Squyres said of the Gusev landing site. "It is a place that is almost, when you look at it, it looks like it was tailor made for our vehicle. Our vehicle was built to drive, our vehicle was built to explore.... We see rocks, we see enough rocks that we can do great science with them but not so many that they're going to get in our way. So we're going to be able to really motor around this place. So I'm looking forward to some good driving in the weeks and months ahead."
That is exactly what the driver of the last mission to Mars said when he hung up the rover on a rock and got it stuck.
I would hate to be the person who got the rover stuck on a rock with all those rocket scientists looking at me really steamed...
There was no carrier sense and no collision detection.
It was called collision avoidance. When your old man was communicating you avoided interrupting him otherwise there would have been a collision between you and him...
What ever happened to just screaming/yelling down a hallway?
The old-fashioned wireless communications method - very nice!
To the newer geeks: The above post is referring to the old wireless technology that utilized a unique QOS priority technique. Messages were encoded using higher and higher DB levels that really worked well - the louder the scream the faster people responded....
Give the guy a break - he was using Windoze on his laptop, which as we all know is not very secure, that's why he put it in the trunk. If he was running Linux he could have left it on the front seat with the doors wide open....
VIA Eden motherboards use about 9w of power. Take a bootable 'live' CD that can write to a USB memory stick for storage. With no constantly spinning harddrive you will only draw about 12w of power and the CD only spins when you boot from it or load apps. If you need more storage use a CDRW instead of memory sticks. Oh and get yourself a low wattage 15" LCD panel.

I think I see Beagle2! - or what's left of it.....
The power to price discriminate, especially for a monopolist, is like the power of taxation, something that can be used to destroy.
Sounds a lot like Microsoft to me....
Maybe grilled kids at 2am doesn't sound very appetizing to him...

If the old ones will end up on Ebay? I could sure use one that could see through curtains....
especially in the prostitution business - which isn't bricks and mortar, but rather tricks on corners...
I don't know what the main backbone server is either, but it better have one mother of a UPS or the whole Internet could go down in a power outage ...
Looks like Mirra needa a Mirra! /.ed already...
Watched a movie with no sound-track?
Went to a strip club with no music?
All would be pretty lame without tunes....
She's pretty busted alright!
Big endian, Little endian, Big Little....

If you can kill 2 birds with one stone then it would take 11,000 stones for 22,000 birds.
That would be 11,000 stones to be precise...
And I always thought that two with one stone was very lucky indeed!
It's called being a high-class Pimp.
unless it was your sorry ass that did it, then the steps are as follows...
2.5 Shred all the evidence that points to you, ala Enron
2.6 Plant false evidence
2.7 Blame the real culprit
Hellloooo Neumann....
Did any one get an Air Bazooka? Anyone?
OK here it is!
