Without getting overly technical, that's not feasible because it's necessary to have a significant percentage of the thrust be variable and steerable. While the SRB nozzles can gimbal a bit, the thrust is totally predetermined.
Also, I don't see sitting next to huge steel cylinders of ammonium perchlorate/aluminum powder as being safer than the cryogenic gasses used by the SSMEs. There was much resistance at the outset of the shuttle program to using solid fueled boosters on a manned vehicle, and those concerns are still valid.
No, I'm not a rocket scientist.
So what's wrong with posting a story like this and (by implication) saying, "Hey, you might see this story somewhere else, but to us it appears to be baseless"?
The news is not that Red Hat appears to violate GPL -- the news is that someone is seriously (and possibly erroneously) claiming that.
Actually it's more of a lesson to register as a member of a third party. ANY third party, regardless of how well their platform matches your beliefs. By doing so you will:
(a) encourage the inclusion of additional parties in debates,
(b) in some states, relieve the third party candidates from having to collect large numbers of signatures to gain access to the ballot,
(c) appear to be more of a threat to the republicrat status quo,
(d) derive whatever satisfaction you can from backing the underdog and
(e) be able to point to the !R, !D by your name in the voter registration rolls, hold your head in your hands and moan, "Don't blame me, man!"
Um, the board deals with Apple (including the software for Windows that they release), not specifically Macintosh... regardless of how many people may or may not experience the installation problem cited.
(1) MPAA and RIAA will need to bribe (excuse me, make political donations) many more politicians (which are what the judges will have become under this system)
(2) The cost of CDs and DVDs will inevitably rise as the trade groups recover the additional expense of bribing this new multitude.
(3) Sales of these items will drop as the price rises (imagine that!)
(4) This will of course be blamed on piracy, spawning yet another generation of special-purpose legislation.
Anyhow... um, yeah. I'm not fond of the idea of electing judges anyhow, although I think something needs to be done. How about keeping the system of appointing and confirming (in legislature) as done in most states... but ballots include the names of existing judges and you can vote to fire them?
Hmm. Listing my number (unless I submit to extortion) is a signifigant change in my service. This would void my one year contract and exempt me from any early termination fees, I'd think... There is probably a clause in the contract that allows them to change their obligations without allowing me to change mine on a whim, but it would be fun to see them defend several thouseand individual consumer fraud actions against them...

I'm not sure I recall correctly, but I think you can SIGQUIT the copy of nfsiod in question to deal with this problem?

Not a good idea.
