True, but to quote fmobus: speacially if the emergency has something to do with the radio antenna where instructions from ground control were supposed to be recieved...
The first manned space flight had a computer on board to control re-entry, but it was basic in the extreme - and locked so Comrade Gagarin couldn't tamper with it. An envelope with the code to unlock the computer was hidden somewhere in the capsule, and should an emergency arise, ground control would tell him where it was. Nice.
Sounds nasty. I would at LEAST want to have some QUICK way of getting to it.
From what I understand, the advertising campaign Microsoft is launching (it's quite large too) has absolutly nothing to do with Longhorn. They are simply addressing XP.
I'm much like that, except I lie to keep any info on-line about me straight. So, if a bunch of sites hand out my info to people, and someone makes a search engine for it, I will be Male, Female, and ages 1-200:D
The question is not whether they store it or not, as that can be done in many ways. It's HOW. Think about it. If they store it in their Database, then they COULD use it. But, if they use cookies or the like, then they don't have it.
Think about that before getting all freaked out about getting tracked.
Acknowledged, Java has some downfalls (slow, etc) and it is not a native programming language, but overall, Java is a great way to go. Java applications developped for a website is a powerful tool, instead of using php. And Java games are very popular in the cell phone industry right now, not flash. Overall, I think the possibilities that Java offers are enough in itself to warrant making it open-source. But I'm biased... I just started learning it.

And each one only knows part of the total. And no one knows in which order they go :)
Something like "the Canoe" :)

WWWAAAAYYY off. Go read their privacy policy.
Thankfully, I don't have one of those. If I were to ever get something like that, I'd just get myself a nice laptop :)
I must say, I'm very guilty of this.
I only tend to delete spam. It DOES get handy when I need something though.
3 gmail's search.

MMMMMmmmmmm..... Human Popsicles! Just makes you want to get into one of those!

true, but then again, a databse storing something like this would be massive as well.....

Why is it sitll beta then?
mmmmm, meter wide heatsinks :)
It will be interesting to see how much difference there is consumer wise between the AMD and the Intel version, not only in performance, but in sales.
Now where can I get it....
