The Boulder-based Cassini Image Team describes 5 visible moons, plans for the descent probe going into the Titan moon's hydrocarbon-rich atmosphere and the expected orbital entry around Saturn less than 4 months from now.
It's nice to know that if man ever lands on Titan, there won't be any problem with heating our homes:-)
That's true, we'd want some security. The code to UNIX System V, the SCO building (a _great_ paintball arena), Darl's car and home, his firstborn child... you know the drill.
With perhaps at least one of his wives thrown in for good measure?
It's interesting. I've been learning Spanish lately, and while that's hardly original it has helped me to formalise some concepts that I haven't been able to put into words before. Eg ser vs estar: 'soy feliz' and 'estoy feliz' mean almost completely different things, but in English when someone says 'I'm happy', we don't know whether he means he's a contented man, or just someone who happens to have been paid that day so is in a good mood (although we can normally guess from the context).
Sorry if this doesn't make sense, I'm tired as hell and I've still got a Spanish essay to finish:-)
Has any one taken a look to see if the old rumors that Win2K is more stable because it uses open source code is true? If so, would that make Microsoft in violation of the GPL?
If they're using GPL code, yes. They already use open source code, and admit it freely - however, it's licensed under the BSD license, and hence can be distributed in closed source systems.
(Someone correct me if I'm completely wrong, but I think that's right).
Ah, ok. In Britain we've got something similar, it's called Conrad. A way for the very rich to distinguish themselves from everyone else, now that many people can afford to drink wine/eat out regularly/buy their own house, etc etc.
Don't think that you are completely secure and private when operating from such an access point anyway. You still have a MAC address. If you want to believe that Tom Ridge and John Ashcroft don't have a database with your MAC address in it, that's your business, but more than one computer user has learned the hard way that the MAC address identifies them.
So just buy a brand new PCMCIA wireless card with cash on the day you intend to release your virus. It would be literally impossible to trace you.
Failing that just use a library, sign up with a fake name and address if you're paranoid, they never check it and it's not a legal offence to lie about it (I think, I may be wrong. If it is an offence it's a civil one).
Worse than that, though, will be the movie producer in 2075 who decided that 9/11 could make a great story of love and loss starring the late 21st century equivalents of Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet.
What's more, they'll find a way of putting a socialist message into it, and in doing so twist it out of all reality.
There are an astounding number of historical inaccuracies in Titanic. I know, I know, it's only a film, but the number of people it misportrays or paints as cowards just in order to get Cameron's left-wing view of the world across is enormous.

They spend quite a while discussing the problems Windows has with security, including viruses... how is that a nice plug?
This is Slashdot - what many others would call fair and reasonable is considered hopelessly biased towards Microsoft by many (not all) people here.
"Say Terrance, what did the Spanish priest say to the Iranian gynocologist?"
Surely Nigeria should be on that list, with all its bank account spams?

(Legal notice: that was a JOKE).
Besides, that hint of Geordie in Trillian's radio voice was probably too sexy for television in 1981 ;)
You find the Geordie accent sexy? Wow, that's really strange.
anyway...i have a feeling that 300 years from now, english and mandarin will be the dominant languages.
Why not English and Cantonese, just out of interest? (I know very little of Chinese languages so sorry if it's a stupid question).

can't take advantage of more than 4 megabytes of memory at a time.
Wow, looks as though 508 meg of my computer's memory is going to waste!
Are you sure you're not just karma whoring?
:-)
(That was just a joke

Oops, that should be Conran. Conrad [Black] is a man who used to own a line of newspapers. Probably the type who would shop in Conran or Prada.
Ah, ok. In Britain we've got something similar, it's called Conrad. A way for the very rich to distinguish themselves from everyone else, now that many people can afford to drink wine/eat out regularly/buy their own house, etc etc.
... who, or what, is Prada?

As opposed to those who would rather we just shut up about immigration and hope for the best.
The victory of analogue watches is all down to Douglas Adams.
(What was it he said about digital watches?)

Lincoln is quite glorified over there, isn't he? So presumably you celebrate your Civil War.
'Gate's firm supplied technology used to trap Chinese dissidents'
What is this 'Gate' of which you speak?
And also, how does this justify the headling 'Microsoft Violates Human Rights in China'?
The point is, Germany went largely unchallenged for 5 years before the US got involved.
Please, please, learn some facts before you post.
...at it's core, fueled by ignorance
Oh, the irony.
(Btw, I agree that racism is fueled by ignorance but disagree that nationalism and racism are the same thing).
They certainly are, but never mind - I've got karma to burn.
As your post has just demonstrated.
In Cambodia, motorbikes act as routers for a store-and-forward email system
Did anyone else read the first two words as 'In Canada'?
