Monster European Environmental Satellite
andygood writes: "Spaceflight Now has this article about the 'Mother of All Earth Observation Satellites' which will be launched by Europe in early 2002. This thing is the size of a juggernaut and 'every hour will gather as much data as can be stored on a dozen PC hard disks'. 'ENVISAT' (ENVIronmental SATellite) has been in the works for almost fourteen years with a price tag of 2.3 billion (Euro)."
Does it use linux, and can I push the buttons?
A dish on my penis.
when i first saw the picture, i thought it was a giant football field with goalposts and everything... good thing they have sense.
now, what i want to know is, if it's SO good at monitoring ice flows and mud slides, can it monitor THE BLOB?!?!?!?!?

I give it a 1 in 4 chance of either flying right into a mountain on take off, the rocket not taking off at all or it not reaching the correct orbit. Not to be a pessamist but it seems like every other launch lately does one something wrong.
It's not the OS it's the user that sucks. If it's user friendly, you get stupider people. - clinko
"[the satelite] was ferried to its launch pad in Kourou by a Russian Antonov and two Boeing 707 freighters. "
Using a strand of creeper held under the dorsal guiding feathers?

Immagine a Beowulf Cluster of these byitchiz!!!
you're just pissed that osama bin laden will be able to download from terraserver pics of you in a tacosnot session.
Please clue me in!
This Juggernaut will be unstoppable since it will orbit above the atmosphere, thus avoiding lightning bolts and their 3 points of damage.

I read directions at Google. They tell of how it can't do such searches without altering the phrase you are looking for. You can never search for "this is the word" and have it work correctly. You have to search for "+this +is +the +word" to get the proper result for "this is the word". Makes no sense. Even Google admits it is a bug and hopes to fix it some day.
you want monster cock????

I've noticed that responses like this one have become very popular on slashdot recently. I can't think of a single word or soundbite to describe it, but it's something along the lines of "I have absolutely no knowledge of the subject at hand yet I feel qualified enough to state that it is of no value to anyone."
We simply must come up with a catchy phrase to describe this kind of response. "Ignoramus" and "slashbot" are both too vague, and while "Troll" is probably the closest term, it doesn't capture the nuances of this common response. Any takers?

Way to go trolls!
A bunch of shit-eatin-porn loving, unwashed, eurotrash monkeys!!
...and since about 50 percent (at least) of all americans have european ancestors that makes them any better? Hmmm, when i think about it, probably yes. Better at shit-eatin, porn loving, not washing and added to this a high level of racism, dump behaviour, stupidity and not to forget an overpowered sense of being better than anyone else, even if this is not the case.
