I gues here's hoping the original panels were slightly oversized for it's projected energy usage and will keep supplying enough for a few more pokes and peeks around mars come next spring.
Oh and if you indeed work on the mars programs, please pass on that i am filed with glee and am very impressed at the outcome so far, hell-of-a-job!
I know i'm asking for the imposible here, but couldn't you have read the article first before asking us to spend time telling you things that are already in the article? WTF makes our time so cheap, and you so precious that we have to digest this short article for you so you dont have to read it!
Anyhow to awnser your question, allow me to quote the article: "Part of the wintering over strategy will involve positioning the rovers to soak up as much continuous sunlight, even as the Sun moves low in the martian sky, Bell said. Secondly, the robots are to be oriented so that communications links with orbiters zipping overhead is maximized, he pointed out."
In otherwords, they will go into low power mode, but not be switched off, and hopefully be positioned so that they wont loose communication for very long, if ever

You sound a little confused there sonny..
This is a _php extention_, so the only way you would see php generated 3d images in your browser would be if they were rendered on the website's server, then converted to gif/jpg, and send to your browser as image.. Thus taking no cpu power from your computer

When you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail!
Oh c'mon a little bit of a reality check here please! Sure IT people are having a hard time finding work, but in the current economic climate they are certainly not the only skilled professionals looking for a job!
Sure it might be a bitter pill since we had a artificial high for a while and the streets seemed paved with gold and the sky was the limit, but didn't everyone know this was bound to end at some point?
Sorry but there are very few educations that guarantee you a high paying job.. Welcome to the real world!
Oh great, and we all know how well the war-on-drugs is going..
Oh ps, incase you haven't noticed those companies who push their products thru spam-vertising , arnt really well thought off, or well known to begin with (I for one never recognised any brand names for the verbal viagra or penis enlargers they sell, i'd hope the same goes for everyone!)
Actually i would call Dell pretty open source friendly. For the longest time they have supported and developed drivers for their PowerEdge servers (and sold those with linux installed and supported before IBM announced it's new linux strategy), and offered Linux server and pre-installed (and supported) Oracle on linux servers. Also they have supplied some of the major tv networks here in the netherlands with mpg storage and play back servers..
No they are not a software development company, so they are not as visable as some, and they choose not to alienate MS (unlike like IBM who obviously still has some revenge issues). But they support Linux where it matters.. Selling products and giving support on them
Oh while you made an "Insightfull" comment (as moderators would have it) i think your insightfullness missed one titbit in his comment... April 1st.. Trigger any associations.. Aprils fools anyone?:-)
Next your gonna tell me those weird stories on slashdot.org on april 1st were real but also from a different country..
To be honest, for a big part i would tend to agree with Mr Nintendo. While Half-Life 2 and Doom III do sound promesing, most games are boring and bad rehashes of old concepts; Gets real old real quick.
However in my experiance it's not all about innovation such as adding camera's and microphone's to games, or inventing new game styles. However Open Ended game play does make a huge difference. (I lovingly call non open ended games 'Walking thru a cave with pretty new paintings on the wall' now.. just running the pre-dermined path untill you reach the end)
Open ended game play such as Morrow Wind and Operation Flashpoint made those games hugely enjoyable and long lasting for me. While neither concepts were 'new', being able to walk around, make your own path to the goal, determine your own side quests.. Really made me love spending countless hours in those games, and even re-playing them several times!
Personally i hope that that will become a new trend in games, not a new bell or whistle
it kinda depends though doesn't it. Like "What are their regular fee's they charge for their services?
If 2k or 3k is about normal for their work this is quite acceptable.. however if their normal fees are 500$ an hour, but they charged 3000$/hour for this one, thats a whole 'nother matter.
Keep in mind that high fees for top lawyers are 'normal', usualy it includes the secretaries, legal aids, etc.. Sure be outraged about those high fees, but don't tie it to a specific court case please!
The limitation on SCSI bandwidth is not the chipset or the PCI bus it's connected to, but the 20/40/80/160mbs it can send over the cable it connects it's drives with.
There's no reason what so ever why you would use a 'scsi' cable to hook up the memory to the chipset.. So limitations you assumed would apply, do not apply
No, old skewl "i don't even read the headline, never mind the article"./ style postings.
375 are being laid off from former Netscape campus. On top off that the San Francisco office is being closed along with an office in San Diego (from those people 100 are being offered jobs elsewhere).
In other words, the 450 people being laid off are not just from the netscape campus, but from a total of 3 places.. Ergo your math question is more a question of reading abilities;-)
I think the problem is that most people don't and wouldn't know the difference between a hacker (or cracker) and script-kiddies
Script-kiddies don't investigate code, don't investigate complex systems for flaws, and have no insight in what they are doing. However they do download pre-made tools, and try them on every system & website they can find.
These guys do the most (quantity not quality) damage and make hackers look so bad
Thats a somewhat shortsighted statement. Ofcource information is replicated a lot, but that goes for paper and magnetical storage alike.. Think how often we zerox things, books and papers are printed, etc.
The article mentions "producing information", and not creating unique content for induviduals..
Suppose that the DDoS zombies used use a internet name instead of IP addresses.. Why not change the DNS for monkeys.com & compunet to a nice NSA or FBI address range
Then sit back and wait for this law-enforcement stuff to finaly kick in

On the next mission, include windshield wipers for in solar collector design!
From article: "If both of those things hold out, then what is probably going to get us is dust build-up on the solar arrays"

Novell Buys Ximian
And later Novell buys SuSe
So obviously, since Evolution is a product by ximian, it is now owned by Novell
Note to self:
- Write major virus or worm
- Get a trusted friend to report me and split the 5 milion $
Thats a hell of a year income for sitting in jail a bit..
Oh and reading in the article it actually tells you whats used to obtain the 3gb/sec
"with two to eight Fibre Channel ports that can push out 250,000 IOPS - up to 3Gbit/s"
The limitation on SCSI bandwidth is not the chipset or the PCI bus it's connected to, but the 20/40/80/160mbs it can send over the cable it connects it's drives with.

I Think it kinda does!
Remember Moore's law doesnt say anything about speed, but about the doubling of the amount of transitors in a processor.
This is apropiate because the amount of documents and subpoenas exchanged seems to double every couple of weeks

Small correction on "Looks like a nice product, Linus and Co". Linus has moved to OSDL, so for now it's just & Co.
