Sure, in 'our' bit of space we may be unique, but I am damn sure that the sheer size of the Universe predicts, by maths alone, that there will be a similar system as Sol.
Of course though, scientists, due to diligence and methology, cannot go on probable evidence produced by an infinate measure.
I run four Linux boxes at work, never let me down - the main web server (kernel 2.2.26) moves 1GB a day on local Intranet. And as you say, the only time needed for a reboot is when an third party motive is responsible (i.e. update kernel, power outage, etc.)
I have used Linux for 6 years, now 100% so... base Mandrake/Redhat originally, but tried gentoo too! (all still on their own boxes, I might add and still use -> 1000 days (more now)). But never having looked or used SuSe or Debian (and others)...
But Slackware 10 is truly excellent, and my cup of Linux:)
... I got the go ahead today to install a Linux machine in the training room of the Company where I work as Sysadmin - it will be running Slackware 10, KDE 3.2.3
I have been wanting to do this for some time, but always with reservation - but after trying Slackware 10 on my laptop, and then totally moving my last winders box 2000 -> Slackware 10 here at home, I feel the desktop has arrived, if not for the work place (due to legacy reliance on M$Office et al) but at least has arrived for most windows savvy USERS at home.
Most can't get over it's 'free' and 'free' to copy/give away legally, and they will be even more impressed when I set it up tomorrow!

Well, what we need is a filter on embedded URL's not from source to be ignored/dropped/NOW in browser code (not >/dev/null type solutions).
In addition, the Secretary of State has statutory powers to require us to take certain actions in the interests of national security, international relations and the detection of crime.
Big problem here is 'child pornography' is being used as a stepping stone to censorship on the Internet (as was 9/11 a stepping stone to the Big Brother approach to tagging/wathcing/montoring everybody in the name of terror we have now), and although BT is _not_ a Government owned Company, it is to a certain extent controlled by Billyliars Government.
This to me, although maybe done in good faith, is not the way to go.
What is needed is the sites/ISPs running this stuff shut down - and I cannot see how the FBI/CIA/Scotland cannot find them!
... even though they don't need it. But it looks good that they are an 'honest company' and buy all the licenses required by people that use these products - even licenses to kill.
This is a very good point, and what with all the Fox news bollocks and such, many, many young people (and many my age too) really get into doubt if it did happen at all - which makes me mad and want to slap them like Buzz Aldrin did.
...the greatest achievement man has done yet - I was 10 at the time, and can still remember looking up to the moon and thinking men were walking about on it
Still hurts when 50 'nodes' of the pelaton decide to crash all at the same time, in a cascade, rather like nodes on a M$ network. I wonder what this stuff was designed on...
As an aside, these guys are the best athletes in any event the world over.

Set Darl McBride on to them. OK, will will lose big time, but what a laugh on the way...
...you should say 'Known Galaxies'. No-one knows how big the Universe is. Plus no way are we looking at them all that we do know.
I think this is a terrible assumption to make.

Never a truer word spoke. Good one!
...is they (we?) need to sort out the cheating and manipulation in normal 'visit the booths' type voting first.
That is all engineered anyway, so until that is really squeaky clean, how can you trust an electronic vote?'

I suppose with eXtra Problems SP 2 coming out, and looooooongtimehorn arriving really sooooon, this is a serious question for home users to consider.
Submarine patents is the word Submarine patent - but do SCO have anything they actually 'own'?

the Secretary of State has statutory powers to require us to take certain actions
Read that bit like this -< "We have to do whatever the Government asks/tells us to do."
i.e. start to filter Internet 'content'.
In addition, the Secretary of State has statutory powers to require us to take certain actions in the interests of national security, international relations and the detection of crime.

Funnily enough, I installed Slack on my laptop 3 days ago. All went hunky dory... sort of.
I use Fluxbox as desktopWM, and it all worked great - unless I fired up a KDE/Gnome app - then fonts went HUGE (Mozilla here)
Buit, having a few years ;) experience with Linux, I re-ran /usr/X11R6/bin/xf86config and sorted.
BTW, pre-compiled Slackware is soooooo fast - nearly as fast as Gentoo built on box.

Who needs a 20Mb download, huh?
I was referring to M$ fixes here, not Moz
K-meleon, Moz based browser I use (and have for 3 years both at home and here at work on winders) was fixed by the users with a simple User_Pref

M$ have a funny logic - whatever makes them think people will pay $$$ for a Windows box/licence/BSOD's to run GPL 'free' OSS like GNU/Linux on it???
Also you don't need ID papers to get in here either...
