Never underestimate the number of native DOS software out there. Even now, more than half of the non-linux Ham software runs on DOS. Even in the office I have two machines running a controller, the hardware supplier only provides simulators for the hardware on DOS. It's the typical "if ain't broke, don't fix it", sometimes it is a better approach than rewriting the software.
That's why I love FarScape. In one episode Chrichton relieves himself at a corner in the landing bay, in front of the visitors to Moya. Absolute hilarious. Also the bit about the toilet paper... That was just brilliant. Uncharted SF, where no man or woman ever dared to go before...
FarScape also contains lots of mucus and vomit - they are quite open about bodily functions.
You don't have to completely destroy the plane. IMHO, it is much scarier if the aircraft doesn't crash completely. The aircraft crashed because of a lost rudder in New York is just history but the story of planes having small explosions or losing their cargo door and having a couple of people sucked out gets more mention. Also more survivers mean more airtime, all those people selling story rights to every single channel on TV/Satellite makes the story more 'real'.
If the plane crashes or explodes, all you get is a couple of body parts and some aluminum and steel frame. The Turkish Airlines crash (a DC-10 losing its cargo door and crashing into a forest in France) shortly after it took off Orly (France) is a good example. There was almost nothing to show afterwards, even though it was the biggest air disaster for decades.
And I was thinking "Jerry Cornelius? Having the advantage of having had the very highest security clearances himself? What will follow, a nice yarn about him and his needle gun?"... It's still a very good article, in which newspaper did it appear?
Russians also used them in lighthouses - searching it in Google came up with the news that they are replacing them.
Some years ago there was an investigative journalist piece on BBC TV and they tracked down a couple - apparently Russians can't (or won't) tell exactly how many of these were installed, how many still have nuclear cores and where did the cores go. The journalist mentioned one incident where the nuclear core was nicked and used as a heating source by some local fishermen.
You must have been playing the deaf and blind monkeys simultaneously... When I was in Turkey, attacks against the theory of evolution was almost a daily news item. Probably depends on which newspapers you read.
He wasn't fleeing anyone. He walked slowly all the way, until he got into the recently arrived carriage and sat down comfortably into the first available seat. Then the police stormed in and shot him.
He wasn't wearing a bulky jacket but jeans, he didn't have wires protuding, he didn't jump over the underground ticket machines, he didn't even run from anyone.
The police killed an innocent man and they got away with it.
Hey, the nutters have the answer: Before time, there was God.
OK, the question answered, there is no reason to have any more research and expenditure to this thing you call "science". Everything you need to know is in this Bible/Quran/Torah.:)
The observable universe is as old as you can observe - currently around 14 billion years,give or take a billion. The size of the universe is independent of the size of the observable universe but is a function of the curvature of the universe - the big bang did not originate at where the sun or our galaxy is and evenly expanded.
The most simplest explanation is: Before the big bang, there was no space-time. The universe expanded into space-time and the space-time is expanding since then. Also just after the big-bang, the universe had an inflation where the inflation speed was much more than the speed of light. This smooths all of wrinkles of the the universe, hence the observable universe is homogeneous (everywhere laws of physics are the same).
The inflation theory is quite something - first time I read about it I didn't believe it but the evidence is pretty strong. On the other hand, mandkind don't know what was the governing principle. Same with the current increasing expansion of the universe, no one knows why (yet) but it expands faster and faster.
This was quite simplistic, probably also contain factual errors introduced with oversimplification. Wikipediawillhavemuchmoreinformation and lots of links to more articles.
Also popular astronomy magazines (Sky&Telescope, Astronomy Now etc.) tend to have reasonably good cosmology articles once in a while.
Using the software and providing feedback is contributing. You don't have to be a developer to help opensource - most of the people working on FOSS do it because they themselves need the software they are writing - any positive feedback is only the icing on the cake.
Some claim that FOSS is not free - you just end up spending the same money in an other way - either by buying support from a third party or spending time reading the man pages while the service is down.
I disagree. My experience with FOSS is less downtime, less cost and more job satisfaction.
Sometimes simple things force you off the beaten track - SLES9 requires 256MB to install! I have a number of boxes with less memory and they are certainly capable of the jobs they are assigned to (squid, dhcpd, print server, dns, asterisk etc.) and I don't want to upgrade the machines. Tataaa! Debian netboot disk or Ubuntu server CD comes and saves the day!
I started installing more and more Ubuntu and Debian server boxes, I don't care about the Ubuntu desktop, serverwise it is good. Unless I am forced to install SLES9 or SLES10, I will stick to these two from now on...
Although you have done the right thing by switching to CentOS, I think you are comparing apples and oranges. CentOS is RHEL whereas RedHat 9 is not (and parent of Fedora Core). On the other hand I agree with the POS called Fedora Core, I was a RedHat fan, on the desktop, it really peaked with RedHat 9. Fedora Core 1 was utter crap, Fedora Core 2 and 3 weren't that different. Fedora Core 4 was reasonable. Now I have one PC at home on Fedora Core 5 and I am slowly (re)installing Planet CCRMA on it, I am not sure if I will ever like it.
Planet CCRMA is only viable on Fedora Core therefore I don't have any other real alternatives on that area - I hope one day they will switch to a Debian based system - or maybe not, openSUSE is always an option but please please, no more Fedora Core.

NTL works fine, I use their middle-speed entry which is 4MBit/s at the moment and I've been on my long-loved quest of archiving Internet to DVDs for years now. No complaints from NTL - yet.:)
Simply put, the latest SUSE releases (SLES10 and SLED10) took 4 DVDs and 16 CDs to cover DVD and CD versions of both architectures and even that would blow a lot of companies' download limits and it's a legitimate use.
They still are - I still do all of our backups to a 4mm DDS3. With DDS4 and 5, the capacity is still usable with the mantra "only backup what you can't replace"...
At home I have DDS2 and DDS3 - DDS2 for backing up small stuff (mainly code) and DDS3 for pictures.
Although slow, a DDS3 still takes 12GB uncompressed and beats burning a new DVD every night (only 4.3GB).

If I can't turn into an innocent panda every time my boss asks about my slipping deadlines, I can't see why someone else should!
There's even a Dorktower of it.
Was 88mph supposed to be 'fast'? I sometimes do 90 and can't keep up with the traffic on the motorway (here in UK).
I always thought that was a bug. Dammit. Annoying bastards!
You forgot Anarchist-loonies: Farscape!
Aaah, fuck it. I'll pull an Evo Terra" here: WASH DIES!

Really??? I suppose you haven't heard of NASA's big and beautiful space station which never was?

We develop under Windows but build, test and deploy on SLES9. One of our customers uses RHEL4 but rest are either SLES8/9 or Windows or AIX.
I started installing more and more Ubuntu and Debian server boxes, I don't care about the Ubuntu desktop, serverwise it is good. Unless I am forced to install SLES9 or SLES10, I will stick to these two from now on...

It is easy to process in a substring and if the filename contains it, it always can be sorted correctly. Just pure simplicity.
