Perhaps the computers will run smoother, but it wont stop the MacFuckWit behind the drive-thru counter from handing me the wrong stuff, only for me to discover it when im 5 miles away.
I would almost stake my life on the fact that there will be NO movement of classified aircraft whenever their is a foreign 'bird' overhead. Its standard military tactics to know EXACTLY what is and what will be and at what times foreign sattelites are overflying your theatre of operation.
".....and not some 'invented reason' coming out of the ass of some so-called 'expert' who hasn't even got the faintest clue what the fuck he's talking about."
By that i take it you are referring to one L. Ron Hubbard?
Hmmm, wanting more than 5FPS for "security" recording can mean only one thing......he is setting up a bank of camera's in the shower room in the women's dorm.
Otherwise, 5FPS is way enough.....most systems i have come across (no pun intended) are 1 or 0.5 FPS.
Considering the god-knows how many tonnes of water already being supported by the sea-floor - i cant see that 200 extra tonnes will make that much difference to the N/m2
The german law never stated that jews should be killed.......that was a fact that was kept from the majority of german civilians, and for which i have had personal discussions with many germans from that generation.
However, my argument DOES fall at the point where those who lived AROUND the camps knew what was going on. Still, this was never a law. It was a military order given by a madman.
Am i wrong? If anyone knows of a specific civilian law which ordered the genocide of the jews...please correct me!
You are right. I agree. We dont HAVE to follow the rules, but we just shouldnt whine if we are cought out and are made to pay the price.
I guess thats what i have been meaning......its not doing something wrong and getting away with it thats the problem. Its when people DONT follow the rules and then cry like a baby because they are held accountable.
I understand your point fully. My point is that when we start picking and choosing which laws we comply with......we are on the steady slope to anarchy.
What if a paedophile decided that he didnt believe in the illegality of having sex with kids? Does that mean its his duty to screw them all as his protest? I think not.
We all have to deal with laws we dont like, laws we hate......but for our society to have integrity, we HAVE to adhere to laws that are crappy...so that the body of law/justice in total can be enforceable.
This is HONESTLY not a flame people. This is a cool discussion, lets keep it that way! (not specifically intended on the poster who i am replying to now)
Yes, you are actually correct. There are very strict regulations which say how much of a copyrighted work that can be copied...usually for academic purposes etc. However, its still completely illegal (under scottish and english legal systems) to VHS a programme from TV or Radio. I know it sounds crazy - but its honestly true.
Law is law.....if you dont agree with it then you campaign for a change (as the previous poster has indicated he has)...but as long as the long stands, if you want to be a part of society, then you have to adhere to it.
I know it sucks, there are many laws i dont like or disagree completely with...but we cant pick and choose rules. If you want to be a part of a cohesive and succesful society, then you have to adhere to the rules.

In soviet russia, your antiquated spreadsheet calculates YOU!
apologies in advance
you sound like my girlfriend.
unless you are a "poor" laptop owner!
Administer is the verb form for administration or administrator.
The word administrate is an incorrect form of the verb created by some who drop the -ion suffix of administration.
Incorrect: He did a great job of administrating the estate.
Correct: He did a great job of administering the estate.
Be careful when forming verbs from nouns that end in -ation, as the correct verb form may not end in -ate.
administrate....sounds like the result of an evil marriage between a management consultant and a dalek.
if only there was a way to represent that shitty 4-tone intel tune in text!

Ahhhhhhh, i get it.....youre talking about scientology! All hail Xenu the intergalactic soul collector - just see Operation Clambake
I wonder how long it will take the scientology monkeys to order slashdot to delete this post.

Isnt there going to be an issue in that descending INTO the crater will potentially leave the rover in a shadow for a substantial portion of a sol?
If (as was earlier predicted) that the batteries lose capacity over the length of the mission, will this add to potential power problems?
I have to say...my preferred choice of new name was "porthole" ....damn microsoft and their nonsense.

There is a big difference between civilian law and military law. Just ask those guys in Guantanemo bay.

Ladies and gentlemen...i think we are perhaps the first group of people to be having an interesting and civil discussion on slashdot.
