Going directly from Earth may be cheaper than going from the space station.
Rockets will have to carry fuel for the lunar trips to the space station, and also fueling and other maintenance modules/bays will need to be constructed and lifted to the space station. Which is big dollars, dollars which probably wouldn't result in a pay off.
Here are some good papers that talk about many of these issues, be sure to have a look at the Mars Direct PDF, it discusses methods of going from Earth from Orbit and from the Moon (if a source of water could be found there)
Think of The Joy of Not Working by Ernie Zelinski (and he lives in my home town I was shocked to find out, Edmonton, Alberta) as a combination of a book encouraging you to find a job where you can slack off and work only 4-5 hours a day, and a book about how to enjoy yourself when you are not working. Although the book mentions retirement you can ignore that part and focus on the enjoying yourself.
But definiately get out and get some exercise and add a little bit of routine to your life like going out and conversing with the regulars at the coffee shop or walking the dog. You'll find about 300 things you can do to make your life better in TJoNW.
> Or, you could store the water under pressure and let it out through the device to get the energy back out.
Except that water is an incompressable fluid.
You could however compress some air (or something) and use the force of that to drive the water. Of course, that all sounds highly inefficient due to the conversion ratios achieved.
They already do this...open up MSIE and voila...you get MSN.

Subtractive vs Additive sources

A few things to remember.
Monitors work by Additive colour sources (RGB). Paper works by Subtractive colour sources (CMYK).
The contrast ratio on monitors is higher than on regular newsprint. This is one of the reasons that I find black text on a white background hard to read. In fact at small font sizes I find white on black easier to read.
Redhat's man pages are coloured for black on white now making my man pages impossible to read with my default black backgrounds, side note anyone know how to turn this off?

I don't know if you're refering to Stradivarius violins, but I just thought that I would pass along an article about the "Nagyvarius". The basics are this, Stradivarius may or may not have been a genius violin maker, but either way his violins are amazing, and reproducable. The other argument is that he was a great violin maker that through a combination of materials, luck and geographic location. Unfortunately whatever secret he may have possessed died with his sons, whose deaths followed shortly after their father.
Torvalds: Sometimes. At conferences I have a lot of people coming up and talking to me. But at the same time I don't have young girls coming and screaming at me and throwing their underwear! Which is just as well, as I'm a married man!
Well I don't know where the acl code came out of for the ext3 patches. But the acl code for XFS came out of the whole XFS/Irix structure. They have simply merged their code together so that they can talk to each other.
That the acl code may not be in the production kernel is a matter of bad timing (end of 2.4 beginning of 2.5) rather than anything patchwork or stop gap about it.
This merely addresses the very political nature of RBL lists in our environment. I'd love to turn it on and just let people fend for themselves but they just keep complaining that X can't send me email anymore.
And procmail isn't the only filter. Netscape and Outlook both support filtering, as do most mail clients. Yes you still get the spam, and yes with thousands of domains and hundreds of thousands of users this adds up to a lot of money quickly but it removes the political angle.
Of course the other option with EXIM is use the warning on all domains and then to give the domain owners a choice to opt-in to the system for just plain blocking once they learn about how the system works and/or are being driven crazy by spam.
Here is a much better article that describes that that since much of Tux's code was put into the kernel that X15 (a user space webserver, see the kernel mailing list) is approximately the same speed.
You will find that if you update your redhat to the latest vendor suggested update you will be able to install these rpms if you do not have other dependancies.
The problem being of course that the Earth would no longer be where you left it. It's orbit around the sun would make it very difficult to come back quickly if you choose the shortest launch window to Mars.
And here, have a link to various mission profiles complete with some graphics of return tragectories:

Just add samba 2.2.3a that has acl support and stir. What did I need that NT server for again?

Use EXIM as your mailserver and you can have the best of all worlds.
1) Messages are checked for RBL
2) A X-RBL-Warning header is added to the message
3) Users can choose to filter these messages themselves
Are they going to spam everyone on the internet to attract interest as well?

Which mirror is that?
Or...is there a list of Redhat mirrors that are apt enabled now?
I know of freshrpms.net, but I don't know if they have a complete redhat installation on their site.
Smart coding pays off
