You have to remember that the M16 was a weapon made by a private concern looking to sell it to the military. It was a weapon looking for a problem. Vietnam provided that problem. Then the M16 provided a whole boatload of problems all by it's own, when the Army made it out to be less maintenance than a rock. A lot of early M16 adopters are dead because the damn thing wouldn't serve it's primary purpose, discharge bullets at the enemy.
The M16 was not a government project. Political concerns delayed getting the weapon fielded for at least 5 years, IIRC. Which I think was your point.
Java support, I have 3 different computers, none of which work with ANY javas applets using Firefox 0.8, and fix Firefox to be able to use MSDN online.
My biggest problem with Firefox/Mozilla is that I cannot use MSDN with it. I really want a total solution where I can develop and build software on my Linux host (I am assembling a SuSE based distribution on DVD to deploy to laptops), and test my Windows software compiled on Linux on my VMWare hosts.
I cannot do that if I cannot use my browser to access MSDN, and I really don't want to boot Windows just to use IE to use MSDN.
Sometimes, there is a time to admit you were wrong, and add in IE incompatibility.
Some of the environments the Rovers experience resemble conditions experienced in the Alaskan winters, or Antarctic nighttime lows. It makes sense to ask the experts, who may know a resource or two more than your NASA engineer.
I think you mean just-barely-critical. Without a critical mass of radioactive material, said radiactive decay is not going to propagate fast enough for energy production. It's why it's called "going critical". A supercritical mass is what explodes and turns LA into a sea of molten glass.
Nevermind the fact that RTG's provide HEAT which can be used all winter to keep the rover from freezing. Solar panels are great in low latitudes, but in the Northern US, their usefulness in Winter (when they're needed most as a heating/cost cutting mechanism) is when they are most useless.
I'm not sure I agree with the environmentally safer, you need to stripmine and process a *LOT* of Uranium for a little bit of Plutonium, but the end waste product is definitely more managable.
Oh god, don't remind me. I had to code an installation compliance routine in a big ass piece of software once upon a time for a big megacorp doing CAD software based in Massachusetts. It worked fine until Customer Support ended up getting a boatload of calls from Windows users who'd named their entire environment NTMACHINE_1, NTMACHINE_2, etc.
It's a little late to do that. They can make any FUTURE implementation of.Net not royalty free, but it's in the wild now. They can't change the rules of the game at this point.
Why don't we just drop the ".", that way, it's still pronounced "zorg", but is spelt xorg, so that we can at least have a grasping chance at a google-match.
This rule applied mostly because service packs in the Pre Win2K days added more functionality than bug fixes. So half the time, you were running across newly introduced bugs cause by added functionality (new directX, etc.).
Due to a policy shift, and people generally bitching about Microsoft's use of new API's in service packs to leverage their Backoffice products ahead of the competition, this has generally stopped; the rule no longer seems to apply. I had no troubles with any 2K service pack.
Dude, I hate to tell you, but 100% of the population is in possession of at least one, and probably 2!! nipples. Except those who've lost there's to disease, those poor unfortunately souls.
Not me. 30 gallons of Jello sprayed around the house by crazy, half-nekkid women wrestling in it for hours on end has left me very frightened of cherry jello.
I fail to see how A) you can assume I don't know what I'm doing B) I accept things as they stand.
If you'd read it, you'd notice I don't accept things as they are, and have solved my problem by using software that doesn't exhibit the issue, Notepad, Ultraedit or OpenOffice.
I can type 80 words a minute in either of the above three, but try it in Word, and I have to correct at least 10 of those words.
OfficeXP sucks. It is nowhere near the caliber of Office2000, which was a phenomenal package.

Or not install it at all in the first place. I don't have an issue with konqueror (I use firefox), because it never got installed in the first place.
Lynx, wget were all it took to bootstrap me to Firefox.
I concur. On my SuSE 8.2 configuration, the shells were in well placed areas only two menu levels deep.
Menu -> System Tools -> Terminal
How is that ANY different from any other system?

IIRC, the United States has not lost a carrier to action or mishap since World War II.
Submarines, yes. We've lost a few of those.
No, then it's Meesa.
Back that up please. If that were true, /. would have been dead a LONG time ago.
Nevermind not one page ago someone suggesting in a sarcastic manner the hunting of the lawmakers fashioning this treaty.

Politically Incorrect - Ship a damn RTG with the thing.

:(
Needless to say, that code got quickly removed.
And people keep saying the same thing about Samba...

It passed my "Dad" test (only because he knows what user accounts are).

In Janet Jackson's case, you can run YOUR tongue all over it... I'll go find someone less repulsive.

Compilation times wouldn't be so bad if
#include <Windows.h>
Didn't include 100+ files
Unless of course you
#defined WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN
in which case it's only 40+.
<slight exaggeration>

Damn straight. If I could patch a few memory leaks I've been running into, I would, because it directly benefits me, even if I have to pay for it.
Didn't Hilary teach you anything? It's a LEFT-WING Conspiracy when you're talking about Republicans... sheesh. ;-)
