6 years ago I never rebooted my NT4 workstation at work. Only the occasional power outage every 6 months killed the uptime. I remember installing the uptime tool, just to proof the >180 days uptime.
Then they upgraded to XP and you had to reboot every couple of weeks. Talking about improvements...
IMHO the best space battle model was created by David Weber in the Honor Harrington series. The technologies and limitations he created make up for interesting and also "realistic" space battles.
It's a bit like mixing 3D solar system mechanics with WWI and II battleship tactics.
I agree. To some people, this is rather imporant. Many companies don't have any staff cantine and you can only get bagles within walking distance.
If you're not the packed lunch guy, this is pretty bad.
I'm mostly working from home and I'm always happy to go to a customer with a proper staff cantine. For any future office job that will be always a top criteria with me.
Yes, Iran has a long history of attacking other countries in wars of aggression so claiming peaceful use is a farce. Nuclear technologiy is only safe with peaceful countries who have never lead any wars of aggression or used WMD, like say the U.S.A. and Germany.
Nonsense, nothing can hit Jupiter. It is a gas giant. It probably slowed down while passing thru that massive gas layers and halted at the core because of the gravity.
At a few kilometers per second, you won't feel the difference between hitting a solid and hitting a gas.
That would depend on the pressure in the atmosphere. If something enters the atmosphere it will burst as soon as the pressure is too high. That will definately happen on Jupiter, but also happens on Venus or even Earth. Early probes to Venus were crushed even before the impact and Venus is a rocky planet.
It's unlikely that anything will "hit" the core of Jupiter, as only the first layer and the clouds are really gas. Below it, the pressure is so great the gas becomes like a liquid.
Jupiter's layers are actually quite interesting and become really awesome when realizing the size of them.
Yes, comparing several unsecure sources in German and English, the second sentence does not follow the first one. So it's either completely out of context or just made up.
I switched my voice mail off, so I don't need to check my messages, because "the leaving of a message is one half of a social contract which is completed by the checking of the message.
If that social contract breaks down then all social contracts break down. We decent into anarchy."
It can serve as a form of combat training, especially for close-quarters combat. I used to play with some soldiers on an Army base who would train with paintguns for just that reason. They said that the military laser systems were rampant with cheaters and they also wanted the soldiers to feel the sting of being shot. (This was 10 years ago, maybe they have improved the laser systems since then.)
Lasers you say? Will be legally banned as well. Have been on the public shit list for the last 10 years already ("Laserdrom").
I thought all the early Nazi TV transmissions are already dispersing and that after a hundred years/lightyears any regular transmission will become white noise.
Any inner or inter galactic transmission would have to be specially designed for that purpose.
As far as I understand the subject, using https bookmarks would be sufficient. That's what I use for any serious https site, like banking. I bookmark the https login page and only use this. That of course makes my bookmarks the next point of attack.
Why not play Hard Drive Roulette and throw a WD, Seagate and whatever else you can find in -at the same time-? Sure, your drives won't all have exactly the same read/write speed, but the odds of those drives having anything in common hardware defect wise is minuscule.
My ex-employer practiced that for a couple of years on my request. But it's so "easy" to just by two or more disks for a RAID from the same "special offer", so they are probably not following that policy anymore.
I've seen too many people have the same problem on harddisks they bought at a single time. Quantum/Maxtor Fireball, the Deskstars, one or two Fujistu models and now the big 7200.11. Going for similar models from two (really) different vendors should do wonders.
Middle Eastern leaders talk of destroying Israel because it plays well to the masses and the Iranian leadership are crazy like foxes in this regard. These leaders themselves live comfortable privileged lives and will not act like the young suicide bombers they employ as cannon fodder. The mad-dog Arab who will do anything is a propaganda tool meant to scare the shit out of the West. And it works. This is the interesting part that many don't see. In former times, a leader could speak to a specific target group and speak over the top without any danger. Now, that is impossible, as international media picks up eveything. That means that the whole world is laughing when American presidential candidates humilitate themselves in public by stating Darvin was wrong and the world is only 6000 years old. This also means that when an Iranian president needs to deliver necessary propaganda to his own people, that this sounds alarming in many western countries. So two problems: Politicians needs to deliver targeted messages and we need to filter out what is really meant and what of it are jzst exaggerations for special interest groups.

What about a British surplus aircraft carrier, never even used and yet to be built?

Y2.01K? That's surely a plot of the hard disk industry.
Everybody knows that Y2010 are only Y1.963K.

So all we need is to dig another hole of a similar size to get rid of the rising sea levels?
Sounds like a plan.
Yes, the scene was frightning.
So you better not type "google" into google.
What do you mean "bring back"? Has there been a more powerful successor to UUCP been invented yet?
(Still using UUCP over SSL/TCP to smarthost for emails. Can switch that back to direct modem connection easily, still have the config.)
Only if the postergirl holds a laser gun.
Or at least an AK-47.

Siemens sold the same stuff to Germany/German operators.

If x86 dies, which it is in the process of doing, Microsoft will port Windows to run on SPARC, ARM, PPC, whatever comes next.
You must be new. There already was a PPC port and a speculated Sparc port as well. That was, what, 10 years ago?

as it will take another 11 years for a Debian version to be released which then includes Ocatave 3.0.
to destroy the Arachnid threat.
