If you had glowing fungi, then you could use supersensitive solar cells to draw energy from them and store it in batteries, but do fungi even suck up CO2? I think Hyroelectric power and wave energy as well as wind power will provide a good portion of green energy in the future.
The Mandrake Linux 9.0 distribution was the first experience I had with this distribution. Before that I had run Redhat Linux 6.2 and I was amazed with how well it worked. The pack of CDs I got with a Linux magazine had heaps of programs and formatting and partioning was very easy as well. I used it up to the 10 release and then I switched to a 8.5 GiB OpenSuse 9.2 DVD that I had aquired. That was another good distro. RIP KDE 3.4. Why is Ubuntu such a heap of stinking crap compared to the older distributions? No wonder I run Debian Testing now.
This stinks of a coporate cover up. They don't want you to know this but it was actually a Toyota Prius with a hybrid nuclear/tachyon engine that accelerated out of control in the year 2052 due to a software glitch and traveled back in time and...well you can pretty much put the rest together.
Those hooning kids. Racing around the sun in their hot rods and not knowing the dangers of travelling through time! Something must be done.
Yes, and what if you are wanting to login to your computer on the TTY virtual console and you type in your username and password. This system would not work then. If you are worrying about the security of your bank account, you could have a mobile phone setup so that it would text message you a code you would need to enter to perform some actions on your account, that does provide some peace of mind. And Captchas are good at cutting spam on the Internet, but they would be annoying on a Linux/UNIX machine.
Mandrake Linux could save the installation choices in a file that could be used to auto install Mandrake Linux on other computers. This website describes that process for Mandrake. And SUSE Linux could perform the same task.
How high would the overpressure be under the nuclear blast? There would be a lot of pressure pushing on the fridge to blow it that far. And why was it lead lined? What would be the purpose of that in a commercial refrigerator.
There was a person that was infected with Linux Malware through Macromedia Flash. That is why I have disabled that firefox plugin.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94QsgdXnsmU. Another reason why flash sucks. Sure HTML5 is proprietary, but Totem has a Youtube function and Smplayer can play Youtube videos as well apparently.
Or the space battles could just be like ancient battles on the sea with cannons poking out of the side of the ship, or out the front that fire conventional shells. Surely an extremely powerful shell that fired a depleted uranium sabot round would take out a realistic warship. We are not going to have unobtanium armour or force fields in reality. I wonder if we could create Lensmen in real life though with training. We would not have thought shields in reality, so being able to see what the enemy is planning would really help out in a battle. But an electromagnetic railgun would make a mess of a spaceship easily. And with hand to hand fighting in spacesuits a Rapier would be a perfect weapon, rip a spacesuit with a thin sword and the enemy is no more...
The government can just claim that the Ipredator system is being used to access child exploitation material and/or assist in terrorism. The people who watch the television news believe everything they see and if they spin that story they could get this system shut down. I wonder if the TOR bundle will really keep you safe... But Australia is following the lead of America at every turn, and any restriction in free speech on the Internet is only for our own good right?
But a Mars colony would have to work hard to be able to survive at all. Read the Red Mars, Green Mars books and you will gain a greater appreciation for the challenges faced by a Mars colony. I just read Hammer of God last night and that book mentioned that aspect as well. Sadly we will never see a Mars colony like Underhill anytime soon. I would love to be amongst the First Hundred, but that will not happen for a very long time yet. The world would be better off if people gave up the mind numbing television and read books instead.
This is why I uninstalled the Gnome 3 desktop on my Ubuntu 12.04 system and I managed to get the MATE desktop installed instead. I do not want a glorified tablet interface on a desktop machine. Even the Afterstep and Enlightenment E16 interfaces are better than Gnome 3. Afterstep at least is based on a NextStep interface and has some sort of heritage. Gnome 3 is just stupid. Sure I am running a alpha release of Ubuntu, but this is Linux and I expect my software to work and not copy the tablet interface just because it is the trendy thing right now.
The Gnome 1.0 interface http://www.blogger.am/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/gnome-1.gif was a simple interface, the Red Hat desktop kept this style of desktop for a while with the single panel on the bottom of the screen just like Windows `95, then they moved to the two panels, but you could still change it to look like Gnome 1.0. Nowadays the whole interface is crap.
That is true, why do they not package software like xv and xmms like Fedora do? And what happened to the old Electric Eyes image viewer. Try compiling that nowadays.
Accelerating something to near light speed (90%) would require almost infinite energy as the rocks would dramatically increase in mass as they get closer and closer to c.
This was done in 3001, everyone had to wear a cap to monitor brainwaves. And in the BBC series The Tripods. This is not a new idea. Arthur C Clarke was a visionary.
Is IE represented as the most insecure web browser or is this evenly spread over most common web browsers? I would think that the open source browsers would be more secure than a closed source option like Opera or IE, but maybe Firefox has some vulnerabilities as well.
If we wanted to go to another star system far in the future would it be possible to build an electromagnetic ramscoop ship or is that still in the realms of fantasy? Such a ship could get to the centre of the Milky Way galaxy in 25 years ship time, although 50,000 years would have passed by on Earth. The only question is what would the Earth look like politics wise in 100,000 years?
Would they have forgotten about you? What sort of technology do you really need to construct a ship to constantly accelerate at 1g and reach the galactic core safely, not to mention coming back.

Actually yes, I recall that mould gives off gas, that is why it smells.

You could just install VLC. That worked on the Comsumer Preview. And it is a very good open-source program.
I am happy I already have a copy. The Backtrack distribution they included was very nice indeed. Thanks Linux Format.

Inconstant Moon. This was also an Outer Limits episode.

The Death Star is 160KM in diameter, you would need super advanced materials to construct that on Earth. A Super Star destroyer is much more feasible.

A hacker is a person that is modifying something to change it, like hacking on source code to improve it.
A cracker is a person who is trying to break into computer systems.

Surely there is something like this for Ubuntu?

This might work nicely for those with access to a UNIX/Linux machine...

You just press Alt-F2 and type xterm for example and an xterm will open. That is the default behavior.
