If you read Groklaw and I am sure many of you do SCO doesn't have a case.
What you mean is: if Groklaw's interperatation of the facts and the law in this case is accurate and mirrored by the presiding courts, THEN SCO doesn't have a case.
Well, neither of my parents are stupid, so I explain to them what it is I am doing and why.
I implement many of the same things as listed in other posts: Non-admin accounts, Firefox, auto-updating virus checkers etc. The point is that all these are solutions selected based on my product knowledge, what I try to give my parents is a good understanding of the first principals involved.
This has equips them to deal with issues in a timely way, solve their own problems, be empowered over the computer as opposed to being intimidated by it and most importantly, not call me every time something happens, but instead call me to boast about how they solved X, Y or Z.
The Beagle2 lander was a small part of the overall mission. It was the result of an opportunity ('scuse the pun)later in the Mars Express project to tack an extra mission onto the mission platform. The process of obtaining detailed imaging of the surface of Mars is far, far more than "nothing to show for it except for failure." Have a look at the ESA page about the mission for more information.
Anyone can sit along for the ride on a project that is already well run and staffed with motivated people. If you really want to show your employers what you are made of, you will takeup the lead position in the lagging, "uncool" project and turn it around. This is an opportunity.
As to the consequences of turing it down think about this: Companies want people who can rescue projects, motivate staff and above all communicate setbacks to superiors effectively. You don't need to be a superstar, but declining the position will show that you are scared of a challenge and like to hedge your bets rather than commit.
Take the job and don't look back: Be direct with the existing project team and make sure that you understand the sources of their frustration and conflicts. Then decide on a direction, communicate it and provide leadership. Tell the truth and tell it early.

I am intrigued at the paucity of foreign cars... Go for something exotic! I have a neat little Toyota Sera (www.carimports.com.au), 1994. This is the car for a geek, -straight from a manga film. Next year's project is to whack in a turbo. My aim is to run it in the Targa Tasmania (www.targa.org.au)in 2001. Another little project: I am about to get my hands on a 1977 lotus Elite (www.csinet.net/rio). Cast-aluminium engine, Plastic body... How Can I afford these toys? I ride a bicycle to work...

"evidence that the library of Alexandria was burned down my Muslims is slender and in fact Muslims preserved the literature of the ancient world"
Especially true given that islam didn't exist when the library is thought to have been destroyed!
We lived together for 4 years. She steadily turned to the geekside. Now she's moving out and taking my Xbox and ST:NG collection with her!
That's why you weren't invited! ;)

How was he supposed to know the money would start burning?
Maybe because he put it in an oven..?
I don't really know of any WYSIWYG editors that support anything else that's XML-based.
How about MS Word 2003?

Yeah, the same way those Shuttle crews were kept fully informed of aware of the risks by the NASA administration.
