Um, according to this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Voyager_Program_-_spacecraft_diagram.png, Voyager doesn't have any solar panels. nor did Galileo, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Galileo_Diagram.jpg > Somehow I don't think a moon base would last long on 1 watt of power. RTGs don't provide a lot of power (yay for thermopiles) -- and I never said anything about moon bases.

Oops, I screwed up the formatting a bit. Sorry.

Last time I looked, copyright had expired on that particular piece of music several hundred years ago. Sigh.

On that particular piece of music sure, but was the rendition of that piece several hundred years old? No? I didn't think so....

Submission + - Linux Developer Working on Windows 8 Secure Boot Bypass (paritynews.com)

Submitted by hypnosec
hypnosec writes: Windows 8 is going to be equipped with a secure boot technology from Microsoft dubbed Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) that will effectively lockup the operating system tightly and will prevent users from installing other operating system – be it Linux or Windows XP, Windows 7 and as a matter of fact another instance of Windows 8. This is definitely not good news and there has been already a lot of talk going on about the secure boot option of Windows 8. To bypass this, James Bottomley, chair at Linux Foundation's Technical Advisory Board has made public Intel Tianocore UEFI boot image along with some code. Developers can use this to get around the secure boot option of Windows 8.
