If it hast to be the size of Europa, IO, or our own Luna to qualify as a moon, then Mars has no moon. Both are the size of Cruithne.
The only qualifications for a moon that I'm aware of is that an object has to be a satellite (that is to say, that it orbits another body), and that it is natural.
I think you're confusing him with Christopher Lloyd. Montalban was never on a Klingon ship - it was Corinthian leather on the Reliant. Lloyd demanded one of those beaded seat covers on his chair...
OK, now I'm confused. Is someone a liberal just because they question their government, and that government is considered conservative? Are all true conservatives then people who blindly accepts what their conservative government tells them?
Or you could read the article and see that it is lambasting the Chicken Little scenario this guy is spouting. A couple weeks ago, they blasted Richard Clarke, the White House Cyber-Security Czar, for saying things like "A digital Pearl Harbor happens every day."
No thanks, I'm not a fan of monochrome jelly. I'm waiting on the $1400 6-color jellyjet printer, so I can print out my vacation photos on my morning toast.
they are complicated geometric shapes, perfect shapes at that
You mean like that big triangle that is shown on every TV show about crop circles? You know the one: it's off center and has the one bent side.
If you make enough of these things, you do get better, but to say that they are perfect shapes is stretching. It's seeing what one wants to see, and not what's there.
Of course a corporation is owned by people. That doesn't mean those people have any say in what the corporation as a whole does. A corporation is also an aggregation of people. And people will do things in groups that they would never consent to do in the absence of authority or social hegemony.
But worse, is that in this country, corporations have the same legal status as a person, without all the baggage of responsibility. Corporations aren't automatically evil. But we have created a legal atmosphere that makes it easy to step over the line of ethics.
But I digress. The point is that there are corporations that are actively seeking to legislatively limit freedom for all, just for the sake of protecting their revenue against the crimes of a few.
No there won't. I'll turn TV off permanently before I endure that crap.
Actually, I'll give it a month, and diligently note every company that takes advantage of this, and I'll make sure to let them know that their annoying practice just cost them a customer.
If TPTB say they intend to continue with this annoying practice after that month, I will be tuning out.
There are some shows in widescreen format that have similar notices that show up in the black space at the bottom of the screen. Like you describe, they last only a few seconds, and only show up after a commercial break.
Linux can easily run on a 486/66 doing webserving. But I wouldn't run any web server or desktop of any kind with only 32 MB of memory - and I run NT 4 and 2000 at work - on a PII 300 with 256 MB.
By the way - my firewall is a 386. Great performance. And I'm running Gentoo on a Hewlett Packard 200MMX. Runs X 4.2 and Gnome 2. It's just fine. Granted it has 96MB of memory.

I hear there's some really good calamari on Cruithne. Some weird blue loop that seems to lead to other universes too, but mainly, good calamari.
Well, none of them will be "instant". And forget about gaming - the network latency between Earth and Mars is going to be a bitch.
Luckily, I'm atheist. If they try to monitor me, all they'll get is static.
They say toner ink is a possible carcinogen, article is simply FUD.
I noticed you don't have evidence to the contrary. Comparing toner ink to asbestos and drawing a conclusion on its toxicity is bad logic.
As with broken parts or just parts, do the following: launch them in a rocket and put it in space.
Here's why we don't launch our garbage into space:
"That will be $300,000 to throw away that computer sir. Would you like a receipt?"
Just think of the US Code as a kind of unabridged Rules of Acquisition.
Jehovah has issued a cease-and-desist letter to Toho demanding that they stop using "God" in the name "Godzilla"
Already happened, and it was Drew Carey.

X isn't the problem. XFree86 is the problem.

$600 laser toaster with jellyjet printer, anyone?

Vorgons??! Crap, the Vorlons and Vogons have been hybridized! We're screwed!

They must be on the level...right?
Right?
Neat-looking site plus buzzwords equals credibility, doesn't it?

That's still far more difficult than Windows - run the installer and reboot.
Ok how about this - download the binary driver, and modprobe?
The first part is no different then what you face in Windows, modprobe is equivalent to installation, and there is no reboot.
It's obvious now, and the worst that can happen is they will be tried in a court and convicted. Oh, wait that already happened...
25 hours a day? What planet are you on??
Last I checked the day ran a little shy of 24 hours on Earth.
I saw no reference of being able to kill anyone. Did I read the same article? (yes I read the article)
...snip...
But no mention of pushing a button.
Then you must have started in the middle. It's clearly mentioned in the first two paragraphs.
there was a deadline for Linux to be considered a success.
I also didn't realize that Evolution was "pretty much like a standard Windows desktop."
And apparently graphical == "better".
