water vapor is invisible until it condenses. and at ground level it takes an awful lot of water vapor to be visible. and it isnt generally visible for very long at ground level. thats why when you boil water, its visible for maybe a second or two, then disappates.
well ask yourself why you're breathing out WATER VAPOR, but its not making huge clouds every time you breathe? because it ain't condensing, bucko.
it'll condense in winter, but the air is very cold then.
tah dah. basic gradeschool physics.
your tinfoil hat needs adjusting, as well as your basic education.
"The pictures released by the Chinese media appear to be forged (I'm no rocket scientist, no pun intended), don't rockets typically have some form of a visable exhaust cloud/contrail?"
nope. liquid fueled. look at the visible exhaust cloud from the shuttle's main engines. or rather, don't, because there isn't any.
there are also plenty of film of american launches of purely liquid fueled rockets with no visible exhaust cloud.
you do notice there's a contrail later, when the rocket gets high enough that water vapor from the liquid fueled rocket condenses in the cold air.
take your conspiracy theories elsewhere, and your tinfoil hat too.
Cuz Solaris runs on x86 which most definitely does not have register windows;)
It's a cool architecture, but huge l1/l2 caches have dramatically reduced the justification for register windows. Not to mention that l1/l2 caches are infinitely more useful as general purpose.
Register windows might have made sense back in FPM memory days when your typical L2 cache was 64k. But we're now pushing past 1m L2 caches... and QDR is just round the corner...
yes, i was thinking valve but typed nerve. any fuckwit could have made that connection after i mentioned gabe newell. it was beyond your feeble comprehension i guess.
but if your life sucks so much that you need to 'tattle' about an obvious typo to make yourself feel better, then go ahead and perform your mental masturbation on planetwolfenstein.
who said he was providing a service in exchange for money? the way i read it, he was talking about his own personal PC with his own personal accounts (or accounts for his personal friends).
you have no legal right - period - to intrude on personal private property in order to sales pitch.
so it goes on their credit history as an unpaid legal judgement against them.
that really fucks up their credit rating... and will hurt them far more than a $199 refund ever could. typical shady company will have a very difficult time as long as the unpaid judgement remains on their record.
XFS is not mature... not in linux anyway

The core XFS might have been mature in IRIX but it most definitely is not in Linux.
XFS is still not a fully linux-native fs, it is IRIX code pasted into Linux through a special translation layer. And thats where most of the problems arise, as it has to translate IRIX-isms to Linux-isms.
I work at an ISP and I can give you our data points.
ext2/ext3 filesystems trashed beyond repair : 4-6 per year XFS filesystems trashed beyond repair : 3 (100% failure rate at which point we stopped using it altogether) reiserfs filesystems trashed at all : zero NTFS filesystems trashed at all : zero
At this point we have 90% of our systems on reiserfs and have zero trashed data or filesystems.

where's all the smoke?
months eh? so you should be able to provide a citation dated around july?

they had no idea it was a manned mission, the fact caught everyone by suprise.
did you see ANYONE reporting a chinese manned mission before october?
i reiterate -- the secrecy worked well.

they accomplished it pretty well, didn't they?
the whole project and launch caught the west totally by suprise.
type "linux reiserfs" when booting the installer, and you will have access to reiserfs during redhat install.
i've been using this method for ~2 years now.
...public payphones
HP has been doing exactly this (except claim 16,17) since the 1970s.
Nice prior art...
Solaris? I think you mean Sparc.
;)

gabe newell, head of nerve, worked for microsoft in various senior positions for 13 years...
they are already talking about making HL2 an xbox-exclusive title, locking out PS2 etc.
how friendly to linux do YOU think they could possibly be?
...this is news?
i've been a juror in civil cases, as have friends of mine. i can state first hand there IS a jury in civil law.

are they still readable?
yes or no.
i *had* several panasonic phase change drives.
the media and technology is shit. period. it died off for good reason.
every single one of the discs died within a year with unrecoverable errors under even light occasional use.
even the crappiest CDR/RW technology I have seen is light years beyond that panasonic phase change crap.
ps i still have the drive and dead media sitting around, if anyone wants to buy it cheap...
too bad for you we werent talking about getting a refund from MS, but rather a refund from a vendor.
How blind.
ha ha ha!
