I can see the need for a dual-core CPU: One core to restrict user operations, and another core for doing what the user wants.
But 2 GB RAM? Terabytes of storage? Gigabit ethernet? 802.11g? WTF's the point of having a terabyte of storage and enough bandwidth to saturate the internet connectivity of several small countries if you've got nothing to put there?

How about where/bin/login doesn't bind to a port and listen to inbound traffic 24/7/365?
Yes, there was a hole/bin/login too, but if you're running a desktop that you don't expect to log into from anything other than the console, you can turn off crap like telnetd.
> Not only does the center look markedly different from the surrounding dust deposits, but there are some clearly visible features sloping down into the center from the right; could it be frozen seepage?
I'll play killjoy here - and place 10 quatloos that the bottom formation is accumulated sand (possibly crusted up like some of the soil we've seen before), and the crater wall formations are indicative of a change in composition of the underlying bedrock.
But I'd really like to get that rover down there and prove me wrong.
I think the layering in the (sedimentary?) rock on the top of the far rim of the crater is also pretty interesting, although I can't think of a way to safely get up there for a closer look.
> My side was, basically: "But, Larry, the view would be so cool.":-) He readily agreed, but unfortunately, there's just nothing scientifically compelling up there. (As best we can tell from orbital imagery, that is.)
I was always curious about the heatshield or backshell sites. I doubt the backshell would be useful (due to chemical contamination of the surroundings due to residues from the backshell's engines), but the heatshield - an object with a known mass, known altitude at time of separation, and therefore a known energy on impact with the ground - might have acted as a pretty decent shovel/chisel/hammer on impact, either digging a crater bigger than what the rover could dig by trenching, by cracking a rock open on impact, or by deforming on impact.
I'm sure that's already been thought of and turned down, but I'm curious as to why, since it seemed like a way to get data that would be unattainable with the rovers' onboard gear.
> no pure white christian people ever rape. Its all these muslim foreigners!
The point of citing the Muslim rapes is to point out that while Western culture has its share of animals, our animals do not typically use rape as a political statement. That phenomenon is unique to the Muslim ghettoes, and it is a direct outgrowth of Muslim attitudes towards women. Face? Hair? Fair enough, but what does it matter - this is a culture that makes the Victorians look like libertines.
As for airdropping the pr0n - contaminating their culture is the point. If pr0n is half as big a threat to a culture as even our (Christian fundie) leaders believe it is to theirs, does it not stand to reason that pr0n would be even more of a threat to Arab culture, which places an even higher emphasis on sexual repression)?
Finally, (for the liberals in the crowd who care about such things) wouldn't dropping b00bie magazines, CDs, DVDs, and our other assorted memetic garbage on people be a lot less likely to kill them than, say... dropping bombs?
> This time it's a hole in the so called "Local Security Authority Subsystem Service" that's causing problems.
One of my first questions when I laid hands on an XP box: "OK, so now that I've un-dumbed-down the thing as much as I can... WTF's this LSASS.EXE process running as SYSTEM, and WhyTF is it listening to port 445, and HowTF do I shut it down?"
Answer: "Some sort of weird Microsoft shit, I don't know, and there's no way to kill it - in that order."
Me: "Fuck it, then. Let's block inbound 445 at the router, and on my personal box, I'll try setting my third-party software 'Firewall' to deny all inbound and outbound traffic to it. If anything blows up, I can always permit my box to talk to whatever machines it needs to talk to".
Nothing blows up. Yet another Microsoft unnecessary service running with SYSTEM privs is forgotten about.

We're presently engaged in a global war against a culture that prohibits the viewing of women's faces... a culture that - when when its adherents come to Australia, they see our women as whores fit only to be "fucked Leb style", and when they come to France and Norway, they "take turns" on 14-year-olds, then I say desensitizing these animals to sexual stimuli through regular exposure to pr0n is a feature, not a bug.
If we're serious about winning the war on terror, we shouldn't just be letting this stuff through the filter, we should be phoning up Larry Flynt, Bob Guccione, and Hugh Hefner and placing enough orders to load up a fleet of C-130s with copies of every wankmag that gets remaindered and bomb the fuckers into the sexual revolution.

Bravo!
While we're at it, I've always wanted to see a field guide to identifying common household microorganisms. For instance, what (sets of) critters are responsible for the "pink ones", "yellow ones", or "white ones"?
Granted, there's no practical health value to knowing that, I've always been curious as to who's living with me. My curiosity was piqued by moving from one apartment to another, and noticing that where my "old" dish rack and shower used to tell me I was overdue for a full-blown bleaching by accumulating visible yellow stuff in the corner, my "new" dish rack tells me by displaying colonies of whatever the pink bugs were. "Hi! We've got a thick enough protective biofilm here that rinsing with water won't work! Nyaah nyaa-OMFG, IT'S THE SODIUM HYPOCHLAAAaauggh...."
Another bug story - the single-pane windows in my first apartment used to (probably still do) harbor colonies of some green-black mold that would slowly drop spores onto the windows' venetian blinds during winter. Ugh. I hated cleaning those blinds (bleach, paper towels, up-close-and-personal) myself, but there was no way to convince the landlord to do proper remediation of the cracks in the paint around the windowsill, because the landlord didn't want a "mold" claim on the building's record. If it'd been a house, I'd have fixed it out of my own pocket and never breathed a word to the insurance company, but the work required was too extensive for me to DIY and the landlord didn't want to hear of it. Fucker.
Anyways, whatever that mold was, it was badass. I first discovered it because some had dropped off the blinds and set up shop on the metal windowsill behind a pile of boxes that blocked my view of the windowsill for a whole winter. When I found it a few months later, the mold had etched marks into stainless steel. Not only was it badass mold, but weird mold. It ate metal (and presumably dust/skin flakes and other spores) all winter long, but it left the huge pile of yummy cellulose cardboard (the boxes) untouched.
> You think that's bad, I spent 2 months building a robot and then 2 months training it to be my Ad-Clicking replacement!

Free Clue: If you're going to go into court and testify, under oath, sentiments like "The legal system's crazy! The officers who arrested me are crazy! Your Honor, you're crazy! You're all crazy! I'm the one that's sane!", the only hope in hell you're going to have is an insanity plea.
If Ian Clarke wants to prove that our legal system is insane, he should come the fuck over here, run a node, call the cops, show them what's going on, get himself arrested, and become the test case. But he doesn't want that -- he wants someone else (one of his users) to take the heat in order to make his political point.
If you're an American you want to lose all of your posessions (asset forfeiture) and spend 10-20 years in the meat grinder of the courts to prove Ian Clarke's political point that the US legal system's fucked up? If you're Chinese, do you want to get shot to prove Ian Clarke's political point that the Chinese legal system is fucked up?
You're free to do so if like. Personally, I think you'll be volunteering for an awful lot of pain and suffering to prove something that the rest of us have known all along:)

The sad cases are the parents. My mother tried to get a couple of packs of [a common cold remedy] for her mother, and asked the store staff why it couldn't be found on the shelf. I had to wait until we were in the car to explain it and tell my mother never to ask that question again, because knowing why certain medications aren't on the shelf is probably an even bigger red flag than asking why.

The young bull said to the old bull, "Hey, old bull, let's run down into the valley and maybe we can fuck one of them cows!"

Yeah, yeah, whatever, you just release 'em into the wild and you don't have to do anything other than sit on your fat ass and watch CNN for the rest of the day. Nukes?
