Mars 1, Japan 0

Posted by michael on from the explosive-space-modulator dept.

davecl writes "Looks like Mars Space Defence may have claimed another satellite. BBC News Online is reporting that the Japanese probe Nozomi, which has already had plenty of troubles, has been knocked out by a solar flare. The scientists in charge say they expect the on board computer to 'repair itself', so it may live to fight another day. A salutary warning for those planning manned missions to Mars."

    Dude, seriously. That pic to which you link is kind of weak. First, you cite it by saying "Mandrake Linux. Because it's got bigger tits [tuxje.nl]."

    However, her tits are decidedly not huge. Quite nice, mind you, but "bigger tits" shouldn't be your bragging point for Mandrake, using her at least.

    Perhaps that's the point, perhaps it's a joke, and you're saying that you, in fact, don't really like Mandrake, so you cite large breasts, and then show a woman with not large breasts. Clever, but I didn't fall for it! Something like this may be more appropriate.

    Seriously though, it's kind of sad. YEAH HOT BABES AND LINUX!!!! Manages to be absolutely sad and devoid of any masculine power and almost mysoginistic at the same time. Quite rare. Women can only be passive, waif-looking sluts wearing Linux-branded undies. No wonder they can't get real sex- geeks with this kind of attitude have a lot to learn about women.
