So the engines on SS1 shut off pre-maturely, after a burn of only about a minute, which was half of the predicted two minute burn.
I think your wrong. All source I've read about SS1
say that is will burn the engines for 63 to 70 seconds - which is a burn of only about a minute.
It even says this in the articule.
Do you have any references to the two minutes burn
or that engines shut out early?
They could submerge it (and still make it look nice) instead:

I like the bit where it says about liquid nitrogen: "But extra precaution has to be taken as this stuff is very dangerous if not handled properly." Right next to the picture of
somebody pouring a jug of liquid nitrogen in the cooling tube with there bare hands......
I think it's meant to work that way in Florida, atleast it will be in keeping with the oh so great
paper system. The paper system is pretty flawed
because you can only swing an election by 10 to 30
thousand votes before people notice, where as with
electronic voting, it could be millions of votes
but nobody would know.
Consider an intermittent failure of the brake system in your car....
Consider the tires of your SUV intermittently
exploding and your SUV intermittently flipping
over.
After all, the companies building them are pretty much doing what most other software companies do.
Not quite, other companies don't say things
like "I hope our voting machines elect a
republican". Also the CEOs of other companies
don't suddenly get elected with a land slide
vote after leaving their company to try a
career in polotiks, but only in areas that
use thier e-voting machines....
you can still legally get a rifle in Britain with a hard-to-obtain license, a shotgun with an easy-to-obtain license, and an airgun/realistic replica/blank firer/two of the above with no license whatsoever.
Then why can't I own a Brocock (website
seems to be down/having problems) air pistol without
a license.....
his is one of the WORST looking Tron costumes I've seen.
If you RTFA (as opposed to looking at the pictures
you dirty minded troll), you'd find out that this
isn't infact Tron, but a simple payroll withholding calculation program that had gotten overweight by changes in the laws.
I'll give him 10/10 for going out in public
wearing a tight costume with that beer gut.
(keep in mind he'll drink you under the table).
Mullets move a side, now is the time of the beer
gut!

