Wikipedia is a peer-directed project to create a group of online encyclopedias in every major language. Founded in 2001, Wikipedia grew exponentially in its first 4 to 5 years. It is the world's largest encyclopedia project and one of the most popular sites on the Internet.[1] The English-language Wikipedia is the world's largest single wiki and contains more than two million articles.

Citizendium (pronounced/stzndim/ "a citizens' compendium of everything") is an English-language online wiki-based free encyclopedia project spearheaded by Larry Sanger, co-founder of Wikipedia.[1][2] The project aims to improve on the Wikipedia model by requiring all contributors to do so with their real names, by strictly moderating the project for unprofessional behaviors, and by providing what it calls "gentle expert oversight" of everyday contributors. A main feature of the project is its "approved articles", which have each undergone a form of peer-review by credentialed topic-experts and are closed to real-time editing. The project was first (late 2006) envisioned as a complete "fork" of the English Wikipedia,[3] but the project abandoned that idea prior to its March 2007 public launch to emphasize its own original articles. As of October 2007, the project had over 3,000 articles.[4]
"You do realize that the majority of Windows machines are sold as a system, not as bits and pieces. It's a fairly small subset of the population that builds their own computers."
You've never been to Asia, I take it.
Fight the crowd...sit down...fill out a form...get a quote and wait briefly while the girls/boys in the back build your box to order:
- case
- motherboard
- power supply
- ram
- HD(s)
- optical drive
- cards
- k'board/mouse
- monitor
From Hong Kong to Shenzhen - Shanghai to Beijing. And this is just China. Thousands & thousands of computers are built every working hour, from South Korea to Vietnam, specifically according to user wishes and specials 'o the day.
The Asia configured assembly line boxes generally go to businesses.
"researchers have developed a low-cost, low-power computer memory that could put terabyte-sized thumb drives in consumers' pockets within a few years"
Screw consumers - think of the reviewers!
That should give fresh momentum to the "how much is too much?" swag topic taco seems to love so much...heaven forbid we should walk too close to the edge on that one.
Lavish swag (swag by definition is lavish, eh?) is far from new - and far from news, making this topic a non-starter. And on the weekend when Leopard has been turned loose - tsk, tsk.
And how 'bout those Rockies??!! Are they choke central, or what?
"...most of the crew time is tied up just keeping the thing working. "
From your link: "NASA is currently studying this issue, and few details are available at this time."...making your statement an assumption based on predictions - aka anecdotal, versus recorded/live dialog that occurred today.
In addition, I'm chagrined you insist on ignoring the role of ground crews and autonomous systems (Soyuz's ability to dock without manual control from the ground or the ISS). You seem to have this Machiavellian bent that puts responsibility for the entire ISS operation on airborne crews. Yeah...that's a sober position.
Need more? How about a log from Monday,
20 November 2006 (Day 324):
14:30-15:34 - ESA astronaut
and ISS Flight Engineer no. 2 Thomas Reiter, together with his two colleagues,
American astronaut and ISS Commander Michael Lopez-Alegria and Russian
cosmonaut and ISS Flight Engineer no. 1 Mikhail Tyurin, will be woken
up at 14:30. This time will be dedicated to the Station inspection,
the morning toilet and breakfast.
15:34-15:49 - Reiter will
carry out a radio contact with the AMATEUR RADIO ON ISS (ARISS) equipment.
ARISS, is an international working group of volunteering amateur radio
operators specialised in satellite telecommunications, aimed at building,
developing and maintaining the amateur radio activity, using the radio
station on board the ISS. During this session the ESA astronaut will
execute a live radio contact with the winning classes of the ESA/DLR
competition "Ich will's wISSen" at the Landesmuseum für Technik
und Arbeit in Mannheim, Germany.
15:49-16:15 - Thomas Reiter
will have this time to complete his morning post-sleep activities.
16:15-19:30 - Following
an unallocated period of time, Reiter will exercise for a period of
90 minutes on the Resistive Exercise Device (RED), which is located
in the 'ceiling' of Node 1. The exercise equipment is made up of
resistance chords, which allow crew members to exercise and tone various
muscles in the legs and in the upper body. The resistance can be set
in increments of 2.3 kg up to a maximum of the force equivalent
to lifting on Earth a mass of 195 kg.
19:30-21:30 - The ISS crew will participate in a two-hour review with specialists on the ground
to discuss issues related to the on-board timeline of upcoming activities.
