Well I was thinking you can illustrate that not only is market share for IE going down because of things like Firefox, and people switching to other browsers, but the platforms that IE used to run are also no longer being supported. e.g. Solaris, HP-UX, Mac OS[0]. Not only that but whatever features they are considering that "require" IE will probably alienate a large section of Windows users as well.
[0]Well, sorta. You can still get it, AND it comes pre-installed in OS X, but when was the last update to it? Is the bug (err feature) that are thinking of implementing require the Windows version of IE? probably.
Technically it's not, but NASA called it a podcast. NASA does supply an RSS feed for podcasting though. Just search "NASA" in the podcasting thingy of iTunes. They're all pretty short, around 5 minutes.
How about this one. The shuttle has an average death rate of 1 person for every 2-ish years of flight, while all of Gemin-Apollo (I'm only counting manned missions here) had (counting the fire on the pad) somewhere around 1 person for 3-4-ish years.
see? I can make meaningless figues too!;)
I agree that there's not enough data to make anything meaningful
I do however think that overall the shuttle is probably safer. I don't think that doesn't mean things shouldn't change though. If there's a known flaw, that can be fixed *relati vely* cheaply why not fix it?
He did in "in space" which I'll take to mean anytime in flight. Although you are right about the Apollo I fire, NASA also took the exact same approach to that as they are now. Apollo II was completely redesigned from the ground up. It only resembled Apollo I. It had the same mission moiker but was not the same spacecraft.
107 Shuttle flights, 17 Apollo with 7 attempts to the moon (6 successes). In flight Apollo deaths Zero, (according to my count) in flight Shuttle Deaths, 13 (also according to my count).
NASA has a history of fixing known problems, and not putting Astronauts into the vehicles if the problems are known to possibly cause death. They've spent 2 years fixing the last discovered problem and it still exists.
I don't see what the big deal is. They're talking about using the rocket technology which they already have and mixing it with shuttle technology which they also already have. Where's the harm in that?
No the problem is that the Shuttles endanger the lifes of the Astronauts. The Apollo program (and for that matter Mercury) was a lot safer. Fewer people died in those two programs than in the shuttle program. The shuttle fleet has been grounded 3 times on an indefinite basis (that I can think of) because people keep dying or the risks involved.
Barring the fire on the pad, I can't actually think of anybody that died in those two programs. It's just safer to put the payload and crew on top of the boosters. The idea of a reusable plane was cool, but it's just not feasable yet.
What does LSB do? All I know is that it's supposed to bring more standardization to Linux, but about the only thing i've noticed is that I've checked the box for "LSB" at Mandrake `s/rake/riva` and it's made a couple things not work right (although I can't remember what they are now).
Perhaps they need a simple "these files go here instead of here" level tutorial on it.
I'd actually recomend his dad downgrade his AOL service to the $5/mo service so he can still use his AOL.
I hope the OP knows that if anything breaks with the new setup he's forcing onto his Dad, it's going to be his fault. Instead I'd recomend he save his Dad some money.
but blocky. I wonder if to cut down on height they widened it's base. It seems like in your pocket you'd always sort of feel the pressure of it. It looks nice but I'd still rather have a shuffle.

I always liked oregon trail but my favorite was some mystery game where you were stuck in a museum of some sort. I don't remember much about it except their was a part you had to figure out a password for. I STILL remember it; babylon.
I remember back in the day (early 90's) you could sign on to AOL, go into a free area, then launch netscape or mosaic and browse the internet for free. Man what a time. I used to go click occassionaly on something in the free area so they wouldn't jsut see "14 hours on page X" in their logs.

Any idea what game it was?
Does it matter? The guy is still an idiot. Hopefully he didn't breed before he died.

Might also be useful to point out that the Unix version of IE is no longer available either.
how about we develop a time based on epoch since 0 AD?

That might be. When the Article was first posted i tried it (there were zero comments then) and I saw the ad, clicked blah blah. Now nothing.

Anyone remember when it was running on an old Alpha?
