Would a leak this size be visible from outside of the station? I.E. would you see a small stream of gas? And since the ISS is broken into compartments, they should be able to seal each compartment and iron the leak down to a single compartment. Then its a matter of finding the leak itself.
Only if you can make the CD/DVD drive first in boot priority-certainly possible with a hardware mod, but probably difficult to do. One way VIA could make this boot faster is to hard-wire the BIOS with preset values, no customization.
Never thought of taking a knoppix distro to shop with-neat idea. I like Knoppix cause you don't have to partition anything, and with modern CD drives, it runs fast enough for me.
Theoretically, some devices will run under Win98 with WinME drivers if they are written correctly. Some companies stopped writing drivers for 98 a while ago and told their users to substitute the ME drivers (case in point: some video card manufacturers, modem manufacturers).

Windows 98 Phased Out

Third party support? Excuse me for not submitting an application. For one thing, nobody will need help installing Win98 because Microsoft phased out retail of the OS in late November/early December. Second off, after about a year most calls would be aggravating at the least-because the die-hards with Win98 left on their hard drives are probably less tech-savvy than your average guy. And the calls worth merit-from people who know a little about how their computer works-will probably be related to driver or patch issues, because of the phase out. Talk about a stressful job!
I agree that 98se was definitely better from a gaming standpoint that win2k. Windows 2000 was just too corporate-centric to run any games. And XP had early adoption issues. But I'm running XP now, and I find it to be faster, but only after being properly optimized. Check your services out, disable ones you don't need. I you want every ounce of performance, there are plenty of ways to get it in XP. Although it still has more overhead than a good *nix install.
Redhat kernel updates are a completely different beast from actually buying completel new OS versions from microsoft. Consider also that a Redhat user is typically corporate and has bandwidth/resources to frequently upgrade. Your typical windows user will wait until they get a new computer. And I doubt that even a very casual user will wait more than 5-7 years to by a new system-even if it's just an e-machine or a dell.
The best way to make robotics produce results is to create a robotics "scene" that doesn't limit itself to people who come from universities. And it should allow innovation to become widespread, instead of giving it to the government so it can be ignored. That said, "Robot Wars" kinda cheapens robotics by turning it into something that resembles the WWF. Not the best way to attract new minds-although it will generate interest.
It will be "News for Nerds" if there are any documented conversion stories that come ut of this article. Otherwise it's just like half of the pro-GPL posts on Slashdot.
Personally favorite milestone: Mozilla Firebird. A beta that works so well-and a Mozilla variant that doesn't make me reach for a book while pages are loading.
Dual boot Windows/Red Hat (Although Red Hat isn't on my new box yet-next week), BMW, 1985 Ford F-150 that still refuses to die (and it's a bitch to paralell park-crew cab, long bed).
OK, so Duchovny is not a bad actor. But his "performance" in XIII (which is actually what I've been playing this week) is undeniable sub-par even as video game "acting" goes.
Now I can play Microsoft flight simulator...oh wait. Does anyone out there know of any Linux games that require a joy stick? I'm a keyboard/mouse junkie myself...
I produce very few pieces of paper that have sensitive information like this. I am more worried about the information on my computer, which is sensitive. Companies, on the other hand, do need to worry.

It's obviously important, they brought him back from the dead!
With this pattern, it's going to be a good thing.

Boot to Knoppix (need a hardware mod) with maybe a little something extra and us it to put a full distro on the HD and overwrite DRM.

I found win98 to be much better than winME.

Hell, screw what they *want* for dinner, make something and put it on the table. Problem solved, my work is done here.

Owned by M$ too. Anybody else seen all of the Penny Arcades lamenting the fixation the industry has on Halo?
I always thought that Quake was juxt as good on Linux as on the PC.

Right on. I have a doberman, and I don't even have to deal with the Jehovah's Witnesses!
