Ancient Mars Ocean Found?

· Score: 3, Interesting
One would expect a large body of water there. How the Universe Works "Extreme Planets" mentions a theory of Mars being hit by an object moving the Northern hemisphere crust to the Sorthern hemisphere. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2t2VkDYOfYM#t=12m33 (12:33 in, link starts there) I would assume leaving the Northern side lower as a result.
But I guess the bottom line is Google gives me the results I'm looking for, things like the "Define:" feature I use a lot. I used Yahoo when they first started till Google which was just brain dead simple to use.
All of the companies were caught between a rock and a hard spot, they gave or would be screwed in some manner in the future, at least it's out that Yahoo put up a fight even if they did lose, they were the Front and apparently the only company to try to keep user data private.
Seeing this has been going on since at least 2007 the NSA has all they need on you by now, Not that it will ever prove to be of any benefit other than showing trends.
How can you not be playing the victim card when you self-identify as a minority, join a community and demand that it change it's standards to match your own?
I don't do flame wars which sounds a lot like what's going on, if I get flamed I'll just ignore it or give a neutralish, stabbing yet humorous reply (my objective at least). I see many do the same thing; there is one exception that tips many over the edge and you nailed it.
I call it the 2 week turnover, be a Usenet help group or a newsletter it's the same thing. Someone joins asking a question and gets a very detailed satisfactory answer, about two weeks later it's forgotten; when someone else joins asking the very same question expecting a decent or at least helpful answer. This question can only be asked so many times before a submitters gets flamed to no end and can't understand why.
The reason is, it's most likely a popular question (standard change request) that a simple search would of provided them with the very detailed satisfactory answer, posted previously.
All this unknown traffic is because more sites use Amazon's Cloud to host their content.
Good point.
I put this together to show what I block Amazon wise, yet have very few problems surfing sites.
These are just ones with "amazon" in the string. Lots are without the amazon string but too much work to sort out. an example would be 207.171.184.25 which hops to Smtp-fw-9101.amazon.com according to http://www.robtex.com/
It's much more involved for me as the above just pertains to Amazon. I block all links that I shouldn't be linked to. FaceBook and Google are two others that are a B!tc# blocking new links to, but block them I do and still use Google as a search engine, email other Google services with no problems. Facebook I've no use for.
Not a problem for me, I have an FBI file due to a Q clearance, and my habit of treating everything I post to the Internet as if it would show up on the front page or my kids ever read my stuff.
Every since I've been on the Internet I've been aware of NSA intercepting messages with key words, used to be common knowledge. They've crossed the line (NSA) but I'd rather use Google than any other search engine. Bing stands out as they have all but been proven to of installed a dedicated fiber bundle to NSA.
Opera browser (versions up to 12) was shown on one graph (iphone 4S) in the article and it kicked some serious a$$ but never mentioned again.
One reply to the article was about Opera being only browser to run Google Wave, kind of... "The only browser that ran it with anything resembling “speed” for it’s first year or so was Opera, and Opera never really worked very well with it anyway."
I enjoy security through obscurity but Opera is just too good a browser to ignore.

