"By no reasonable metric does the Soyuz have a better safety or reliability record than the Shuttle." care to elaborate? (oh, and sure, the were recently "accidents" of Soyuz, mainly because some overhaul - but none of them fatal)
But Soyuz + Proton/Delta/(or the like); (of course apart from bringing down satellites...but how usefull is that anyway/how many times it was performed?)
Unfortunatelly, speed is far lower than Firefox. Of course Opera zealots say otherwise (disclaimer: Opera is MY main browser; on machine with 128MB it's my only choice apart from IE, so...), but what they say applies to lowest denominator: case with few pages open. I have 30, 40 pages open regularly - and Opera than becomes totally unresponive:( Reaction to clicking on a tab takes few seconds (if it reacts at all; and clicking again is dangerous because there's close button there; of course I can without problems open closed tab again in Opera, but this takes again much time...), mouse "deattaches" from the scrollbar (scrollwheel acts similarly) and, worse of all, sometimes whole transfer to/from Opera stops (I use OS without "max number of connections limit": win2k SP4), forcing me to restart Opera...Overall, Opera Software must really fix the behaviour of their browser with many sites open...

Buy few Soyuz return capsules from Russians, attach some simple deorbit device to them (no need to use whole original manuevering module I think), modify the interior so it will hold whole crew of the Shuttle (it will be a tough ride...but at least they'll return) and carry it in every mission.
Oh, and one more thing - it's hard to tell that this was leaked; it is completely public list (just that it wasn't put in the internet for easy acces, but if you wanted to see it before the "leak", you could)
It only contains names from one administrative province (out of almost 50 which existed back then (today their number is reduced significantly) - so you can imagine what would be the number on list that covers whole cuntry)...and on top of that it can't be trusted - right after release it was edited in uncontrolled way by internauts, who added many names, probably also deleted some...
Oh, and this ISN'T the list of spies, this is the list of people who were of interest for the former regime, including also opposition for example.
No, Xchat from silverex IS free. It's a compilation made by somebody else (after all code is still GPLd...)

What would you recommend for learning Python for almost absolute beginner (only little vey simple c; without understanding of object oriented programming)? And one more thing - written in very simple language (as you can tell from my errors, English is far from beeing my native languge...in which there are'nt any good Python books for begginers)
I, personally, would really like to know if there were any notable 2D games. Too bad most publishers think that nice 3D graphics sells the game (and I'm afraid that it's true...)
Of course they're different. But I've meant more something like "we can't even make such simple probes to work almost always as expected, yet, so perhaps it's not quite the time to play with more serious things"
I kinda disagree - sure, its landing systems are (were?) low cost...which also means they were simple in comparision to manned mission landing system. And if we can't make such simple systems to work everytime as expected... As for "human being much more adaptable landing computer" - if you look at the role human has in current manned landings...we're basically just a living cargo. If you look at any of the failures that happened during reentry, you'll see that there wasn't much that crew could do.
There's also a way of adding PCI slots to 3000 or 4000 - unfortunetelly it's also ridiculously expensive. BUT it could end up cheaper if you would add not only ethernet card, but also pci graphics and sound card...

Sorry, I don't have time right now for long response, but: 1. - You're right 2. - mostly wrong 3. - wrong totally
Exactly (I've read it in the papers; btw funny that it had any coverage at all, not worth mentioning imho...)

I meant "wrong" of course...
Wrocg, all of the OSes from parent post are GPL, excluding only BSDs
They didn't used ordinary analog TV tuner. They used the one for digital TV (quite popular in Europe right now)
DSL 115kbps up&down (old, not currently offered) - 38$ ADSL 640kbps down & 128kbps up - 42$

I hope somebody has thought about electromagnetic interference while designing this (but somehow, due to nature of this motor, I doubt it...)
And this attitude is called humour...british one, to be exact.

We see thanks to them how far from safe manned flight we are. Once we perfect unmanned missions, we can try to go there ourselfes.
Wait, are you trying to say that a prerequisite for superpower is being once ruled by UK? ;]

Well, here best Amiga configs are usually based on 1200.
