet airliner!"
well lets hope the operating system runs better than on the T68 series. that OS was a cludgy slow POS.

This should clear up any misconceptions you might have regarding the Americans landing on the moon
please read and comment.
Sibrel asked that assault charges be filed, but Los Angeles County prosecutors declined.
