It's called geostationary orbit... duh. The term has been around for more than 40 years, along with actual satellites in that kind of orbit.
I wonder how stupid the target audience for bbc news is. I mean, in a couple of years they'll call the traffic lights "color encoded traffic regulator at street crossings"?:)
That's like asking if anyone has ever used Linux on Slashdot.
You'd be suprised to find out that many of the most vocal linux advocates were also moaning and whining about the "page widening bug"... which is/was a bug only showing in IE. Go figure.

Come on... if it wasn't for the bad spelling, I would've thought this is a rip off CNN.

Can you blame them? How can you roll the darn thing? Although having a cord attached to your boling-ball can have certain advantages.:)
Unfortunately - and I'm saying this with sincere regret - the pics are most probably the result of many Gimp work-hours, on a dateless Friday evening, by some sad soul... don't dump yor wife yet.:)
Since all of us "power users" don't like those performance-detracting ACPI/APM functions, we always disable them.
Actually, it's enough to have the seti@home (or united devices/ distributed net/ whatever) client running to stop the computer from getting into standby/suspend.
It's called ACPI - gone are the times you had to press shift from time to time...:)

Tis spells more spam to me, so I'm not really sure I'm happy. Also, as a sysadmin I wouldn't want to go again thru "don't run magazine cds" for the people (obviously this is not the cd they were tought to handle:)
Yet another BBC ("bootable business card") cd is maintained by redhat.de (german subsidiary).
Although aimed mainly at redhat users, it's pretty comprehensive and you can debug/fiddle with your other partitions (win32, ntfs). It's fairly up-to-date, also.
Right on the spot: I don't really think the average consumer will see the advantage of running windows apps in a restricted environment. Even so, if you run, let's say, an unpatched outlook, with your real address book - when SirCam/whatever eventually hits you there's little difference from running pure Windows: it will send itself to everybody and will infect/delete the "sandbox" itself. For most of the people this will mean "everything".

I received both the letter and the warning email, in this order. I wasn't stupid enough to fall for the Verisign's scheme, though.
Also I don't wanna spend time writing obscenities to them - I'm sure a lot of other people will oblige.
So basicly it's "move on, nothing to see here".

A great book called Showstopper! has a detailed account of how NT was built.
:)
Well,this seems to me as the most inspired title a book about the origins of NT could get. Mmmm... unbeatable. Thanks, Anonymous Coward!
obviously... (for me at least).
I wouldn't be surprised if he _still_ uses vi
:)
Maybe this will become the single most powerful argument in the emacs vs. vi religious war.
In the light of this happening, it makes sens to look for alternatives... don't rely on GPS accuracy, and avoid becoming "collateral damage". :)

anyone ever heard of Nasa having any sort of plan on what to do if an asteriod ever was going to hit earth
:)
How does "pray and repent" sound? Would you make public this kind of "contingency" plan?
Now I'll really get to live to see the HURD released...

Yep, that's true. There's even a small prize to win if you crack qmail (very improbable...)
Check it all here.

Mandrake Linux. Because it's got bigger tits.
You obviously missed this
Note: this is on-topic: it says "chicks dig mandrake" sideways... you just can't get better advertising.
Stallman claimed that the GNU system, with the HURD kernel, would be released "real soon now"
:)
Repent, infidels! The end is near...
[ducks]
At the moment, the problem seems to be more along the lines of "what we can do to ICANN"... :)

Oh, but nice try, anyway...
