I vote that NASA gets out of the way and real engineers get to call the shots.
Guess where most of the "real engineers" are. NASA. SS1 is a deadend design and only governmental agencies(NASA, ESA, whatever the hell the Russian agency is called) have reached escape velocity.
but how much did that cost compared to the original Mercury missions
How much precedent did Mercury have and how much precedent did SS1 have?
And yet they're still more trustworthy than the mainstream media. That's how bad the far-right-wing Fox News and the barely-to-the-left-of-Fox-News CNN are.
Solaris is an OS. Solaris contains the Solaris kernel and the Solaris userspace tools.
SysV is an OS. The SysV kernel is a kernel.
System V is an OS. System V contains the System V kernel and the System V userspace tools.
Linux is an OS. The Linux kernel is a kernel.
GNU/Linux is an OS. GNU/Linux contains the Linux kernel and the GNU userspace utilities. Usually the GNU is implied. But frankly I'd rather omit the Linux part right now, considering how stupid Linus seems to have become recently.
Got it straight now? Oh wait, you're the one distributing the OSI Flavor-Aid.
Just how deep do you believe?
Will you bite the hand that feeds?
Will you chew it 'til it bleeds?
Can you get up off your knees?
Are you brave enough to see?
Do you wanna change it?
That's because Marx and Engels, although they are mostly full of shit their writings and translations of them are not full of bullshitting the language, and they said things with the objective of being understood, as opposed to not being understood, which is the point of much modern political writing.
Many, if not most, of the "gods" of ancient myth, could very well be real. But they weren't gods, they were aliens visiting earth for some reason. For some other reason, they're no longer here getting involved in our business.
Oooh! I know this one! There was a rebellion against Ra 5000 years ago and he, being the most powerful of the System Lords, controlled Earth at that point in time. Pretty much all of the rest were killed by either SG-1 or Replicators.
Judas hung himself. And Jesus may or may not be the second-in-command in Heaven now.
And everyone in this thread debating the factual status of the Bible is missing the point of a metaphor.
Google. Every piece of mission-critical software in the Googleplex is on Linux. Yes, there are a few end-user applications on Windows, but those could be entirely cut out of Google and Google would still be running fine.
Amazon. Same deal.
Yahoo. It uses almost entirely FreeBSD.
That's just the tip of the iceberg. After September 11th they "suggested" to the channels to basically not play any song that mentioned an airplane or had "questionable" lyrics. It wasn't an outright ban but I'm going to guess that songs on that list got a lot less playtime and considering that the list included "all songs" by Rage Against the Machine I'm glad that Clear Channel no longer has the power to heavyhand itself.

Don't you know? The Royal Family are WEREWOLVES!
Go, Hex, and similar games.
The blogospheric leaders, sure. But the blagospheric leaders are much better.

And if that fails, go to Dakara.

Only in the Senate. In the House there are rules banning filibusters.
"High-end" systems can't be bought all in one package.
Clear Channel is the reason for the commodity nature of music today. They pander to the lowest common denominator, which also pays them.
Slashdot isn't a Media "Behemoth". It's an aggregator. OSTG is a "behemoth", but Slashdot is mostly independently controlled. OSTG just puts up ads.
No, but if it were about RMS I'd be supporting him because he's been consistently right. Case in point: BitKeeper.

This just in: carbon nanotubes found in Amiga computers! Also, carbon nanotubes made of vibrating strings!
Future Grammar Nazi's what?
Name me one major business not named Microsoft that uses Windows in any "mission-critical" status.
His wife is also responsible for Microsoft Bob.
I thought Shadowbane died because it was buggy. At least that's what every other post mentioning Shadowbane said.
