Why don't we just replace it along the way on one of those missions to the moon like the slashdot article above says. It would
A: be cheaper
B: be safer
C: not hinder other plans as easily
Since it could be "dropped off" on other missions, maby even build one there, zero g is supposed to be better for making some things, and i know the moon doesn't have zero g but would provide a good base of operations for things like that (as well as the international space station)
Just IMHO i would like to visit the moon, but i do think it's time to upgrade hubble + make it better.
Yeah, i'd like to see chess at the olympics. Wizard chess where taking an opponents piece means a battle that would have to be fought and won for the piece to be moved there. Would add a third demension to chess and playing with people would be awesome.
That just by switching to another os or hacking some registry key is the answer to everything. It's not that you can do this or that and minimize all of the problems it's the fact that you believe it's the only way. For example i just read:
When you can't even listen to your music without worrying about what programs may be installed on your computer, you need a different operating system.
Switching os's isn't the answer! hell i hate windows but i have to use it everyday for my job and ends up being a functional part of my life, i'm not going to just up and switch to linux or unix or even mac, i couldn't use them our software at work is all windows programming so not to put the others down i have a freebsd box at home, but the simple fact of not being able to run my windows box and be left alone is utterly rediculous.
I shouldn't have to go hack my registry or turn off autoplay to listen to an audio cd so it won't install malicious programs, i shouldn't be made to use mozilla or opera just to stop spyware from my computer. I like everything just the way it is and i don't want to go and alter my whole life because all of these RIAA assholes, stupid 14 year old kids in Germany writing viruses, and EVERY company that has EVER created a program that ever ran on my computer without my concent are all trying to basically hack my box which is illegal period.
Switching os's is good for a couple years then shit will come out for that one, and of course the intelligence of the user is always to blame.
I work for an ISP and we had a guy running a linux server, that thing got hacked every week i bet, thing was always crashing and causing major problems.
So it's not about educating the user, or switching software all the time or even turning everything off, where's the fun in that? and what happened to my freedom of choice then?
if i can't choose to use windows without being bombarded by viruses, pop-ups, malware, and spyware and everything else why even bother having a computer in the first place?
Having a choice is the most basic right and everyone is taking that away.

Seriously how much more do they think that they would get anyway?
I wouldn't buy any cd that's more than ~$12-$15 anyway at 15 songs an album that's 1 dolla per song.
I listen to the radio anyway, XM satellite radio is the way to go....
Didn't they just say that the price of cell phones is dropping becuase of advances in chip design?

Now it's time for laptop prices to take a dive...
First it's too much money to fix, now it's too dangerous

All windows xp users can only use 2cpu's, does this mean i can only run my "Quad Pumped" Intel on my Gentoo Box?
seems like a shameful waste of hardware to me.
