More important, I think, is that half an hour after touchdown the Cassini will be out of range, and thus it'll be impossible to send the data back to Earth, even if Huygens is still alive. So, no point trying to get the probe to live longer.
>Should robots eat? Should they excrete? Should robots be like us? Should we be like robots? Should we care?
After reading that I do ask myself, why should there be only one way to build and program robots? Why not have some robots that eat and other that don't? Why not have robots that are more like people and others that are nothink like them?

If you end up using OSS applications in your Windows machine, what's the incentive not to migrate to Linux? Sooner or later you'll have to upgrade or change the OS. At that point, you can pay Microsoft a tax, or just install Linux, which will be free (gratis and libre) and able to run all your apps. And then it will matter, because the issue won't be if you like one interface or another, but hard, cold cash.

Unfortunately for you, I follow the road rules. And about bouncing, you sure would. There's this thing called "conservation of momentum", what you should be wondering is where you'll land.

At last! I've been chasing after these with my Dodge Caravan in Spain for years, waiting for one to ignore a "Yield" or "Stop" sign to ram it and reduce it to smithereens. But alas, few people drive big enough cars here.
Now that they're sold in the US we're bound to see some gruesome fatalities as they embed themselves under the tires of the ubiquitous SUVs and Hummers.
Finally people will realize the sorry excuse for a car this shit is!
If you're looking for mileage take a look at what Audi or Volkswagen have to offer. You can get easily 40 mpg without looking like a circus clown accessory.
>Don't put down any roots or try to make friends or anything.
My father has had us (as in all the family) trotting around the world since I was 3. Lybia, Italy, Venezuela, Colombia, Argentina, Brazil, and of course several parts of Spain.
My parents seem to have developed a nice social life and don't seem to lack friends. As for a family, well, here I am (along with my siblings).
Check the CD, if it has a shiny Windows Logo on the back, chances are it's legal. If, instead, it says something like "Verbatim" or "TDK" there's a good chance it's an illegal copy.
If people can purchase everything they want in a month and be done with the system for a long time you have failed producing new and interesting content on a regular basis. If people can wait for a year to buy their music, that music wasn't very good in the first place.
You're arguing about the guy who (like me, actually, except that I don't buy music anymore, I go for games instead) goes from time to time to the music shop and checks what's on the bargain bin because you're not too bothered with the latest and greatest. That's fine, but where the real market is is with the fans/enthusiasts of the bands who pay 20+ bucks a piece for the shiny new CD.
So yeah, I can see why the RIAA wouldn't want to do that. They'd actually have to create quality content for the service to keep people paying their monthly fees.

We can see some interesting trends, namely the little change for IE 6.0 but the interesting increase of Mozilla. So is Firefox eating away at IE or rather taking the small marketshare of people who already look for alternatives to IE? (Yeah, I know, this is so little data it's not representative of anything, just a curiosity:P )

Yes, but 640k docs should be enough for everyone...

Simple, if you are using the public road for your business without paying a dime for it, don't be surprised if people don't respect your business.
No, because cars with a license plate regularly pay a road tax. Without it your car cannot be on the public roads.

Open Source on Windows - Boon or Bane for Linux?
Hence why I have been referring to Linux migration.
If you end up using OSS applications in your Windows machine, what's the incentive not to migrate to Linux? Sooner or later you'll have to upgrade or change the OS. At that point, you can pay Microsoft a tax, or just install Linux, which will be free (gratis and libre) and able to run all your apps. And then it will matter, because the issue won't be if you like one interface or another, but hard, cold cash.
Something along the lines of "a careful audit of the Linux Kernel found nearly 1,000 bugs, whereas Windows XP has only had to release , proving our software is more robust and has less bugs to fix".
In Korea only old people speak Swahili...
They *chose* to buy a house, *knowing* the risk of people breaking in and stealing things.
They *chose* to fill that house with expensive items.
They *chose* not to place a triple-lock steel reinforced door, bullet proof windows and bars.
They *chose* not to get a burglar alarm.
They *chose* to leave the house there like a sitting duck and go on vacation for a week, just waiting for someone to come along and steal their stuff.
