Btw, those calls from the minarets are calls to the prayer, just like church bells in Christian communities - both are nuisance in my opinion, wakes you up too early, especially the dawn prayers in muslim countries - bloody hell, it's 5AM and I've just gone to sleep and some idiot starts screaming thru speakers. Same with church bells, too noisy, especially on Sundays when I'm supposed to have my beauty sleep!:)
Basically calls to the prayers are not prayers themselves therefore they don't have to end with anything special. Allahuekber means "God is great". Bah.
Amin in arabic, I believe. It is also related to "yemin" which basicly means oath. Both are widely used, when a wish is done, all wishes done against the will of god. You are not supposed to make oaths nillywilly.
Constitutions can be rewritten. They can be ignored. They can be replaced with an other thing altogether. These happened in other places on Earth, in many cases with American backing and not for the good of the people of the country involved. Why do you think American constitution is sacred? It isn't. Some countries (i.e., UK) even doesn't have a written constitution and manage to run themselves.
True! https://gmail.google.com/ - the employee is reading personal mails at work or maybe he is using a throw-away google account to subscribe to many technical mailing lists to protect his office address from spam harvesting and virii (that's what I do anyways)? During all of that gigabytes of https transfers, how can you spot a small piece of mail sent out containing the corporate secrets?
The latter one is Soyuz 11 (first successful mission to Salyut 1). It can happen for various reasons, one being Soyuz still mostly experimental (it had many changes after Soyuz 1 disaster) and close to its lifetime (longest period of time Soyuz actually turned off/parked in space orbit at that time) or crew making mistakes after a long period of not using the craft.
The former one is Komarov's death and it was because of the spacecraft being experimental and undermanned.
What you say is absolutely correct. The fact is, Americans can't do it but Russians can and that's something Americans would prefer to ignore. I think the problem is the fact that Russians are already overcommitted to their existing projects. I believe all of the available Protons are already slated for commercial launches and they make more money compared to NASA launches. They had a problem supplying enough Soyuz rockets and Progress vehicles.
What limits IIS at the moment is not the amount of science modules - it is personell. Because Americans canned the crew return vehicle, using Soyuzes it is not practical to man the station to its intended personell of 7. Klipper makes sense here but that will arrive too late, probably will be useful for Mir 3 (the russian base module for IIS was effectively Mir 2).
Interestingly enough, Luna has a clumpy gravitational field lots of anomalies. If I remember correctly, this creates a problem in low-moon-orbits and makes the orbits of the satellites somewhat chaotic in the long run. Unfortunately I don't have time to research this right now.:(
I thought SuitSat transmitted at 145.990 and that's what I've been listening to. Where's this UHF band transmission is documented? Amsat's and suitsat.org's pages are technically crap. I tried listening to SuitSat the day it was launched. Although I heard ISS very strongly, I couldn't hear SuitSat, using an yaesu handheld and a 3 element yagi.
This morning at 6:00UT I picked up ISS packet radio on 145.800 but Suitsat was silent. It was fairly easy, I was using a basic Yaesu handheld and a three element yagi held by hand. I probably could pick it up using a scanner with rubberduck, signal strength of the packet on ISS was very good.
Unfortunately OpenMosix (my favourite clustering kernel btw) is still stuck on Kernel 2.4. 2.6 is still on beta and userland tools don't exist yet. 2.6 has been around for ages so that's a shame.
Ah... OK, I gave it a shot... Added the source trees to the project, removed one source branch and tried to add it again. Nope, can't do. Restart app, try again. Nope. Won't let me add the branch back. I'm done with this piece of crap. Back to Ecplise, it at least works.
You can use any bash version available for Windows. Cygwin Bash to start with but not excluding GNU Bash or many alternatives you can find from google (the one I linked is the first one from Google search for "Windows Bash").
I can't understand what you mean? Reversed geosync orbit at a slightly different orbit to match the sun's relative position? Why you are at it why don't you also scream "The warp engines can't hold any more captain, we need to reverse the positron flux and shake the jiggyme to get the electrons flowing backward!", also muttering "I'm not an engineer, Jim. I'm a doctor!" might help.
Do You mean an L1 orbit? That's faaar to away from Earth to be useful, 1.5 million km opposed to around 300km for LEO. That far away, the satellite would be always in the sun-lit section of the sky and unless it is incredibly bright, objects can't be seen that close to the sun.
I suppose that's a valid reason. High power flashes emit a lot of heat and old-style bulb flashes are truly a hazard to everyone. Such rules and regulations usually get written once and never revised.
Actually using a tele vs. wide angle from up close vs. a normal lens makes a big difference in the picture. You can take a picture of the building but it will not be the same picture.
And the research you are referring to was funded by coffee companies - science delivered to order is not science.
I am a major coffee drinker, I use 300ml mugs or larger and drink about 5-6 mugs a day. Once in a while I detox where I only drink tea for a couple of weeks to make sure that I am not very badly addicted. Actually it is time to do that again, this means tomorrow I'll fall asleep in the office! I hope my manager won't notice.
I wonder if this means that I go and visit the web page I will have to cough up the licensing fee... I avoid BBC News videos on the BBC web site just to be able to claim that I haven't accessed their TV content.
Escape pod is also now at more easier to remember link. EP028. Your Corporate Network and the Forces of Darkness was just so incredibly funny... It's one of my favourite podcasts.
I thought the true solution to virii was abstinence - like do not use IE? There are always better alternatives - pleasuring yourself with writing free software licenced apps springs to my mind.

Titan II was almost didn't make the human-rating. There were severe problems with pogo-stick oscilations.

nothing beats fresh pressed ground coffee with a touch of Baileys poured in... Yum yum....

Nothing can beat this beauty:
10 PRINT "TEXT"
then you would do
GWBASIC FILE.BAS
Beats "python file.py" every time...
Fake arguments involving hello world apps should not be taken as a way of comparing languages.

I'm doing fine with my morse key, thank you.
