What kind of problem could cause this serious destruction of the OS installation?
I'll guess it's registry corruption, since they rely on a single point of failure. Mess up one single entry, and the entire system is toast.
If it' file system corruption, that shows a serious lack of debugging effort. If the file system is this broken, how could you fail to notice it earlier?
As I understand it, the real problem is that a service mission would cost more than a replacement for the Hubble; which would have better optics, improved insturments, better reliability, etc.
There you go! You've placed all the blaim on Bush! And without a single link to any actual fact! Now you should be able to get an American paper interested enough in publishing a short article on a back page. Now, if you could add the phrase "empeach Bush", then it might move up to one of the earlier pages. And if you could come up with a newer silly name for Bush, instead of one of the overly time worn versions, then you might actually get on the front page!
Don't forget to include a "America is the most evil country ever" bit, to really stick it to the front page.
You must realize by now, that if the press can't blaim some problem directly on G. W. Bush, or on the Republican party, then it isn't worth publishing. Give them a while before they find something to smear Bush with, then they might publish something about it. Otherwise, they are not intrested in it, at all.
Why doesn't one of the game console makers take their favorite processor, and add 8 GPU's to it. Maybe join forces with a large cpu maker, like IBM. They could give it one of those silly names, like "cell processor" and make a game console based on it. If it could run Linux, and folding@home, that would really be a bonus.
Everyone on slashdot would surely want one of these, even if it were a little overpriced.
only if the hp thugs leave things like burnt teddie bears or roses dripping blood on her doorstep, hide in the bushes and masturbate, call her and hang up all the time, steal her unwashed underwear and wear them on their faces, and write her long, rambling emotional emails that don't make much sense
Is it just me, or does this seem to be overly detailed? Sounds like someone with a great deal of experience. Maybe we sould sic HP on them, just to be careful.
When I was in grade school (about 1970 or so), I was told that there was a maximum of 10 years of oil left, and we were looking at a serious case of global cooling. Since these scientists couldn't be wrong (they were surely as accurate as the current croud), we've been out of oil for the last 25 years, and are suffering from much colder weather than normal.
If you modify the program to use a 2 digit year, like most people write on their checks, you can get a lot of new dates to be frightened of. Of course, the conversion from julian to gregorian dates messes up the algorithm.
If you read the Wikipedia article quoted, you will note that not all countries switched to the gregorian calander at the same time. Russia held out until the 1900's. However, none of the dates in the range would meet the./ criteria.

Just go to downtown New York, and you can buy your genuine moonrocks from the same guy that sells those genuine Rolex watches.
Are there any details on this bug?

Since no-one-else will add the obvious:
...Natile Portman and her razer...
Imagine a beowulf cluster of these...
All your razers are belong to us...
In soviot russia, you shave razers ???
Pour hot grits down your razer...
and an unnecessary goatse.cx link
640 blades should be enough for everyone.
There is a worldwide need for only 2 razers.
Are your razer blades extended, or expanded?
These razer blades are connected together by tubes...

Sorry, but Clinton left.
All an intern can get nowadays is e-mail discussions of being molested.
You got the number of years totally wrong.
When I was in grade school (about 1970 or so), I was told that there was a maximum of 10 years of oil left, and we were looking at a serious case of global cooling. Since these scientists couldn't be wrong (they were surely as accurate as the current croud), we've been out of oil for the last 25 years, and are suffering from much colder weather than normal.
For such a small explosion, I doubt their device functioned properly, so any radiation would likely be:
1. Nuclear material scattered around by a conventional explosion. (Are they working on a dirty bomb, or accidently made one?)
2. Ground up material strewn about by NK to make it look like their bomb actually did something.
If you modify the program to use a 2 digit year, like most people write on their checks, you can get a lot of new dates to be frightened of. Of course, the conversion from julian to gregorian dates messes up the algorithm.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Date::Calc qw( Add_Delta_Days Day_of_Week );
my $MAX_YEAR=3000;
my @date = (1,1,1);
sub summer { $a = 0; foreach (@_) { $a += $_ } $a }
while( $date[0] $MAX_YEAR ) {
@date = Add_Delta_Days( @date, 1 );
if( $date[2] == 13
&& Day_of_Week( @date ) == 5
&& summer( split '', sprintf( "%04d-%02d-%02d", $date[0] % 100,$date[1],$date[2] ) ) == 13
) {
printf( "%04d-%02d-%02d\n", @date );
}
}

How do they come up lost productivity statistics anyway?
Add digits of $900 million and Friday the 13th, and you get 13! See, there is your proof!
It depends on where you are. Different countries changed over at different dates. And some places use different calendars yet.
Other fun things to try
"void main"
"i=i--"
"j=j++"
"int main(char"
"don't do this at home"
This is just further proof that global warming exists, and is caused by SUV's.
I'd prefer launching cows in homage to Monty Python and the Holy Grail,
How about flinging trojan rabbits?
No, they dropped the vibrator function.
Strange and charmed?
It would still be cool to watch a jogger try to turn a corner, and flipping over as a result.
It's the "other" white meat.
What's for dinner?
Maybe the wildlife is trying to let us in on what the Dolphins already know?
Am I missing something in the article, or do the dolphins actually lay eggs on airborne cables?
You'll have 1 desk, one 13" monitor, with three programmers crowded around it.
An the PHB will have a 36" monitor to himself for freecell.
