    Wow! Did you try Mandrake? EASY! EASIER than Win XP! Much easier!
    This tasks are awfully good managed by mandrake installer and configuration!
    Mandrake is right now the best Linux distro I ever saw.

    A pity, 3 years ago I talked to some contractors that did controllers for coal electrical plant (in USA). They were actually forced to use NT for that!
    And they liked that, donkeys!

    Actually, it's possible.
    And I know how.
    1) Post your suggestions for a chick on a web board that chicks read
    2) Wait for chicks
    3) Start a small programming project
    4) Convince replying chicks to take part in that project.
    Volia!

  7. Re:Impact on *nix platforms on Apache Vulnerability Announced · · Score: 1

    you really should be running "no-root" system, i.e. RSBAC (www.rsbac.de) or SElinux, with Mandatory Access control. There even if somebody gets root - he gets nothing - roots rights are controlled by other user - security officer and its login is separate and only be done, for example, from console.

  8. Re:Ozone Depletion not Global Warming on Baked Alaska · · Score: 1

    No. You are wrong.
    And I am giving a link proving I am right:
    Here it is
    You can see that oxygen + energy becomes ozone
    so ozone in athmosphere really can be a byproduct of cosmic rays bombarding oxygen.

  9. Re:Ozone Depletion not Global Warming on Baked Alaska · · Score: 1

    Exotermic? Hmm.. I think you're wrong.
    O3 is highly unstable and destructs to 2O3 -> 3O2 with energy exhaust. So AFAIK 3O2 -> 2O3 is endothermic, not exothermic.

    May be we'll create long range tractor beams from the teleporting laser beams?

  13. Re:Ozone Depletion not Global Warming on Baked Alaska · · Score: 1

    It's my small IMHO, but as far as I know there is plasma, not gas in stratosfere, and reactions can go a little different there.
    I never mentioned O+O -> O2, I think there should be
    O+O+O -> O3; this should be highly endothermical and
    energy can be drawn from quants of high energy rays.

  14. Re:Ozone Depletion not Global Warming on Baked Alaska · · Score: 1

    That theory say that reactions can go different way:
    3*O2 + 3hv -> 6*O(atomic, live only in stratosfere for long) -> 2*O3
    so we have Ozone from Oxygen after bombarding O2...

    "must meet certain tolerances"
    this mean only that builders (developers) will try to make that tolerances as small as possible, as we can see in US architecture...

    There is a theory that ozone is actually not a shield from radiation, but a simple byproduct of reaction between athmosphere oxygen and cosmic rays.
