This man (Eisner) is clearly losing his mind to claim the ability to create a verb that is as old as language itself.

I wonder if it was summer in the North when this was taken? If it was, I'd like to see more data half a Marian year from now, to see just how permanent this permafrost is. If you look at the picture, there is a concentration of hydrogen in the North, but it is not nearly as large as in the South. This raises some very interesting possibilities. What this means is that there is condensation on mars (of one form or another), and thus it may be possible to make (inefficient compared to on Earth) stills on Mars! Visions of Dune are flying through my head right now. I wonder if there are sandworms there (bow before Shai Hulud)?;)
The really interesting part of this report is in the beginning: "The process continues generating a cascade of protons and neutrons in the upper few meters (yards) of the martian soil." What do they mean by the upper few meters? I would tend to think no more than a dozen, but that's the problem with language like "few". At any rate, this does not preclude the existence of water in the more central latitudes, it only rules out water 'close' to the surface. It's still possible that there are underground aquifers buried beyond the range of the method they used to detect hydrogen. Their own map even supports my theory; there are slightly bluish regions in figure three as far north as the equator (the limit of the map). Since the signal strength is dependent on both the depth and size of the hydrogen sample, this interpretation is highly probable, I think.
This also has interesting consequences on the search for life on Mars: if they want the best odds of finding life, they will need to go to the edge of the region that has the water signals, and dig down until they hit the upper edge of the permafrost. Things like Viking and Sojourner (if it looked for life) only looked at the surface, and didn't have a good idea of where on the surface of the planet to land to look (I'm not sure where they landed, but I'm betting it wasn't outside of the 120 degree belt where the water signals are scarce [assuming the North and South poles are approximately the same]).
I wonder why they didn't publish data for the North polar region? I find it hard to imagine that there was an asymmetry on the planet, or that the probe switched it's instruments off because they were only interested in one pole. I'm not implying that NASA is trying to hide anything, perhaps the data was symmetrical enough that they didn't want to waste their time publishing it on a preliminary report like this one. They may also not be finished crunching the data from the North, which would make this a very preliminary report. I'd still like to see the results for the whole of Mars, though.
The last interesting possibility is that some of their data doesn't point at water at all. They have detected the presence of hydrogen, and water is only the most abundant hydrogen containing compound on Earth. Other chemicals that contain hydrogen that may (this is a big may) be present are: methane (CH4), lipids (too many to list), oil (again, many), ammonia (NH3), carbohydrates (name literally means that it contains carbon and hydrogen, e.g. C6H12O6) etc. What I'm saying is that there may be oil deposits on Mars (very slim chance, but not nonexistent). More likely it's just water and/or ammonia, but all this means is that I'm even more eager to at least send another probe that can test a sample for life and run a spectral analysis on a small core sample (assuming they can get the sample to the surface before it evaporates).
I'd still like to go back to the Moon and get stations established there first (availability year round and shorter distance being two of the main reasons), but I am suddenly a lot more interested in going to Mars, too.

Read the guy's post for Christ's sake! You point that bnetd is illegal because it permits people to use a pirated copy of the beta is wrong. If the sole purpose of bnetd was to circumvent copyright protections, then it would be illegal under the DMCA. Since bnetd has significant non-infringing uses, it is not illegal under the DMCA. Just because the Warforge source fork (note: not bnetd) permitted people to play War3b, does not mean that bnetd, or even Warforge, was illegal. If you take nothing from this post, remember this:

