Jodrell Bank Telescope Gets No Signal From Beagle

tipiyano writes "Continuing the story of Beagle 2 from earlier today it seems like the hope for Beagle 2 surviving the landing at Mars is reducing as the Jodrell Bank telescope didn't receive any signal from Beagle. In the words of a mission manager, 'I wasn't too worried about the missed link with Odyssey, but it starts getting serious if Jodrell Bank cannot get a signal either'."

Firstly, I thought that christmas is supposed to be the celebration of jesus's birthday. But is that really what were celebrating, what I think is that all of this santa mumbo jumbo is all setting up for every man woman and child to worship Satan/the Antichrist.


well im wondering where the kennedy assasination fits into all of this. im wonder what caused you to possibly this cynical. is it because you had some bad christmas experiance, or is it becuause your a grinch.

And since you get some of our not-so-smart ones, too... (Aaaahh-nuld)... It's okay with me. I'll have the last laugh when Schwarzenegger becomes president.

Laugh away.

And when you figure out that without a constitutional amendament That stupid fuckwad can't be president we'll laugh at you.

For a government that has passed insane laws like the DMCA and the Patriot Act, a constitutional amendment to let Arnie become president shouldn't be all that difficult.

You don't understand numbers, let alone binary.
Ok, let's make this simple for you, and do it in decimal.
There are 0002 types [...]
Look, I used 4 digits. So you think that means I have 10000 "values to deal with", whatever that means. And yet the value is just 2.
The digits go from 0..(base-1) so you have (base) digits in all. The representation of this count of digits is always 10, in any base.
Listen to yourself, "1 types", you have used a plural so clearly you can't use 1 there...
Perhaps you could come back to us when you get out of kindergarten? (That will not be any time soon, it seems)

Come on now, I don't like George Bush either, but isn't that a little harsh?!

EUian Space Agency is Garbage

[tealover]

This debacle is really not surprising. They should stick to sending hairy little creatures into orbit. There are certainly an abundance of EUian women to fit the bill !
