you are exactly right
The region marked out around China has as much population as the whole of the U.S combined - so no excuses, and YES - George Bush has the worst environmental record of ALL your presicdents throughout history.
Vote John Kerry - for the danity of the rest of the world. I beg you.
(insert communist jokes here).
Duhhh, China is not communist truely. Its more of a dictatorship. There are no marxist nations in the world at the moment - the closest are the highly affluent Scandinavian nations such as Finland..
Hello Neal, You have made a point of studying aspects of the history of science and scientific thought. Would you aggree that with the onset of ARPANET (the world wide web..) much of our great minds are constrained themselves to a subset of potential breakthroughs based on our mimicing of real world metaphors via the web as opposed to genuinely original work?
No Gnome sucks. I always disliked it and when I set Slackware 10.0 up that was the clincher - it screwed up my entire X11.... KDE is refreshingly superior to gnome. If I want an alternative, I'll look to IceWM or Fluxbox or something..
I disagree with Hindenberg hysteria theory. People still travel in zeppelins - they are cool Air ships were superceded by long range passenger aircraft (faster) more than it being a safety issue..
I agree that orbit and alternative fuel etc. have to be long term goals but in the short term, maximimum passengers etc. sounds more useful if space tourism is the goal. They need to be able to charge passengers for the near space option before they can make money and get space flight established in the world. Then they can start to push the bar out to orbit and beyond.
Meanwhile:
White House press secretary Scott McClellan said President Bush called to congratulate the SpaceShipOne team. Astronauts aboard the international space station also sent their best wishes.
Why does he get McLellan do do his bidding.
I hope he is not trying to leverage this as a Republican achievement. Bush's space policy involves funding NASA'a overpriced mission to Mars nonsense - something which is so expesive and unneeded -(like war in Iraq) that it could potentially turn tax payers off space travel for good. THese X-prize guys are the reverse of this..
It's spelled s-p-a-c-e mister president.
There are those who think that DirectX is some magical piece of software that installs on you r computer and allows you to play all these new amazing games - wrong.
The major graphics card manufacturers bring out hardare support for advances such as volumetric fog effects..etc. Basicaly all the new reflections and textures etc.
There then has to be a way ion software to talk to this hardware.
The 2 main ways are OpenGL (multiplatform), and Direct3D(DirectX) - Windows only:/
They both to the job. DirectX might do a little more but only fractionally - and not enough to justify it over a ful multiplatform choice.
The very latest OpenGL version (that I know of) is OpenGL 1.5 though there may be something newer now. The latest DirectX is DirectX 9.0C as far as I know.
Well they decided to use OSS for the sound which is a bit disappointing to me as I use ALSA on Slackware 10. Im excited about this though. I cant wait to get the binary and set it up at home.
That dimwit of a president of yours will soon be gone, and that money will be used to repair the already inflicted damage on your country, a litle bit might be left for it to operate on a shoestring.
Yeah, I knew I should have studied in North Korea. Forget binary trees and linked lists. Lets get straight to studying MS buffer overload vulnerabilities and haxor tactics...
What scares me is that if they lost such a huge spacecarft can you imagine what else they could have easily "misplaced" without anyone knowing???
Yeah, nucear chocolate even.
Same for their jam company. Dont open the lid to tast or you cannot sue them for food poisoning.
Dont touch that, woooohh you touched it didnt you. Touching leads to curiosity - curiosity leads to meddling. Meddling leads to opening the case. Opening the case leads to the dark side...

Hey,
Could you send me some details about what you use.
I want to set it up at home so I want to be sure there are no troubles ehen I begin.
Im using Slackware 10.0 2.4.26 - in x86 mode with Via onboard sound card, GeForce FX5700 VTD 256, 512 mb ram,
Atrhlon64 3000+ s754. **ALSA** sound
Im pretty sure I need to download OSS if I want to play. ALSA is not supported by DOOM3.
Any issues/pointers you can give me regarding OSS would be appreciated....
Im using Linux official nV drivers (61.11)
I agree. The ONLY thing that mad me buy my MSI GeForce5700 ober a Radion was Linux drivers.
Thats not really where people get confused.
:/
