Here on Earth we have the Sun to power the whole planet, which can then be distilled down to more power dense forms. That doesn't exist in space.
I could be wrong about this, but I heard there was talk of Sun power actually existing in space, outside of Earth! Something about Copernicus and a heliocentric solar system, but like I said, I could be wrong about this...
Thats actually due to the 100 million Chinese residents that are required to post flames about capitalist societies on slashdot in order to keep their computer license.
Because posting your opinion on Slashdot is such a great way to reach the world...

It's the ass, you n00b!
But this is irrelevant. The most sensible choice and the one Wired is advocating is a distributed client that runs when the system is not being used for gaming.
> will users have a choice concerning whether to so use their consoles' spare cycles, or will it happen without their concent or even overt knowledge?
Obviously the more control the user has, the better. But anything would be better than nothing.
> Will they be able to decide which project gets the use of their machine's time?
See above.
> And what if someone comes up with an entertainment use for those cycles...?
No doubt it will result in a story being submitted to Slashdot.
And meanwhile, start building a better space shuttle.
We spend all these billions on defense... if we were to scrap 1 or 2 of the least useful weapon systems, we'd have pleny of money to build a new shuttle and either colonize the moon or send someone to mars.
But what I'm refering to is, does the mere fact that you exist in a timeline before you were born mean that you can tell your father to run into a nuclear firestorm without any posibility of him losing his ability to father you?

should have thought a little harder before asking:
..in one of your environment/shell startup files
export MANPAGER=less
much better!
What really bothers me about the OpenBSD man pages is that a "/" search doesn't highlight the matches!
Is there a way to make it behave more like GNU man ?

If they don't respect America's claim to the moon, I'll wager Taiwan becomes the 52nd U.S. state along with Puerto Rico.
Ahhh, the advantages of not having a proper modern legal system
If it was Europe trying to pull this shit, we'd have a second defendant!
Total Annihilation was the king of RTS.
This is the best possible news!
I do not envy those in charge of NASA. :-/
That's ok; I'll do enough envying for the both of us.
Or vice-versa.
omg omg this is such a novel concept
no one has ever predicted this would happen!

I am sorry, but some mistakes are unpardonable. I hope you had a good life... *ZAAAP!*
No, see, that would have been funnier this way:
ICAAN!
US: You can't.
ICAAN!
US: You cannot.
ICAAN!
US: No, You can't!

Microsoft, Yahoo, and Google can do more good for China if they do not get blocked.
Didn't you mean Cheerio?
Look, doughnut seeds!
There are many houses that do not have access to natural gas, and so heat with electricity.
What planet do you live on?

I don't know if you could do that.
But what I'm refering to is, does the mere fact that you exist in a timeline before you were born mean that you can tell your father to run into a nuclear firestorm without any posibility of him losing his ability to father you?
That as long as you remain back in time, your father becomes unkillable... because if he was killed, you wouldn't exist?
that is a literal eleven...
