Thank you. The bit about the Greenwich observatory is interesting, I'm off to wikipedia!

I see, thanks!

Thank you.

Thank you, I did not know that one could create a config file for redshift. I've been starting with a shell script for my day/night parameters. Tell me, is a positive longitude east or west? I assume that positive latitude is north.

FTFY. Double quotes inside a double-quoted string must be escaped.

Not quite. Current launch technology (read: rockets) are powered through much of the atmospheric flight. MECO occurs outside the atmosphere, and the craft's flight path takes it over uninhabited areas for the thousand KM until it is outside the atmosphere. Therefore, at no point is the vehicle on a trajectory such that if it looses power, it will intersect the Earth in an inhabited area. The balistic tragectory of the 'Slingatron', however, does bisect the Earth at roughly (due to atmospheric drag) the same place where it was launched from. Also, one needs to take into account the possibility that the payload will leave the muzzle at lower than expected velocity. Thus, an entire great circle of the Earth, several tens or hundreds of kilometers wide, potentially falls within the craft range.

Yes, I am aware of the functions of the OMS. And I believe that there was an abort mode for failure of the OMS, though it was not an OTA.

And where does the payload land on the 1-in-100 launches that the orbital insertion motor fails? At what speed, with how much kinetic energy, does it hit?

Note that current space vehicles, even man-rated ones, have about a 1-in-80 failure rate.

Or a PS/2 connector that the user tried to force in by twisting motion instead of just looking at the end to determine which way to put it.

I once watched in horror as a Post Office clerk did that to her keyboard (nice Cherry switches it looked like) while I was in line. She was forcing and twisting for a good ten seconds before I snapped and stopped her. The pins looked like my daughter's braided hair. I was able to straigten them out by sliding a mechanical pencil without the lead over each pin and carefully bend it back to place.

Troll of the week! Nice!

I've done this. Now I talk to the interpreter like this:
where ^a delete from table ^e name='bill';

Now my biggest fear is getting the ln and tar order of arguments correct, lest some huge directory get replaced with an empty tarball or going-nowhere link.

Why didn't somebody tell me my ass was so big?

It is rather misleading when these scientists turn to their ladyfriends and say "Come on baby, give me a little head".

Maybe you can, maybe your can't, but there is nobody that you can trust _more_ than Eric Paris. If the NSA has gotten Eric's compliance, then there is no where else for you to turn: not to Microsoft, not to Apple, and not to any of the BSDs.

Hi Eric! As much has I appreciate your competence and your attention to detail, is it not possible (or even plausible) that insidious code such as that found in The Underhanded C Contest might have been passed in under your nose?

Of course, it is reasonable to assume that the SE Linux code would be especially vetted for backdoors, and thus other areas of the kernel might make for less-eyes-looking-for-issues cover for a backdoor. But considering how much code goes into the kernel, is it not possible that some innocuous-looking code may have gotten through?

Of course, if SELinux or any other component is compromised (or the hardware), then it is safe to assume that _no_ operating environment is any better off.
