Mars Rover Rolls And Turns
hcg50a writes "MSNBC reports that overnight, 'the golfcart-sized rover cut the final cord tying it to the landing platform that it came in on 10 days ago, then backed up about 10 inches (25 centimeters) and turned 45 degrees. These were the first maneuvers planned in preparation for having Spirit roll 10 feet (3 meters) down a ramp onto the Martian surface on Wednesday night or early Thursday morning.' The NASA Mars rover website has complete animations from numerous cameras of the 45-degree turn. Driver training was never this cool!"
You'd have yourself a Rover trained as well as an CEO?
I have been pwned because my
All this info you've provided really shows is that people are moving from 98 to XP. Linux's stay at 1% has more to do with rounding error than with lack of growth.
I'm not a fan of Linux, but your 'proof' is embarrasing.
you are saying that linux's 1% is just error, so that means nobody actually uses Linux, as this study is indeed suggesting.
is this my correct interpretation of your post?
what exactly is "embarassing" about my proof?
Ok, I use apt, but I am using fedora. Now I can imagine a couple of ways to do this, but is there an elegant solution already available for working with packages/repositories from different distributions?
ymmv
BTW, by your own unnecessary crack-smoking precision, 10ft is actually 3.048m. Hint: when converting, don't give back more precision than you got.

I'm sorry? Since when has belief in God been exclusive to the Bush administration's creationists?
There is no firm evidence for the non-existence of God, and therefore the use of common sense one way or the other doesn't really come into it. Many people, myself included, are totally convinced that God exists (in one form or another), and a good scientific grounding does not put that belief into question in the slightest.
Maybe you should question why you are so hostile to people's beliefs...?
This isn't to say I agree with the implication that God deliberately destroyed Beagle 2 but ensured Spirit's success because of their names.

Alright, all this GNAA nonsense is crap.
The above post contains this link. Apparently the headquarters of the GNAA trolls.

Call and email them and let them know what you think of the GNAA!
Are you sure?

Because religion has caused and is still causing most of the suffering and pain in the world today.
Human history is nothing but a great big bloodbath "for the glory of the God".
That MSNBC page rendering wrong in Mozilla 1.5 on NT for me. There a big chunk of white on the right where I assume the article is supposed to be. The article is found down at the bottom. Its been a long time since a page didn't render correctly in Moz. Is MS being bad?
Natural resources, colonialism, racial and ethnic intolerance, famine, etc. are also all causes of pain and suffering and war. Religion is not a major driving cause in any of these cases.
Just because it makes you feel better to point the finger at something you are not a part of, doesn't make you right.
Religious intolerance (something you appear to exhibit) has been the cause of war more often than religion itself has.
Xploit This bitch!
Colonialism was powered by religious ideas ("white man's burden"), racial and ethnic intolerance almost always stems from religious taboos, famine is often a result of the inaction of god-fearing but uneducated people ("God will take care of us"). I can't even think of a war in which religion was not one of the driving forces.
Banning religion like we already ban nazi-parties and nazi-talk would promote peace and freedom all over the world.

Oooh yeah, buzzwords! Sleepy Hollow!
When is the scheduled bump into the Radio Shack or Coke logo-ed Mars rock?
PS/OT: Does the off-centered "R" in Radio Shack's logo (circle containing the letter "R") have anything to do with legal matters? I've always wondered about that.

I hereby propose (and invoke) Jenkins' Supplement to Godwin`s Law: any thread, given long enough or a wide participation base, will eventually include posts that blame/glorify the current administration, no matter the topic. While not damaging to the overall thread, it immediately disqualifies the poster from any rational conclusion.

Marlon Brando rolled and turned in bed last night. The orbit of the Moon was slightly affected by the resulting shift in Earth's gravitational field, but NASA have emphasised that the risk of asteroid strikes is still low.
