When it comes to how much resources a particular use can, well use, PAM is your friend. It can limit data, ram usage, CPU time, number of processes, and user priority.
I'm pretty sure what he was describing was a water rocket, wtih a catapult to launch it. I.e. the catapult give the rocket some initial spped and the compressed water shooting out of the rocket give it enough spped to get to 15,000. Not saying that this makes it a good, or workable idea, but I don't think he is thinking of just catapulting people 15,000 feet.
IANARS(Rocket Scientist) but what about model rockets? Where's the complicated control? Is there something fundamentally different(The posistion og the center of gravity maybe)?
Here is one summary of the population figures. I believe more recent studies lower these figures even further. Meaning that fertility is expect to decline even fast than was thought, and we might see maximum population sometime between 2050-2080, with a max somewhere around 10 million. Population will not grow exponentially, infact it never has. If you look at the last 2000 years and the population estimates we have, a linear function is a much better fit. I beleive Julian Simon has written about these long term population trends.
Remember, bredding humans is more complicated than breeding bacteria.
I'll add a fifth type, people who think others who don't agree with them are ignorant, without giving other reasons. You make no significant points with any evidence, and then decend into an ad hominem attack, how convincing.
Do yourself a favor, llok at some real numbers in a Julian Simon book...

Blender Goes Open Source

I haven't used Blender, but to say the interface is intuitive after using Blender for a length of time makes zero sense. Almost any programs interface is easy if you use it for a long period of time, that doesn't make the interface good, and it certainly doesn't make it intuitive.
It would seem to me that "the learning curve is steep" and "the interface is extremely intuitive" are two very contradictory remarks.
Poor them. They are lucky that people should send customers their way. It boogles me that these site complain about have eye-balls sent to their sites.
There is probably still a gap, but remember, with digital photo, you only print or save the good pictures. Now I don't know what the average yeild is, but I know people who are lucky to get 1 usable picture for every four they take...
pcAnywhere type thing? You haven't looked very hard if you haven't run across VNC, look it up.

Discovering Columbus

Maybe you're just disagreeing to have fun, but the fact is that Columbus' visit was the one that caused a huge change in the world. When would the America's have been colonized if Columbus hadn't done it? Maybe around the same time, I don't know if there were other explorers pitching the same thing. But it doesn't matter that the phone would have been invented at exactly the same time if Bell hadn't been born, we still celebrate him as the inventor.
In my experience password expiration just forces you to pick memorable passwords. I have several passwords thatt haven't changed in years, but they are secure by most definitions, 8 chars, upper lowercase and numbers. They would be impossible to remember except that I have been using them for years. The only thing password expiration protects against is limiting the damage of a password which has already been compromised.

You could do the same thing woth out clockwork by making the gear ratio between the handle and the generator greater than it is now..
A door? And a lock!?!?... wow
The most important difference is that 3.1 does a much better job at c++, which makes a huge difference in KDE
Use a log server with only syslog running and the append-only filesystem flag set. With few services running a remote root exploit would be difficult.

Of course the article is about how uptime is too expensive, I guess this proves the point...
Yes, but other countries are shrinking. And as countries become more developed there fertility will decrease.

Can't the pictures just be downloaded seperately and then printed with a proper photo program?
Did ask Slashdot just become tech support?

That is too bad, about the stuff not being availible. I've been there a couple times and it was OK. Oh well..
