we could develop something like the Patriot missile defense system for extraterrestrial bodies so things like this would not happen
Breaking stone (ie. meteor) to several
pieces does not help. Every piece still causes
damages. And damages are not smaller when
stone is splitted to several pieces.
Would it *really* hurt Microsoft if the Windows 1.0 code went public? I can't see how -- it would probably cost more to duplicate the years upon years of incremental improvements than to reimplement ground-up; Likewise release of the original AT&T sources could in no way pose a threat to Sun's sales of Solaris
Even that copyright ends, it do not indicate
that source of product will come available. Microsoft just can not require license (or
payment) for someone using Windows 1.0.
If source is availbale (way or other) then it
is public domain.
One other thing. I *like* X. I really couldn't live without the network transparency - editing files in co-located facilities via ssh with X-forwarding is just *so* much nicer than using 'vi'...
Yes. I agree.
However, I have noticed that on some newer linux
(perhaps much newer emacs), command "emacs" tend too take too long time to start, so I ended to quite often to use "emacs -nw".
Well, these newer emacs tend to be slower on startup even on text mode (but not that bad than
on X11) compared to machines where software is
about 5 year old.
Think about it: if they make this war appear entirely sanitary, with the only dead body being that of Saddam Hussein, won't the next war be much easier to package, brand, and sell to the American sheeple?
My impression is that that worked quite well on
previous war agaist Iraq (aka Gulf War).

Warning: A Slashdot article published on 3/13/03 incorrectly stated that the Mozilla 1.3 final
release is applying machine learning to autocomplete. Please keep in mind that Mozilla 1.3 does NOT
contain the data collection or the learning code that we talk about on
this page. That code only shipped with 1.3 BETA and was taken out in time for the 1.3 final release.
Data collection and learning will only work with the 1.3 BETA builds.

Well, missiles do not reach satelites. Most relay satelites are on geo-sycronous orbit. This mean that they are far from earth.

(after all that meteor exploded)
Or someone sends Army to agaist Sun? Let's change Sun's government!
Someone may think that climate changes may then kill some current empires...

That what is written X years ago becomes public domain. Linux 0.9 is not same than Linux 2.5.
Yes. I agree.

My memory is perhaps betraying me, but was that something do with SysRq? Not about CTRL-ALT-DELETE.
Lets see...
That it about 160 W -- via induction. Micro wave oven produces 600 W.
Good way to cook user?
Is it that Token-Ring died if there was one dead node on ring?
Anyway, message is that server is busy.
Is that, what is called /.ing?
Are you talking about some kind "killer" satelites or what?
Electro Mangentic Pulse does not seem practical to me.
Although it is not war for you, the rest of world thinks that USA is on war agaist Iraq.
Your Constitution does not matter for the rest of world.
Time when data is valuable is probably quite short. And decrypting and analyzing data may take quite long.
It is intresting to see that Saddam is your biggest danger.
(And help USA was efforts?)
Well, mozilla's GUI is witten with XML.
On linux (an on unix) mozilla installer wants
destroy target directory, if it is not empty,
when installing.
So just overlaid is not possible (installer clears
target directory anyway.)
( That mozilla installer is on these 'sea' files,
for example:
mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-1.3-sea.tar.gz )

Perhaps spaceship can be put to scroll.
