It was still the competition with USSR that was the catalyst for our moon program. If we did not have that competition we probably would have never gone.
Now with competition with China, that could help jump-start the program again which IMO is a good thing.
They probably do not care right now since it is mostly talk. When China starts sending men into space and especially if they start sending probes to Mars, people will start to take notice. The first time around it was Gagarin that really made everybody sit up and take notice.
It is very possible that a major China mission could have the time type of effect especially if it looks like they are going to do something the US has not yet done. That is when the American people will care.
I have not seen any of the issues you describe on a wireless network and I have one run for many years and VoIP runs just fine over a properly configured 802.11b network. The main interference problem I have seen have been cordless phones that operate on 2.5GHz because those are on the same frequency.
Other then that, a properly configured and engineered wireless network works very well.
I'm glad I'm not a subscriber now because that red is just painful on the eyes.
If this is a plan to try to get more people to subscribe, it isn't working for me. Pay to have my eyes hurt?
for realeasing a good 3D FPS game for free to the community and not even requiring that you have the original game either.
Always good to see companies do things like this because it generates goodwill. This will make more more likely to go buy the next game they release.
It is not interesting TO YOU. That does not mean it is not interesting to everybody else. There are lots of articles on Slashdot everyday so read those you enjoy and those you do not find interesting skip over.
If there is really an IP problem in Linux, why won't SCO say what it is? Is litigation that important to them or do they not think they have a strong case so they want to do the PR thing for a while first so that when they finally announce what the problem is it will be backpage news. That way, even if it is just a minor issue, they have all this huge PR ahead of time so that nobody will care what the truth is.
Come on, SCO. If there is a problem announce what it is. If there isn't a problem, stop this BS.
A firewall should be configured to deny everything and only allow through what is needed. Only open ports that you need to open.
Stuff like pop-ups that run on port 80 (which you need to open for at least your squid proxy) are a different matter
As for blocking pop-ups and stuff like that, those are best done on the proxy server. On my proxy, I block all ad related sites (doubleclick, etc) and it is real easy to do with squid. The downside is that on some sites (like cnn) you get java errors on some of their java code. Just tell the users to say "no" to the "do you want to execute more java code from this page" and it is fine.
That is the configuration I use and it works fine.
No it isn't all about piracy. They do not want the console used for anything but games (and bought games).
That is why when people did get Linux to run on the X-Box, Microsoft made a change to it in the next manufactering run so that Linux would no longer run (though I think it took the hackers less then a day to get around it).
Just because the retail store is taking a loss when they sell the product does not mean that the company is.
Actually, I have heard that Sony has not ever lost money on the PS2 hardware though I have found no links to back this up either.
So unless the companies let us know, all we do is guess.

I thought it was Microsoft that muscled it way into business Or is Sony the bad guy this week?
I bet they crush it or at least take all the parts back so they can reuse the material at the next stop on the tour.
