Is Linux a better OS than Windows. The answer is it depends on what you want to do (yes & no). Is Linux more stable than Windows?

First Shuttle liftoff scheduled from Pad B. Launch set for 3:43 p.m. EST, Jan. 22, slipped to Jan. 23, then Jan. 24, due to delays in Mission 61-C. Launch reset for Jan. 25 because of bad weather at transoceanic abort landing (TAL) site in Dakar, Senegal. To utilize Casablanca (not equipped for night landings) as alternate TAL site, T-zero moved to morning liftoff time. Launch postponed a day when launch processing unable to meet new morning liftoff time. Prediction of unacceptable weather at KSC led to launch rescheduled for 9:37 a.m. EST, Jan. 27. Launch delayed 24 hours again when ground servicing equipment hatch-closing fixture could not be removed from orbiter hatch. Fixture sawed off and attaching bolt drilled out before closeout completed. During delay, cross winds exceeded return-to-launch-site limits at KSC's Shuttle Landing Facility. Launch Jan. 28 delayed two hours when hardware interface module in launch processing system, which monitors fire detection system, failed during liquid hydrogen tanking procedures. Explosion 73 seconds after liftoff claimed crew and vehicle. Shuttle flights halted while extensive investigation into accident and assessment of Shuttle program conducted.
That's true. The crew cabin continued its ascent for nearly nine miles after the destruction of the orbiter. There is very strong evidence that at least some of the crew was alive until the crew cabin hit the water more that two and a half minutes after the breakup.

Look even closer and you will see that the hand holding the red portion is actually holding on to a flap that extends from the left side of the numeric pad. This suggests that the cicutry extending from the right side of the numeric pad would fold-up behind the pad, and the flap off the left side would fold over that.
The clear circuit runs would actually wrap around the green PCB that the guy is holding in his right hand in the photo, causing the button contacts to be in direct contact with the PCB. Continue wraping in this manner and the contacts would end up in the right place in relation to the key pad.
When you were done wrapping up the right side so that it was all tucked neatly behind the keypad, you would simply fold the flap on the left side over the whole wad, making a nice neat little red package.
why can't the electrical contacts sit on top of the black with cutouts to show the numbers.

I like the anime style, and my sister knows that, so she got me a couple of DVDs for Xmas (Kite and Sakura Diaries Ch 1). She aparently does not understand the appeal anime has to me.
She apparently believes I like it for the sexy aspect that many titles have, while I really like the style because of the action, dazzleing images and story, things you simply do not see in live action films, things that american animation do not offer (Titan AE... what a piece of shit!).
I must admit, that while Kite had an aspect of being very sexy on one hand, it still had enough action and eye candy to make it a worthwhile view. Sakura Diaries, however, was pathetic.
I see many people injecting their opinions (as Slashdotters are prone to do), but have yet to see one question be addressed. This question must be answered before any larger debate can commence.
What is pornography?
Is the modeling in Playboy magazine porn? How about Hustler Magazine? Where is the line between artistic expression and pornography? Is a photo of a nude 13 year old porn just because she is nude, or must she be engaged in some sort of sexual activity with another person to achieve porn status?Where is the line?
There is, in my opinion, a question to be answered before even discussing the previous question. This question is perhaps the most important of all......
Poor baby. So you are upset the users clowns like you have abused with your shoddy Windows shareware and comerical software and enslaving software licenses finally have had enough and moved to Linux and other OSS software and told you to fuck off. Too damn bad. For *YOU* that is.
Ummm.... What? I want to believe you had a point to make, but I see something about some users who have some upset clowns with windows.
Apparently these clowns are either enslaving, or being enslaved by software licenses, but then moved to Linux and other Open Source Software, which promptly told them to fuck off.

To put it briefly, I'm complaining because Gates is trying to ingratiate himself to people who like standards by touting USB compatability while at the same time keying it to the X-Box so people have to buy new equipment. Microsoft is trying to give with one hand and take with the other.
Every peice of official MS Xbox documentation that I have seen Refers to "modified USB" when refering to the controller interface. I just don't see how this is so misleading. To me, modified in this sense is synonymous with Non-Standard.
There could be several reasons for this, all of which have been discussed in detail right here on/. I really don't think that Gates is trying to do what you claim in your first paragraph.
Playstations and Dreamcasts make no claim to support standards......
Neither does the Xbox, since the available official MS documentation clearly states that it uses a modified version of USB.

I see many people injecting their opinions (as Slashdotters are prone to do), but have yet to see one question be addressed. This question must be answered before any larger debate can commence.
What is pornography?
Is the modeling in Playboy magazine porn? How about Hustler Magazine? Where is the line between artistic expression and pornography? Is a photo of a nude 13 year old porn just because she is nude, or must she be engaged in some sort of sexual activity with another person to achieve porn status?Where is the line?
There is, in my opinion, a question to be answered before even discussing the previous question. This question is perhaps the most important of all......
Who decides where to draw the line?
just ripped right through my copy of 'beaches'. burnt andgouged! bastards
It's beaches.... not like it's a big loss. Had it been anything other than a Bette Midler flick, I would be worried.
I think the console did you a favor.... Be thankful!
Poor baby. So you are upset the users clowns like you have abused with your shoddy Windows shareware and comerical software and enslaving software licenses finally have had enough and moved to Linux and other OSS software and told you to fuck off. Too damn bad. For *YOU* that is.
Ummm.... What?
I want to believe you had a point to make, but I see something about some users who have some upset clowns with windows.
Apparently these clowns are either enslaving, or being enslaved by software licenses, but then moved to Linux and other Open Source Software, which promptly told them to fuck off.
I need a translator!
To put it briefly, I'm complaining because Gates is trying to ingratiate himself to people who like standards by touting USB compatability while at the same time keying it to the X-Box so people have to buy new equipment. Microsoft is trying to give with one hand and take with the other.
/. I really don't think that Gates is trying to do what you claim in your first paragraph.
Every peice of official MS Xbox documentation that I have seen Refers to "modified USB" when refering to the controller interface. I just don't see how this is so misleading. To me, modified in this sense is synonymous with Non-Standard.
There could be several reasons for this, all of which have been discussed in detail right here on
Playstations and Dreamcasts make no claim to support standards......
Neither does the Xbox, since the available official MS documentation clearly states that it uses a modified version of USB.
remember the celery 366 ->550 Over clock
Whatayamean, remember? I live with it everyday! I use a 366-550 in my Home theatre system.
