  1. Re:Funding, funding, funding, HO! on Bush's Space Panel Seeks Public Input · · Score: 1

    or just make sending someone to mars a military plan. You know there wouldnt need to be much work if you just strapped a couple of astronauts to an ICBM and sent it to the moon.

  2. Re:Sounds like a bad idea... on Bush's Space Panel Seeks Public Input · · Score: 2, Funny

    Im sure the general public would understand. I mean its not rocket science... oh wait

  3. Hey why not go to mars on Bush's Space Panel Seeks Public Input · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I mean, we can barely keep the ISS running, and our current space program is hurting significantly. So when my back is against a wall like that, i think i too would come out with crazy plans like this.
    Not to mention the costs that it would have, NASA budget doubled for like 5 years when the appolo missions were going on.

    Dont get me wrong I am not anti-NASA, I am just anti-mars right now. We could use that money for more important things.

    hehe we posted the same thing at the same time

  5. CNN article on Spirit Sends Debug Information to Earth · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Cnn has an article on some updates. Apparently the engineers been having all sorts of fun with the thing here a quick excert. "Cautioning that they will need more time to understand what went wrong, project engineers said they have determined that Spirit has rebooted or tried to reboot itself more than 60 times a day since the failure."

  6. Re:so on DVD CCA Drops Case; DeCSS Not a Trade Secret · · Score: 1

    ah but anything that reads the DVD would be defeating copy-protection to open the DVD and play it on your home entertainment system would be defeating it. Because it is in the public domain they cant license out the rights for decrytption

  7. so on DVD CCA Drops Case; DeCSS Not a Trade Secret · · Score: 4, Interesting

    does that basically kill thier argument about anything that copies DVD because if it is public knowledge anyone can do what they want

  8. Re:Opportunity on Spirit Rover Communications Error · · Score: 2, Insightful

    pity, NASA really needs a success that this mission was turning into. They cant afford another big failure (granted this is only part of the mission and the sister rover is scheduled to land soon) but its a black eye to an already bruised image.

  9. Mars Defense System on Spirit Rover Communications Error · · Score: 3, Funny

    chalk another one up for the mars defense system.

  10. Re:Good on Star Trek: Enterprise in Danger of Being Cancelled · · Score: 1

  13. question on Bell Labs Demos Cell Phone Location Software · · Score: 2, Interesting

    its illegal to call a telemarketer to call a cell phone, so couldnt it be argued that this is illegal too?

  15. connection with IPO on Google Eyes New Email Service, Expansion · · Score: 1, Redundant

    wonder if they are planning on making any of these announcements around the same time they hit the stock market. Might just make them even more money.

  19. Wish for more data on Internet Use Grows to 69 Percent of US Adults · · Score: 1

    I wish there was more data in that article so one could analyze it and find trends, so the precentage of people with high speed intertnet has grown 15% in 2 years. is that a linear growth, and exponential growth. Is that trend going to continue or level out.

    Lot more could be done if you had a more info

  20. Re:This *is* possible... on Can P2P Filter Copyrighted Content? · · Score: 1

    well granted the software could scan the music files for know markers, but the thing is it would take lots o resources to do that, and we already saw what happened when Adobe tried this.

  21. Re:Crew suggestions on One-Way Ticket to Mars? · · Score: 1

    could we also do a hack into the navigational system to send it to the sun. I dont think even the aliens on mars deserve such a fate
