Yeah robots. They currently spend 7 days backing off their landers. They're impressive machines and all, but come on.....
Want to know what's 5 feet below the surface up there? Well, it's rocks and soil. Send up an astronaut with a shovel though, and you'll find out for sure a lot faster than if you send the current generation of mentally retarded R2 units.
Back in 97' when the Doom source came out I joined a mod project over at the local college.
The project is no longer around, but at the time my boss was pretty impressed with the work we were doing. I think that after I started to describe to him how the engine worked, and how we (I) wanted to change it, as a developer he saw me in a different light.
I'm not sure this would have happened if Id hadn't OSS-ed their code. It would have taken longer to impress the guy if he only knew me as a guy who wrote CGI programs and Servlets.
We're still together, and now I'm his technical lead on a big project.
Please forgive my ignorance, but if we can get such a 'clear' image of saturn from the ground, how come we can't photograph the lunar landing sites? Or has this been done already?
I'd love to see some photos of the Apollo 11 site, from above.
So if it's a 233, then I guess that you haven't dusted since mid-1997?
If you're worried about dusting with a damp cloth for fear of getting moisture on your hardware, you may want to take a look here for moisture free dusting, with a fresh lemon scent to boot.
I would die for this country. I love the USA, and I love my freedom. I want my 5 month old daughter to grow up in a land of peace and freedom.
Being from NY, to tell you the truth, I'm expecting to be hurt or killed in some way by terrorism. This doesn't stop my resolve to help though. I have already spoken to a friend of mine, a Commander in the Navy Reserves about signing on.
I'm also in the process of applying to both the CIA and the FBI. Perhaps I have a skill that they can use.

Hey, buddy. If you mod this down because of that troll from a few weeks back, you're an idiot.
Except that there are about 7000 dead. Not 200,000.
Getting on with life involves different things for different people. For example, some folks may find comfort in spending more time with their families and friends, some lose themselves in their work, and some carry on with their hobbies and interests. Whatever it is that a person needs to do in order to "carry on" and try to put some of the pain behind them is their choice.
Why be critical? People are aware of the heavy loss of life, and the implications of terrorism and violence coming to North America. The best way, IMO, to thumb our noses at those who would destroy our way of life is to continue with our way of life. Even if it means porting a compiler to our favorite OS, playing D&D or Quake, or ordering the latest Star Wars related Lego set. The Tantive IV looks pretty cool.
It's like they're trying to drag in a younger audience by making the show's theme song sound like one of those WB Teeny Bopper shows (Dawson's Creek and the like).
Also, they're really trying to attract a crowd by reminding us that it's cold in space, especially when someone is smearing gel all over your back.
So if they push for and get "piracy free" hardware standards, what will this really mean? But does a bunch of new hardware standards really make a difference?
Well, for Mom & Pop buying a new PC, they'll be limited in their copy options by their hardware/OS. Not that they're likely to be CD copiers.
But there's a hell of a lot of hardware out already that allows unimpeded copying. If only a fraction of us with this hardware were to maintain it & move it from box to box, we'd get at least, by my guess, 5 -> 7 years more copy time. Personally, I'm planning on keeping my primary box ( a 733 with linux/win98 dual booted ) as a backup machine, for the sole purpose of copying music CD's.
Which leads me to wonder: Does the new copy protection schemes prevent straight ripping only? Or do they also stop software like Adaptec Easy CD creator from copying CD tracks to.wav files? If not, then my copying will continue for a long time to come.
I'm just pissed about this copy protection crap as anyone else, but I don't have the time to stand on the return line at Target or J&R Music.
Besides, once the box is open, I can only exchange for the same title. And at the end of the day, after going through all that trouble, I don't want to end up owning something that I can't make a copy of, even though I have the right to do so.
I hate em'. Progressive rock & metal are more my style.
This is probably going to cause a problem for me though becuase my wife likes it when I.mp3 her favorite tracks. She likes to listen to them, jukebox style on her PC.
Even though, she's a non-technical person, she's going to be a little pissed (not at me, thank god), when I explain to her what the record company is doing.

Whoever you are, I think that you need to take a reality check. Like anyone would care that you're going to mod them down. Please.
Do I believe that you have an automated mod down script? No. Do I care? Not particularly.
I don't care about Karma anyway. I'm just here to read posts made by really, really smart people and maybe learn a thing or two.
So there's more to it than just trying to find space for more storage devices?
I work for a financial company who is a big IBM mainframe customer.... the guys who maintain the frames' are always looking for places to keep the DASD packs.
This problem even scales down to us distributed systems guys... where do we put the raid?? There's no more room for new servers!!! There's no more room in that tower for another drive!!!
>>Our enemies in this war, by contrast, looked at them and saw -- still see -- the death of their own values, their own ways of life, their effective autonomy. Such perception breeds both malice and fear. Inside those buildings, the people behind this attack believe, is where the end of the societies they come from and the values that they live by was and is being planned (whether consciously or not), and there is where the erosion must be stopped. The terrorist obsession with the World Trade Center was, in this light, not irrational. In fact it was, viewed in the context of a war of cultures, entirely understandable.
But instead of breaking our way of life, they've only brought us closer together. IMO our sense of patriotism is stronger than ever, and we are now even more determined to continue with our way of life.
They may have knocked down those towers, but they have only.... dare I say it.... turned those they've killed into martyrs for our way of life.

No tits. OK, so she'd have an easy time getting into a spacesuit, other than that there's nothing interesting there.
