I believe the original poster is mistaken, or I'm not seeing it. The little square images are parts of the mosaic which comprise the panorama. They are NOT taken with the stereo camera as far as I can tell.
Tell that to the car manufacturers. Tell that to toilet paper makers. Tell that to punk rockers. The point is that you're doing something *better* than is being done. You have the extra quality that your competition does not. I make my own white boxes and sell to people. I sell only one per week, but considering I have no storefront, not website, and nothing one would expect of a computer company except a dedication to quality and excellent customer support, it isn't too bad. Looks like you fall in the "I'll say how similar everything is so I don't do jack squat" category.
These are the real pictures: First Pictures. It should be noted that these are black and white and not color or false color, as the submitter may lead some to believe, to that magazine's tweaking of the original.
Ugh. It is the users' fault, so don't pin Microsoft for it. The blaster virus had a patch many weeks in advance. Users didn't update. Uh oh, let's blame Microsoft for it! Let's also blame Microsoft for spywares and virii! Let's blame Microsoft that users have the auto-open feature turend on Outlook. You guys make me sick, you Linux-fucking idiots.
Repair #6 -- summary: Had to load motherboard-specific XP drivers on kids' machine -- time spent: 4 hours
Repair #21 -- summary: Time Warner Internet blackout -- time spent: 30 minutes (blackout lasted 8 hours)
It should be noted that not all of the time offs are due to Windows XP, as certain other anti-MS posters will attest, but but factors out of the users' control and also the users' stupidity. I would like to see how much time one spends every months getting Linux to function.:D
Oh no, I never said I was averse to any such machines or plans, but that they are indeed inevitable, and to believe that these will somehow only be used in the peaceful domain is naive.
Nothing more profound? Hah! You're joking yourself if you think the military will not find some devious use for some or all of the technology. They're basically investing a million dollars to find the technology which will otherwise cost them many times more to research and fund and which will one day be incorporated in one way or another into machines that kill, such as autonomous tanks.
Michelangelo WAS able to sell his works. Are you forgetting David? Are you forgetting the Sistine Chapel? The Laurentian Library? The Medici Tombs? The Last Judgment? If anything, he was very successful. Leave it to pretentious geeks to spew out bullshit on the bullshit capital of the Net: Slashdot.
Why'd you have to post as an anonymous coward, moron? I stand by what I said. If you find any use in the articles which are mediocre at best, then knock yourself out, but at least be man enough to reply with your real user name.
What happens when they outgrow their new setup? They are probably growing at a near-exponential rate, but since the owner wasn't so kind as to include any kind of information regarding server demands, we don't know. At that rate, they are sure to need another bail-out in a year or so. I have tried to use Wikipedia, but didn't find any value in any of its articles. Most of them were poorly copied from existing websites without crediting them and many of them were uninformed and horribly biased. The idea is a good one, but letting every single nut edit articles is not a good idea. I would donate if that was the whole story, but the fact that the owner chose not to even present the proposed items he wished to buy and upgrade, I feel there is a big loophole, thus, I will not be donating.
You're not being funny. For one thing, the Odyssey is designed to operate in a certain manner and in certain frequencies. Furthermore, the signal could be too weak to pick up here on Earth, so your smart ass comment is pretty ridiculous.
That said let's face facts, Beagle 2 is dead
WTF are you talking about? We don't know for a "fact" that the Beagle is dead. As I said in my post, it was only designed to work with Mars express and not with Odyssey or Earth-based radio telescopes. Get it?
The Beagle is supposed to land and unfurl automatically, IIRC, and so charging is part of its self-maintenance. It needs contact with Earth to begin the experiments.
You guys must realize that neither the Odyssey nor Earth-based radio telescopes were tested with the Beagle 2. Only the Mars Express orbiter was specifically designed and tested to communicate with the lander.
This isn't about coal fire vs. nuclear power: you're way off. This is about the risk involved with using nuclear, radioactive materials in a rocket. As I said before, you do not want radioactive particles flying all around the globe via high winds. You can believe what you want, but that would be a problem that even an idiot could understand.

Yes, they did. E-Machines was indeed a surprise entry, though.

Look at some of the numbers:
:D
Repair #1 -- summary: Mom's printer driver -- time spent: 1 hour
Repair #6 -- summary: Had to load motherboard-specific XP drivers on kids' machine -- time spent: 4 hours
Repair #21 -- summary: Time Warner Internet blackout -- time spent: 30 minutes (blackout lasted 8 hours)

So far it's not working out. ;-)

It happens from time to time. Who cares who submits it? Just enjoy the discussion. :)

His bad music wasn't enough. Apparently, he wants to get every single person on Earth to hate him with this poor attempt at sarcasm.
...before someone points out the obvious, it's supposed to be politicians and not politician's. Ah, the curse of sleeplessness.
Yeah, and who thought they were stupid enought to put themselves equally under the law? They are politician's, for god's sake.

The bastard refused to sign my jacket at a science competition in high school. Bill Nye the Jerk-off Guy! *angry*
The sundial project is old news and has been mentioned previously on Slashdot.