Salute them as 'early adopters' and congratulate them for getting in early to avoid the rush.
Long time ago the US Robotics 14.4 HST was one of the fastest modems you could buy, it cost $800 (US) + a verifiable online service and a 3 month wait. I bought one; just so happened that a new version was being produced (square lites) to replace the old modems (round lites) and both were being shipped at the same time. When mine finally showed up the box had all types of stickers on it saying in what ways it had been improved (whole new modem). I got lucky, It was hit or miss who got what.
One very verbal person got the old round lites and to say he was pi$$ed would be an understatement. I don't think he was ever appeased in anyway. For months he was on Fidonet and Usenet demanding a newer model -which he should of gotten. I really felt for him as well as everybody else that got the older models and so glad I had a new one.
The wide use of the Internet changed that type of marketing.
This looks like it might be a violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, the part about "exceeds authorized access". File a criminal complaint with the FBI.
You installed that plugin, it said beforehand what it's doing, so it's authorized.
Yep, wanna read something nobody has a problem with; read the ToS and Privacy Policy for www.Rovio.com (Angry Birds game being just one of their products) Anybody who's ever installed "Angry Birds" has agreed to not only allow data collection but it being sent to www.flurry.com for one, as well as some data being "sent overseas" whatever that means. By far one of the most "we collect your data and can do anything we want with it" Privacy Policy I've read to date.
This is something you have to allow, being a mobile device most aren't Rooted (jail broken / owned) and unable to block it.
I've watched the last few years as more and more of my web traffic was being routed to Amazon.com, for reasons unknown. The more sites I visited the more links to Amazon I found (Netstat, or TCPview from systernals). I don't do any business with Amazon as I have to pay taxes (Washington State resident), everything comes from NewEgg.com.
I've been blocking Amazon links (data collectors?) for all those years as well, but it's an uphill battle as more servers (addresses) are added all the time, they've become very persistent. I think you'll find Amazon doing much worse than just reading HTTPS pages, but that's just a personal opinion.
Slashdot, where Microsoft is Satan, Google is Evil, Apple is the Devil and open-source projects are pointless because thousands of programmers pulling in different directions.
Damn when did Google become "Evil"? Never the less they are the lesser of the rest and still my search engine.
For those of us who DON'T passionately follow the minutia of Microsoft's internal management and political issues and who generally tend to glaze over news about their VPs/middle managers as if they WEREN'T the most fascinating people with the most compelling stories to tell, what you did there was throw up a bunch of generic names that very, very few people could possibly recognize or care about. Would you please provide more detail as to who these people are, what they did, and why we should care, all while keeping in mind that the fact that we don't currently care about any of them
we're not at all compelled to waste our time justifying your personal corporate obsessions by Googling their names?
I did Google Bill Laing, still no clue who they are.
It looks to me more likely the problem was excessive weight at the bow and stern rather then midships, the effect is called hogging and is a known way to snap a container ship (or oil tanker) in half, both have occured in the past. Basically the keel (The BIG beam running all the way from bow to stern down the bottom of the hull) can only take so much sheer stress and if the weight distribution does not match the localised boyancy implied by the current displacement you can very easily bend the ship.
When I first saw the phrase "severe hogging" first thing I thought was a reference to overloading (hogging the weight ones allowed) ie: being overweight. Figure it came from reading the summery first, so I checked it out here's a PDF named Container Ships http://preview.tinyurl.com/ogy89e8 Page 8 shows Hogging and it's opposite sagging, now sagging I could of understood.
A nasty accident, but nobody died, and the hull and cargo will have been insured, so a better outcome then is sometimes the case.
From the PDF in the Summery, on the The cost of losing a week "In a recent Maersk Line survey, one global retailer explained that 70% of his cargo loses on average 25% of its retail value when it is a week late. With an average cargo value per container of EUR 30,000, the cost of delay equals EUR 7,500 per container."
goes on to say electronics lose even more, had to calculate a value on should of's...
Hope that explains why it is not just about total weight.
If I'd of taken the time to of read/. first, it would of help a lot:}. Thank you for post does explain how hogging is induced
As someone who has started learning about power and cycling - this was a job for an cat 1 / "elite" racer, or at least someone significantly lighter than the guy in the video. I ride pretty regularly but not competitively, and I'm able to do about 300W for a minute.
I can't find it now but a girl was the first to make a record - linked from the end of the video; also from those links 3 different guys 1 crash https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emK-qIbuJ-k so a lot of peddlers (?).
I'm wondering how much of a warmup he did - in order to do an effort like that, you really do need to be properly warmed up.
"The one-minute power test is meant to simulate the flight of the Atlas helicopter, which starts at a relatively high power during the climb and then drops down to a more reasonable 500-600 Watt range for the remainder of the flight.
