Does this sentence mean what it says, taken from this:
" The crawler-transporters are impressive machines, built on site in the mid 1960s to move Saturn 5 moon rockets from the VAB to the launch pad.", I quess it does, because there's another sentence saying "Apollo-era".
If yes, are you amazed that it has cracked bearings if it has been sitting in a garage for 40 years? Could it be time ermm.. upgrade?:)
> That doesn't preclude the fact that your grammar sux0rs. The sentences you wrote in Spanish and French are incorrect as well
Yeah, and actually, I can only speak - VERY badly - english, swedish and german as foreign language. So the rest was there just to make it look fancy. Anyway, I am supposed to know the meaning of possessives. It is just easy to go wrong when you do not think what you type, when I type fast and without checking I tend to type as it "sounds", and as my spoken english sounds terrible, you get the result:)) Let's conclude this: IT'S A SHAME:)
> please learn the difference between its (possessive) and it's (it is).

> I thought that ESA, the European Space Agency, had sent one also
ESA is just preparing it's first trip to moon, it's project called SMART-1. It's going to travel to moon, but the key of the project is to test the new propulsion system, which is planned to be used for much longer trips.

What is so anti-mac about saying that MacOSX has minimal market share? So does vi, but I still like it. And all "Linux" browsers suck monkey's ass compared to Internet Explorer, Opera or Mozilla on Windows, well links and lynx might make be better. Still I rather run the suckier ones on Linux. I have nothing against MacOSX either.

Selecting Gecko for MacOSX is just a good market trick. It's market share is minimal, and I have understood the users (exactly one that I know) of MacOSX are already used to not being able to view everything similarly as the majority. Therefore, no-one looses, and AOL gets credit.
> $30 is enough that it would discourage people from doing it casually
I agree with this point, but still the cost is rather greedy. If they wanted to just discourage people from changing their character's name, there's other ways to do it.
Then again, a $30 dollars extra is not much, if you buyed an 3l33t account from ebay, and paid $400 for it. And also, I quess the MMMMMMMORPGS are here to make money, I just simply envy them for being able to pull such fortunes out of twiddling with 32 bytes for 1 microsecond.:)))
> Would you rather pay $150-$200 for a game and not have monthly charges, or pay $40 for a game and $12.95 a month to play it?
No. if I start to play some MMORPG, I tend to do it for a long time until there is not much to see, do or try. I will eagerly pay the monthly cost if that makes sure that the server exists also tomorrow. If there is no monthly cost, it usually means that the server gets hosted by a third party, whose main business is somewhere else - and as that third party does not have much incentive to keep the service running, it is easy to shut it down.
What would be best, I think, would be that the game was freely downloadable without any cost, and if you want to develop your characters (play for longer than a few fays test-period), then you would have to start paying a subscription fee.
In Ultima Online, you can now change your character name, which was previously fixed. But, quess what, it costs $29.99. Can you believe it!! A simple DB query, I believe. Sheesh.
Remember this, year 1992?
"Digital Equipment unveils the 150-MHz Alpha 21064 64-bit microprocessor". That was kind of one checkpoint, this year, I believe might be another.

I can answer myself now, as dmiller put it clearly in another thread:
" In addition to the already-mentioned resolution independance. This API would allow an X server to implement hardware acceleration of the rendering. I don't know if any cards support acceleration of spline decompisition, but just about everyone supports hardware-assisted polygon filling, which means many fewer pixels go over the wire (or SHM segment). "
As I, (and I believe 96 percent of/. users, atleast those date to say it), dont know even closely enough about this field to understand the reasoning for this development work,
could someone in a clear and simple say how does this make the life of the developers easier? Why was is this done? I quess there was something that was previously harder to do?

I do not believe that any, well argumented, IT purchase will be left undone if it has business sense. The difference is that before the "fall" everything could have business sense, even those ideas that you yourself considered somewhat insane had potentially some potential, because there was always someone who thought they could make some easy quick money with it. Many did. Also, at that point, companies had extra fat to spend on those adventures. And to even by the world's smallest, fastest and sexiest laptop for every nerd so that they can watch pron.
Now, it is just not considered as magic anymore (like in add sulphurous ash, ginseng and garlic and dot com) but is on same line as any investment, just where it should be.
Here is some MHP products, just to give an idea what it is concretely about. How concrete it is, is another question, there is not-so-little of chicken-egg dilemma.
I quess Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft and other game console manufacturers are already planning when to start production of devices which combine them all, and also develop remote applications (like office tools). Is this Microsoft's worst nightmare actually? Switching to another office suite, for example, is much more simpler if it does not require any installation but is done over network instead. Maybe this was another reason why they jumped into game console business.

If 42 persons, who want SOMETHING and their NAME, written on Slashdot, post an article about fish baits you instantly turn the site into a fishing portal. Great service, our feedback matters! If an article contains the words "nuclear" and "worm" it has gotta be interesting, right? It would be interesting to know how many of these submissions were posted under "security".

Point us to a better ONE - image that is? Here's the FAQ anyway.
This one is particularly good: about binary space partition tree.

> Linux in a cashier? Does that mean they will soon install linux into pimply faced teenagers working down at the local McDonald's?
In more civilized countries we have these things called automatic cashiers so the word "cashier" does not anymore mean just human beings. Spooky, ehh?
> Maybe we can install Linux in your penis so it will have a constant uptime and I won't be forced to continually fuck your wife.
Good idea, for you I suggest just lowering your clock speed, seems like its getting too hot.
