Not a flame or anything, but did you check the source for the Bittorrent client you downloaded?
SpywareInfo shows there is a Bittorent client floating away with an infection of spyware.
Just for grins, I checked my machine and McAfee (
Virusscan Enterprise 7.0.0, virus defs 4341) didn't complain about ABC [Yet Another Bittorrent Client] 2.6.5 being on my machine. (Nor did AdAware 6.0.) So McAfee doesn't go after all Bittorrent clients.
I went back to double-check and I misread the capacity as being in pounds when it was actually in kilograms. Curse you, conventional "English" measurement system. I go now to hang my head in shame.
It's off topic because it's a GPS launch, not a recon sat launch.
It's also more than a bit stupid because a Delta II isn't a heavy SLV (space launch vehicle) and a GPS satellite weighs a significant chunck of the possible lauch weight. (The article didn't say what model GPS sat was launched, but assuming it was the newest model, the IIF, then the Delta II couldn't handle two of them, let alone one of the NRO's monster satellites.) If I can look up the sat weight (3758 lbs) and the Delta II lauch capacity (4971 for the configuration used) in under five minutes, then he can look it up too.
While the price may be the same between $150 for cube and bundled game versus $100 for the cube and $50 for a game off the shelf, the value isn't the same. The bundle is only as good of a value as the seperate pieces if I want the game that *Nintendo* picked. Otherwise it's $150 for the bundle and $50 for the game I really wanted.
Plus, there is the smaller market for people getting a second cube. (Which I'm pondering myself, to avoid the just home from work/just home from school conflict between my son and I....) If you've already have the games you want but need the second console, then the bundle isn't a good value for you.
Dude, you need to get out more often. 100km is about an hour's worth of driving at highway speeds (or about 40 minutes worth if there aren't any cops out.)
Basically, you're off by about three magnitudes: Jupiter isn't 140km in diameter, it's around 143,000km.
Except if you read
the NASA site, they use metric measurements, then give the "stupid american" measurements. You have to blame the Associated Press for not using metric when they reported this on the wire.
For those too lazy to click the link, this is the relevent quote from the press release.
Even if you were to limit it to just the People's Republic of China, then you'd still have to include Hong Kong. (The brits did give it back, after all.) And even then you'd get some saying that Taiwan is technically PRC territory anyway.
that does nothing I couldn't accomplish in an hour of python scripting around ssh
and
I were inclined to touch Windows programming, I might do it myself...
So get off your high-horse and put your code where your mouth is. Go create a competing product and sell it to the government for half of what Groove charges.
According to this page on Sedna, it's got a perihelion (closest approach) of 76 AU, outside of the scattering influence of Neptune. 2000 OO67 has an aphelion like Sedna, but a much closer perihelion at 21 AU.
I would say that NASA (and everybody else) has always had a single planet focus. Doing a quick scan of the Planetary Exploration Timeline at NASA shows two other probes with two planets visited: Pioneer 11 and Mariner 10; a planet and sun combo: Ulysses; and then a sprinkling seven or eight planet and comet or comet and comet probes. All the rest (around 200?) are single target missions. (It's early, my counts may be off.)
The thing about the Voyager missions is there was a window in 1977 where the gas giants would line up for the Grand Tour--where we could use the gravity assist from one planet to get to the next in a reasonable amount of time. Now, this only happens every 175 years, so I doubt I'll be around to see the next Grand Tour mission. So
However, like most grand tours, the Voyager missions did suffer from the
"If It's Tuesday, This Must Be Belgium" syndrome of taking some pictures and
quickly moving on to the next destination. Most of the probes nowadays are more like picking a beach and spending your entire summer vacation there, so you have enough time to become familiar with the locale. (Or, to use the correct terminology, a flyby mission versus an orbiter mission.)
The short blurb on PhysicsWeb said the measurements were all made by Voyager 2. A single pass is, while better than nothing, a rather limited snapsnot of a dynamic system.
Sounds like we need a Voyager 3 and 4 the next time there's a decent slingshot out to them. (Which isn't any time soon.)
If I come across anyone using this near me.. I will punch them in the face.
Good move, punching someone with an automated camera. They'll have a wonderful picture of you to show the cops, the judge, and the jury. Then you won't have to worry about these cameras for 5 to 10 years with time off for good behavior.
I don't know about how effective the tuner is....

But the site sucks big time. Nothing like having to constantly scroll in a tiny window when the rest of my display is going to waste to make me want to buy a product.
Of course, the site is designed with the artiste in mind, which means looking good is more important than actually being good.
He used a three photo technique where the scene was recorded three times on a glass plate (in a row, not overlaid) with different filters. If you look carefully at the river, there is color distortions from the small waves.
In the article, it points out those words listed are good for getting past his filter. If you don't normally have mail that uses those words, then your filter will still catch it as spam.
Now, if you do deal with the Berkshire Marriott frequently, asking them for comments on your wireless setup, then yes you're up the creek.
With the alternative "cripple mode" boot sequence, NASA was able to pull off about an hour's worth of data off of Spirit that had been acquired before the problem started.
It's cheaper and safer to train a pilot to handle G-induced stresses than in a real plane. Plus, you're saving the aircraft from stress, which extends the lifetime. Finally, it's cheaper to clean up afterwards if there's a problem--much less cash involved in replacing the centrifuge's motor than in replacing a jet, even if it's only a trainer.
Of course, this is only a suppliment. The pilot will still require in-air training. Just not as much to keep in top shape.

Damn, you've got a lot of porn showing up on your start page.
Errr, wait a minute....
Just forget I said anything, okay?
Yeah, you're right. Over at spacetoday.net they list it as being GPS 2R-11. (For the record, the IIR is 2370 pounds.)
I went back to double-check and I misread the capacity as being in pounds when it was actually in kilograms. Curse you, conventional "English" measurement system. I go now to hang my head in shame.

When you can show me a public display like the Longest Line then I might agree. (Be warned, it's a video clip.)

It's not quite a funeral home, but what about coffins? It's funeral related after all.
Yes, the links are all off-topic and gratuitious. You're welcome.

Just look at SCO's lawsuits.
I don't know the date of the first use, but Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii photographed parts of Russia for the Tsar in 1909.
He used a three photo technique where the scene was recorded three times on a glass plate (in a row, not overlaid) with different filters. If you look carefully at the river, there is color distortions from the small waves.
If it had been in the New York Times, I'd have bitched about the registration instead. Think of this as a change of pace.

The second auction was for age, not height. (See page 3, paragraph 2.)
When you get the simple facts wrong, people will tend to doubt that you've made valid conclusions.
With the alternative "cripple mode" boot sequence, NASA was able to pull off about an hour's worth of data off of Spirit that had been acquired before the problem started.
Only a couple of frames were fillers of random values. Most of the frames were engineering data. No actual scientific data came down, though.
Still, it's a good sign that it's still able to talk.
