Even then, it would be of no use - if the Beagle can't open itself, Sprit's arm woulden't have enought torque to help out. And beagle would be probably covered in dust.
Sure, but it could take close photographs, and NASA could send them to ESA, so that they would better understand what went wrong.
But then again, as you said, It would probably be faster to send a manned mission to discover it...
But you should be a citizen of one of those 28 to get excluded, if I've understood correctly. AFAIK, the Sept 11th terrorists weren't, although they'd lived in Europe.
I'm not perfectly sure, however - please correct if I'm wrong.
...it was actually when iTunes for Windows was rolled out - not when the iTMS originally started. But I never saw that keynote which announced the original launch, so it could have been already there, too.
He's trying to play media that he legally purchased on Linux.
Really? That was the DVD-case, yes. But iTMS is not available in Norway, at least not yet. Where did he purchase those tracks from then? EBay? Yes, but... oh, wait...
Or, maybe you've 2 boxes, one with Mac OS X or Windows and the other with linux, and you'd like to use the Linux box as your jukebox but still shop iTMS. This is as I would do (well, theoretically - I'm European, so I can't use iTMS, and I also consider 128 kbit/s to be a rather low bitrate).
Or, may be one day you can run iTunes under Wine, but altough you can use iTMS with it, you'd rather rely on native (and more lightweight) jukebox such as JuK.
And note! All this without quality penalties of re-encoding.
ah..wait, they're all made in Santa Cruz, California these days....
That is some damn outdated version of their history. Their present name is just SCO, their HQ is nowadays located in Utah and their Nasdaq ID has changed from SCOC to SCOX.
(Just kidding - actually Linus left the school about a year before I entered it, and besides my primary box (my laptop) runs Mac OS X aka BSD, although I have another box, too, which runs Linux.)
So although this has been an interesting case, it seems rather irrelevant to me for the future of DeCSS.
No, not for the future of DeCSS itself, because traditionally Scandinavians never apply new laws retroactively - or well, at least this is the case in Finland, but I suppose Norway and Sweden are somewhat similar. So: as DeCSS is legal under present law, it will be forever.
But for the circumventability of future DRM technologies, yes.
"making GTK2 apps use QT" != "Unifying" "making GTK2 apps use QT" == "How to migrate off GTK2
Don't be ridiculous. There are many applications that are built completely around GTK(2). I, for one, usually prefer KDE over Gnome, but I've always found it much harder to live completely without GTK apps that completely without QT apps.
Both are great toolkits with their own pros and cons - just use the right one for the right job.
Personally, though, the feature I'd most like to see in GTK would be the chance to move the menubars of all apps to the top of the screen like on Mac OS, just as I can do with QT apps.
Valid point, and there are other issues too, even, if you're no entirely anti-MS. For example, if you'd be willing to write right-to left languages like Hebrew or Arabic, you'd be completely out of luck.
I have a bit similar issue, as it is currently impossible to get any native word processor for OS X with Finnish language tools (there are classic and X11 alternatives) - MS has them for Windows, but not for Mac. This make me unwilling to buy Office X, even though I like Excel, because I don't want to pay for word processor without support for my native language, and the sole Excel without other office programs would be more expensive for me than the whole suite, as there are no academic editions of the separate programs.
Currently I'm running OOo 1.0.3 on top of X11, but now I'm looking forward for KOffice to replace it soon.
Well, thank you for your information, although I wonder what could be the possible side effects for downgrading two KEXTs... Perhaps I have to hope that someone with better knowledge of Mach will examine if this has any potential side effects.
From the article: The largest complaint about the mini AlBook was heat. There was lots of it.
But it was never any problem for me... however Apple recently released a battery update for it to make it run cooler. Well, it does, but now I do have a problem: the fscking noise, when fan is running most of the time, although quite slowly, but still. (It starts every time the temp will rise over 52 degrees C, and won't stop until it has fallen back below 47 - the pre-update numbers were 64 and 59.)
Previously, it ran only during high CPU load, but now it runs during regular web browsing etc. This really sucks, I truly wish I could somehow remove that damned update! But I don't think there is any clever way to do it.
I wish best luck for it, too, but any fixes do not change the fact that shuttles are damn expensive and quite a cost ineffective devices to operate - and unfortunately NASA has had a budget cut after budget cut after budget cut.
Who the hell just modded me offtopic? Yet even 2 days after I had posted my comment and it had already been modded as insightful! It's definitely not offtopic, according to context. Did you read the parent, too? Did you?! You should only moderate according to context. If a comment is a reply to another one, the context is the parent, not the original post. Know that!
Bah! Every other guy here has had ZX80, C64 or something like that. But the first box I learned to use properly was an IBM ThinkPad 486 SL/33 (SL is like DX with power management) - equipped with OS/2 2.1. I still have the manual of that OS/2, although I haven't posessed any media for a looong time. That book is yet from the era when manuals were still Manuals, and it really teached me how to use an OS. Oh, those times... *sigh*.;-)
And when you'll now think I'm 16 years old or something... well, I'm 24, and a professional sysadmin.
Accept hypothetically that some Linux coder got a little too happy with his cut and paste from BSD code and left out some copyrights.
It's not like that. The coder could well have been Linus himself, and the reason is below (verbatim copy of a comment posted to LWN, emphasis mine):

