Two would not have nearly enough genetic diversity to form a viable breeding population. I would suspect you would need several dozen for that at the very least, and that would be with controlled breeding to ensure as few inbreeding events as possible.
If we discover a large meteor heading straight towards Earth, we might only have a few months to get a rocket up and detonate the target off its course. All other missions pale in comparison to one that could save humanity. I don't think we should focus on particular missions within our solar system, so much as the ability to launch a successful ground-to-asteroid mission within weeks, if need be...
The classic game Starflight used a fractal generation technique to populate the galaxy and create planet surfaces as I recall. They fit an incredible amount of depth into a game that fit on two low density 5.25" floppies and that was part of the way they did it.
From the TFA: "Chandler maintains that locking down the OS saves money for security in the long run. 'There's an opportunity that this [solution] could be a cost savings for enterprises, with all that is spent on intrusion prevention' and other security tools and efforts, he says."
I'm not so sure I'd trust ANY OS without also having other security checks and intrusion detection in place. Sounds like bad advice wrapped around marketingspeak to me.
The anthropic princple in general just says that the Universe is the way it is because if it were not nobody would be here to see it. That does not imply that it was 'made for us', it just means that because we are seeing it, conditions are the way they are.
I've seen the same figure in numerous write ups. Here is but one example. Excerpt:
"So how has this strategy panned out for the gamemaker's first third-party-published title, Ironclad Games' Sins of a Solar Empire? As reported by gaming trade site Gamasutra, Sins of a Solar Empire has surpassed 400,000 units at retail, with another 100,000 units digitally distributed through Stardock's online store, since the PC game went on sale in February. That's not a bad figure, considering Sins reportedly cost under $1 million to make.
You're kidding, right? Mankind has raped and pillaged nature as far back as we can extrapolate. You spin a pleasant fantasy but that's all it is; fantasy.
Oh come on, you can run Crysis with half that number of cores and only 2 gig of video RAM. This card is obviously being built because of the impending release of Duke Nukem Forever.
I didn't say I agreed with it, but like it or not that's the mentality of most CIO's. Hopefully as the crusty old bastards retire and die off the mentality will change.
Yep, I've seen the same thing many times. That was my point. I'd say a sizeable minority of Blackberry 'failures' are people angling to upgrade to the latest greatest model.
Any game that you need to have a friend who plays in order to learn it is poorly designed. Eve has many great strenghts; playability and learning curve are not among them.
Everyone else will be a corporate shill more interested in funneling money back to their own products.
Which is exactly the kind of person who will be appointed. You don't really buy the 'new politics' crap do you? Lobbyists and high level corporate officers will remain the pool from which most appointments are drawn.
Linus doesn't line anyone's pockets in Washington.

I might have finally signed up in '97 or '98. Like I said, '1999ish' and I've been too lazy to search and find out because I don't really care :)

Don't fret so much. There's always Bruce Willis.
1999ish sounds about right. I was around before that but that was around the time I decided to get an ID.
I can't find it now but I clearly remember first seeing that figure in an interview with Stardock's CEO.

The NT kernel isn't the problem really. They don't need a new kernel, they just need far better auditing of the attendant software that surrounds it.

I find your new paradim aligns well with my plans. I would like to subscribe to your blog.
I would rather take a nice walk in the park and feed sqiuirrels
But 'Safari' sounds a lot cooler than 'Bag of Peanuts' as a name for a browser.

Except standard units is another term for US or 'English' units. Your attempt at pedantry fails.
Yes, metric is the accepted international standard. No, what GP referred to was not 'the standard' but what is known as 'standard units'.
Only if you turn Aero off.

When an enterprise deploys office software they want at least some kind of support from the vendor.
Yep, I've seen the same thing many times. That was my point. I'd say a sizeable minority of Blackberry 'failures' are people angling to upgrade to the latest greatest model.
Not to mention that most Blackberry users have devices paid for by their employer. The majority of iPhone users buy their own phones.

Some people work with/on Solaris and wouldn't mind taking it with them on the road.

That is correlation, not causation.
