Microsoft, a huge capitalist company, and China, a huge communist country, are direct opposites from each other.
The fact that China is dictatorial and repressive is besides the point. If you think about it, Linux and communism have a lot in common with each other, in terms of their ideals of shared ownership.
China and M$ may both be tyrants, but that is about all they have in common.
You sure aren't doing much to disuade my opinion that women are too high maintenance.
I mean, if a guy truly has to use a dysfunctional computer setup like the one picuterd in order to get laid, then I don't blame him for relying on pr0n.
I was just making a joke about their tech support being busy.. sheesh.
Many read the article and like me made the mistake of assuming it would be a manned flight.
I just didn't think another probe would make news... we are already sick of hearing about Mars explorers, and now we are suppossed to be excited about another moon probe?
And if you discount the two Russian ground accidents (oviously the Soviet Union was never much concerned with loss of life), you end up with a much smaller number...
I wasn't trying to focus on the death aspect of so much... it just striked me as really funny to associate an Apollo 13 type situation with Indian tech support.
It'll probably be somewhat scalable like UT2K3. That game is playable on everything from a Geforce 4 MX on up, but is said to be able to bring out the full power of the 9800 pro.
Seven hours before its scheduled moon landing, the Indian spacecraft Chandrayaan-I experienced a failure in one of the primary oxygen tanks.
Experts speculate that an improvised CO2 filter could have been developed to give the indunauts enough time to return safely to Earth, but unfortunately Indian tech support was too busy with American clients. Four hours later, the indunauts were dead.
Unwilling to accept total loss, the IASA decided to ssh over to the navicomputer and fire all thrusters toward the moon. The resulting impact created the largest artificial moon crater to date, 60 meters in diameter and approximately 200 meters deep.

You forget, the NASA cylinders would be certified for a drop on Mars.

No, completely irrelevant.

Well, this doesn't suprise me in the least.

Too much work..
I was thinking something more along the lines of this
Its an awesome case, even if you don't go to LANs.
And money isn't such an issue for the Navy.. they can afford the Xserver instad of an equivalent cheaper x86 based system.

Well, I am more keen on irony than absurdity.

Hilarious, dude. Did you make that up yourself?
I give you a virtual +5...
Well... no. Most M$ users may not be as technically adept as you, but that doesn't make them idiots.

Both groups think they are 1337 for using something unusual. Its their way of "expressing" themselves.
Thank you for making my point. Everything you said also applies to this story about an equaly stupid iMac desk.
Just build yourself a slick new PC to go with your slick new desk.
And toss the imac.

iDunno
Just look at all the air around that desk. Complete waste of space!
Instead, get something like this.
That's all the desk you should ever need.

Some do. I think its great news. I may be getting ready to be rid of my XP box once and for all...

Hey, its a high risk job, everyone knows that.
But given an opportunity to go into space, I think the vast majority of us would jump at the chance.

New record breaking moon crater

Nonsense! Life as a machead doesn't appeal to you?
Heh, well I guess:

They both think they are 1337 just for using an alternative platform.

When there is a way to commonly implement that, tell me. THAT would be news. These 2.5" drives are not.
