Oh well, IMHO, Hubble is overrated. If Henrietta Leavitt didn't exist, Hubble would have never come up with the distances of the galaxies therefore no Hubble constant.:)
Science is always driven by "publish first or die" doctrine. If you come up with the constant before Hubble, that means you are more clever than Hubble himself and worthy of the "Oni Constant". AS long as you cite Hubble, you are fine and Hubble should be satisfied (albeit, and a bit crestfallen).
My understanding of RHEL licences are you can't ask for support for unlicenced copies - since all of the software is GPL or BSD licenced, they cannot stop you from using it, even after the support licence runs out. Don't forget that GPL does not have any restriction on use, it only controls distribution rights.
I've seen and photographed both - ths one beats them hands down - never in my life I actually saw a comet just after the sun set and so clearly and as bright as Venus. If this comet was visible during night time instead of daytime (how cool can that be darnit!) it'd be easily one of the most famous comets of all time. This sucker IS BRIGHT, really really bright!
Mitra curse me, I so hate to be in UK and its lousy weather - I'd give anything to be in Australia deserts in a couple of day's time. They will have a beautiful view.
Last wednesday I saw it just minutes after the sun set and I am still excited about it, it was simply glorious!
Kstarts from the KDEEdu package. It's pretty neat. I used to use xephem ages ages ago, even had it compiled for AIX when I was in the university (circa 1993) - it must be still around. Before that, I had something to run on the IBM mainframe but the name escapes my mind.
There is also Stellarium which is a very nice looking thing (it's running on the laptop right now and I can see a beautiul Sirius rising and Orion nicely in the sky and if I had bothered to turn the light off, that'd be the view I'd see from my window.
Stick to ISO 8601 and your filenames and dates will always sort nicely. Good luck with expenses_13_01_07.xls and expense_13_JAN_07.xls when you want to look for expenses from January in a year's time, well, alternatively you'd install Google Desktop I presume.
You can't buy a pound of apples. You can buy 4 or 5 apples, which will never be one pound (nor exactly half a kilogram).
I'm sure that you have no problem buying fuel for litres and driving a tankful of it, doing approx. 400 miles. It's just madness in UK - everywhere else measures fuel consumption in Litres per 100 kilometers (which gives you a good indication of how much fuel you need to ourchase if you are driving for 150 kilometers).
We should switch to imperial ASAP - the current situation is a right mess.
You see, as long as we have the Queen and the inbred mob called The Royal Family, right wing nutters here still can fool themselves that this is an Empire, needs imperial units and if you can't buy bananas by pounds, you have sold your soul to republicans, or worse, Brussel!
Once the revolution happens and all Royal Family are full of holes, the problem will dissapear and we will have a proper implementation of the metric system... Now let me go back to my pint of bitter...
Although this has nothing to do with FCC, worldwide amateurs also gained more space on 7MHz lately. Previously Region 1 was limited between 7.0 and 7.1MHz, now all 300kHzare avaiable. Yay! (I have to get my Yaesu reprogrammed at one point...). I think USA always had that region.
I wouldn't use 1.1.x, that's the experimental branch. Stick to 1.0.x or 1.2.x if you want to be safe... I don't belive either kernel trees are actively maintained but I miss them because of their lightness and speed. You would need to recompile every time you need a new driver (no modules) but otherwise it'd be quite fast, especially on older machines. There are lots of one-floppy Linux distributions still using 1.x.y kernels since it fits into a floppy AND you have space left to run something else.
I agree... Although I strongly dislike FC and Gnome, I already use it for my Planet CCRMA setup and when CCRMA gears to FC6, I might ditch the two SuSE machines and install either Kubuntu or FC with KDE. I can't accept an other Utah company screwing us Linux users. This is deja-vu, all over again.
It might have been mentioned elsewhere... That's not particularly true. They don't achieve multiple 9's of redundancy with solid code. They achive it by using 4 computer systems, taking the same input and hopefully resulting with the same output. Many times shuttle flights experienced (in flight or on the launchpad) computer crashes but as long as the result from the redundant sets agree, they don't care. When they have multiple computers failing or not agreeing, they might sweat a bit. The return of the flight before last was delayed because one of the computers kept on crashing.
Simply, even a java implementation would do fine, as long as you have redundant set of them coming with the same answers all the time.
Aww, come on, the credit card number validation is not magic. It's just Luhn check digit validation. The last number of the card number is the check digit.
Recently I listened to (audio book version of) ab Ann Coulter book. The stupid bitch (pardon my French) was claiming that the liberal activist judges and congress let lots of murderers free by enforcing Miranda rules - like even you confess, it can't be used against you - effectively preventing you from confessing under torture.
Some countries, like China, use torture all the time to get confessions, once you have the confession, usually the cases end out to be an open-shut case. One of BBC Radio 4 correspondents investigated the tens of thousands of people who get executed in China, annually, and how most of them were confessions, taken under torture. Effectively, the bodies were being used as organ donors, with no say from the family. All the family gets is a bit of ashes and a bill for the bullet used during th execution.
When you are protecting someone else, you can't claim the fifth, (wasn't it the fifth amendment) because if you keep silent, you are not protecting yourself but someone else. If you are not talking, you are simply not cooperating with the investigation and that's usually a crime.
That is until you get fired from your job because you are sick and unable to work. Then you are back to square one, you can't pay for a good healthcare, then you can't get better and you can't find a good paying job. Repeat until you die.
Thanks to European socialism, at least you tend to get a reasonable health service and not die.
It's a business. If the creative people want to make art but not a living, they can always go and to theatre.
The lack of good content on TV made me get rid of mine years ago, I haven't looked back. You Tube is as bad as TV, it is just more stupid stuff but any time you want it!:)
You can't get more overseas than UK where the BSG gets shown before US.
I don't even have a TV but I know that quite a lot of people travel over the Atlantic in their private jets to get the UK aired shows regularly (as opposed to downloading them from a torrent).
So does firewall, it has even have a traffic shape wizard... I'm a big fan of Monowall bt I'm going to give this a go, if it has more support for hardware compared to Monowall, I might consider switching to it and use my useless wireless PCI card.

George Bush Sr. was the head of the CIA for a while, that didn't make him a prezident... Oh, Wait...
I was using Speakfree in late nineties and it was working perfectly fine way back then, even with 28.8k baud modems.
I agree... Although I strongly dislike FC and Gnome, I already use it for my Planet CCRMA setup and when CCRMA gears to FC6, I might ditch the two SuSE machines and install either Kubuntu or FC with KDE. I can't accept an other Utah company screwing us Linux users. This is deja-vu, all over again.
Samba was released around 1992, well before the IETF spec. I remember using it very early with my OS/2 and Linux network.
Almost all of that is either open standards or outright BSD implementation and last time I looked, MS honoured the BSD licence.
Simply, even a java implementation would do fine, as long as you have redundant set of them coming with the same answers all the time.
Come on... tESB was good...

Hang oooon! What about my freedom of to be able to be a crook, to swindle, bribe and corrupt??
