You're wrong.
Lately the Russians admitted on
a space congress in the USA that Laika died of overheating after about 2-3 orbits.
The news appeared also some time ago on Slashdot too:

The distributed RC5-64 effort is interesting and has some useful results.
The Kernel-speech broadcast is just a "cool"
thing, but not a smart one. Indeed:
- in 600 days - more than an year - the Linux kernel team ships out one or more subversions
- listening experience will be surely boring!
- it's just a plain waste of bandwidth.
Bye!
Just a bit OT follows: the dogs didn't offered
themselves as volounteers for the experiments.
It's easy to take the easier way and do nasty
things like vivisection just to comply with
our human needs.
IMHO.
I'm using my 56k flat rate Internet access here. If I start to no stop downloading at maximum KB/sec rate
allowed by my modem, I don't understand why I could not do it.
Surely ISPs base their bandwidth buyings on statistical models, as "average" user downloads say 2 KB/sec
every 2 minutes.
If I've payed for bandwidth, I've all the right to use it! If I lend some payed bandwidth to someone else, it's only a my affair.
Of course if legal bandwidth contract with my ISP doesn't allow me to lend some bandwidth to someone else, this is a different question.
A good method to create strong password I known is named "passphrase".
People think a phrase (a statement) with 4-6 words and get the first (or latter, as you wish) chars off the words.
For example:
phrase: my linux box is equipped with an athlon 850
Using the first 1 char, you get: mlbiewaa8
which is a "strong" password but easy to remember.;-)

Italian pharmacy shops sell only pre-packaged boxes.

Andrea Arcangeli is Italian. And in Italy "Andrea" is a male name. Other hint: he's a guy. Confirmed by an Italian slashdot user :-)

Please mod down this awful thing! I don't understand why people with so great drawing skills wastes them with such awesome rubbish!

My 2 cents.
