Uhhh...our shuttles are much more efficient than apollo 17 was, even if apollo17 was the last successful moon landing. Furthermore, future shuttles could probably handle quite a bit more than 110kg + 3 astronauts if designed for it. Finally, consider how much the public spends in energy every year and how much the government spends trying to regulate those costs.
#1. We could argue about this all day. No one owns it, that in and of itself has tremendous advantages and disadvantages. #2. BS, RTFA. Solar winds carry the He3 there. It'll be renewable as long as the moon is there and the sun is burning. #3. Yeah it is the moon! The same exact place we first visited over 30 years ago. What else did we do in the 60s that we take for granted now? It's not as hard was it once was.
Uhhhh, _very_ few people know what BIOS means. Sure, we know what it means on/., it could also be argued that a significant percentage of people on the internet know, but that data is heavily biased.
For instance, when I worked for an ISP, I had a hard time telling people (lots of everyday life friends, peers and fellows) what ISP meant.
Cross-sector acronyms not only exist, they are very common. We (IT sector) can't even keep acronyms for a single thing (UML comes to mind), much less settle on what they mean (Sorry, brainfart, but there are hundreds out there).
I doubt naming it BIOS will have any kind of impact whatsoever.
It's even very likely that the IT sector has tons of acryonyms that already exist in the medical world.
I wasn't aware the current consumer technology allows us to manipulate the speed of light? Either that, or you were joking and it went completely over my head.
No, although winamp is a AOL-loaded, bloated POS, audi wouldn't settle for anything that doesn't:
A. Automatically turn itself on and off, even when the car is turned off. B. Just automatically stop playing CDs/Cassettes after no major incidents. C. Go into SAFE mode for no reason at all. D. Require an extra special aftermarket adapter to get another changer to work.
I could go on, and on, and on, but instead I just point you to audiworld.com
Don't get me wrong, I _love_ my a4, but the stereo blows goat ass.
If you want to throw linux in there too, which is completely fair, I'll give it to ya. Simply because there are so many (Redhat|Mandrake) users out there that use it for a desktop. But to rephrase, I'd say Unix Admins instead of Unix guys.
Actually, there's not a keyboard plugged in either, but I didn't want to argue to the rest of the world that unix really runs fine without a keyboard. In most cases, I use serial ports or ssh.
You'd think so? I don't know. See *most* of us "Unix guys" really don't even use a gui. Hope your bitter sarcasm really gets the next guy though, because I was a bit disappointed.
Yeah, that would suck. Good thing king soopers delivers. HAHA, welcome to/., where someone throws the word "zealot" in because it makes himself feel better. Good luck with that.

That's an incredibly short-sighted conclusion.

Thanks for the first paragraph.
PhD thesis or not, it's just her opinion, and there seem to be plenty that contradict hers.

Yeah, then it'd run even slower.
You might as well wait for longhorn if it's a bloated, slow p.o.s. that you're aiming for.
Nothing like a good ol' kludge to fix something that should have been done right in the first place.
I think this guy is trying to look for answers to the problem, not quick fixes.
Finding those is easier than writing the spamming program...
Here's a hint:
Look through your postfix logs to see which servers are already sending you spam.
You must be new here.

I didn't RTFA, nor do I know anything about biology outside of my class in 9th grade, but how can I help?

Holy crap, you dogged an apple product and you didnt get modded down?
Lucky son of a bitch.:)
LOL, good point.
I still remember my first killall on solaris, having come from a linux environment.
Is there any wonder?
Think about the things that are broken in the default solaris install:
sed, awk, tar
(and probably hundreds more I can't come up with off the bat)
I mean, you can't get far with those being broken.
They needed a super computer to compute 42. It'll be a long wait until we find out how 2 is connected to it.
Citibank, EROS, Daktronics, Polaris, what more do you want?
I'm gonna sue you for typing gray as "grey":)
Holy crap! I _was_ in diapers in the 80s!
Yep, faster for me. That's all I said. I can prove it day and night. I can even show you after I've had a few beers.
Something that is still serving a purpose can still most certainly be obsolete.

I'll stick with screen, but thanks.
