exploits online UNTIL official fix is released.
In my opinion, it is a flawed tactic. Having usable exploit around motivates vendor to actually DO fixes. I greatly doubt MS will patch its bugs faster if exploits are unavailable to public.
Chemical propulsion engines are not efficient enough for solar system exploration. They may be good for puting sattelites on the orbit, but certanly not usable for manned exploration of the solar system.
Flying nuclear reactor with hydrogen used as reactive body is dangerous. But still it is possible to assemble it on orbit and start it from there (or from moon).
In my opinion a greater obstacle, besides engineering efforts, is the radiation emitted by Sun. It will probably make it very hard to maintain chain reaction bellow critical point. Shielding with lead probably will solve that, though.
In my opinion, GUI is not all that important part in the software. Yet, nowdays its really impossible to make portable (unless you use java for gui, which hardy a good choice). So why not logically separate GUI from app core?
Good example of that is mldonkey. Their server-client does not come with any gui by default, but it just provides an network interface (tcp) for it. So there are thosounds of GUIs now for all the platforms, and they work great.
.. describing huge spaceships navigated by super-computers with magnetic tapes and stuff, which were so fast they could calculate data dozens times faster than any human:)
Wow:)
It is well known and widely-accepted that you can write bad code with good language. AND you can write good code with bad language.
And, of course, a nice virtual machine or bytecode interpreter/runtime compiler can make zillions of check of your code to deal with your lazyness. But hey, who said the VM itself is secure? Alot of VMs I know of are written in guess what? C/C++:-)
What I am afraid of, however, is M$ is implying that C/C++ is so flawless and that is really has to be replaced with C#.. just a short step and bright future awaits us. And people take all that as Gospel

What happens if I buy PPG X, and you buy PPG Y, and we engage in, say, quake 4? Shall we compare length.. err.. speed of our PPGs first?
physical characteristic in that PPG, or it supposed to be provided by the OS (Windows in particular) ?

in the registry of my legit native windows system? Gonna do that, try winupupdate and phone Bill asking what the heck is wrong.

Not to mention technologies like j2ee

.. and erase the film memories from the brains of the cinema visitors when such a tech is discovered?
;)
I think its my god-given right to 'remember' what I see, even if I use some litle gadget to 'help' myself
