Xenogenesis by Octavia E. Butler is a compilation of 3 of her books Dawn, Adulthood Rites, and Imago. They are in my opinion some of the best science fiction I have ever read.
I block ads with firefox's adblock extension, and I stopped my subscription to popular science when in a 42 page magazine it had 27 full pages of ads.... Not counting the back 5 pages or so that are dedicated to ad space, or half page ads. I also fired back a response to their mailings about giving me another year subscription at a reduced price. I wanted to make sure they knew I got the magazine for the science in it, not for more than half of it being ads.
Well, I agree with you on the blowing it into pieces won't change the direction enough to matter, and it will just create more of a mess (i.e. more pieces however large they may be heading the same direction) I also don't think that slamming something into an asteroid / meteor / comet / whatever celestial body is moving through space at that particular moment prompting us to launch nukes / whatever at it is going to affect the path that much, unless it's done very far away so that the distance you move it albeit small, in the long run will cause a larger path change over distance (i'm certain there's some name for this)
Sure, those diagrams (sorry I didn't think italics was enough to accentuate the fact that it's named dia.) could be easily produced, after of course installing linux with X, and gnome onto your pc, and or another PC... For those not using linux already. One could assume the questioner wasn't using linux because he was using photoshop which would lead one to believe he is running a microsoft based operating system.
But hey, this is slashdot linux == good, microsoft == evil right?
So, if I download a copyrighted game I don't have permission to download whilst flying on a brand spanking new airplane with one of those new fangled internet connections in flight. I can be put to death?
I have 6 of them covering my arms completely. Including a spider-web on my elbow. I take personal issue with being told I have to wear long sleeves, and routinely refuse to unless asked to wear long sleeves. I've also found that pointing out that you notice they're looking at them by saying something like 'It's a spider-web. Let it go' helps to break the ice immediately.
I already stated what they're bringing. The 'trusted name' if in fact it is trusted by a user. From my personal experience (the only experience I can speak from) there are many people who use nero solely. People follow brand names. Welcome to capitalism
You all tout desktop linux like it's in the near future, then when a company brings a trusted name over to the linux desktop, all you see are complaints about how it's not free.
How about stop whining and give them a little support. Nero has been around on windows desktops for quite a while. Not that it's going to be the app that makes 2 million users stand up and switch, at least it's a start. People can now use their 'favorite burning application on linux' if in fact that is their favorite.
The point is joe schmoe doesn't even know what cdrdao is, nor does he want to learn another application. Yet, you say linux is destined for the desktop? I say bullshit. It's not destined for anything.
The biggest hurdle to Desktop Linux, is the current users of linux themselves.
Microsoft AntiSpyware has found spyware on my system! Guess it's time to uninstall that evil RealVNC program I use since it's spyware. Thanks Microsoft, all this time I thought it was a cool program!
The theft is actually the decryption of the signal, not the reception of it. You can't really help but receiving at least part of it. However it still takes a dish to collect enough of that signal to feed it into an LNB and then into your receiver. That's what you get when you let someone who has no clue what they're talking about write an article.
DTV will subpoena records from EBay, PayPal, your Credit Card company, to prove that you bought satellite equipment along with your legal smart card programmer. They're not stupid. They have many ambulance chasing lawyers behind them in all 48 states that can receive the programming. I'm already hip deep in it with them, fortunately for me, they messed up while serving me and dropped the accusation. My business partner was not so lucky. And this has been going on well over a year already, and there is no end in sight. Currently, they have until February of 2005 for 'discovery'.
If the information is out there, they will get it. Especially if you paid with credit cards instead of cash.
In most cases it was cheaper to settle than it was to pay a lawyer from 1 to 10 grand to defend you. I purchased smart card equipment and was sued by directv, I retained a lawyer, and fortunately for me, DirecTV dropped their case because of a legal fopau. The other 9 people named in the lawsuit were not so lucky. They have already paid out 5 grand to their lawyer to defend them. Most are now settling for 4 grand before their lawyer fees exceed that.
IRC was born during summer 1988 when Jarkko "WiZ" Oikarinen wrote the first IRC client and server at the University of Oulu, Finland (where he was working at the Department of Information Processing Science).

If they used 9GB discs instead of 9Gb discs, they'd be able to cram those 4, and 4 more onto a disc.

I guess that loosing a job is better than havening a job...
right?

Put a firecracker on your hand, and let it blow up ON your hand. A little burn...
Now, repeat this test only this time, put the firecracker in the palm of your hand, and then close your hand around it making a fist.
This time, your fingers will be blown off.
That's why they drilled '20 miles' into the comet / asteroid / meteor / moving space rock
Sure, those dia grams (sorry I didn't think italics was enough to accentuate the fact that it's named dia.) could be easily produced, after of course installing linux with X, and gnome onto your pc, and or another PC...

Microsoft Visio? ... yea I said it MICROSOFT.
Does GBPVR support Automatic Recording of shows i.e. like TiVo's Season Pass (couldn't find anything on the website)

oh yea, the history of the world part one, correct you are. I dunno where the hell I came up with part 2.
Mel Brooks said he'd never make a sequel to anything. Hence his movie 'The History of the world Part 2' but had no part 1 :)

If parents would be a little more concerned with their children, rathar than concerned about what's on TV, then there'd be no problem.
i.e. watch your own kids and the tv won't have to baby sit for you.
Did a review of these. You can find their glowing review here http://www.popsci.com/popsci/medicine/article/0,12 543,658680,00.html
mb = millibar. But thanks for pointing out that you meant megabits.
since Mb= megabit,
and MB = megabyte
Here's another little excerpt for those too lazy to click "The symbol for megabyte is MB (note B for Byte, lowercase b would mean bit)."

You mean *nix has passwords now? ... And didn't microsoft patent the password?

Yea, the hackers are 'sneaking' in, like a green beret in vietnam, and your data is their buddies, behind enemy lines.
