Moderators, read these comments before doing a moderation on them. Its not really a troll, simply a presentation of the story in a way that the average Joe on the street can understand and presentated in a light close to how the major Medias would really present it..
You haven't been paying much attention to the latest on in-situ propellent production that has been pushed by Zubrin. Basicly you only carry the fuel required to get you to the destination and when you are there you start a small chemical plant that creates the required return propellant out of chemicals present in the martian atmosphere. It is a proven process however its the kind simple and elegant solutions that don't seem to sit to well with today's NASA.
Ok I think you need to learn some basic physics here. A vacuum is a very very low pressure region with an (almost) total lack of air, or anything else for that matter. Any kind of fluid exerts pressure on its surroundings, yes that includes all the air around you, you dont notice it though because its generally pressing in equally from all sides. However if you take a glass bottle and pump all the air out of it, there is an imbalance because there is no long any air inside puhsing outwards. If you do that with a bottle thats weak enough it will simply collapse under the pressure of all the surrounding air. Would you like a monitor that does that spontaneously? If so make one with really thin walls on the CRT....
That sounds like an intelligent way to do it. With this I imagine you can't confuse users by just putting a fake extension on the filename in the hopes that someone will click on it and run it.
Well I do, got a squeaky fan? Pull the sticker off the axle cover, and the rubber plug if it has one two, put a drop or two of sewing machine oil in theres and its nice and quiet again.
webserver less than twelve hours after the problem was discovered Well referencing a patch that was actually released over a month ago does count as a less than 12 hour response time I guess...
Aren't patents valid for only about 20 years or so? If so it will expire in 2005, it just needs to be kept tied up in court for another 4 years to become a moot point anyway...

Interesting I note among the MOOSEs features is that it carries radar chaff. Would that be to confuse unfriendly radar in case you are forced to reenter in a hostile area or to make a massive return signal in your general area so you can be located?
You're the 3rd post after the FreeBSD post, I think you're losing your touch. I remember the days when the the *BSD is dieing trolls were all appearing instantly in relation to any BSD post. Things just arne't what they used to be. For all intents and purposes the *BSD Troll is dead.
Then by that reasoning they should be paying tax to whoever actually owns space, or that particular part of space? Do the Klingons have an account that they can be paid to anyway?
Well here something even simpler to do. Don't bother printing anything at all until you need them, but when you do modify the relevant logs before printing and print them ALL and say you always print them as they happen;]
Actually I think they were most likely peril-sensitive sunglasses. And were in the constant state you would expect to be in under a communist dictatorship...

Welcome back OOG, its been too long without your posts.
Its the short sightedness of people like you that is dooming the human race.

That must be some pretty good imagery they have considering almost the entire planet is rust coloured anyway...
How about a a big squared off IBM logo covered in borg tech. (cube)

They are part of the resource fork.

Lucky it was only a compact car and not your usual Yank SUV or there wouldn't be much of Pennsylvania left....
(you do you oil computers, right?

Actually its quite easy to find CowboyNeal in a haystack. Just set it on fire, he makes himself very easily found once you do that..
That would be cool, however a cooler keyboard mod i've seen is this (scroll down a page or two to the bottom photo).

The return address is always faked anyway, so the remove-reply offer at the bottom is somewhat pointless..

Well at least they can't patent this one, Wallace and Grommit have prior art.
$12 a year? Either you left out a K or the Chinese economy is _much_ worse than I thought it was...
