The PDS ( http://pds.jpl.nasa.gov/ ) "archives and distributes scientific data from NASA planetary missions..." You can download data from many past missions from the PDS.
I second these comments. I have a 2000 Insight (manual transmission) and I have averaged 62 mpg. I've been doing better lately since I've been doing more highway driving and my foot doesn't have as much lead as it used to.
Stay as far away from Promise as you can. Their support is by far the worst I have seen. We paid about $10000 for a Promise RAID solution about 2.5 years ago (UltraTrak100 TX8). Lately we had problems with it. They said, "We only support up to Redhat 6.2. Sorry!"
I expect better customer service after paying that much.
On the other hand, we have used 3ware for several different IDE RAIDs. Not only are they the only ones to have kernel support for **HARDWARE** IDE RAID, their support so far has been top notch.

That's just plain wrong. First, it uses the gas engine on the highway (as well as the city most of the time) so range is not a factor. Second, I have an Insight and I drive 90+ miles a day on the highway. Typically, drive around 60-65mph, but occasionaly get up to 75-80mph. So far the top speed I have gotten it to is 105mph.
Unless you have actually driven the car, please don't make assumptions about it. It's not your average car!:)
I actually got rear-ended about 10 days after I got mine. Luckily it was very minor damage. I haven't had it fixed yet, but you can barely even see it.
I heard of one guy who had his insight totalled like a week after he bought it. He got hit by a Caddy.
Also, are you on the egroups.com insight mailing list?
Well, first of all, here in Chicago, gas is about $1.65 (although I haven't checked the prices in the past few days).
The main reason I bought it was for the environment. It uses MUCH less gas and it puts out FAR fewer emmisions than most other cars.
That was my main reason.
I also liked the "geek value". I like having cutting edge toys.
Yes, it is more complex, but Honda is a fantastic car company, that builds fantastic products. I plan on keeping it for a very long time (even after I get a fuel cell... if they ever make em).
I was planning on spending between $15000 and $20000 for a new car anyways, so the price didn't affect my decision to buy it.
I don't expect everyone to go rush out and buy a hybrid. I just want people to clear up many of the misconceptions people have about the car.
But I drive 500 miles a week, and I'd rather get 70+mpg with my car. Plus as a bonus, it's an Ultra Low Emmisions Vehicle. I wouldn't trade my Insight for any other car. It is quite dandy.:)
I own an Insight, and I can tell you it's not as slow as you may think. I was kinda worried about that before I bought the car, but after test driving it, I quickly realized it's about as quick as a regular 4-banger. Try test driving one (if you can get your hands on one). I think you'll be plesantly surprised (as long as you don't expect a Ferrari out of it.:)
I bought one back in April. I can get over 80mpg on the highway (at about 60-65mph). City driving is another story. I don't drive to much in the city, but here in Chicago I "only" get 50mpg, not the 61 they claim. I'm certainly not complaining, but I wouldn't mind getting 60+ mpg in the city.
Since I drive over 500 miles a week, I thought this would be the best choice for a new vehicle.:)
Acually they increased that number to 6500 and only about 1200 have sold so far. They rest on either on their way to the States, or have even been built yet.
It's a great car too. I have one and I drive about 500 miles a week. I have saved soooo much money on gas. It's the best car I've ever owned.
What I care about deeply is atrocities against human rights. The country it happens in has no bearing on how awful the crime is. The only thing that defines how awful it is, is the crime being committed.
I just want to bring it to the attention of the/. readers. If more people know about what's going on , change will (hopefully) come quicker.
I really didn't mean to imply that the country has nothing to offer because of this. I realize that's the way it sounded and I apologize for it sounding that way, but this is something that I care about deeply.
I'm sorry if I sounded like I was making the US to be a shining example, because I realize we are not. I also realize there are probably 0 countries which are shining examples. But they are arguably the country with the worst track record today.

Well LRO is the first phase of RLEP, the Robotic Lunar Exploration Program. The next phase after LRO (IIRC) is a robotic lander.

Yup, all of the images will be released into the public domain.
The MDIS camera has autofocus and 12 filters
Nope, the only color sequences were during the departure. There are tons of images during approach.
How about a version of Firefox and Thunderbird that compiles/runs on Redhat 7.3?
I second these comments.

I just saw a new package in debian called dia2sql. You may want to check that out...
what will this do?
@home users can still infect other @home users, along with the rest of the net.
I have the Insight and my 6'8" friend fits in it. Maybe not comfortably enough for a long trip, but he gets by just fine.
Insight acceleration is about 10 seconds 0-60.

Wow! I'm glad you're ok.
How much was the estimate on the damage?

yeah, it's a little slower than a Mustang. :)

Actually, CR doesn't know how to drive the car.
I have the Honda Insight, and it gets 80+mpg on the highway.
If you already own the cd why would you waste time looking for mp3s to download instead of ripping them yourself?
Most of my Metallica cd's are scratched to hell, so I can't rip mine. This is legal use, correct?

true there are good things that come out of China and of the US certainly is not perfect either, but China arguably has the worst track record.
For the record, I do not agree with many of our (the US) foreign policies.
but how is your aloof comment going to help?

The only thing I am interested about in China is how they violate the basic human rights of it's citizens and neighboring countries (ie, Tibet).
