The two rovers now in operation are risking issues due to dust covering their solar panels. And we've been reminded over and over how dust and wind have helped shape the surface of Mars for eons, etc.
But the parachute that has been laying around for the last 5+ years is still in one piece, just as it fell, and is as white as can be...
...is that what we're supposed to believe? How convenient that the raging elements didn't disturb it so NASA wonks could find it later.
Web calendars suck - it's Thursday the 3rd of March where I live...what day is it for you? Still the 2nd? ummmmmm
Sync with mine when the computer clocks aren't even on the same day? I don't think so. And don't tell me it's just a matter of checking...
As an example, Palm tried this and failed. For good reason.

All in all you're just another brick in the wall. All in all you're just another brick in the wall.
I may just be another brick in the wall, but the wall I'm in faces west, I'm at the top, and when the sun goes down, I'm one of the last sob's to see it...don't tag school kids!
> give consumers what consumers want, not what you want consumers to want
I was living/working in Japan in the early '90s, and it was common to hear how Sony took great pains to listen to students, artists, housewives, etc. as to what they wanted - in time, of course, that approach changed when Sony got into the entertainment industry. The believed the phrase 'content is king' and jumped in with both feet.
This marriage resulted in the kind of mindset within Sony that we all know and loath in the US...that of the music industry wanting to keep the 'album' as a metric - bleeding the customer again and again and again. CD's will mean lower cost...right...
Sony can try to go back, but other companies have the lead. I admired Sony until I got to Japan and found out the locals don't think much of the company, actually....too western thinking for the average Japanese consumer.
Today, the record/entertainment industry is the one bleeding, and Sony only has itself to blame for being in the same boat. Sony execs may cut those ties, but they can never wash the blood off of their hands.
Maybe you (and others) haven't noticed, but the desktop PC is a deer in the headlights. Game machines will take over before you can say 'service contract', with networked apps and entertainment ingrained.
IBM knows this....Sony knows this....Apple knows this. Microsoft knows it as well, thus the lack of steam behind Longhorn.
Intel?...those boys are cashing in stock options and selling die to Taiwan as we speak. Last one out turn off the lava lamp.
Bah! No one appreciates my work! Those stupid planet builders...what do they know?
New project you say... Can I bring my friends? Will I be famous? You seem friendly - come over here and let me show you my latest...quite nice, I think.
Actually, following Heisenburg dictum (using analog methods, of course), it's more along the lines of you popping up where it is - make sure to wear clean underware at all times while you wait.

A label??? Are you kidding me? Just a label?? I thought it was for real! I thought they finally figured out a way to give the poor Woodsman a brain! Oh, the ignominy...my shame has no bounds. I've been duped! Chagrined! dohhhh!!!
Correct, like 'smart aleck' or 'smart ass' or 'smart mouth'...is that what you meant?:)
I resemble that remark, so watch out or I'll send my smartgun on a errand of no-mercy!

You can't prove that I had any of the fruit or veg that has your IP in it!" the Boss blurts, placing his summons on my desk.
"You may be right," I say, "but I'm sure that a quick subpoena would sort everything out."
"Subpoena?" he asks. "What for?"
"Just a sample of your DNA - to prove that you now contain some of my IP."
"It won't show anything!"
"Oh, don't worry, I'd subpoena your tissue again if the first test was inconclusive."
"And keep on doing it until you find something I suppose?"
"Oh no. No, we only get two cracks at it - unless you've got three testicles"
"WHAT!"
"Yes, Well you realise that if you've absorbed my IP, any children you have would have to be licensed, and of course the only way I can prove absorption would be through your reproductive organs."

I've got a better record stuck to the bottom of my fishing boots...how do people get paid for this stuf?
...and this is like, what...the fourth time this particular business model has been run up the flag pole?
I worked at one of the principals 4 years ago when this 'idea' came through originally, and it didn't fly then, either.
People who run for public office aren't there for the money [clip] that leaves us with those who are there because they love power

I'm just curious...did that also sound like total BS on your side, when you reread it?

Contradiction in terms...no matter how you look at it.

While working in Tokyo when the 'LGQ' (7.8) hit in the South, the only way people could get messages out was by the 'net - this was in the mid-90's.
