it's called "the French problem"....they smoke, they eat rich fat foods including cheese, they drink wine, but have longer life expectancy and fewer heart problems than Americans who "live and eat healthy"
I would be very surprised if ALL the astronauts didn't pocket away a little piece of the moon, and some now belong to the kids or spouses of the dead ones.
so instead of exploring space for scientific reasons we should do it for thrills and chills? waste of money and illogical.
we are doing the right thing, exploring space with probes for now. when we have fusion power (perhaps from robotic mining of asteroids or moon) we then will have sufficient energy for massive payloads, and be able to colonize the solar system and the near stars.
That would be a niche market, those who would use Linux on PPC but unwilling to pay RedHat subscription, most have pockets plenty deep. Maybe less than one for every thousand centos clients there are now would be customer. Not worth the resources Centos or Scientific Linux would have to throw at it.
I wouldn't rule out Gentoo, it has binary builds, and also a system for rolling out builds and updates to a group of machines. Not my first pick, but not impossible.
RedHat and paying was put first as the least attractive option to contrast with the rest. Redhat did drop Itanium, but still have PPC for IBM servers (no client version, either). For server Debian or Gentoo would be the good GNU/Linux choices, as are the BSD depending on particular need
I would argue against a couple of your points if that russian-roulette death contraption acts up again. If it burns up, no last re-entry, and it'll be "crew doesn't get to use toilet for last time as they foul their britches upon breakup". But you'd get a new list of "last killed by shuttle".
You must mean after the January updates, when Redhat was only putting out 5.6 updates..Centos didn't put out 5.6 until April 8, and there was a buttload of updates starting April 14th. So yeah, no 5.6 updates while they were trying to get 5.6 out.
that would be great to have the dollar collapse on the international scene, so we'd have to be self-sufficient for awhile. The globalists that are draining our wealth depend on the current system, let's burn it down.
it would mean a banking cartel collapse, while nations would have to be self-sufficient for awhile. I'm not seeing the downside, a little sacrifice is worth it to hear the sodden thop of bankers and wall street tycoon's bodies hitting the pavement in suicide dives as their interests tank. Those are the SOBs with our lawmakers in their pockets, financing both sides of wars to live on human misery, to hell with them and their system.
You may find your Fermilab d00ds disappearing as the Tevatron is shut down, the lab will be in skeleton crew mode soon with only some small peripheral projects ongoing. Historically it was mostly Fermilab that carried the weight of Scientific Linux, wonder if CERN is up to carrying the load?
trying to create your own reality there? I work with dozens of clients running Centos as their main OS, not a one has changed.
You are very irresponsible as a sys admin for mission critical applications if you immediately change releases when RedHat does, without testing for months.
Meanwhile Scientific Linux waited until June 21 to put out 5.6, because they put that on the back burner in their rush to heave 6 out the door, and do they maintain past versions? no!
1. oil companies make record profits when price goes up, and Gadaffi was impeding certain oil contracts
2. billions of dollars in Libyan assets seized
3. global defense industry sales and stocks go up
the amount of troops is a token, means nothing, just un-surging the surge while the war merrily tools on. In short, more hot air from the flatulent barack.
I'm all for that kind of devastation, the federal government is a monster that needs to be slashed to a third its present size or less. Bring down the parasites of the global banking cartel that took 70% of the bailouts. You are scared of such "fire"? you are a coward who chooses slavery over freedom. I say burn, baby burn.
no, the private banking system known as the "federal reserve system" would have problems with the values of its securities. The pyramid scam known as the stck market, which trades overvalued paper, would have problems. We'd be forced to manufacture more at home as our money wouldn't be taken abroad. this would not be a bad thing. Bring it on, more evil systems would collapse than good, and those who know how to create real wealth can get the parasites off its back.
you don't care that our government is already committing far bigger abuses than George III and the British in the 1700s. You don't care that our lawmakers are in the pockets of huge corporations. You don't care that our money is out of control of congress but instead placed in the hands of a private banking cartel that looted us in the name of "bailouts". You don't care that our government is funding cia military operations with narcotics, is on the both sides of the war on drugs. you don't care that we have mass murdered hundreds of thousands instead of fighting any real "war on terror" to line the pockets of big corporations. Instead, you are terrified of little old ladies waving tea bags. No tea party member has gone shooting and killing people at political rally, but left-wing nut job recently has.
that's only if the corporations survive. We need to bring down the megacorporations including the banking cartel. Hard to you to believe, but we can make things, perform services, and grow food without them. This whole thing is about the bankers tightening their grip on the working people.
That new propaganda monkey blathers on about Al Qaeda in Afghanistan, where al-Qaeda ISN'T, but we continue our war on the Afghani people and the New Taliban (the label slapped on any Afghani who acts against foreign invaders, while we slaughter innocent citizens and breed more enemies). We continue to use U.S. troops to guard and move Afghani poppies to fund CIA and other operations, for we fight both sides of the War on Drugs, just as we fund both sides of The War on Terror. We continue to line the pockets of the defense industry and private contractors of mayhem and death. But "victory" in Afghanistan and the defeat of Al Q is just around the corner.
Obama has changed nothing, continuing wars without purpose, started yet another one. He has continued the taking away of american rights started under Bush. He only follows the orders of the mega-corporate elite with all our government in its pockets. He is every bit as evil as Bush/Cheney, and has broken each and every campaign promise. Even his health plan is a sellout, no robust public option but instead continues the big pharmy/big insurance/big healthcare cost spiral. What a piece of dung on two legs, Barack Obama.

Fermented grapes...is there anything they can't do?
RedHat thought so

No sympathy here, that POS is a known killer.
we don't know yet if it will finish this dance, or kill again.
I get the update emails.

You either buy Redhat, or go with Debian, Gentoo, or Ubuntu (which I have on mac ibook https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCDownloads )
Or forget Linux and go with OpenBSD, FreeBSD, or NetBSD

you are talking out of your ass, there has been no interruptions in the security updates for Centos 5.x
