well with my background, a "mil" is a millilitre - a comparatively small measure of liquid, to someone at JPL i asume a "mil" is probably a million squillion miles - a comparatively small distance;)

huh? come on now, i support & install NT/98 in work and use linux et al, at home. i can personally install most mainstream OSs in my sleep almost.
anyone who can't install win9x in under 45min probably takes most of that extra time finding out where to put that little plastic square with the three pins sticking out of it....
if after 10+ installs you have only succeeded 1st time once then you are doing something MAJORLY wrong or you have MAJORLY fucked-up kit.
if you are using unsupported/non-standard/broken hardware then you *will* get problems, and you damn well deserve them for not looking up the HCL.
in conclusion, IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING THEN YOU/WILL/ HAVE PROBLEMS - whether its installing the OS of your choice or changing the oil in your car (something which mine goes back to the garage for, btw:)
you were aware that corel were developing opsn source software long before the press release.
why didnt't you "excersise your rights" and demand that they give you weekly snapshots of the software in development?
oh yeah
because it was >>IN DEVELOPMENT
and it still is. so quit whining everyone and wait for the REAL product. never have i heard such a bunch of facile and childish arguments from a group of people who are supposed to be intelligent.
This is probably down to learning. i went to an "open plan" junior school. there was always lots of commotion. later in life, (senior school, university etc) it was always possible to study with all sorts of commotion going on around me, whereas my peers had problems with the slightest distraction.
btw, just to be pedantic, all our brains are equally evolved.. some just work better than others;)
in conclusion, peoples's efficacy at "multi-tasking" may well be based on the environment they grew up in.
well it also means that because the crash site didnt generate streams of molten mozzarella this simply means THIS part of the moon is not made of cheese but does not preclude other areas of being so.
IMO the whole moon/water fiasco is a populist stunt to maintain NASAs funding.

if only 1 in 10 of your windows installations work then you are phenominally stupid!! WTF are you doing? installing underwater or what?
NB - this is meant to be funny.
you are incorrect.

that's exactly the attitude that caused Y2K... you'd think people'd learn :)

lets just hope linux never becomes popular, cos half the people here would then be morally bound to hate it...
