  1. Re:Reading up on Progeny. on New Debian-based Enterprise Linux? · · Score: 1

    Well, if the summary gave the impression, that the package management were the core of this, I'm deeply sorry. The intention was merely to point out that some efforts were taken to integrate some differences in Linux dists (e.g. tha pakage management systems, which _can_ cause grief to some, as they _may_ have to make binaries for several different Package Management Systems

    Then the comet won't influence on anything else, therefore, not making any other objects go bananas... besides, they're not destroying the comet (doing so would require a little more than a small copper projectile), they're just smashing a part of the surface of it, to see what it consists of.

    Good navy historically, though. But they even lost to Sweden (some of all the times). :-)

    Yeah, but it were beaten and stolen by the British in 1807

    Pray tell me, how many hundreds of percent has the ISS gone beyond the projected costs? 5? 10? Well, the shuttle still makes it look cheap to build and run, so let us put that at NASA and not Denmark. :-)

    I didn't say Denmark is the main force behind ISS, I said that Denmark has developed equipment which is true. Several Danish companies and universites (Thrane & Thrane, DTU, you name it) has delivered equipment for the station.

    I really don't get your point with the projected costs... yes, it is expensive, far more than were though (partially because of the Columbia accident) but honestly - the second we let money hinder science and development we will stagnate and fall...

    Ahh... I see... because France is a lousy military nation, France is also the wrong country to place a research plant in. That really doesn't make any sense now, does it? Denmark, being a lousy military nation too (heck, we even supported Napoleon!), is the leading nation when it comes to fuel cell and wind power research. Danish technicians develop sophisticate equipment for sattelites, ISS and other research projects. This just prove that you doesn't have to be a military freak nation or having some sort of war-mongering madman as leader to be in the lead of research, science and developement. Look at Switzerland as well, a thousand years without a single war, and where does Europe place CERN (the father of WWW)? ... correct! Switzerland...

    I don't really understand you reasoning here...

    I guess you're missing the point as well Because a technology doesn't prove to yield any suplus for approximately 50 years we shouldn't develope it? Thats about the same thing people said about aircrafts, rockets, computers and so on.

    Progress exists on the cost of the present... however, humanity have outlived 6000 years of progess now... and we're still here

  7. Re:What was interesting on Supreme Court Rules against Grokster · · Score: 1

    No, it's true that the SC didn't make a clear statement... basically because: 1) It isn't possible, because the law doesn't explicitly phobit P2P techs, so they can't just ban them 2) It's not their job to make the laws. Therefore, they will focus on the exact case, they sitting with. IFPI has admitted that P2P-file sharing in it's exssence isn't illegal (in which case, we would have to ban HTTP 1.1, SMTP, CDs, DVDs and so on.) And quite obviously... that wouldn't work So one canøt really blame the court for not saying "P2P is (il)legal!" - simply because it's not their job. It's the politicians' job to make laws for this area.
