  1. Objectives met on NASA Mars Rover Spots Its Ultimate Destination · · Score: 1

    Since all planned objectives have been met, how about sending one rover to other rover and pull it out of its hole. Then, working as a team, explore MARS together in the true "spirit" of cooperation.
    What an "opportunity"!

    The bad news is that the FIX is in, the bought dogs of avarice voted their conscience ($$$$).
    Politicians should serve three terms, 2 in office and 1 life sentence in prison.
    Another reason for the separation of Business and State.

    Well he does sort of get stereotyped in zombie roles these days.

    P.S. Don't take yourself so seriously, wanker - nobody else does.

    He was a zombie during his presidency, King George the 1st was the true power behind the throne.
    Besides, it appears to me (at least) you are the one who's seriously piqued, wanker? Droll attempts at flames will be met with gentile mists.

    Absolutely, but blurring the entertainment and political lines has unintended consequences, thus this discussion forum.

    I thought you were going to mention Ronald Reagan, then I saw your ID.

    Ask your grandpa.

    Ronald Reagan was and still is a B movie actor and a B politician. He was not acting when he became Governor nor president. Tommy Thompson was doing both the same as the Governator.
    The presidency is a figurehead position with lots of power. The president does what is allowed by consensus, not what they want to do as an individual. Where were you when Kennedy was assassinated?

    Looks are deceiving, this goes for politics,entertainment, or ID's.

    Palm ended up drunken, beaten to a pulp in the dark of some back alley, as it should be.

  6. Re:Palm = Also-Ran, HP = Fail on Does HP + Palm = Facepalm? · · Score: 1

    I still have a Palm Pilot. The first time it broke,I called Palm,and they gave easy instructions for repairing it.
    The second time it broke I was stuck in the third world service center maze. Needless to say, it hasn't been repaired. I really liked it since it was effective as a PDA. In its day (circa 2000), the Palm was state of the art so to speak. I now use the iPod Touch much the same way except now I have wi-fi.
    As for HP, nice printers until you replace the ink cartridges.
    I consider HP computers the same way I do Compaq, full of proprietary bullshit, none of it wanted.

    At just .15 per bot, this confirms that the economic downturn has affected the bot trade as well.

    No stimulus package in sight. I'm holding on to my bots till the rebound.

    As for the removal of the Glass-Stegal act, the politicians did not remove it, they were bought to remove it. Bought by the people who would most benefit.

    Regulation breeds monopolies and big businesses that are 'too big to fail'.

    Regulation as well as deregulation laws written by the regulated, rubber stamped by the bought dogs of politics, are the cause of monopolies and bailouts. The end user/ consumer do not enter into the equation, except when someone has to clean up (pay for)the mess.