21:30-22:30 - The Expedition
14 crew will meet in the Russian Zvezda module for a one-hour midday
meal.
22:30-23:30 - Reiter will
install a remote sensing unit, which has a small transmitter antenna
to radio measurements to a Space Station laptop computer for recording
on a PMCIA card to be downlinked later to the ground. The remote sensing
unit forms part of the internal wireless instrumentation system (IWIS),
which records structural dynamics of the station. The IWIS utilizes
sets of accelerometers and strain gauges, which are supported by a network
control unit and their own remote sensing units.
23:30-00:10 - Following
a period of unallocated time, Reiter and his ISS colleagues will participate
in a 20-minute conference with ISS programme managers on the ground.
00:10-00:40 - Thomas Reiter
will perform 30 minutes of routine maintenance on the Russian Zvezda
life support system.
00:40-02:45 - Following
a period of unallocated time, Reiter will perform 60 minutes of physical
exercise on the Treadmill with Vibration Isolation System (TVIS). This
equipment is located in the floor of the Russian Zvezda module close
to the galley table. The crew member is held down by a shoulder harness,
and the complete system is suspended to
"Unfortunately, no. The ISS requires far too much hands-on maintenance."
I happened to listen to live activity today. The pilot, a shuttle first-timer, kept asking if the stop-go incrementing counter on the fuel-cell monitoring software was awry - he wouldn't let it go, even after Houston told him they had spent enough time on what was obviously a non-issue and to move on. He kept making suggestions and they waited patiently as he chatted and rambled. It was clear they were giving into his first-time fever, just to placate him, but still, talk about a time-waster.
In addition, being as the shuttle commander and ISS in-charge are both women, making for yet another space first (?), the two were so enamored with the idea, they miscalculated the time before the big public TV presentation of the new 'Harmony' module, thinking they didn't have time to spruce their hair for the cameras - Houston calmly told them no issue, the circulation fans had been adjusted from the ground to keep everything on schedule - plenty of time.
The shuttle commandette told the ground-control guy "thanks for having our back on that one!"...ground control was in control - not the nitrogen-breathing, image conscious, time wasting, hubris-fevered staff-monkeys in the air.
So please, sell that 'too much hands-on maintenance' white-wash someplace else, thanks:)
"Microsoft also gets low marks for failing to include SSH support in the operating system. The FTP client is being treated like an unloved stepchild, to the point where it is not even included in the Server Manager."
No problem - check back, say 2013...?
I know that Redmond is paying bonuses for every article and press release shotgunned out during the release of Leopard, but this is one of the most blatant snow-jobs in recent history.
"WS2008 really sucks and all, but it doesn't totally TOTALLY suck, you know, because, like, it could have been worse...much worse...mostly. And we're the experts, so that's a good thing!"
And we all know that anonymous cowards, with their anecdotal remarks, are always way right on.
Samsung hasn't enjoyed worldwide success & growth since 1970 by being 'off'. As well, it is more important to focus on who will buy what Samsung produces...in this case, Apple.
"Its expensive because i live in the boonies sort of, but its also worth it because theres nothing to do out here."
Shit, man - print tickets, throw up some chainlink, projector that stuf on the side of the barn, put on a t-shirt that says "No Head - No Backstage" and go nuts...
'Microsoft have referred to themselves as MS since...'
Must be why www.ms.com hits morgan stanley - thanks for taking a run at me, chump, but next time you feel such an urge, bring some heat or stay home with your sister.

Not enough, apparently

They have spares on board. Excepting the fact that it came as a surprise (a similar setup is ok), this is a non-issue.
"I see nothing related to security on that."
My bad - I forgot that OS X doesn't offer anything whatsoever in terms of security...sorry.

In contrast to all that dicking around BEFORE 2003?

I know a guy that makes home-made helos' that has the first 7 feet covered - after that...two words: space elevator.
How many more MS supposed news 'snippets' are coming between now & the release of Leopard?
Can we just get it over with, and pre-tag them all 'noise', since all these are intended to do is dilute Apple's newest OS release?
'That's assuming that you were criticizing Microsoft and not the grandparent poster'
'm o c k i n g' - look it up, grasshopper...and beware assumptions.
'Microsoft have referred to themselves as MS since...'

What gets even older than that is the spelling of Microsoft as MS. Stop. It makes you appear laughable.
