Ah, never mind. More than a few posts have discussed this already. Teach me to post before reading all the other posts. (Yeah, right...) Thanks, anyways. *cragen
I read, in one of the related articles, that the reason for the Rover will only be able to operate for ~90-days is that the Martian winter will reduce the available sunlight to the solar panels, etc. Is there any plan or possibility for the Rover being able to "re-animate" when the Martian sunlight becomes more available in its next spring/summer? Thanks, *cragen?
Well, that voice-over bit was done by the studio AFTER Ridley Scott finished the movie, and, it is said, he was very unhappy about that. (I liked it, actually, but I have no taste, anyway.) In the "recent" director's cut DVD of Blade Runner, there supposedly was no voice-over. I never bought that as I really, really liked the "original" just the way it was.
Wusage is $25 for a single server, $75 for 5 domains, & $275 - unlimited. I think it's the best you can get -- available for all web servers and OS's, I think. I used it for years back when I was web-mastering. Have fun,
Sounds possible. Um, do you (or any one else) have any evidence or proof of a "habitable zone"? If not, please change the word "definitely" to "possibly". I will even allow "probably", but no, no, no, to "definitely". I do hope you are back on track, now.:)
Unless, of course, you actually work at a university. Then, minimum wage will be OK, apparently. Then, again, my last professor, if it's earning minimum wage, may BE overpaid.
OK, troll me, but all I see is rocks to the left, rocks to the right, and rocks in the front. I think it's great that "we" want to explore the wonders of our solar system. However, I think all government projects should subject to a ROI analysis that's at least as rigorous as the ones DARPA uses to select project funding. I think the Mars projects would not pass that test. End troll.
What for? Ok, I realize the Universe does not end at my network connection. I really have little need for more speed, but, obviously, someone does. Who, please? Doing what? With what goal in mind? Seriously. (It would be interesting to know what the big dogs do or want to be able to do.)
Thanks,
Just curious. How do you make a living? Getting paid by some greedy capitalist or charging other people for doing something, I bet. I'd mod you down, but it's more fun replying. Happy New Year to you, too, sir.
Yes, CS100 taught us much about the proper way of doing things, [rant] unless, of course, you went to my school, where the CS200 and CS300 projects used none of the code from the required books, none of the ideas of encapsulation or code re-use, & little of the algorithms actually introduced by the books. You see, all the projects were written by TA's (a group of grad students whose level of TEACHING ability ran from excellent to atrocious), and very little of the code in the project or the student submission was actually viewed by the professor. The phrase "mailing it in" would have been too good for the bums "teaching" our CS courses. We pretty much had to teach ourselves the essence of CS, hoping to someday get to the level of prof. that actually "taught" a course. [/end rant]. Nobody said this was easy stuff. Happy New Year to all.
On what grounds were you labeled a major security risk? Publish them here, please. Verbatim. We don't know a thing about you, your company, vendor, etc. It is possible you WERE a major security risk. I do not think we should assume innocence or guilt until we have seen something in "writing". We have not seen any of that, yet. I think everyone should hold off any assumptions either way until more info is brought to the table.
I agree, but I look forward to having less people in the field that do not truly love the labor of producing and managing the thing. The best have never been "fittest", so far.
That/. needs a pre-posting mod area. Those stories that get modded up to some magic number go onto Home Page Glory, and the rest are history. When will we learn? What?
I am a "Top-Down" learner. I was able to learn HTML in nothing flat cuz I knew or could see what was I was trying to do. C++, on the other hand, had to be drilled into my head by a prof. over 3 semesters cuz I never got a feel, even yet, for what the heck I am trying to do with it in the real world. (I have yet to use it at work. I look forward to the day.)
I am now trying to learn Perl (for work) and most sources, again, teach it bottom-up [This is a $calar. This is an @rray.] I wish they would start with [This is how to get perl use a form to ask for a password, submit the form and check the userid/password in a database, return something, and generate the next page, depending on whatever]. I know I gotta understand the foundation but I also have to generate product. I wish I could find somewhere that the two ways of teaching merge so I can generate good stuff AND, eventually, (gasp! maybe by explaining in short phrases even I can get) understand the underpinnings. It's good to have a goal.
1. Ask me how much I care about anything having to do with HAMS? nada, zilch.
2. This is HAMs in FEMA trying to protect their little toys. Back to reality, boys. Ask FEMA how many times do they use FNARS, for what, and at what data rate? (Usually voice.) Rarely. Data is all at T-1 or better these days. Ask for actual emergency usage data. If you can get it.
Now. Ask them how much it cost them to make their little 10,000W per XMTR base station network in the name of surviving a nuclear attack from the Ruskeys? (That's the sound of silence you hear...)
FNARS is the biggest and most expensive boon-doggle that COOP security fanatics idea ever conceived, which included the Ollie and all his ilk . Same bunch that thought the 5-star Greenbriar hotel, 4 hours from DC, was the ideal "hole in the ground" for Congress in case of WWIII. Never mind that it was so far away that Congress would've had no chance to get there!
Somebody ask FEMA for all relevant data about FNARS and enjoy the watching the doors slam shut. Hams, indeed.
You know you have a geek for a wife (and I do) when you used the word that sounds like "Lennox" and the first word that comes to her mind has nothing to do with china place settings.
Happy Holidays to all, *cragen.
When I think of open, I think of "FREE". Are they giving the hardware away? No, I know. I am just being picky, but that's the way I think. I think.

Just wondering. Besides "I Love Lucy", "Survivor MMCI", and "American Bandstand", are WE sending any sort of such signal? I don't know of any. (I could be just ignorant of such (or even in general), but just how would we go about doing something like that? Seriously.
*cragen
ooh, ooh, just remembered "Macroscrope", good book on similar premise. Who wrote that? Blish?
Actually (if they're anything like us), they won't figure it out until after many years of the UHF front has already passed them. And then they'll have to send out some FTL ship to try to get the first 50-100 seasons of "American Bandstand". (That IS still on, isn't it?)
Just a thought,
*cragen
ps. Wouldn't it really be a slew of Channels 2-13 from every nation with TV transmitters? Probably a mess, really. Now THAT could make 'em pretty angry. Probably the cause of our first alien invasion...
