The first attemp was made with Venera 3 (contact lost after entry of the Venus athmosphere).
Venera 4 was working for about 94 minutes in the atmosphere,
Venera 5 and 6 as well for shorter periods of time.
Venera 7 landed and keept sending datas for 23 minutes, Venera 8 for 50 minutes.
Probably the most famous were Venera 9 and 10, since they were able to sent a few pictures back to earth. (black and white)
Venera 11 and 12 failed (no data after landing).
Venera 13 and 14 were successesfull, first color pictures. (Venera 13 survived over 2 hours! Venera 14 did not so well and some experiments failed).
The last landing attemp was made with Vega 2 wich failed (experiments were accidently activated 20km above surface. I guess the lander went out of power before it reached the surface.)
6. The first craft to flyby Venus.
7. The first craft to flyby Mars.
Maybe, the fate of Venera 1 or Mars 1 is unknown (contact lost en route to Venus/Mars). Anyway, the first Mars flyby with a *working* craft was Mariner 4 (US), 14th July 1965. The second Zond 2, 6th August 1965 (SU). The first successful Venus flyby was Mariner 2 (22th August 1962, US). (I was too lazy to check the other facts...)
It would be nice to know how many failures the Russian rockets have had, compared to the western (USA and Europe) rockets.
Check out Mark Wades's great Encyclopedia Astronautica. It lists success/failure for nearly every launch system.
E.g. the Proton 8K82K wich is used here (I guess, since the 8K82K has been used vor the Zarya as well) has had three failures and 26 successfull launches (the statistics were up the year 1989).

Devide the number of IPv6 adresses by the surface of the earth in cm and you will see that the adress space is big enough until we learn how to manage FTL interstellar travel and communications. (and probably even then until we learn how to travel between galaxies...).
FWIW: If all IPv6# are distributed equally over the earth an area of the size of a stamp (roughly 1cm) gets nearly 6.7*10^19 numbers.
Even if only 1/million-th of the adress space can really be used because of organization etc. that are still ~67 trillions. Heck, every gramm of earth could still get 57000 adresses....
I have bought two used Macs from ebay (a 680x0 and a PowerMac - just for fun to extend the range of architectures in my private cluster). Before I got them I thought that WinDOS was a horrible OS - but MacOS is even worse!

Because the StrongARM was developed/made by DEC. DEC is gone and the StrongARM devision (patents, developers etc. but not the trademark, hehehe (wich is owned by ARM Ltd.)) was bought by Intel.
Though Intel has it all far longer than DEC now, they didn't manage to produce something faster than DEC's original 200/later 233MHz SA110 from 1996.

Yes, some people *really* have to learn something about "open source". And I don't think aobut those @zdnet now...
BTW: I wonder what "the [open source] kernel" is, hemos is talking about.
Mach? The 44Lite- [Free|Net|Open]bsd-kernel? RTX? Kosh? (Do they have something like a kernel yet?) AIOS? Hurd? Darwin? One of the n other OS projects I have forgotten?
Strange that the lacking or buggy Java or JavaShit support in *ALL* browsers haven't stopped a single site from using it.
AFAIK more browsers these days support PNG in a useable way than JavaShit but I see a lot of "JavaShit-only" sites wich don't work without it and only very, very few without GIF images.
Too bad that you are already using BSD without knowing it:
1. Parts of BSD are built into nearly every other OS witch supports the internet protocols: Windows, Linux, Solaris, BeOS... The "Sockets" interface to network protocols that all those OSes offer is a BSD-developement
2. Many, many Routers run on BSD derived systems
3. Many Nameservers run on BSD systems, the Berkeley Internet Name Daemon aka BIND has spun of BSD.
4. Some of the pr0n-server you've visited yesterday run on BSD
5....
It's absolutely impossible to use the internet without using BSD.
It's absolutely no problem to use the internet without touching Microsoft or Linux.
I wonder if NetBSD with its LFS instead of FFS for cache directories can boost up the results (LFS does faster writes).
I always wanted to give LFS a try on our production webcache (squid as well) since I've read some documents about it---too bad that LFS isn't matured enough yet in -current and hence probably won't be in 1.5 either:-(

Because Usenet is dead. It's only used by spammers and perverts these days.
Everybody uses mailinglists now. Check out the mailinglist archives of OpenBSD and NetBSD. The ratio is more like 1:7.
Still no answer to
"Please show me a Linux distribution (yes distribution, no gross kernel hacks) with a unified, clean source tree complete with all the platforms in the tree."

Even if he did say that - it's totally offtopic.
I wonder how much spam qwerty.com gets... :-)
Yeah, give my VT1300 (~Vaxstation/m38 without disk controller) with 8MB RAM, 90ns CVAX something to do!
It's a shame to waste ~4330 Dhrystones per seconds and roughly 1 Whetstone MIPS in the idle loop...

If someone wonders why ISA or why only 66MHz and no 100 or 133MHz SDRAMs: This board has been released 2 years ago!
(NetBSD has support for the CATS since Oct. 17th 1998 in the tree, so it's probably a few months older.)

I've downloaded the page (www.freebsd.org) wich google gave me as 4th and:
:-)
% grep -i "who\|rules\|world" index.html|wc -l
0
Then I've downloaded the cached page from google as well:
% grep -i "who\|rules\|world" cache.html |wc
0
OK, "who" is ignored, says google. But that page doesn't contain *any* of the search keys except "the".
I don't understand it, why does google give such bogus results?
(AFAIK Google is linux powerd so this can't be a FreeBSD conspiracy

It still doesn't make reverse cache obsolete since a reverse cache can accelerate a website by cacheing some stuff wich is generated dynamically.
I wonder if NetBSD with its LFS instead of FFS for cache directories can boost up the results (LFS does faster writes).
I always wanted to give LFS a try on our production webcache (squid as well) since I've read some documents about it---too bad that LFS isn't matured enough yet in -current and hence probably won't be in 1.5 either:-(
