I honestly thought that when one said,"Get MythTV." it would be that simple. Why does it surprise me that there is more than one distro, just like the rest of Linux?
New Slogans
Linux, its just too forking much.
Forked.com - It's not Porno!
If you need help, RTFM - Read the Forking Manual, you forking noob.
Linux Geeks, they couldn't get forked if their sisters were giving it away.
Yes, I realize, a distro != fork, but now-a-days with the vast differences, it may almost amount to one.
The only thing that could suck more than this movie is if they take some really classic movie, like maybe "The Day the Earth Stood Still" and remake it with some really shitty schlocky actor, like, oh, say...Keanu Reeves. Now, that would be a suckfest of monumental proportions. Thank God nobody is thinking of doing it.
The new U.S. law will probably make it illegal to download music from and site hosted in a country that is not in alignment with U.S. IP laws.
Note: I am very much in favor of IP. I think it is a goodness. However, I also believe that terrorist tactics used by the RIAA are immoral and artists, while upholding their IP rights, should disown and disavow the RIAA.
Go back to spreading your FUD to the twelve year olds on those other technology websites and leave this one for the grown ups.
Now, that should be modded funny. Bravo, sir. I was about to feel your indignation until you let us in on the joke with refering to/. as a site for grown ups. You should be commended.

Please respond to Linux security issues without misdirecting to MS, or attacking the poster.
But, linux is more secure. These things are protected. No one is writing exploits for linux.
Oh, wait, it isn't, they aren't, and they are.
In fact, with all that open source, isn't it easier to see what is going on so I can write a better exploit? Isn't it easier for me to, say, sneak a corporate or national spy into the development team and compromise the project?
With millions of lines of code, do you think we could keep an Iranian or Chinese spy from getting malicious code into the project?
Hypothetical:
Start a project for a civilian equivelent of a military application
Form a project team
Accept a programmer from a country that has very specific ideology driven agendas against much of the western world
Wonder why the government won't switch to the OS of your desire
But, wait, linux is more secure. These things are protected. Nobody is writing exploits.
You see a common thread in these lawsuits: an individual or group cannot stand criticism of their ideas. Of course, this is nothing new, hence the Inquisition.
So, extending the idea, we should be seeing lawsuits from the following:
RMS, all Holiness to his Name the Prophet of GPL, because people ridicule him as a commie and whack job
A private group would be ill advised to spam Chinese proxies. While China remains an outcast, they are a heavy-weight U.S. trading partner (I'm assuming the same for most EU nations have trading relationships with China as well).
When they weild that much power, China can basically "order" the U.S. to find and prosecute the "spammers". This is basically what happened with the U.S., Russia, and AllofMP3, except it was Russia being told by the U.S. to handle the problem.
Does anyone seriously think the U.S. Government, under these circumstances, would not fold to Chinese pressure?
In the bad old days, there was a key difference between PC-DOS and MS-DOS. PC-DOS was useless for clone machines if the user wanted to program in BASIC. At the time, IBM was putting the BASIC interpreter on chip, there as a basic.com file that would call up the interpreter. MS-DOS was distributed with BASIC and then later GW-BASIC, and finally QBASIC. I think IBM stopped with the BASIC ROMS when the XT came out.
There are several places, but the best source is the current schedule.
Space Flight Now is an excellent resource. You may not know this, but, the 40 year average for Soyuz launches is 5.3 per year, with a much faster pace now.
Launch Dates
Currently ready for flight, waiting for payload or just its time:
Sep 14 - Non-ISS but could always be refitted.
Oct 10 - ISS mission
TBD - Unknown mission (military?) with a launch somewhere between the preceding and following
Dec 23 - Non-ISS, from what I know, but again, could go ISS (also, may not be completely fitted)
Final stages of fitting:
Feb 12 - ISS/Other
With that, I would say that between the Russians being able to mount a quick refit of a flight, or NASA just happening to have an orbitter ready, shuttle crews taking refuge on the ISS will only have to stay around for a month, at most. With 3 or 4 going home sooner on the docked Soyuz.
Fly it home, unfixed is what Houston has ordered. Hopefully the man who made decision has signed his name to it.
Soyuz - There are 2 available, the stationed there is set up for remote all the way. They have the supply craft available, for remote all the way. All the parts are available, the Russians actually have several near completion at all times, they could have a new supply craft ready to go before food and air stores get too critical. Remember, the shuttle has some as well. The Russians have an incredible turn around time, unlike NASA. Pity. Also, we only need to evac enough to slow the depletion of stores. Not the entire shuttle crew and station crew. Send 3 home (4 is tight, but can be done). Yes, that means a few astronauts get a longer stay than planned. And, it does mean that a lifeboat is not immediately available should another emergency crop up.
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).
As a former USAF avionics specialist and later crew chief, one thing was always true:
The decision about air-worthiness, mission-worthiness was the pilot's, the aircraft commander.
It didn't matter if I told him that sure, the plane will fly, if he didn't like it, the plane didn't fly.
So, NASA, provide all the information to the commander, pilot, and crew, and let THEM make the call. If you don't like what they decide, it can be taken up AFTER the mission.
No brouhaha, this is the guy that is covering his agency's shoddy work. Pure and simple. The real clarification would be that of the blogger and the guys who failed to correct the data without blaming news organizations for reporting it.
The problem with the religious fervor that surrounds the Church of Global Warming is that when key data they relied upon is shown to be in error, rather than act like scientists and admit to the error, they back peddle, obfuscate, blame those that caught them, and explain how the wrong results are still correct.
Consider these and find out why the Church is losing ground in the credibility race:
With that in mind, Bryce marvelously began with one of the world's greatest truisms (emphasis added throughout):
"It is the nature of civilization to use energy and it's the nature of liberalism to feel bad about it. "
And, one of the single most stupid lines uttered in a documentary...
"In fact, you can even reduce your carbon emissions to zero."
"The biggest emissions-cutting projects under the Kyoto Protocol on global warming have directly contributed to an increase in the production of gases that destroy the ozone layer, a senior U.N. official says."
The article, entitled, "Whose Carbon Footprint is the Smallest," found that globe-trotter "Josie," who "considers herself more eco-conscious than most people," had the largest carbon footprint. Josie "recently earned a certificate in conservation biology from Columbia University" but "caught travel fever" last year and went to "China, Hong Kong, Germany Washington, Utah, Brazil, Ecuador and Costa Rica." According to the judge of the competition, author of "The Rough Guide to Climate Change" Robert Henson, "Josie's wanderlust caused her footprint to balloon well above average."
The problem is, the movement has no substance, they have allowed the shrill and ideologues to take over.
And, you are representitive of what percentage of the computer using population? Small. Very small. If you don't thinks, you are seriously deluded. Much like those in the Green Party that believe they have a serious shot at grabbing the White House (there's a higher chance of Jenna Bush getting the presidency and she's not eligible and she is not even running.)
Even MS Word had to overcome Word Perfect's market penetration, and WP was pretty damned powerful for what it did back in the day.
Microsoft isn't about to make the same mistake WP/Novell/Corel made. I was a WP user. But, the boys in Orem let the product lanquish and the Corel ignored it for too many years. They stayed in the pit stop while MS lapped them 50 times over.
Now, if MS seriously falls down and ignores thier product, yes, a competitor will take over.

Does anyone see a need for a better lifeboat than Soyuz?
Wow, I ended up cross training several times.
Started out as a cop at RAF Upper Heyford, went back to Lackland as an MTI, then A-10 gun, then Avionics and finally chief on the C-5's out at Travis.
There were bonuses or really good training locations each time I did that. If you count Biloxi as a really good training location.
