As pointed out on the comments on the article page, this is most likely a fraud. Writing a VM isn't the easiest thing to do. This software would likely cost much more than $50 because of the effort involved.
If I am not, does every discovery about Mars need to really be linked to life for it to be fascinating? Or does the press feel that's the need these days?
Well, to the averge joe, it is much more interesting than stories about the latest geological formation. Really, I hate to break it to you, but no many everyday people care much about the "changes in our understanding of Martian history" that these probes are creating.
Simply because they are the only linux distros with HBA drivers
A lot of corporations don't even *use* SANs. Not every corporation needs em. Just because other distros lack a certain feature X doesn't mean that they're useless for corporations. That's just narrow minded thinking.
BTW, at my corporation, we use Gentoo because we know what we're doing and don't need or want the hand holding that RH and Suse provide. It's amazing! We're a corporation and we're successfully using a distro other than red hat and suse!
Being from Utah, I am highly embarassed by Hatch's shenanigans. If there is anyone else out there who would like to help me let the people of Utah know what he is doing in Washington, please reply to this.
Why is there a Utah joke every time an SCO story comes up? Are you all that bigoted that you have to pick on us? I don't see german digs on all suse stories.
While I applaud the effort, and I'm sure they'll sell some copies; other than some cost savings how is this functionally different from using Crossover Office? I've been using Excel in Linux for quite some time and it works perfectly.
Probably because they're a software company. Probably lots of developers (who should know better, but...) who need to have admin rights to their machines.
I simply do not want those people screwing up the process even worse than it is.
So you're elitist. Got it.
Having to physically go out to the polls weeded out all the limp pseudo-voters who didn't really care that much.
Or maybe they were folks for whom getting to the polls is a lot more trouble that it is for you. You assume they're lazy. I say that there are a lot of reasons to not go to the polls other than laziness. How do you know everyone who doesn't vote is just lazy? Have you ever thought of the reason that retired people have much higher voter turnout numbers?
I just don't want to see whole sectors of the population kicking back at home and casting a quick vote. I don't oppose the concept of web voting, just the idea of it being commonplace.
So what *is* your problem with commonplace web voting? I know that the problem that many politicians have with it is that it would mess up their science of election prediction. They don't really want higher voter turnout. They like that they can easily predict which voters will show up and can thus campaign them. If web voting became commonplace, then voter turnout would *skyrocket* and make elections completely unpredictable (at least to the politicians).
Perhaps if web voting were possible, the retirement voting block wouldn't have such a grip on our political system and we could actually fix social security.
You're supposed to tell them. You can't simply assume that they know "the defaults". You are responsible for the actions of the software that you run. It isn't anybody elses fault.
If the person who "created" it actually created the *whole* thing, then yes, it's his. But that's not how it works. Every creative work is derivative in some way. That's why copyrights expire. Because the creative work we create is a shared resource. It was created based on other work.
All I'm saying is that the amount of knowledge and skills the average human being can possess will not increase expontentially over time (barring artificial manipulation). We gain new skills as a population and lose old ones.
True, but the reason that teenagers can understand calculus isn't because they're smarter, or because they have more "room" in their heads, it's because we understand calculus better now and can explain it in simpler terms. People tend to overlook advances in teaching methods that help new learners understand the same concepts with less complexity.
As advanced concepts become old, better ways of teaching them will become available. And as students come to the table with a simpler understanding of the same stuff, they will be better prepared to create new theories.

Really. Where is your fully functioning Amiga emulator? That sounds like some task.

typed once in a single source code file
*Which* source code file pray tell?
Am I reading this wrong?

Life is cool.
Why not just go all the way to 256 and address EVERY PROTON IN THE UNIVERSE.
With about 10^79 protons in the observable universe, one could address them all with 2^256 possible addresses.

You're lucky. I type at about 30 wpm with low accuracy. And it sucks. Hard.
THEN TAKE A CLASS.
Sounds awfuly complex for "easily fixed". These things are still a bad idea.

Ever heard of rounding?
I wonder if anyone has ever told you that you're a complete moron.
If all everyone did was to spend money on starving kids, then the whole world would be full of starving kids.
Actually, you should kill yourself, sell your organs for money and send that money to Africa.
I'm just curious to know if your mother knows you're a pedantic idiot?
He was just trying to prove a point.

Wow, you're a genius. Too bad that's not at all what the parent poster was talking about.

If it's just a firmware issue, then why hasn't anyone tried to modify the firmware. Just curious. Is the firmware not flashable?

Could we PLEASE not start a hacker pissing war here? Because that is exactly what your comment is gonna do.
"I'm more leet than you are! Na na na na!"
I disagree,
That's nice.
they could have at least launched a rescue to get the astronauts off of the shuttle and onto another vehicle.
No they couldn't. There wasn't another vehicle available.