You think that's scary, G.W. Bush just signed a law, that effectively bans YOUR MOTHER!
Come on, It's doesn't ban YOUR MOTHER, it just makes it illegal for her to make her own decisions about her body. Why do you hate America like this?
You know, after all these years you'd think slashdot would have tried to come up with something that wouldn't cripple the web sites they link to, and cost poor unsuspecting people hugely increased bandwidth fees. For a website that always tries to position itself as siding with the independent, pre-commercial spirit of the internet, the Slashdot editors have a really lousy sense of ethics.
Right on!
What makes it even worse is that they have a busines model around fukcing over unsuspecting
people. You pay them to see the site before it
gets completely crippled (I notice that some times
people take down movies and won't put them back
up after a slashdotting). Now if it wasn't for
the slashdot effect, would so many people pay
for slashdot accounts?
I hope that IBM burns SCO to the ground and then crushes the ashes to powder, but the nmap people just don't have the right to "revoke" SCO's rights to GPL code. Notice that the word "revoke" is not even in the GPL. There is no provision for it. Only users that do not comply with all terms lose their license: actually, because they are not in compliance, they never had a license, and their use defaults to that of normal copyright law. However, there is no evidence that SCO is *not* in compliance.
Why can't the nmap copyright holder revoke SCO's nmap license?
A copyright holder can license their work in any
way they care. If the nmap copyright holder
want's to revoke SCO's license, there is nothing
legal stopping them from doing it for what ever
reason they want. Don't like SCO taking money
from Microsoft, revoke their nmap license. Did SCO
take you parking stop at the store, revoke their
nmap license.
One of the key things I think a lot of people get
confused about is license vs contract. If SCO had a contract for using nmap, then things would
most likey be very different, since most contracts
would provide an obligation on the part of the
provider to meet certain conditions. Also, contract laws vary from state to state, country to country, so depnending on where you are, you may
get extra protection stopping the copyright owner
make such changes without ending up in court over
it. (Of course if you didn't read you contract
and it contained such clauses as revoke at will,
then you get what you deserve).
You can't just revoke the GPL because you want to. It is automatically revoked if the licensee violates it, but the author has no power to revoke the license. Otherwise, someone could simply pay, for instance, Linus Torvalds a lot of money so he makes Linux proprietary (i.e. revokes its license). This should not be possible.
Bzzzzzzzzzt, wrong.
I seem to remember the FSF, the copyright holders of gcc, issuing at proprietary license of gcc in
exchange for a nice big donation. The compiler
was for distribution on some embedded device or
something.
But look at Cygwin, it's GPL'd, but it's prefectly
fine for the copyright holders to sell proprietary
licenses to people wanting to use Cygwin, but don't want to open source their projects.
If your the copyright holder you can license your
software anyway you want as many times as you want. You could be confusing a license for a
software contract, which could have clauses
that would not permit a revokel without a
direct violation (although, SCO claim they
disagree with the GPL, which could be considered
a direct violation).
But it does seem like a layer of obscurity to what should otherwise be a secure port. What if someone is sniffing your network? Unlike an encrypted password, they could easily replay this sequence and gain access to your "hidden" port.
Use one use knocks, so the same knock doesn't
work more than once. Once a knock is used it
will no longer be useful and a new knock is
required. This could be stored as a list on
a pda, watch, back of hand, whatever. It could
generated from a formula or something, but this
would introduce the chance somebody would sniff
a few logins a crack your formula...
I won't be doing it any time soon. I'd have been pissed off if I couldn't have watched the Best Super Bowl ever and Janet's half time show hit its 'peak' on my HTPC. All because some lacky using MyDoom hijacked my computer to beat up SCO.
Seriously, hasn't anyone noticed that the spam is comming mostly from countries that have a technology infrastruction combined with lots of really poor people (China, India, etc.)?
No, not really. I'd be interested to know where
you get your info. If this just reading your spam
then you might have a skewed sample.
If you take a look at Postini's live spam map, you see that North America is by far leading the world in sending spam, then Europe, but admittily not too far behind is China, then
Brazil.
I think as we see more western countries put in
place heavy fines and jail time for spam, we will
see a rise in spam from third world countries (or
spammer havens). I wonder which will be the first countries to use econmic (or communication) sanctions to force a country to crack down on it's
spammers...
Even more optimizations are on their way -- Chris Mason of SuSe has proposed a patch which brings the time to replay 100 changesets down to about 4 seconds in optimal conditions; some cleaned-up variant may well make it into tla 1.2 or 1.3
That's nothing, SVN and Arch only go up to 9,

Some diseases are mostly or partially preventable, and we should all make a damned good effort to take good care of ourselves and reduce all the risk factors, but please don't try to make it sound like people who suffer from cancer are to blame for their own conditions.
I agree about the whose suffer from cancer are not to blame for their own condition, it's a very
western doctor thing to claim everything is preventable, and it's the patients own fault for
getting whatever they have gotten, could have
been avoid with a lift style change (western
doctors will even give you that line if you
where hit by car).
Saying that I believe that we can (could have) prevent cancel. Unfortunately we've chosen
to build nuclear reactors, to use nuclear weapons
and not care about radiation containment.
Hershey's Chocolate factory is ~13 miles from
Three Mile Island, which means that we've been
feeding (our fat ass selves and) our children
highly radio-active chocolate and candies.
I was a child when a big cloud rained down on me, this cloud was from Chernobyl. I will probably
die of cancer (or get hit by car), I know that
I will never know which radio-active particle
really caused it or where did it come from, but
I do know it could have been prevented.
Yeah, my wife real likes ChaseHQ, I wonder
if she'd be pissed to get the USB steering wheel
for Xmas (or maybe I want the USB steering wheel
thingy for Xmas).
Alright... Now I'm just waiting for the first "USB Toothbrush Hack" to be released... I can see it now, it'll be just like the exploding monitor "hack" from years ago...
Nah, get the Toothbrush Hackers Bible, it covers the
blue tooth and serial versions as well.

I've removed my CPU fan and covered my CPU in that lappad stuff. I'm now looking forward to a faster, cooler, quieter computer....
What's that burning smell.....
Then why can't I own a Brocock (website seems to be down/having problems) air pistol without a license.....
I'm thinking some sort of laser beam attachment for dogs, or even small machine guns. Maybe battle bots vs battle dogs....
But all I can find is stuff about carts....