" To suggest that the government not have standards is just silly."
Standards of what? I was talking about standards of taste, I think you were talking about standards of quality. I agree that the government should only fund quality work, but I don't think that the government has the right to fund based on taste. The problem is when people confuse the two, as often happens.
It's time to make an app that will make a "LAN" out of the internet. Nothing drastic, just an IRC chat client, and some software to keep track of the IP addresses of the gamers, and fool the game in to thinking that the game is being played over a LAN. It shouldn't be much harder than hacking together a new battle.net, and I doubt there is anything Blizz legal could do about it (since all you're doing is making a virtual UDP LAN with a chat client, Blizzard's own software is doing all the rest). This software could even be open source, since it requires Blizz to add the LAN play themselves (read: War3 betas wouldn't work with this). I see definite possibilities...
IIRC, "obscenity" is to be determined by the community the "obsenity" was displayed in. The reason I remember something to this effect was that some judge ruled that nothing could be considered obscene in New York City (this was before Rudy, I think).
That depends. If the government is going to fund art anyway, it has no right to pick and chose which art it funds arbitrarily (that would be like censorship by drowning out). If the government wants to cut off funding for art, fine, but it cannot take sides.
I doubt that it was cost that determined whether they would dub or sub. Dubbing will always be more expensive than a straight sub. For subbing you only have to translate/englishify and then add the text to the bottom. For a dub you have to translate/englishify, pay the people to do the voice parts, and pay artists to resync the lips (or bend over backwards to sync the new dialog to the old lips). For proof of this, look at the fan subs of popular anime that float around the net: all they used was a video editor, text, and enthusiasm.
The reason they dubbed is because they considered their audience to be half-literate morons who wouldn't watch if they had to read the dialog. That, and the fact that censorship is easier/less obvious if you don't have to worry about people who might understand the original dialog, too.
My father was a swabbie, and so was one of my older brothers. Neither of them watch cartoons, and neither play with legos, but neither appreciates Pablo Picasso, heavy metal music, an elegant proof, or great literature (my dad reads a good book he enjoys from time to time, but he hasn't really delved in to the classics yet). I appreciate all of those, and I enjoy legos, anime, and watching the standing waves under my faucet if I turn the water down and hold my hand close to it. Am I better than them for this? No. Are my tastes more sophisticated? Possibly, but I just prefer the term different. The false associate with "animation" = "for kids" is just like saying "Renaissance" = "art" or "really skinny" = "beautiful".
I wouldn't be bragging about being associated with unsophisticated people like that:P.
"If I were as dumb as you, I could be a jarhead too!" --the navy brat's credo
The bits about Cowboy and Bebop mentioned by others are true, but only half the story. The Cowboy bit also points to a level of lawlessness and the frontier in the story. The Bebop bit points out the superb soundtrack put together by Yoko Kanno.
The names do mean something, you just have to watch and think to figure out what. Some examples:
Trigun: the main dude uses three guns Ranma 1/2: poor Ranma is half man half woman (sort of, cold water changes him to a girl, hot water changes him back) because of a curse Outlaw Star: story of outlaws set among the stars Macross: the ship is named Macross Slayers: show about adventurers in a fantasy world with a comedic bent etc.
The closest thing to Anime I've seen come out of America was the original Heavy Metal movie. It's not really quite anime, but I would say that it is at least on par with the average anime fair. Heavy Metal 2000 plain sucked. The only thing they carried over from the original was the girls who kick butt bit. HM 2000 was basically just a standard Hollywood action flick that was animated. The original has a certain dream-like quality to the story flow that I really enjoy.
"He's never done anything immoral... Unless you count selling dope disguised as a nun!" -- Hannover Fist, from Captain Stern
The following anime is quite good, and accessible: Give Trigun a try. Trigun is a helluva good series with an interesting blend of the comedic and serious. You might also try Vampire Hunter D and Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust. The former was the first, and only Ok. The latter was made recently, and was done better (interesting note: you won't find a subbed version of Bloodlust because it was originally done in English). Macross Plus (either OAV or movie should be good, I've only seen the OAV) is also quite good, and it has the same director as Cowboy Bebop, and the music composer, Yoko Kanno, also worked on both (though most of the Macross Plus stuff had a more decidedly pop bent than the jazzy Bebop soundtrack, you'll probably like Myung's theme).
There's also the standard fare (not the greatest, but entertaining and very accessible), Tenchi is fairly good (the series Cartoon Network calls Tenchi Muyo! [the 12 episode one] is actually an OAV that was heavily edited), Ranma 1/2 is hilarious (though guaranteed to never appear on Cartoon Network), Dragonball Z needs to be thought of as a live action comic book (if you ever hear the original Japanese voices it's funny because Goku sounds like a squirrel with his nuts in a vice), the City Hunter movie was pretty funny, and Slayers is priceless if you know anything about RPGs.
Once you've developed a taste for anime, you might want to check out Evangelion, Gasaraki, and Serial Experiments Lain. I would advise against starting out with them, though.
Not saying that it's not a good idea, but everything they do is so heavily edited it's pathetic. Consider Outlaw Star. That series dealt with sex a lot (i.e. Gene was called a space cherry, not a space rookie) in the original, but Cartoon Network cut all of that out (including all of episode 23, which explains where Gene gets those four uber-powerful caster shells). I haven't been able to get my hands on anything but eps 1-4 and 23, but I'd be willing to bet that Gene was sleeping with Suzuka and Aysha, too. They also edit out any blood for some reason.
The translation of Cowboy Bebop wasn't horrible, aside from the standard censorship, but the voice acting was terrible. The guy who talks Spike just doesn't know how to get those subtle gradations of emotion in his voice that were in the original (we're not talking soap operas here, Spike is pretty stoic, but even stoics betray some emotion in their voices). Just compare the end of session 6, Sympathy for the Devil in the subtitled and dubbed versions to see exactly what I mean.
I'm all for anime on TV (I've become an anime freak of late), but, damnit, they need to do it right! I don't object to dubbing as long as the translation, lip syncing, and voice acting are all done well. Dumping the freaking censorship is also a good idea.
If I really want to get my anime off of cable, I find that the Action channel tends to do the best job overall (no censorship, and they even do both subbed versions from time to time).
Every Blizzard game I've seen since WC2 has been playable online if you know your buddy's IP address. Excluding Warcraft I, and maybe Diablo I, every Blizzard game has been playable over just the plain old internet. The thing is that Battle.net is the only place where there's sure to be a large enough concentration of Blizzard players to get a good mix of competition.
Now, Blizzard has claimed in the past (like 6 months ago or so) that battle.net was expected to be a loss leader, but that it actually made a profit off of ads. I doubt that that's true now, judging from the general decline in banner advertising and the amount of self advertising I've been seeing on battle.net in the past couple of months (things like: WCIII will be the greatest game ever, coming... or You're ad here! we have lots of users...). So what I'm betting is that this is just Blizzard scapegoating whatever they can over a lack of profitability for battle.net.