The test were performed on October 5th and 6th, 2012, following an intense taper, weight loss program and peak at the end of August, and then a 2 week recovery phase. The results were lower than Todd's personal best (1 minute into the 460 Watt stage, and 773 Watt average for the minute power test), but as expected given the training phase."
being from there i bet half the people working on this came to work drunk and/or hung over most days
Then being from there you know how Russians drink and stay sober.
I'd read an article long ago about Russians and their drinking habits, this is what I've found on a quick search.
Monday, September 19, 2005
Russians are renowned for drinking a lot of vodka staying sober. That’s not something to do with biological inheritance but with the way we drink. Russians believe that foreigners don’t know how to drink. They don’t eat while drinking. They mix cocktails. They sip vodka instead of taking shots. They drink vodka with highly carbonated sodas. In short, they do everything to get drunk from the minimum amount of alcohol. May be it has something to do with innate Western avidity or expensiveness of alcohol. Russians, on the other hand, do everything to stay sober while drinking as much alcohol as possible. How do we do it? We try to neutralize alcohol as long as possible. I try to outline the basic principles of vodka drinking for uninitiated.
UAV career field takes flight Nonrated officers, retirees, trainees and...
Hundreds of Reaper, Predator pilots needed By Michael Hoffman - Staff writer Posted : Monday Sep 29, 2008 13:03:17 EDT
The Air Force will soon have nonrated officers flying combat missions over Iraq and Afghanistan.
Granted, it won’t be in an F-16 cockpit but behind a joystick 6,000 miles away, flying an MQ-1 Predator or MQ-9 Reaper from Nevada or New Mexico.
Bottom line: These new career unmanned aerial vehicle pilots will be dropping bombs in combat and flying a 10,000-pound aircraft in a congested airspace without completing undergraduate pilot training.
Chief of Staff Gen. Norton Schwartz announced the new UAV pilot career field Sept. 16 — part of a two-pronged approach to fill the Air Force’s need for hundreds of UAV pilots.
But the service also will explore the possibility of luring retired and recently separated pilots back into uniform to fly UAVs, and the idea of allowing enlisted personnel to fly UAVs has yet to be ruled out, according to Schwartz and Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force Rodney J. McKinley. A decision on that is expected within 90 days.
Checking without a HOSTS file as I did want to read it: I'm shown: The "Want to read more?" and subscriptions below, the "article" is part of the subscription div id="premiumcontent-summaryparagraph" class="gel-hidden" "The Air Force will soon have nonrated officers flying combat missions over Iraq and Afghanistan."
Now I'm not sure if there really is an article to read or not, pay a buck to find the above was it. Just saying if you have to disable your HOSTS file to read something, it was meant to be blocked in the first place.
I have accounts where the password is something useless like that. Those are on sites where the host forced me to create an account to get a coupon or something similarly idiotic to drive up their subscription rates
When you come across these sites you should post your log-in info to http://www.bugmenot.com/ It's helped me get into sites that I didn't wish to log into and I pay back by posting log-in's myself. It's become well known and many sites have requested theirs not be listed; but in the long run it works very well.
When you turn on your PS3, it will take you straight to a page of ads. Now, granted, you can navigate away from that immediately, but still: every time you start the PS3, you'll get bombarded with a screen full of ads. In fact, you're actually shown more ads immediately after turning on the PS3 than you are after starting the current 360.
I've never gotten AD's from the PS3 except those scrolling in the upper right which are of new games or events.
Playing Ratchet and Clank (only PS3 game in years) I had nothing blocked, I'd always start at the game selection where I'd start playing, the scrolling I noticed just welcomed me to PSN. During the game nothing and nothing as near obnoxious as your mentioning. I figure you might of sign-up for much more stuff than I.
Now I use my PS3 for NetFlix; turning it on I enter my account start at games left one, hit NetFlix - I'm welcomed to PSN then text ads start scrolling in the upper right about new games - that the extent of my ads
----
But seeing as I use the PS3 for NetFlix exclusively I've put Playstation.net on my routers "blocked sites" so I don't log in anymore, top right complains about DLNA error, but Netflix works better.
With nothing blocked I always have to select captions and sound options. With Playstation.net blocked, I'm asked to log in, it fails, I'm shown a list to goto for possible reasons of the failure, I skip that and NetFlix starts and my captions are always on, much nicer with Playstation.net blocked.
As a side note: I would never buy an Xbox now it's pretty much in stone. I don't like the controllers they are too large for me, PS controllers are what I like as they fit my hands better.
I use this free service http://www.fakenamegenerator.com/ to generated an identity. I keep hitting generate till I get a zip code that's close and use that info for whatever site.
An email address to that identity is also available (for a price) but I use www.spamgourmet.com for that.
"which was an unmitigated failure. An airport opening originally scheduled for October 31, 1993, with a single system for all three concourses turned into a February 28, 1995, opening with separate systems for each concourse, with varying degrees of automation.

