The mission's total cost -- about $600 million -- may have to be deferred from NASA's budget, Weiler said, but would not cause the cancellation of any other mission at NASA. The Mars rovers are an "agency priority," he said. The second rover costs about $200 million, half of the $300 million to $450 million to build and launch the first.
The total cost of building, launching, landing and operating the rovers on the surface for the initial 90 day primary mission was about US $820 million)
And according to the (Pathfinder site on wikipedia
Viking missions cost $935 million in 1974 or $3.5 billion in 1997 (not adjusted for inflation)
Pathfinder mission $280 million, including the launch vehicle and mission operations.
I'd need to replace the whole chassis and maybe even more as the original SUN power supply come with special connectors that connect to the original chassi which then has the 20 and 24 pin plugs. I'm miossing that too:(

There should be some asymetric encryption between your card and the terminal and additionally your credit card should have kind of ok/cancel buttons.. but thats prolly 10 years off
Blackholes and the like are thought to (slow and eventualy )stop time inside the Schwarzschild radius, without time theres no movement, without movement (eg excitements of atoms) you have no heat. Bingo:)
There is one fundamental problem in simulating the whole genome and see what it grows. For every atom you simulate you need like 10000 times the atoms to store the information about it. This means the physical space alone needed to store a full human in memory would be 10000 times bigger than the human:/
Lets see if quantum computers can help us here, because right now we can only store ~1 bit per atom, and we'd need atleast a few bits to describe what kind of atom it is and a few more bits to describe their position, states, charges, relation to nearby atoms etc. Superpositions might help us here, giving us more than 1 bit per atom.
This is just discussing the storage aspect, if that should be realtime you'd need a SHITLOAD of processors working on that.
PoP: Sandy of time while at first very frustrating turns out to a great game after you get the dagger of time. (first objective) The controls feel intuitive and with the ability to turn back time its a new kind of gameplay.
"MRAM is up to six times faster than today's static RAM," said IBM spokesman Richard Butner. "It also has the potential to be extremely dense, packing more information into a smaller space."
"Researchers have been trying for years to find a 'universal' RAM replacement, a device that is non-volatile, inexpensive, fast and low-power," Way said. "DRAM (dynamic RAM), flash and SRAM (static RAM) all have one or two of these characteristics, but MRAM appears to offer the best hope of an overall solution."
Keep in mind that coding for the xbox is essentialy coding for windows + directx. Now considering the game was heavily optimized for the xbox, theres a NVIDIA chip inside. The test results show the best ATI card blows away the best NVIDIA card.
> I'd blame Slashdot for making them look like attention seeking idiots. They are. As soon as users are able to run custom code (thru a verified bootloader) they can run copied games - just do a "softboot". The whole point of the all the signing is to disallow the execution of non trusted code (like a self compiled "hello world.").
And if you would actually understand the concept of a trusted platform with signed executables you'd realize one insecure component causes the whole chain to fail
The signed bootloader would still load and execute untrusted code, user code which code could start copied games.
MS isnt going to do this, it makes the whole security scheme obsolete.
Actually there are also stars aviable for search during day time but they are not visible for the normal eye as the sun outshines them. But a RADIO Telescope can still look at them.
But OSI never listened to 3rd Party coders either. Only one time a Dev took the time to listen to me and I showed him like 4 bugs nobody knew about and he was like 'Shit man! You're right! We should have listened to you before!'
Well I quit the game a few days after that anyways - lets see how much fun SWG is going to be:) *evil grin*
The funniest thing was duping tho and I still remembering releasing UOPlugIn Speacial Edt. took them 15 minutes to disable the tailoring skill and within 1 hour all servers went down. (The tool allowed to sew 25 (i think that was the max each sewing kit allowed before breaking) items and only consuming the amount of cloths necessary to produce 1 item - of course it also had an auto sell function:)
I emailed them like 3 months about this bug and they never fixed it - after UOP SpE release it took them a day to fix it ^^
No renaming the executable wont help as they use a different method of detection 3DMark. I guess they learned a bit from ATI and their quack.exe debacel.. not enough tho:/
If you would read the article you'd know that changing a few bits here and there (nothing affecting the actual code flow, just replacing one register with another) removed the 'bug' and the score dropped by 25%.

I second that, the game connects to STEAM every time I load a level.

the msil is made to be easily compiled into maschine code, there is no interpreter as its not interpreted
Thanks, was way before my first coffee! (No milk - eeek)
Yes and no,
:)
IANAP either... but here it goes.

Bingo
If you order one, get me one too!

Yes, thats basically what I've envisioned too. Now if someone comes up with a similiar idea and tries to patent it we always have prior art

Yes but it would be great if you carry 1 storage device (let it be the phone) with you and then connect all kinds of bluetooth hw to it.
Oh, today, lets see, I'll take the video and mp3 player module with me..

Any scientific data to back that up? AFAIK space is filled with dust (and stars)
Prolly nobody is going to read this but never the less I will post it.

DX8 was designed around the NV20 (NVIDIA) specs, DX9 was designed around the R300 (ATI) specs.
