Maybe the next one will use a 'three stage' design.
As I understand it, Hyugens transmitted to Cassini for as long as it could see it, and that was that.
So drop the probe, and drop a geosynch satellite into orbit. The probe transmits as much data as it can, for as long as it can, and the satellite buffers it. The next time Cassini swings into view, it gets the take from the satellite, and relays it back to Earth.
Dad of the Fantastic Four: stretchy, and super-smart.
Dad of the Incredibles: Very strong, very resistant to damage.
Wife of the FF: Turns invisible, throws forcefields.
Wife of TI: stretchy. Very competant, all around.
Son of the FF: Oh, wait. No son. Sue does have a brother, though, who bursts into flames.
Son of TI: Super fast.
Daughter of FF: Oh, wait. No daughter. They do, however, have a big orange guy named The Thing who's just a friend of the family.
Daughter of TI: Well, OK. Turns invisible, throws forcefields.
Baby kid in FF: Oh, wait. None.
Baby kid in TI: Protean, shapechanger.
Almost no session lasts as long, they're interrupted before.
True.
Besides, there are a lot valid long-running HTTPS (most of them are Web Service connections) and ssh connections. Even if I'm checking `just' the multi-hour connections, it's still several thousands per day.
So pay attention to the ones going to 'dynamic' IP pools, indicating residental DSL or cable. Such lists exist for spam filtering, if nothing else.
which timezone? Matching internal IPs to timezones is almost impossible (read: not cost effective).
Well, if your subnets are allocated based on georgraphy, it's not *that* difficult to determine.
Nah, just make a Star Trek series which is loosely coupled; more of a Twilight Zone/Outer Limts type dealie.
THIS episode is about a Federation Diplomat running into trouble on planet X. THAT episode is about a Federation ship making a discovery on some asteroid that has 'grave consequences.' THIS OTHER episode is a day in the life of the watch crew at Starfleet Headquarters. Next week, something else.
Same universe, same time period, same occasionally recurring characters, but different location/premise every episode, or every arc, or whatever.
Bearing in mind that I pulled the number '9000' out of my ass, the main point to take away here is that you can have black and white at X resolution, or you can have colour at.3X resolution; take your pick.
Also bear in mind that the thingy was launched in 1997, and was designed for far different purposes and tolerances that what you're used to.
Well, is there a difference between a couple of guys in line, waiting their turn, passing the time by swapping some lawyer jokes, and an advocacy group who shows up, starts pestering people, getting in the way, and generally making assholes of themselves, in an attempt to get legitimately arrested so that they can claim they're being hassled?
The men are founders of Americans for Legal Reform, a group of
outspoken advocates who use confrontational tactics to push for greater access to courts for the public and to monitor how well courts serve the public. One tactic is driving a truck around the Huntington area emblazoned with the slogan "Stop The Lawyer Disease." (emphasis mine)
Asking them to let you talk to people that participated in this activity is not the same as saying "Prove you don't have Vx".
So if Iraq had produced twenty 'truck drivers' who all 'drove a bunch of tanks into the desert' where 'guys in rubber suits dumped them out onto concrete' and 'have no idea what was in those tanks, but we were told to stay far away,' you'd take that as sufficient proof?
There's using a pseudonym that happens to match the name of somebody else, then there's using that psuedonym to then send out materials related to that person.
Tomb Raider was originally supposed to feature an Indiana Jones type male lead. The main programmer, however, decided that if he was going to spend a year staring at an ass, it might as well be an attractive female ass.
In Revolutionaries at Sony, written by and about the Japanese folks who actually designed and built the PlayStation, it's quite clearly stated that the PS was sold at a loss in the beginning.
Slashdot Mirror
You're right, I realized after I'd posted that I was thinking of a similar, but different, issue with the Spider-Man movie.
The basic premise, though, is somewhat similar. Somewhat. Kind of. More or less.
The story here was the he was promised a percentage of the 'profits.'
After some accounting trickery, though, it was claimed that the first Spider-Man movie made *no* profit, hence, he gets nothing.
Actually, as somebody else pointed out in another Slashdot story, the charas have powers appropriate to their roles in the family, and their ages.
Mr. Incredible tries to be the traditional father, he's the rock, the anchor, the big tough guy with the soft heart.
Elastigirl has to be flexible to run a family and juggle everything she does in life, and she has to be competent at actually getting things done.
Violet is the typical tweenager girl; hell, they flat-out refer to her as a shrinking violet at one point. She even hides behind her hair.
Dash is young, and dynamic, and can't sit still.
Jack Jack, still a baby, is unformed potential. He hasn't developed into himself, hence, he's a shapechanger.

We're trying to make sure that you actually intend to leave the country eventually, and not soak off of our wonderful social welfare programs.

Yup, a blatant and inexcusable ripoff.
True.

Why would they have to license the entire OS under the GPL because the shipped a GPL'd driver with it?
Oh, they wouldn't. They'd just have to release the code that they added to the driver.
What, you've never wondered why Bill's machine has an HTTP session that started at 8:45 and stopped at 5ish?

If, due to space and power issues, you can have a 9000 pixel image, what would you rather have?
a) a colour image with a resolution of 3000 pixes
b) a black/white image with a resolution of 9000 pixels
Actually, yes; your sims can acquire The Sims 1 for their computers and play it.
Don't forget, though, that the 'new world' that was 'discovered' in the 1500s had been visited by lots of people for a long time previous.
Go to certain parts of eastern Canada sometime, for example, and you'll find Viking burial grounds.
There are theories that the Americas had been visitied by Phonecians, Egyptions, ancient Chinese, all sorts of pre-European civilizations.
All I'm saying is, Iraq could have faked everything quite convincingly if they really wanted to, and I doubt W would have cared either way.
Well, is there a difference between a couple of guys in line, waiting their turn, passing the time by swapping some lawyer jokes, and an advocacy group who shows up, starts pestering people, getting in the way, and generally making assholes of themselves, in an attempt to get legitimately arrested so that they can claim they're being hassled?
Toonces! The driving cat! The cat who could drive a car! He drives around...all over the town...Toonces, the driving cat!
Classic, classic stuff.
And don't forget a heroine who's a)drop dead gorgeous, b) possessed of a massive rack, and c) has at least one dead parent.

Hence, Lara Croft.
Nonsense. Wikipedia throws it open to 'public' (dare I say 'mob') review. Big difference.
Oh, well struck, well struck indeed!
I can now state from personal experience that Dr. Pepper should not be forcefully ejected from one's nasal cavities.
Gord is, in this case, wrong.
In Revolutionaries at Sony, written by and about the Japanese folks who actually designed and built the PlayStation, it's quite clearly stated that the PS was sold at a loss in the beginning.
Well, in Star Trek 2, 5p0c|
