Due to popular demand, the MyDoom virus is currently being ported to linux and will be available as a loadable kernel module in the next kernel release. 8-)
If I'd get started about all the things 'someone told me'.. Someone is a big fat liar! BTW, did you know the USA put two rovers on the moon a few weeks ago?
I just checked it, sco.com is up! I even hit refresh a couple of times to make sure (and to increase the load of course..). There's nothing illegal about us all visiting that site repeatedly, is there? It's called civil inobedience, IIRC.
I think I'm going to re-install Win98 on all my machines.. They have been Microsoft-free for the last couple of years, but this virus really is a killer app!
We pursued this litigation because we knew that what Lemelson and his Partnership were doing was terribly wrong, and only Cognex had both the technical knowledge and the fortitude to put an end to their campaign of legalized extortion
legalized extortion and patents.. do they go hand in hand?
I agree that the shuttle program is a failure. If it weren't for the ISS, the shuttle program would probably have ended right here, right now (you can read that between the lines). The Soyous capsules are far more reliable in sending men to/from space than the shuttle, so that should be the path to folow IMO. Unfortunately, the ISS is where it is right now. I think it's worth finishing, especially when you consider the international engagements made. It has a potential, but not when it's manned by a crew of three; they are mostly doing maintenance jobs. Maybe it's time to invite China to the orbital village? The ISS has a modular approach, so they could build their own module.. In retrospect it could be nice if different governments approached each other by means of the ISS. If that would be the case, I think the station will be worth its price, regardless of the scientific return!
LOL! nice metaphor.:) It's just the perverted side of my mind:)
I don't know if you are an American (I'm from Belgium myself), but I have heard of the great financial pit the US is creating under Bush's predicency, newspaper editors over here even claim it's a threat to the world's economy! So how on Earth will it be possible to plan a manned mission to Mars when huge problems are facing us here? I think just returning to the moon will be a challenge! But at least it's more or less realistic, and a moon base would be more rewarding than the ISS (at least you could go out, around the ISS there is nothing but a big vacuum).
I just cannot imagine those people at NASA aren't intelligent enough to realize this is election-talk.
So I guess NASA is playing the game along, saying "sure, mister president, now give us some extra money". Wouldn't you? I'm sure they'll make some scouting missions to the moon with it, maybe to find water at the poles. Only when you have those results further missions could be planned, IMHO. But to drop everything they are doing just because a baboon in election-heat tells them to, well, I hope NASA is smarter than that.
BTW, I got the info about the Hubble mission from a NASA TV interview with the head of NASA.. damn, I forgot his name..
OK, so it's quite easy to buy a PC running linux, handhelds already run linux, smartphones will be running linux (well, occording to the article), but buying a portable without paying a microsoft tax is just plain impossible. When will that barrier fall?
At what cost? The price of a new observatory? And suppose they are willing to take the risk and they all die. Is the public going to say, well, they accepted the risk, we'll just have to replace them. Or will the shuttle program be halted once more, delaying the ISS program even more? I can understand your view, but even though the Hubble is scientifically more valuable than the ISS, the Hubble will complete his mission duration, it will get replaced, and the ISS is a monstruous international effort that the US simply cannot back out of.
Well, on question should go for the numbers: do a lot of people have computers in Iraq? Is linux well-known there? How is it welcomed compared to the competition? IIRC the internet was outlawed under Sadam, so is it becoming available rapidly?
Of course we all know the fastest way to get network is to get a bunch of linux-geeks together.. Is the next linux beer.. erm.. thee hike going to be in Bagdad?
good point. Maybe the flash memory is just mapped in the memory space. If the processor has no MMU, memory protection is not a possibility, so memory corruption can occur. I wonder what cpu is used on the rovers..
Where Cartman bought his theme park (losing money at the time) and let nobody in? In no time everyone wanted to come to the theme park, and others followed his idea. Restaurants allowing nobody in, etc. Orkut seems like the latest development in that area to me..
which means Nasa has to cut other programs to keep up with the Bush mandate. this precipitated the Hubble Space Telescope announcement recently.
In fact, the hubble sevicing mission was canceled because NASA intends to fully embrace the columbia accident report. When the shuttle will fly again, it will have to be inspected for loss of heat tiles. For the ISS missions, a plan for doing this can be established. Also, if something goes wrong, the crew can stay onboard the ISS.
For the Hubble, being in a completely different orbit, they would have to work out a completely different plan, and a rescue plan involving launching a second shuttle to pick up the crew should the first one be unable to survive re-entry. This would be used only once, for the servicing mission. Hence, NASA decided to cancel the flight and try to operate the telescope as long as possible in the current state.
I do agree with your view of Bush's talents, but this has nothing to do with it. This man has no interest in space flight whatsoever, it just happens to be an election year.

Lucky you. I was already making room in my closet for a new scalp :-P
to me, it says that a lot of mid-sized sites got burned with red hat's recent killing of rh9.
to me, it says the Debian world domination plan is working.

It seems like that by that guy is experienced enough in level editing, level editing will be the game :).
I can't handle that much multi-tasking!
Be careful, you could damage your flash filesystem and enter a reset loop!

Seems I have developed ad-blindness. Sweet!
That would certainly be one way to find the mines. Drop coconuts from airplanes.
Just make sure there isn't a famine in that area. It would be kinda cruel to drop food in mine fields.
And it sure works! If it had an easy installation wizzard, I'd download it immediately!

Can they do that?
i don't see your point

please don't drink and moderate.
Whoops
Same point, I would be paying for software I wouldn't be using.

- Do you know what the advantages are of having an Orkut account?
- Do you want an account?
If the answers are no and yes, you are infected.

No.
