And probably infinitely more profitable and space-sex hotels. Imagine selling Jerry Falwell's followers the ride of a lifetime, to touch the face of God!
From my time in a machine shop, to my roommate who currently runs one, it's easy to see that for every extra decimal point of accuracy in your measurement tolerances, you're paying 2-5 times more in costs (simply in better materials, machines, tooling). If there are specific environmental tolerances (heat, pressure, vibration, radiation) costs also go up.
Granted, nothing specific is being addressed here, and you'd have to hope that this guy couldn't be putting a valve rated for plumbing wasn't put into place in a life support system subject to high launch vibrations, and extensive on orbit radiation blindly.
Then again, it *IS* just a prototype, so who knows.
What exactly would you have the United States of America do to Israel (short of stop selling them Arms)? American non-support of Israel is the surest way for the 3rd nuclear weapon to be used in anger being detonated. And if we're lucky, Sharon would drive it into Riyadh, and not Washington D.C.
The nuclear element changes all things, my friends. Which is why North Korea and Iran want one so bad. You never have to use them. You just have to make their use credible.
Roaming profiles don't work if the desktop I sit down doesn't have the applications I normally use to do work. For some applications, running them off a network share is more of a hassle than it's worth (if not impossible).
Lucky bastard. My first ECS K7S5Apro caught FIRE the first time I powered it up. Yup, a pair of doohickies (resistors) between the dimm sockets just burst into flames...
Lucky bastard. 2 drop shipments later (the second one arrived DOA, and the 3rd from a different reseller), and I said Fuck-All and bought an ASuS A7V600-x instead. Much happier.
1000+ machine builds to my name, and never once had one caught fire on me...
It about money. Plain and simple. Money. These people are too short-sighted and arrogant to be power hungry. They want their fancy cars, and jets, houses and surgically altered wives. And they want protection. As long as it's taxpayer funded.
Money, pal.:-) There's a reason why "follow the money" is the #1 crime-solving method...
I bought a cheap power supply from CompUSA. Burned a motherboard, not functional, had to return it outside the 14 day return period.
Rep: You must return this to the manufacturer. Me: *looks at compusa emblazoned all over the box* I am. Rep: No. Me: Retrieves product insert that states "return to store where purchased for warranty service".
Yea, the endless parroting of shitty corporate policies makes you helpful and excessively nice. No. Being helpful would be testing the product, seeing that is indeed broken, and replacing it without question.
Because I don't know ANYONE who'd deliberately destroy something simply to get warranty service.
What do you do when ALL your choices are like that? Stop buying, I guess.
Spend the extra 10% and buy from a local small-fry instead. Since you are LITERALLY paying for their food, they are more likely to be interested in your happiness.
Benchmark information is not the same as functional descriptions. There are LOTS of 3rd party Oracle books available at bookstores.
The benchmark restriction is because benchmarks are relative, and not necessarily indicative of performance. "SELECT * FROM table" is not relative. It does what it says.
Yea... I find it ironic that it took us less money and time to drop 2 men and a golf cart on the moon that it will to finish the ISS (not including the STS downtime because of Columbia).
SymLinks exist, but you can't create them to network shares. Hard Links, I know they can be created under POSIX, and I have heard they can be created in Win32, but I'm not exactly sure how..
IISreset may indeed reset IIS, but I can attest to you that it is not the same as "net stop iisadmin/y & net start w3svc". It's not a true reset.
As a fellow litestep user, I'm plagued by three faults, as I see them.
1) It's relative immaturity. 2) It's not open source (AFAIK) 3) Too much !include depth in the default theme, making it fairly hard to learn.
But on the flipside, I really wouldn't mind being able to run my corporate helpdesk app in a desktop window at boot time, and building a litestep extension would let me do just that. Windows Explorer never would unless I could do it as a web page, and even then it wasn't very robust, and wouldn't stay contained in the Active Desktop window.
But oh, do I love it. The rightclick popup menu is so wonderful.

Want to give us a transcript of that speech? :-D
Tools -> Downloads (CTRL+Y) brings up download manager in Firefox .9.
How is that any worse than 3 - 5 download windows cluttering your screen?
Plus it's OSS, so *WE* the community can fix problems faster than MS. Still doesn't get around the patching problem, though.

I have. They don't call it the sweet smell of death for nothing...
I'd like to see them make brakes that last two years, nevermind 10. :(
Seems I'm replacing my front disks on my Sable every 18 months, and I'm NOT a brake rider...
It's not about power...

While rolling around on the floor having food fights or nose-grape rolling contests in the "back room, away from all other customers".
Yeah, first and I think only time we paid a 50% tip. They had to call out the national guard for that place...
Ummm, how can taxes, which are a ratio of income, result in an equation where (income - taxes) < 0?
Just curious.
So sayeth Save Rite, Service Merchanidise and Caldors.
Swearing is assault. Touching is battery.

Something to be said for slide-rules.
Having run OS/2 on a 486/33 with 4 MB of ram, I don't believe you. OS/2 was barely runnable, nevermind trying to play Descent as well... :-P
