Cool thing about satellites is if you're on the same path, you must also be going the same speed. Collision avoidance in LEO is quite elegant. When two satellites are predicted to pass uncomfortably close to one another, one satellite

We've always been able to eat that quickly. If you're suggesting there wouldn't be enough food to feed an army of humans, need I remind you that elephants are made of meat?

no worries brother. sendmail is an email utility that runs on your server. You can tell it to do whatever you want. (and there are many alternatives that do this too) Basically it sends whatever you want as an email. Badges: When you send a

I felt SOO late to the game when I got into Linux in the 90s. And now I'm that old motherfucker with a quarter century under my belt. Holy hell, time flies.

Are you safer and more comfortable in the universe than your ancestors were 1000 years ago? How about 1,000,000 years ago? How about 1,000,000,000? Thought so.
