I have had Direcway for years. The biggest drawback is the bandwidth limitations. If you download more than 420M within 4 hrs, they shut you down for 4 hours. It made downloading Redhat9 a painful experience. I had to use leechftp & limit myself to 12k....ugh.
Have you ever seen Tron? Just imagine that being the coolest special effects of all time then watching Star Wars. If you're in you're 20's yeah I can understand not seeing the impact it made. But compared to the movies of the age like Tron, The Blob, etc, it was the dawning of a new age in movies.
At first they thought it was rolling slowly for a very long time. Maybe the Martians were kicking it around & poking it with a stick.;)
I was watching the whole thing on the webcast. I was personally disgusted when cnn & the others cut it off to run some interview with Nicole Kidman while it was still rolling across the surface.
I'm not flaming because my story wasn't submitted but if you felt it was news you might want to find out why your editors rejected it yesterday as news.
I've got computer science and many certifications. I recertified a couple of them but the hope is diminishing that I'll get another job in I.T. Those still holding those jobs know how hard it is to find one and are holding on for dear life. When a position does come up I'm either overqualified or buried in the mountains of eligible people who submitted.
Thats cool. I wish they had real pics being beamed back on the way. One camera facing Mars and one facing Earth so you can watch one fade to a spec and the other get bigger.
Don't forget they were severely constrained on budget in the last administration. There were countless stories on how they managed to build something that went to mars for something like 14 million. Thats amazing when you look at the cost of a shuttle mission to earth orbit. They're not going to constrain spending to a bare minimum when human life is at stake.
They were just saying there are many sequences of events that could cause this. If it sensed the battery was overly discharged it will stop sending data & wait for a recharge. It could be as simple as this.
Yeah this is what happens when you outsource I.T. work & they implement Microsoft or 3rd party software end to end solutions for VoIP. Use a damn router with real encryption like we did years ago. It's amazing how stupid businesses got in I.T. in the last 3 years since Clinton sent our jobs overseas.
Quit believing in Star Wars the movie. We're not turning the moon into a space station. It's not military. It's science & exploration.
Your argument on completing the ISS makes it sound like it's an American weapon. WTF?
The vast majority of mankind, however, lives under conditions of grinding poverty and the advances gained from the space program do not benefit them in the least.
What do you want us to do? Hand out free GPS units to 3rd world citizens? It's free bandwidth. Anyone can use it.
Our first goal is to complete the International Space Station by 2010. We will finish what we have started.
Yeah we have to finish what Clinton started. We didn't need a friggin space station. It was a waste of $$ but Clinton got other countries involved financially & we'd be jerks to pull out 100% now.
To cut it short, the ISS is not a weapon, the moon won't be a weapon, Mars won't be a weapon or tactical vantage point. You're living in a conspiracy theorists dream world.
I don't think so. Remember pdf's when they first came out? Apple only. You can now download Windows compatible viewers and it gives the end-user freedom of choice on all aspects. Thats what I understood it to mean anyway. Just like mp3's can be played on all operating systems.
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - The $1.4 billion U.S. Destiny lab opened for business at the International Space Station Sunday, cracking the hatch on a new era of scientific discovery that one day could lead to human expeditions beyond Earth orbit.
Well during the.com boom the rate of people snagging IPs was so fast that we were in a very real threat of running out of IPs. I had to submit all kinds of paperwork to prove I needed a/24 subnet at one of the.coms. But consider the fact that much of the world hasn't gotten to the internet craze yet. Once that happens this will probably become a problem once again.
I live near a river (100 yards away) and grew up here. Personally the 38 skip record sounds weird to me since you can skip a small one many more times than that with the near flat angle of entry & make the skips about 1" apart. I've never counted but I would estimate over 50 from the continuous stream of splashes as it skims the water.
Now here is the kicker. If it's on a river the water isn't perfectly flat. I wonder if their "magic angle" took wave size into account? You really have to get a higher angle to keep it from diving into waves if necessary. No I didn't RTFA. It was/.ed.

If you want to legalize it I'll sell you a lot of land on Mars so they can't take it.
As soon as we finish drilling in your rock garden we'll roam off. Keep the heat shield and air bag with our compliments.

Spirit sent diagnostic data for 20 minutes this morning. I'm not sure why it's not on slashdot yet since it happened 8 hours ago.
Yeah and a tiny camera hole pointed down during re-entry if they could make it not melt ;)

I hope the next rover has a 3 fingered probe to hit those keys.
Grin...it's Mars and it's not Windows. It's the red screen of kernel panic.
Dell does has S/PDIF. Even on some of the laptops.
I don't hate MS Office. It does everything I need it to. The only thing i hate is the price.

Regarding your sig....do you even know any cattle ranchers or are you going from some city slicker point of view? I grew up on a ranch. How about you?

Heh...cracking the hatch....leak...funny.

You must have had an ISP that was much more liberal...grin. Giving workstations real IPs was no excuse to get a class C in Austin.
