IANANE (I Am Not A NASA Engineer) but, IMHO, it will be powered by using the tether as a power cord, using stationary rover's solar cells, who stays on the edge of the crater (not sure about mountains...), as in the image: http://www-robotics.jpl.nasa.gov/systems/systemImage.cfm?System=16&Image=414 Or maybe rechargeable batteries and periodical recharging from the main rover ?
Heck, if I had the financial freedom to do so, I'd probably spend my time jumping around between startups too. The startup phase is in a lot of ways the best part of a company's life. It's full of boundless optimism and exciting work. It's also full of staggering risk and the ever-present specter of catastrophic failure too, which is why it's not right for everyone.My brain loves working for startups, but my wallet doesn't. In Woz's case, he doesn't have to worry about the wallet part, so more power to him.
I couldn't agree more about the desire for slightly higher resolution. Maybe when Windows 7 comes out, because the screen resolution limit is based on Microsoft not allowing companies to sell Windows XP directly on larger screen machines, correct? Sony went way too far with the resolution on their new P series notebook. And I wish they would make different sized batteries that can fit the same notebook so that I could have a small one for home use and a bigger one for mobile use.
I thought EULAs were by and large found to be toothless since the customer must open the package to agree to it. By which point the transaction is complete sans EULA.EULAs are in my book stupid but mostly harmless. It makes the company feel like its ass is covered but you can't agree to sign away rights. You can't agree to be a slave regardless what you sign.I suppose the FTC could make them officially impotent but it's not high on my list of priorities.
Maybe it is a function of age. After having read the Onion online for years, you start to see the same formula applied to articles over and over. it almost becomes predictable. There are very few "original" ideas. I think the same thing with Saturday Night Live.And if Slashdot is supposedly a techie site, why can't they fix the 1.5" wide comment box?
Funny that was on of the big selling points of Blu Ray (or was it HD DVD? sorry, I totally forget) that the movie started immediately.How has that panned out ? 10 minutes searching I can't find anything about it any more, but I may just be missing the exact terms.
But there still has to be someone that finds it first and reports it. This cannot come from traditional media sites if they self-censor, but instead must come from true internet journalists.
While not research-related, may I suggest Mathcamp ? It is truly high-level math, 5 weeks, international (not just Canada/USA: that's merely the geographical location). Alternately, try SUMaC at Stanford; more researchy and less high math, but very good from what I've heard from Mathcamp friends.
That reasoning may make sense.Now how many Jimbos and Jethros are there in particle physics? 10,000 maybe? So if there a 1% chance on average that they're wrong the probability that they're all wrong is on the order of 1E-6 (somewhat higher because they're not independent of each other.)This sounds very much like the usual global warming skeptic: "But the climatologists may be wrong!" Maybe, but not (almost) all of them all of the time.
The result is that it's a ***** for proprietary guys to write binary only drivers for linux. Not true. Think about the technical means by which this is achieved: there is no stable driver API, and you're encouraged to get your code into mainline. This means two things:1. If you have a Free Software driver that isn't GPL-compatible, you get caught in the collateral damage. This is why OpenAFS isn't in the kernel
As a parent who has lost a child, I can say that yes, most parents will do anything necessary to extend their child's life by even a few moments.
Until you've been in that position, kindly STFU.
HAHA, NewEgg delivers NEXT DAY for FREE on almost all my orders! This is even when I choose the FREE shipping! This means I have a better chance of getting something then having time to get in my car and drive to a store. Plus the prices are better and the service is great. Most importantly you don't have to deal with Best Buy employees.
At that time, the ISS will jump to 6 ppl. It will typically include 2 NASA(America), 2 RSA(Russia), and then the other 2 will be a mix of ESA (EU), CSA(Canada), and JAXA (Japan). At that time, I would like to see the videos of all that is going on. You will have a sardine effect in there. I would not be surprised if one of the countries decides to buy a Bigelow Sundancer in 2010 just to get more space on there. It would be a cheap way to increase the living area and possibly allow new experiments. Say a large centrifuge for testing small life (mice) to varying g's making the ISS really useful?

And be compatible with the phantom console!
Mr. Wozniac? Is that you? Probably shouldn't mention it at the next keynote, then.
Have you even used Vista? I have had ZERO problems with apps not being able to run, and I run some pretty obscure stuff.

And the universe was created 6k years ago.
How many betas does a service pack need?

You want the government to give you everything?

I have yet to hear/see a rational reason why marijuana is still illegal.
It was pretty cool research, and I reckon it's probably a good approach to developing something like this
Stay away from pencil and paper! The students only get lazy because they don't have to remember anything. Slates are much better for most subjects.
