The answer is no. The
Regulations prohibit persons subject to the jurisdiction of
the United States from purchasing, transporting, importing,
or otherwise dealing in or engaging in any transactions
with respect to any merchandise outside the United States
if such merchandise (1) is of Cuban origin; or (2) is or
has been located in or transported from or through Cuba; or
(3) is made or derived in whole or in part of any article
which is the growth, produce or manufacture of Cuba.
Dude. You are flamebaiting, because microsoft distributes it as source under a permissive license. With tests. Anyone can port it, if it doesn't run already under Linux (and people are running it... )
I'd caveat Linus' statement with "but treat yourself to a NVIDIA video card". I've had 4 over the years, all worked flawlessly and easily with Linux. And beat the shit out of any of Intel's graphics offerings.
of course search came first when they were a research project but the second they came out of college it was all about the benjamins. Their search isn't that great anymore, gaming the system is easy... its quite sad how downhill it has gone.
I know the schedule, I know SFN and other sources, but that doesn't tell me the number of soyuz on hand. I did some reading about the assembly line efficiency of the Soyuz a few years back and it lead me to believe that they made 'em and lauched 'em, IE, there isn't a stockpile laying around.
And remember, looking at Soyuz entries on SFN, Soyuz is a vehicle, not a capsule. For example, the September 14 mission will NOT have a man-rated capsule aboard. It will have the Foton M3 microgravity research capsule and the YES2 tether demonstration spacecraft. Likewise, the Progress resupply mission vehicles are NOT mannable.
Which gets back to my point. I have no idea how many capsules they have sitting around, or rate of production... from what I heard there will be 4 manned Soyuz flights and 6 Progress flights starting in 2009, which they are ramping up to (they are breaking ground for another manufacturing facility) so they are doing more then than now. So that tells me the rate of production of manned capsules is at or less than 4 a year now, as they fly less than that.
There is a stark difference. There is a great capacity increase between Blue-Ray, HDDVD and DVD. What is the driving force behing yet another office format? The existing one works just fine. Upgrading media is a no brainer because we have hit the limits. We haven't hit the limits of an office format, yet.
Fly it home, unfixed is what Houston has ordered. Hopefully the man who made decision has signed his name to it.
The decision is by committee. The consensus to fly home was made last night and was unanimous among the committee. They did extensive analysis both with CFD, analytical models and arc jet testing.
They do have procedures, and materials. Since the last disaster, they have sent up patch kits. If its not adequate, they can send up one that is on the next go round. They chose not to patch because they don't like the risks involved with an EVA (to both man and machine).
Precisely. If they banged up a few tiles doing the repairs and wound up stranded in space, dying, that would be a true tragedy when in reality no repair was needed. The tiles are located on the aft midsection of the belly of the orbiter which does not receive extreme reentry heating. In fact they don't get over 400 degrees and the aluminum underneath stays 50 degrees under design temperature, and is still covered by Nomex (a flame retardant, among other things used by fire fighters) (still in place, as best we can tell). (I am an aerothermodynamist, not working shuttle but working closely with shuttle people)
Do you have a source on your Soyuz data? I'd be interested in seeing it. What I've heard and seen is that production as of late has slowed down to the rate of demand, IE, there isn't more than one on hand. But I could be wrong and I'd be interested in seeing a source that says so.

Maybe the non-american should read a dictionary.
beyond the boundaries of one's country. No implication of overseas.
Of course, you might not be an American, and it is rather public knowledge that you will skew information to try and bring us down to your level.

Some games work. Most require tweaking. Quite a few do not work at all.
And good luck getting official support if you need it.

Seeing as the speed of sound is proportional to the square root of temperature, and the group is coldplay, it might not be very fast at all :)

No, spammers think you want what they are selling, what makes you think the Chinese want what you are peddling?
they fooled you, then :)

Google was never a search engine company, Google is an advertising company that uses search/email/online office as a tool.

A good product deserves to dominate.
Or a hundred beta products, apparently.
And if you haven't noticed, recently, Google has pretty much stopped innovating and rather started purchasing innovative companies. One step closer...