Federal claims court disagrees, it's in the freedom of panorama link you replied to. I'm not sure why you would think otherwise when it has just been pointed out to you.
Was rushed the first reply and a "canned response". This time I did take the time to read the links provided: "For artworks, even if permanently installed in public places, the U.S. copyright law has no similar exception, and any publication of an image of a copyrighted artwork thus is subject to the approval of the copyright holder of the artwork."
I'll get the darn photo(s) approved. I'm certain the wish of the reconstructors as well as "The Friends of the Library" was for this to be in the public domain and why the plaque was added to the photo.
I'm sure wikipedia wished to use the photo as it was removed, replace with a pile of bones, which were replaced again by the photo until it's deletion date. Now the wikipedia entry is drab looking, it's been cut rather heavily -a good 3/4's of it gone from when I was monitoring it,
I was going to submit this photo as a snub for the photo's rejection http://i42.tinypic.com/34xf6lj.jpg (Photo: Nature trail informative sign of the Kennewick Man); as well as upload it to Google Earth http://www.panoramio.com/ as I do many photo's I take. even it's copyright is in question at this point.

I have to admit I'm kinda sorry I left Yahoo after reading how they fought for user rights
"Yahoo went to bat for its users – not because it had to, and not because of a possible PR benefit – but because
it was the right move for its users and the company. "

I used Yahoo when they first started till Google which was just brain dead simple to use.
All of the companies were caught between a rock and a hard spot, they gave or would be screwed in some manner in
the future, at least it's out that Yahoo put up a fight even if they did lose, they were the Front and apparently the only

UAV career field takes flight
Nonrated officers, retirees, trainees and...
Hundreds of Reaper, Predator pilots needed
By Michael Hoffman - Staff writer

The Air Force will soon have nonrated officers flying combat missions over Iraq and Afghanistan.
Granted, it won’t be in an F-16 cockpit but behind a joystick 6,000 miles away, flying an MQ-1 Predator or MQ-9 Reaper from Nevada or New Mexico.
Bottom line: These new career unmanned aerial vehicle pilots will be dropping bombs in combat and flying a 10,000-pound aircraft in a congested airspace without completing undergraduate pilot training.
Chief of Staff Gen. Norton Schwartz announced the new UAV pilot career field Sept. 16 — part of a two-pronged approach to fill the Air Force’s need for hundreds of UAV pilots.
But the service also will explore the possibility of luring retired and recently separated pilots back into uniform to fly UAVs, and the idea of allowing enlisted personnel to fly UAVs has yet to be ruled out, according to Schwartz and Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force Rodney J. McKinley. A decision on that is expected within 90 days.

