Ben Bova's series "Grand tour". If you haven't read it, it's a great very real story about our solar system colonization, starting with Moon base, ten first manned mission to Mars, etc.
No forcefields, subspace, magic buttons resolving everything. Just something that may actually happen in 30-50 years. (in 20, if you believe NASA talk).
Wrong! Let's assume that aliens land tomorrow on Earth. They may not be able to respond to most of your questions, yet they will be fully inteligent. You have mistaken intelligence with humanity.
In other news, hell has reported significant progress with global warming issue. All-time record low temperatures seem to keep up. Retiried archenemy and currently hell spokesman, mr Baal dismissed planned ski resorts in hell as mere speculation.
In early 2005, soon after winning X-prize, Burt Rutan announced that SS2 will be operational in 2007. Last year Virgin Galactic promised to start regular flights in 2009. Now we are reading about 2010. Funny pattern emerges:
Date of service start = current year + 2
He may have done this by mistake. What if he was in the development phase and his remote wasn't 100% reliable? Also it may be possible that he didn't know which section of tracks was the proper one.
You guys wrote lots of software and implemented lots of systems. It worked perfectly the first and every time, right? No? Oh...
Let's hope that OO and KDE releases will never overlap.
Personal entry: KDE compilation, day 3. Need to waste another day on something. Slashdot? Again? Ahhh, what the hell...
I've started my open DHCPv6 implementation over 4 years ago. Once in a while, someone reports a bug or says that it works fine, so people are using it. The rate of adoption is not that great, but I've got feedback from 28 countries.
Anyway, that's hardy a news. Basic DHCPv6 spec has been published in 2003.
By the way: there's a small misunderstanding. Formally, the whole autoconf process in IPv6 is split into stateless and stateful (DHCPv6) parts.
The real fundamental question is not about beginning of the universe, but something much much more important:
Are they going to backup the data?
On the other hand, I'm sure it will be available on some torrent soon.
They should run a Perl version with prizes for actually clear code.
But I suppose it would be too difficult. Or maybe it would end up as a Loebner contest-style contest: lots of entries, no winners. Oh well.
This rocket (the whole family) was named Falcon after Millenium Falcon. See http://www.spacex.com/media21.php That's what happens when geeks go into space business. Go, Falcon, go!
Hej, let's publish this icon under, you know, that viral, cancer-like, mind-destroying GPL license. Before they know, they'll have to open up IE. But wait, isn't it bundled into something? Oops, do I see GNU IE running on GNU Windows?
Slashdot Mirror
Finally, I can remove all those "Don't stare into the laser with your remaining eye" stickers. Yay!
Comcast, is that you again?
Does it support uninstall feature? Aaaah, I knew it. They still have some catching up to do.
But it like it that way.
Ahoy! I miss the days of Guybrush Threepwood, that scurvy scum calling himself the mighty pirate? Arrrrr!

I definitely recommend http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainfuck. Ever wondered how CPU feels when you remove its cooling fan? Here's your chance. Also letters, brackets and numbers are for wimps.

With so many folks declaring switch, I just hope other vendors (read: NVidia) are reading this and scratching their heads right now.
I've one partially silicone-based lifeform on a beach. Oh boy, she was hot.

Quantum entanglement for long-distance? Didn't you heard about subspace communication? No wonder that you've dropped off from starfleet academy.

What's expected accuracy? What is the possibility to miss expected landing site and hit some populated area?
