I've always been very impressed by the timetables NASA is using. It must be an enormous task to plan so many years ahead into the uncertain future, not sure if the funding will be there./me tips my hat to them
"Why are these the only approved OSs: Windows XP Professional/Windows XP Home Edition/ Windows 2000 Professional/Windows Millennium Edition/ Windows 98 Second Edition"
Probably so they won't have to support any other OS that could be installed on the device. Just a normal case of preventing annoying/too difficult support questions.
I agree that a lot of it won't be used, but I do think it's good that they add enough software so that you can use all the machine's options right out of the box:)
Just in case you're not familiar with it, "Jackass" is the name of a MTV show where some weird people do all kinds of weird stunts where they often hurt themselves.
I wasn't cussing him, I wouldn't cuss an Aussie, they're fun people:)
I would consider it, if they would give me a good salary and the benefits then I'd probably do it.
I hear you crying WHY!!!??? Simple, I bought an apartment and I'd like to pay for it. I've also got a girlfriend I'd like to marry, problem is, she is from Thailand and I'm Dutch. Since she's foreign, she would have to take an integration course and exam. That shit costs money.
If Microsoft can pay for that, I'm all for it, BUT that does not mean that I will like their products, but if I'm on the inside, I would try to change them for the better as well.
Can't read the article at the moment, but here are my tips for using a mobcam.
- Take a lot of pics in different modes - Don't be afraid to throw away the crap ones - Don't trust the display on the phone, your monitor has a lot better quality.
I'd like to see more research into replicator technology (maybe we will get there after enough nano-research?) If we get replicators, we can solve a lot of problems at once:
- Food, nobody would have to grow hungry again - Money, nobody would need it ever again - Fuel, no more dependancies on oil - Nuclear waste/pollution, easy to clean that up now - Living forever, refreshing the building blocks of our bodies - etc.
The only problem I can see here (and I'm sure there are more) is nano-warfare. As in "Let's make a nanobot that can kill all people with a certain DNA profile", that's the only thing I'm afraid of.
I think it will take a long time before we finally have that technology, but I'm afraid I won't live to see that (and I'm still hoping to have about 70 years ahead of me to live to the ripe old age of 95)
Good ideas, except for the Windows 98 reference. If I'm not mistaken, sasser (like MsBlast) uses a hole in the Windows XP code, not the '98 code since it doesn't have that stuff.
So people using '98 are safe from that stuff and people using the NT based system are in danger of becoming infected (if they haven't patched up)
Slashdot Mirror
Well, that's the last time I try to help the people here by saving them from pop-up hell with loads of crap tubgirl (and worse) images.
Cool, thanks for the info, it is interesting :)
This A-hole thinks it's funny to link to a tubgirl-ish site. Please, don't go there.

That's correct, it's the Department of Energy.
I don't know why they would need it, but that's just because I don't know anything about the work of the DOE (not being an american and all that)
I know, I was just curious :)
and IMHO being curious is good.
50 trillion calculations per second.
Wow, that's darn fast.
I wonder if that processing power could be used for rendering like was done by Weta and how the performance could compare to their renderfarm.
3. Tax private non-retail sales of watercraft
What's watercraft? Like witchcraft, but wetter?
Wow, that's a lot of storage, is that in one drive?
If it is, then what if the drive fails?
How pissed are you gonna be?
It's one of the reasons I have MULTIPLE harddrives in my pc.

"Too much software"
:)

Personally, I care.
After the fantastic HL1, I'm still holding on to the hope that this will be just as good or better.
My hopes have been crushed a few times though
- Master of Orion 3
- Deus Ex 2
Yeah, I know, but I clarified it just to be sure :)
Dirty Sanchez's are cool

"I recently had a bad fall and ended up in hospital (no need to mention the shopping trolley and the amount of alcohol that caused this situation)"
You work for MTV Jackass ???
So the only people that can be succesfully scanned are Vulcans? :)
I've never seen one of those cry
Easy answer: YES
I would consider it, if they would give me a good salary and the benefits then I'd probably do it.

Draw your own conclusions!
I mean, really WOW.
:)
If they can pull it off succesfully, then it could be a giant blow to the MS empire.
Could be cool

Just a few simple but handy tips I use
Thanks man, I'll remember to do it like this from now on (I don't know basic HTML true, but I'm quite the technician :) Gimme hardware any day)
P.S. I wasn't trying to karmawhore, don't really give a rat's ass about that.

hehe, funny, normally I see people complaining about the USA-bashing that usually goes on here.
Oh, and the write-up deserves a high score for being funny, it's a little thing called comedy pronounced als sarcasm.
Nah, that was my girlfriend.
;)
And she wasn't dying
Too bad the site's down.
