Those guys are running a very expensive experiment, are logging it and they have no idea what and where they are logging??
When building the rover, they probably just put vxworks installation cd in, and selected "Typical Install for inter-planetary missions", clikced "Next" a couple of times and got the OS running in no time.
Now, if the NASA engineers are anything like me, they didn't bother to check what was being logged and where... after all, when a problem arises, then you can go to/var/log/ to see if there's anything interesting.
Part of me wonders if this 'feature' of our eyes is responsible for ghost sightings.
It's a bug! No, really, it's a feature:P
I don't remmber exactly what causes it so please correct me...
There are cone cells in the middle of the retina that are help seeing shapes and colors of the objects you are looking at. Around the outside of the retina, there are rod cells that are sensitive to light and motion, so you sense small chages in light in the corner of your eyes. For example if you look at stars in night sky, you can find them "better" by looking past them.
I remember when in school and army I used to kill time doing this. I had a notebook with pages upon pages filled with 6x6, 8x8 and 10x10 matrices and numbers all over them. The smaller ones were easier because you could calculate more moves in advance. I have never realised that this could be an "official sport" with a chessboard.
Many years ago I saw some guy doing a kinght's tour blindfolded on tv. I thought that was amazing, he must have calculated every move after he was given the starting square. But now it seems so simple, you just need to know a magic knight's tour by heart and that's it! (Ok, memorizing that is still pretty amazing by my standards:)
So, they went on to create a silica glass dvd mounted on a lego brick assebmly and sent it 305 million miles away, only to realize afterwards that Mars doesn't have Region 1 dvd players. duh.
Despite the huge fuss about Harry Potter books, I've never read any of them.
However, when I saw the title "Harry Potter and the Entertainment Industry" I though "I think i want to read that book!"
Are there anybody who has used Opera as their browser, but have now changed to Mozilla?
I've used Opera for many years and only use IE on rare pages that do not work with Opera. I have downloaded Mozilla many times and tried it but it always seems so "odd" compared to Opera.
Opera has tabs (i love them), i dont get popup windows with it (when i came across a page that doesnt seem to work, i temporarily allow popup windows - no big deal), it's fast, crashes rarely (i like the way it remembers open windows after a crash), i can zoom pages easily (+ and - keys), q-a-z-x nav keys are great for "left-hand-only-browsing" *cough*:P
so, are there any Opera lovers that have changed to Mozilla, and why?
Yep, with these new digital projectors it's just a matter of sending bits to the theaters all over the world.
Heh, I am now downloading old Disney cartoons (Donald Duck, Goofy, Mickey Mouse etc.) with Kazaa and Gnutella, and had this idea of a new P2P (projector to projector) network for distributing the digital movies.
The people at the theaters would have a screen like this:
Diskettes are so.... 2001's!
Couple of years ago I was fortunate to see total solar eclipse, and I used CDs. If it has got lot of clear surface on the label side (e.g. NT 4 installation cd) it works great!
In my laboratory where I experiment with all kinds of materials, and usually came up with something.. umm... interesting (read: my kitchen), I have found that when made of eggs past their "Best Before" date, Omelets pass through my body very quickly. It doesnt take long after I have put it to my mouth, before the stuff wants to come out from the opposite side of my body.
As a non-english speaking person I found it difficult to read the article, because every time they talk about "Bill Number 1609", I see this picture of thousands of Bill Gates clones. Oh the horror!
I guess I'm waiting too much fot the Attack Of The Clones.
Yep, I have wondered that too. I've listened to the directmusic samples from directx sdk and I like the neat transitions from one music sytle to another. If I remember correctly it uses dls soundbanks and I don't know many soundcards that support it in hardware. My own card (terratec xfire-something) does but it sounds like crap:P I guess it's easier to use premade "raw" ogg/mp3/cd audio music instead of making the music in realtime, relying on sound hardware to make it sound good, or doing all the mixing/filtering of the samples in software and trying to make the music sound "rich".
In my experience rubber bands get weak, especially in warm places, and eventually break. I would not like to have a computer running when the "insulation" breaks and drowns the motherboard.
Then again, this thing is supposed to take the heat out so maybe it's cool enough.

Or something like that. IANAES (eye scientist)
Aw, I dunno. That's a chick show. I prefer programs of the genre "world's blankiest blank."
*Looks around*
...no.
...does it support the flight simulator too?
If not, then I'm not interested, thank you!
Yeah and from my experience, 1 year of experience and 5 years of BS doesnt take you very far :P

I am single and living alone, so if I want to build this thing, can I use my Gillette Sensor Excel or do I have to buy a LadyShave?

Can anyone explain what these tabbed palettes are? I _hope_ they aren't normal tabbed windows with different palettes in them :P
