It could simply be small isolated pockets (like a geode) which were broken when a further impact occurred. You are right about my analogy failing since the leakage (whatever it may actually be) didn't happen at the time the crater occurred, it just looked that way in the pictures I saw and in reality there has to be some other mechanism causing it.
The best thing to come out of the wii will likely be the controller. With replacements cheap and blue tooth receivers also cheap it may make life better. Windows drivers are already in development (here is an example of how far they have come and are playing half life 2 with the controller)
If you look at the high res images (from NASA here) You can see the flow emerges from the side of an impact crater. The water was most likely locked underground (as expected by the briney moist soil effect the rovers noticed just under the surface)
Its like diggign a hole in the sand at the beach, eventually water will start to seep in.
Imagine a future where that was possible. The only snag is Microsoft are the ones supplying the compatibility layer. I'm not talking about the bloatware open access applications, just the core dlls interfacing with Linux.
Now it wouldn't be free, but it certainly wouldn't cost as much as a full windows installation.
That has been the same from day one.
Spectrum vs C64,
Atari ST vs Amiga
PC vs Mac
new PC vs old pc
Windows 3.1 vs W95

You are right about the limited amount of Linux specific games at the moment, we need a resolution that does not involve simply running PC games.
Would kids care if they had to reboot their PC to play the best game in existance?
What benefit would you have booting from CD and running a cut down linux kernel for the game? Secure access, you know the system is as sent out and you know the chances of cheaters is less.
Time to don the triple layered Tin foil suit with extra ball protection. The army will have to think harder when civilians start running at them with faraday cages around them.
Additional questions...
Would a metal plate reflect the radiation back at them? How many minutes does it take to cook a human? Does this device go "ding" when its done?
The article is right, I don't like the Diffie-Hellman cryptographic key exchange, it smells. I propose the slashdot implimentation of the cryptographic key exchange involve should double rot-13.
UK roads may be slightly different, we are told to stay on the left and never undertake. We pass on the right, a person hogging the middle lane means a motorist will have to cross over all the motorway to overtake. Our motorways have slip roads to gain full speed, there is generally no real reason to be in the middle lane when near a junction (there is usually plenty of time for new vehicles to meld into the traffic without complication).

That disclaimer is very important, the BBC does not want CNN reporters sending tapes from 2000 foot skydiving through a twister. They also have a policy in place to pay people for certain images.
There is incredible sensitivity to initial conditions, we just don't know all the specific triggers yet.
Introduce one random variation in the cells of a human and they can die of cancer. Whereas other people can live and work in highly toxic environments all their lives and seemingly be immune.
What happens if the bug does *not* use the GSM network and is simply an old fashioned AM transmitter? It can just be using the mic and battery for its service, but generally the chirps would give it fully away.
Hell, if done properly it might wait until an actual call is in progress and then push its buffer upstream.
It was December the 3rd, the day skynet became self aware....
What an absolutely awesome piece of self identifying hotzone locating piece of hardware, the guys at Cyberdyne must have had a field day making it.
And now the intelligence is growing. "We're teaching EO-1 to use sensors on other satellites." Examples: Terra and Aqua, two NASA satellites which fly over every part of Earth twice a day. Each has a sensor onboard named MODIS. It's an infrared spectrometer able to sense heat from forest fires and volcanoes--just the sort of thing EO-1 likes to study. "We make MODIS data available to EO-1," says Chien, "so when Terra or Aqua see something interesting, EO-1 can respond."
This thing sounds like it can detect a fart from orbit!
What I want to know is if all this processing actually occurs onboard the sat, or if its a land based super computer brain? Are these machines by chance running Linux? or are they using another VX-Works OS?
For the first time every I really think it could be possible for us to build a beowolf cluster of linux running space fem-bots, all we need to do is sabotage the main dev tree (if(GPS.Height>'200miles')...)!
Slashdot Mirror
*prophecy
Its a self fulfilling profacy.
The email isn't working so you test it by sending 10 at a time?
Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiice, thats like noticing google is fucked and opening 10 browser windows at once.
So of fucking course they are having problems because all these "researchers" are hammering their systems 24/7.
No, you are having a premonition.
This is slashdot the article is sure to turn up in the near future.

Could this be used to decode and filter out the content on myspace and find intelligent life?

All that just for treating the PC like a console.

All it takes is one dereference and automatic conversion and the datatype is not what you expected.

This thread has amused me and I am reminded of an excellent site.
Its all about middle lane morons.
For the Americans reading, please use a mirror but otherwise it should make sense.
Thats like a weather forecast geared towards people who are already drenched.

But FFS I didn't need to see your face on a blog.
WTF are those glasses all about?
*off topic rant over* (someones gotta start it, might as well have a different angle to usual)
Back ontopic - if they are considering it like a weather model, just how many predictions end up in a whiteworld scenario?
Not quite, but they did manage to get a patent on the clickable touch sensitive nipple interface.

You could check the old fashioned way - slide off the back cover if an insect falls out you can be sure it is bugged.
But (as another poster also pointed out elsewhere) didn't Amazon do this years ago?

Year of the desktop? PAH! This year - the world!
Of course they can be compiled together.
Distributing that executable to the public is where the problems start...
