If you use Time Warner's SMC8014 series cable modem/Wi-Fi router combo, watch for firmware to be released soon that they are reportedly in the process of testing.
And if you are a hacker planning to pwn Time Warner's SMC8014 series cable modem/Wi-Fi router combo, be sure to get your exploit written and distributed soon before the new firmware is released.
Then all is lost. You will be too busy fighting for daily survival - trying to outwit gangs of bandits, scrounging or stealing whatever scraps of food you can find, amputating your own gangrenous limb using nothing but rusty garden tools - to think about movies or entertainment of any kind.
Wouldn't that suck? Spending 8 months in transit to Mars only to find a crowd waiting for you once you land: "yeah, we actually invented this really cool new engine like the week after you guys took off."
If the joystick were centuries old and the steering wheel were some newfangled contraption being tested by Toyota, you'd probably feel the exact opposite way about what seems intuitive.
the instrument detects movements as small as 3.5 km/hr (2.1 mph), a slow walking pace
So let me get this straight: If this thing were observing a star system 50 light years away, that's 4.7x10^14 kilometres... and this thing can detect relative movements as small as 3.5km/hr?
A 16GB music player still holds somewhere over 1500 songs @320kbps. That's enough to keep me going for at least a couple weeks before I feel the need to resynch.
Considering I can buy a 1TB drive for less than $100, I don't particularly care which percentile I might inhabit... I see absolutely no reason to rip CD's at anything less than 320.
If something goes wrong on the surface, help is potentially as little as 39 days away, depending on the relative orbital positions of Earth and Mars, instead of 6 months.
And by the time we have a permanent human presence on Mars that necessitates this kind of year-round communication, some interesting new propulsion options might well be on the table.

Sometimes it will chew up 90%+ of CPU for no apparent reason.
It's thinking different.
Unless he meant yesterday's headline not tomorrow's ...
what if Disney itself goes out of business?

I mean, does the solution here have to be complicated?

Great, another venue for vi / emacs arguments to play out.

I had the power steering belt break in my '88 Celica ... except I noticed pretty damned quick since that same belt also ran the water pump.
Overkill. All you really need to do anything in this world is a mouse with one single button.
are any of these 32 new planets at all interesting?
Define interesting.
Can I cover the person in mirrors?
Naah. Sure they may begin to discover more and more planets, but at a certain point the number of planets around each star begins to decrease

Consider me impressed.

YMMV
96 pixels wide by 128 pixels tall
If this thing is a 3D display, shouldn't there be another pixel dimension quoted here?

Guys like this always pop up again somewhere. We have not seen the last of Darl McBride's assholery ... not by a long shot.

Fixed.

Wow, I had the exact same conversation with my unemployed brother-in-law yesterday!
Not when Mars is occluded by the sun it wouldn't be double.
Your reading skills have failed you.
and she's buying the stairway to heaven ...
I'm still trying to figure out that last part,
I believe the standard notation for this is a single line containing three question marks.