Ok, I read an article on groklaw (I think) that made a pretty good guess as to what SCO's claim is. They are claiming that the settlement reached between BSD and novell required that certain files in BSD have copyright notices added. The files that SCO is complaining about were added to linux before the settlement was reached and since the settlement was only made known to Novell and the BSD developers (sorry, can't quite remember exactly who was involved in the settlement) no one knew to add the copyright notices to linux. Now that SCO has possibly inherited the Novell side of the settlement, they're trying to claim copyright infringement because linux has these files without the notices. Even though they were released under the BSD license without the notices before the settlement.
Oh well, I'm starting to wonder if I'll live long enough to see this whole mess sorted
get your facts straight. I hate it when people reference the McDonalds coffee case and don't know what the fuck they are talking about.
What I know about the case is, that the coffee temp still was no more than 184F. When a coffee or a tea is properly made, the water should be boiling, aka 212F. You should then only drink it, when you carefully test it with spoon and think it has cooled enough to be drinkable. And as you know it's boiling, you should avoid spilling it at any costs - if you do anyway, that's your fault.
This is common sense, at least here in Europe (well, in most countries anyway). But it seems to me, that the crazy U.S. system expects everyone to be capable of reading EULA-like lawyer speech, but at the same time requires "childish behaviour with this thing could kill you" -style warnings included everywhere, expecting people can't think by themselves at all.
Sure, there are always people who really can't think by themselves, but here it's considered to be their problem, not manufacturer's. There are many reasons to blame McDonalds, but this isn't really one of them.
I think you mean Fahrenheit. For me, the the new CPU temp triggering the fan on is 52 degrees C, and it will shut off when temperature has fallen back below 47 degrees C, according to Temperature Monitor.app. The old numbers respectively were 64 degrees C and 60 degrees C, IIRC.
Actually this rather sucks for me, because with my 1st generation 12" PBook the fan actually runs most of the time (well, close at least), and thus the whole box feels much more noisy. Granted, little below 60 degrees C was a bit hot, but never any _real_ problem for me.

No, it can't, as told here on thread above

Quite an impressive uptime, have to say. Let's hope it will last yet at least as long, as it has already lasted...

my IBAN account number...
...I did it again. :)
Why would anyone buy an iPod too small to hold their entire collection.
Perhaps, because someonehere cannot afford the more expensive large-HD version, you insensitive clod!
But if you insist, I can post my IBAN account number here, so you can donate the necessary euro-$$$ for me.

The answer to your other question is that of course, there are, but as one with deep knowledge in this subject has taught me in my school, I think the distros made in Finland are far superior to those, which are not.
(Just kidding - actually Linus left the school about a year before I entered it, and besides my primary box (my laptop) runs Mac OS X aka BSD, although I have another box, too, which runs Linux.)
