For those of us who have no chance with the cute girls, there is the option of a 50$ prostitute. Just remember to use a condom so you don't catch any venereal disease.
Now, I'm not a strong advocate against software patents - I think that if I some day managed to write a brilliant piece of software, I should be rewarded properly by anyone who wanted to use that code. If I decided to give this code to individuals/universities/non-profit organisations/etc. for free, that's my call. But HOW IN THE HELL can someone be sued for writing software to accomplish a specific task?!? How can a company own licences for the concept of viewing a scenery in 360* ?
This is exactly what Steven Chu, Claude Cohen-Tannoudji and William D. Phillips got their Nobel Price in Physics for back in 1997. They've been working with this kind of stuff since approx. 1985. Cool stuff, though (no pun intended).
Sorry if this info has been posted earlier on the list, I didn't have time to read through it, just wanted to inform you geeks (and geekettes).
If i'm not gravely mistaken, the 3DNow instruction set is implemented in DirectExx, so basically any game run under Windows (using Direct X) is exployting this feature (if you have an AMD processor, that is...).

Actually, on the long run, I think the market for multimedia developers on Mars will grow significantly.
