Looks like it's generally recognized as the world's largest ship, even if it does not have the power to move itself: http://www.arcticgas.gov/flng-... "Shell hopes to tow the vessel to the site — it won't have its own propulsion — and produce the first LNG cargoes by 2017."
Well, if you define it like that, no Russians have died in space either. All the Russian accidents have been on the launch pad or during re-entry, IIRC.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 contains a "technology preview" of gcc 4.0 (beta), which will probably be patched with the release version ASAP.
Not that the kernel in that distro is compiled with gcc 4, that probably won't happen before next year's distro. (http://www.redhat.com/software/rhel/features/)
That would be the reasonalble choice, but we all know NASA never goes for that, don't we?
(Not to nitpick, but I don't think the Russians have ever launched 100 metric tons to LEO with Energia, they only used the 30 ton-version to launch Buran.)
Not NASA as such, but their supplier Boeing is working on scaling up the Delta 4 vehicle by clustering several rockets. (http://www.spaceflightnow.com/delta/d4h.html/.) A cluster of 3 rockets was tested in December, with 6 or 7 rockets it should be able to launch a CEV into orbit.
I recently switched my workstation to Linux (my company is fairly, but not totally infested with MS products.) OpenOffice works great on all.doc,.xls and.ppt produced by MS Office 2000 here. Ximian Evolution 1.4 works almost flawlessly with Exchange server, including calendaring. My one problem was some MS Sharepoint websites, but a free installation of Opera 7.54 took care of that.
To work with Siebel ERP i still have to fire up a Citrix session to get IE, though...
Almost correct, the Russian space program has claimed about 8-10 times as many lives as the American program. 4 Russian astronauts and about 150-160 gound crew have died, compared to the 22 dead American astronauts.
But no Russian has died in flight since 1971. They've had a better safety record than the Americans for the last two decades, belive it or not!

Yes, that would be the accident on October 24, 1960, where a R-16 (aka. SS-6) rocket exploded on the launch pad, killing over 100 persons. Undoubtedly the worst accident during the space race. Read about it here or here.
In Preferences:Network:Browser Identification. Unfortunately, MS IE 6.0 is the default, even in the splendid Bork version. (Which I'm running now, I'll never upgrade my Opera again!;-))
Actually, he was trying to cut down on the Signal/Noise factor in the courtroom. The prosecutor grilled Johansen for hours about "The hacker OS" Linux, what IRC chats he had with the group cracking deCSS, if he had pirated software at home, and so on and so on -not at all realated to the charge.
Manshaus was short and to the point, trying to convey that the court is about one simple thing: Is descrambling your DVD a computer break-in or not? All the hacker-hype from the prosecutor is only there to confuse the judges, by his reasoning.
Well, I've managed to break both win98 and win2000 by switching motherboards. (Crashing all the time, finding lots of new devices, messing up IRQs, etc.)
I think most other OSes handle that stuff better...
I had the pleasure of attending Dahl's last lecture-series, right before he retired (sort of) in 1998. I think he was 70 years old, totally eccentric and absent-minded, forgot to show up some days, but still the smartest brain in the room when it came to CS problems. My favourite living CS-person!
Apparently, Xerox PARC originally wanted to license Simula, but the Norwegian Research Council (http://www.forskningsradet.no/) demaned a little bit too much money for it, 1 Million $ or something, so PARC ended up making its own language (Smalltalk) instead.
Right there, the Norwegian government blew away the chances of making Simula a world-dominating language. A pity for Dahl, Nygaard and the prestige of their university, but maybe not a great loss for humanity. Having programmed in Simula, I have to say it's still a feature-poor, slow-performing (but interesting) language.
In Norway, IBM is by far the most arrogant and useless company you can buy software from. My company have used Websphere and DB2, and the help from IBM (after hours of phone-screaming) was worth next to nothing.
We used Websphere 2.x and 3.0, IIRC, and they were CRAP, i know DB2 is a decent database, but we were not able to configure it to run any faster than mySQL, thanks to lousy support from IBM.
In the end, we dropped Websphere for Weblogic, no great support from BEA either, but at least the appserver ran 24x7 w/o great problems...
The USSR apparently had 3 aircraft carriers, 1 is still in (Russian) service, although it's probably been docked for good. 1 they abandoned, 1 was sold by the Ukraine government.
I quote:"Ukraine began trying to sell the ship, and talks with Chinese and British companies were held in 1995. However, it was hard to find a customer. The sale of Varyag for
US$20 million was announced on 17 March 1998 for conversion to an entertainment complex and casino."
The Russians have been doing a huge garage sale since 1990-91. I've read stories about fighter jets and complete aircraft carriers being auctioned away (maybe today it would've been on ebay?).
And I'm pretty sure they have exported some nuclear warheads, I mean, they had _thousands_ of them laying around, some must have made their way to the eager buyers in the 3. world...
Living in Norway, I'm just so sad to see that more and more of the "fascist and corporation-driven" culture sneak its way from the US over to us.
Historically, the "social-democratic" style of government over here has held back the "dark forces" of corporations, but 50 years with the USA as the world leader has taken its toll. Seeing your economical greatness, biz leaders try to fool us into giving them the same "freedom" that business has in the US.
We (geeks and other enligthned people) must fight them every inch of the way. Ironically, since the US is always making presedence, joining EFF is a good start for fighting corporatism. I say: "We gotta take the power back!"
From what I heard on Norwegian radio, he was reported to the police by the MPA(A), and then the police raided his house and brought him in for questioning. If the police find that they have a case against him, he will be procecuted by the norwegian government.
I'm just finishing my master thesis, which revolves around a 1172 lines long Perl script.
At my faculty, we're pretty much free to use whatever language we like for our master thesis, in the undergraduate courses they can choose between Java, Pascal, and C(++).
I've just tested the game under windows, and on my dual Pentium 180/64M RAM it runs as fast as maple syrup:-( Gets slower after a while, as well, possible memory leak...
I wonder if the game will benefit from SMP? (Obviously, the less bloated OS will speed it up, but how much?)
If not, I'll have to cough up some major bucks to get me a new machine -this game I GOT to have!

It's okay to be a optimistic about your product, but this is an all-time high...
Lindows already owns the domain lindos.com (perhaps for misspelling reasons). It would be pretty funny if they switched to that instead...

It's from "Bullet in the head", on their debut album. Later in the song, they say:
Beleivin' all the lies that they're tellin' yea /
Buying all the products that they're selling ya.
So it seems a fitting song for those who belive
the Establishment's arguments in this case.

reported to the police by the MPA(A), and then
the police raided his house and brought him in
