I'm not against it, but it seems to be taken on faith that the universe should be simple and elegant.
Please look at this image. This has been possible only because we live in an universe that is apparently regulated by very few and relatively simple laws. And apparently we are able to understand them.
Yes: this is a surprise to many that think about it.
... grativational "signals" making their way through the universe?
Those "signals" are the gravitational waves and the Smart 2 and Lisa (ESA/NASA) missions will search for them and measure their speed, among other things.
Flaw is present in firefox 1.0.6. except the way to
triget it isent a '-' but a string of 0xad see
hex view of www.security-protocols.com/firefox-death.html
I have tried the above page with Fx 1.0.6 under Linux and it doesn't crash at all. Maybe it's windows-only?
Just FYI: the Europeans have already flight-tested a prototype of another winged spacecraft, but this is a launcher: the Hopper.
It will probably succeed the Ariane 5 and launch both manned and unmanned upper stages, so maybe it can also be used to launch the Kliper.
The prototype is called the Phoenix and has completed several unpowered landing tests. Here's a link to a torrent of the spectacular video of the third flight from an onboard camera!
It's still not official until the December 2005 European ministers meeting that will decide about the Kliper project and the Aurora programme for the exploration of the solar system (yes: it's the European equivalent of the "Moon, Mars and beyond").
And yeah: the Kliper is supposed to be even cheaper than the Soyuz, per seat.
A mission scenario for a human mission to Mars from the European Space Agency: includes a detailed analysis of advantages and problems for the three typical trajectory solutions.
Java:
- Is not too verbose (Hello World is not daunting)
May I suggest you to try to write an hello world program in Python, Ruby, Basic and Perl and then compare them with the smallest hello world that you can get in Java?
Languages like C, C++, Java and C# have some uses, but even a simple hello world requires a lot of black magic for a novice.
I think we will have a bit more good programmers if they start to learn programming with Python: concentrate on the algorithms not on irrelevant details.
... put those apps under the BSD license instead. That way folks can use your program without their hands being tied. They can even make a product out of it, make some money, and feed changes/improvements back into the program.
I don't know what you mean with "hands tied", but you can do all the things you list with both the BSD and the GNU GPL license... the only things you can't do with the GPL is use someone's else code in closed source/proprietary apps without authorization from the author(s).
But you can "make some money" by selling GPLed commercial software, if someone want to buy it. (Don't confuse proprietary with commercial software!)
FYI: ESA (the European Space Agency) is planning to use a hybrid approach in its next-generation launcher, the Hopper with a 4 km magnetic track (a prototype, the Phoenix, has already flown).
Anybody who uses a car cannot whine about environmental impact of the space shuttle: there are at least hundreds of millions of cars used every day in the world and only three space shuttles that fly a few times a year!
Even after you've installed an extension, you shouldn't be forced (by Firefox) to accept any and all behaviour it tries to produce. I should be able to install a toolbar and prevent it from calling home, for example.
Those things already exist: they are called web pages and can do anything that is not dangerous. The extensions are used if you need more and you trust the code that does it.
It's very interesting because it shows that the MEPs really know what this is all about and most of them have a position surprisingly similar to the FFII!
Josep Borrell (EP President) and Michel Rocard (MEP) speak very clearly about what's wrong with software patents, the Council of the European Union, the European Commission, Microsoft, etc.
Unfortunately the first 4 minutes are only translated in Italian, but all the important things are in English.
Please after completing the download continue to seed as long as possible.
And this is a very good thing, because all the non-IE browsers will hopefully have a compatible implementation (today every browser is slightly different for anything that is not used by gmail:-().

Oops! You were not supposed to see this... ok, I admit that we in Italy are producing a lot of WMDs against the evil Free America.
But, please, don't tell it to your president! :-)
Yeah, right. FYI this is the link to the exact location.
I know what they have written, but I (and other /. readers) was unable to actually reproduce the crash, at least with Firefox 1.0.6 under GNU/Linux.
Maybe it's a Windows-only problem? Or this affects really only Fx 1.5beta1?

This flaw is only present in Firefox 1.5beta1, 1.0.6 is not affected.
So if you are worried just keep using the stable version until at least the next beta release and be happy.
This seems a pretty strange list to me: someone knows why they have chosen those 14 patents? They have a specific application/library in mind?
If you watch this with mplayer (at least version 1.0pre7), it will wrongly assume that the aspect ratio is 4:3. Just use the -noaspect option.
I don't know whose fault this is, but I suspect that the movie is badly encoded.
Yeah: it still works, you just need to send at least the start of a valid Jabber stream. Instead of "?" try sending:
Try something like this (works under GNU/Linux, I think it should work under Windows too):
If all else fails, you can type (or paste) the line yourself to netcat or telnet.
Hope this helps.
This time is not a rumor!
Try it for yourself. Send a string like:
to talk.google.com, port 5222. It will respond with a valid RFC 3920 (Jabber) stream!

Sorry, I forgot to include a link for the solar system exploration programme, Aurora.

There is a lot of confusion around there about what exactly is open source, free, copyrighted and/or proprietary software.
I suggest to everyone to read the Free Software Definition and the FAQs about the GNU GPL.
Yeah, even if you don't like RMS read them: they are very informative!

Yeah, but it will become a standard soon: it's in the Web Applications 1.0 working draft from the Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group.
