  1. Nitpicking, I know... on The Art of Aerobraking · · Score: 4, Informative
    This is all explained in terms of the Mars Global Surveyor craft that is expected to do its orbital insertion on October 23.

    Actually, it's the Mars Oddessy craft that's about to perform aerobraking, the Global Surveyor has been in Mars orbit for several years now.

    Wine is an implementation of the Win32 API using native Linux (or FreeBSD or whatever) system calls. MOL is a virtual machine type affair. The main difference is in things like the way wine can display Windows windows (erm...) as part of the Linux desktop, instead of having one seperate window for the entire Windows desktop (although you can do that as well, if you want)

    I think it means that any machine can act as a server and/or client for any given service (in theory), not the more recent use of the phrase.

    Yeah, absolutely right. I checked some of the sites that were hammering my machine, and all but one of them had the default IIS page stating that the user had not yet created a website.