I'm used to seeing a slender article in the middle of a page flanked by white space where ads/junk are being blocked by my HOSTS file.
The link for 'leper colony' : http://www.airforcetimes.com/article/20080929/NEWS/809290335/Hundreds-of-Reaper-Predator-pilots-needed
has everything but an article, just the header "Hundreds of Reaper, Predator pilots needed"
Checking without a HOSTS file as I did want to read it: I'm shown:
The "Want to read more?" and subscriptions below, the "article" is part of the subscription
div id="premiumcontent-summaryparagraph" class="gel-hidden"
"The Air Force will soon have nonrated officers flying combat missions over Iraq and Afghanistan."
Now I'm not sure if there really is an article to read or not, pay a buck to find the above was it.
Just saying if you have to disable your HOSTS file to read something, it was meant to be blocked in the first place.
I have accounts where the password is something useless like that. Those are on sites where the host forced me to create an account to get a coupon or something similarly idiotic to drive up their subscription rates
When you come across these sites you should post your log-in info to http://www.bugmenot.com/
It's helped me get into sites that I didn't wish to log into and I pay back by posting log-in's myself.
It's become well known and many sites have requested theirs not be listed; but in the long run it works very well.
When you turn on your PS3, it will take you straight to a page of ads. Now, granted, you can navigate away from that immediately, but still: every time you start the PS3, you'll get bombarded with a screen full of ads. In fact, you're actually shown more ads immediately after turning on the PS3 than you are after starting the current 360.
I've never gotten AD's from the PS3 except those scrolling in the upper right which are of new games or events.
Playing Ratchet and Clank (only PS3 game in years) I had nothing blocked, I'd always start at the game selection where I'd start playing,
the scrolling I noticed just welcomed me to PSN. During the game nothing and nothing as near obnoxious as your
mentioning. I figure you might of sign-up for much more stuff than I.
Now I use my PS3 for NetFlix; turning it on I enter my account start at games left one, hit NetFlix - I'm welcomed to PSN then
text ads start scrolling in the upper right about new games - that the extent of my ads
----
But seeing as I use the PS3 for NetFlix exclusively I've put Playstation.net on my routers "blocked sites"
so I don't log in anymore, top right complains about DLNA error, but Netflix works better.
With nothing blocked I always have to select captions and sound options. With Playstation.net blocked, I'm asked to log in, it
fails, I'm shown a list to goto for possible reasons of the failure, I skip that and NetFlix starts and my captions are
always on, much nicer with Playstation.net blocked.
As a side note: I would never buy an Xbox now it's pretty much in stone. I don't like the controllers they are too large for me, PS controllers are
what I like as they fit my hands better.
I use this free service http://www.fakenamegenerator.com/ to generated an identity. I keep hitting
generate till I get a zip code that's close and use that info for whatever site.
An email address to that identity is also available (for a price) but I use www.spamgourmet.com for that.
Cookies are taken care of with a .bat file.
And of course a HOSTS file, I use APK to gather all the HOSTS files, combine them then make a HOSTS file from it's output
http://start64.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=5851:apk-hosts-file-engine-64bit-version&catid=26:64bit-security-software&Itemid=74
makes for one nice HOSTS file.
Well there was the Denver Airport,
"which was an unmitigated failure. An airport opening originally scheduled for October 31, 1993, with a single system
for all three concourses turned into a February 28, 1995, opening with separate systems for each concourse, with varying degrees of automation.
The automated baggage system never worked as designed, and in August 2005 it became public knowledge that
United would abandon the system, a decision that would save them $1 million per month in maintenance costs,"

we both felt a bit odd as there wasn't a need to. It's a statue and a statue is free game
Federal claims court disagrees, it's in the freedom of panorama link you replied to. I'm not sure why you would think otherwise when it has just been pointed out to you.
Was rushed the first reply and a "canned response". This time I did take the time to read the links provided:
"For artworks, even if permanently installed in public places, the U.S. copyright law has no similar exception,
and any publication of an image of a copyrighted artwork thus is subject to the approval of the copyright holder of the artwork."
I'll get the darn photo(s) approved. I'm certain the wish of the reconstructors as well as "The Friends of the Library" was for this to be in the
public domain and why the plaque was added to the photo.
I'm sure wikipedia wished to use the photo as it was removed, replace with a pile of bones, which were replaced again
by the photo until it's deletion date. Now the wikipedia entry is drab looking, it's been cut rather heavily -a good 3/4's of it gone from when I was monitoring it,
I was going to submit this photo as a snub for the photo's rejection http://i42.tinypic.com/34xf6lj.jpg (Photo: Nature trail informative sign of the Kennewick Man); as well as upload it to Google Earth http://www.panoramio.com/ as I do many photo's I take. even it's copyright is in question at this point.
