It should be freely available to use by the people whose taxes pay for its development, i.e. the Australian people and companies. AFAIK, Dell, Microsoft and friends are not australian companies and therefore should have to pay the $4 per chip requested
I don't know too much about NASA and it's working/trials/tribulations etc, but from what I have heard they have experienced several large budget cuts over the course of the last few years, and have even had to use older equipment previously donated to the space museum as a result of these cuts. With what they have to work with I think they are doing a great job. They have my support 100% of the way.
Obviously you are not a nerd as such. 95% of *NIX users i know, admins, graphic artists etc have installed apache+mod_ssl and required a cert. With verisigns rediculously high prices, and the vast majority of these people not wanting to pay this much, they shopped around and found thawte. This is all in the normal system install/configuration phase. No brain power required, just common sense.
Pete Townshend has defined THE style for most rock/punk guitarists of our time. He was THE first to ever slide a microphone stand up and down the guitar (i think perhaps at the Isle of Wight festival) which has given inspiration to Sonic Youth's entire sound (i've never seen those guys play guitar without a screwdriver or something stuck under the stirngs). Also i beleive the Who were the first band to totally trash there instruments at the end of the set, im sure we all remember nirvana doing this. You have to think where would most of our major rock bands/idols be and what would they be doing to entertain there fans without the who?? These guys just did way too much for rock. I think they expanded the minds of some of the most influential artists of our time

That was exactly what I thought too, and would have made an interesting ask slashdot...

IIRC SuSE is an rpm based distro, so how is it possible that SuSE was around before redhat..?
