I think it's likely that this version of the DS will have no place for a GBA cart, much like the GBA Micro has no place for a GB cart. That would be OK by me, since I haven't played a GBA game since I bought my DS, and if I ever want to I still have my original GBA (and the original DS...)
I've converted many of the raw stereo pairs of images from Spirit and Opportunity into 3D anaglyphs (red/blue glasses required).

Check it out. These are way better than the anaglyphs that NASA has released.
A stirling engine takes advantage of the fact that gasses expand when heated and contract when cooled. A Stirling engine simply moves gas (commonly air) from the hot side of the engine to the cool side, and moves a piston when the gas presure in the engine changes.
These engines are tyically very effecient, quiet and simple - but they do not start instantly. It takes time to generate the temp. difference between the hot and cold side of the engine.
There's a pretty big difference between getting hit by the ballistic debris or dead body of a missile, and getting hit by the fully functional thermonuclear warhead blast!
Buying the XBox only helps MS if you also buy XBox games. MS is taking a loss on each XBox sold, and they can only make money on the system from the game licenses.
If the goal is to hack the XBox to run software that doesn't kick back a license fee to MS, I'm sure MS would be very interested in stopping that project.

When you are there it's about being there. When you aren't, it's about planning to return.
When you have discovered something this amazingly cool you naturally want to share it with your friends. That's why there are 30K people out there, with no advertising budget. If you go, you have to tell people about it.
I would challenge you to visit the Black Rock playa right now and try to identify the location that hosted the event.
"Leave No Trace" really works at this event.

Time to open the box and check on your cat now!
Still at least 2X the IQ of DIGG, though...

"Incredible Uptime" would be an excellent name for a porn site!
The Shuttle mission to Hubble got cut because of scheduling pressure, not safety concerns.
We are comitted to completing the International Space Station, and we are comitted to retiring the Shuttle soon.
There is no way to meet both of these mandates unless every remaining Shuttle mission goes to ISS.
The sad and tragic thing is that these scheduling pressures are already setting up the next big Shuttle disaster.
I'd say there are better than even odds that we will lose another Shuttle and crew before the Shuttle fleet is finally scuttled.
Lets experiment with your email account.

1. Simply put your email address in the signature line at the internet forums where you post.
2. Post at those forums (doesn't really matter how many posts. One each will do the trick.)
3. Report back to us in a month!

Not very sexy?
Didn't you see this in the specs?:
Touch Sensor | Head | Pressure Sensitive Rubber
But I'm pretty sure the phrase "Pressure Sensitive Rubber" should always be followed by the words, "For Her"...

Well at least "Google" didn't get linked to something nasty.
Consider the poor makers of the canned meat product, "Spam".
Or the makers of that diet / candy stuff: AIDS.
I can just imagine the gloom around the Aids offices when they realized that a deadly disease just got the same name as their product!
That's 2 million years to Aldeberon at the speed of Pioneer 10.
Eventually we will make something fast enough to overtake Pioneer 10, enven considering it's huge head start.
Well, eventually if we stop blowing money on the Shuttle/ISS moneyhole and start doing space science again.

If this keeps up Microsoft could be in danger of being seen as trying to build some sort of monopoly!

Oddly enough, they were discussing, "...a training set with your personal tastes" on the BSDM list just the other day...
"...but when they realized that they were talking to launatics, they 'clamped up'"

Aren't all astronauts civilians? It's true that virtually all of them came from the service, but they are all NASA employees while flying for NASA.
