a guy with weather baloons in a lawnchair? nope, I don't think so
Can't speak for the rest of them, but this happened. I've seen a bit on a tv show that talked about it once(tv, must be true;)) that interviewed both the guy and an airline pilot that saw him and reported it.
Every place on earth that certain conditions exist, there is life. The moon is sterile and does not have these conditions. We are finding more and more places that harbor life. Thermal vents in the ocean that are greater than 212F. I watched a PBS special tonight that explained how several of the caves near Carlsbad cavern where created by sulfuric acid which was the by product of microbes that ate oil. It's going to be interesting to see what's in the bottom of the lake in Antartica.
Whether your into Creation, Spontaneous Evolution or Seeding there are places on these moons for life to live and prosper.
This is very prevelent in large corporations. Mid level managers get a certain appropriation for that years projects. If they don't use it all, they risk not getting the same amount in next years budget.

Perhaps you are aware of this invention called "books"? They've never seemed to need any of this shit.
A book takes many months to write. It is thought out, edited and (usually)long.
On the other hand, we are having a conversation. If we were face to face, I might move my hands, make facial expressions and change tones. Emoticoms are the online forum equivilent of such:p
This would be about average business(er, enterprise) users? The costs I was talking about are the per seat TCO from this point of view.
I'd think Ghost or something similar would be a little easier than upgrading every machine over night. I don't do mass rollouts of hardware or upgrades, so I'll take your word that RH would be easier.
you all the software you need to write your report, build web pages, run a server (several of them, http, irc, smb, etc.), etc, etc, etc.
The average 'business user' doesn't need most of the servers etc. That's another peeve of mine. I just downloaded and installed the latest Redhat, It's 3 CD's(way too much bloat).
AND you only need to BUY IT ONCE
The article is discussing subscription services. The $199 is for the professional version and the accompanying support, documentation etc. for One System. Companies like to have all of those things for training etc. I'm not sure the TCO difference is great enough to have a whole staff switch from something they have used and know for the past 7 years.
We're getting there; I just don't see this move by Redhat as the one that is going to win over the Big Wigs.
The only way I can see this happening is if the subscriptions are really cheap
This is the problem I see with a lot of distributions. You can download for Free, or you can pay $199 for the Professional Version with support. Saving the $100 over XP is just not worth it to an IT staff.
I can see a subscriptions for business, but I hope we never see the day that we have to subscribe to the majority of apps on our PC's.
I think it was the price of the media that killed them. You could buy them in packs of 5 for cheaper, but they were basically $10 bucks and never got cheaper over several years. Had they dropped in price like 3.5's and CD's they may have more ubiquitous.
Books and documentation sites are great for reference, but I like to see code, expand upon and snip it. Planet Source Code has a bunch nicely organized with user ratings.
But that's not always a problem. In some situations, where outsiders don't wander round offices, this can be a good technique. If the office is "secure", writing down passwords is fine. This can certainly be put to good effect in the home.
How about giving workers a 4 or 5 digit pin that is easily remembered and combine that with a printed genertated password that is passed out each month. Solves both problems.
These opt out lists are becomming more common. When they make it to your State(Or Nationally), take the time to register your parents and expecially grandparents. These telemarketers pray ont he elderly.
I bought one of these nifty things at Wally World a couple of weeks ago. Great reading/camping light. It has 2 LED's in white plastic tubes that mimic flourescent.

I think once we finally get to one of these places we'll find that life thrives Everywhere.
Yes, that is an 8x2 and they are available. I was pricing these a while back and their $500-$600 minumum:(

PopUpCop blocks Flash animations. I'm sure some of the other anti-popup progs do this too. You can run them if you like by clicking on them.

Use Microsoft books as an example of how not to do it.
Report them to Sony.
This site has not been Slashdotted yet, but it sure will be funny when it does.
