I like that product best with its graphs and traffic maps. Although it would be nice to have some more sophisticated software in tune with hardware like routers and switches.
Development on these types of software seems to have gone stagnant.
You'd think with all the crap on the net, there would be some really good tools.
Is Google spreading itself thin in an attempt to provide everything about information?
Taking on email is going to be a monster.
No doubt they have the cream of the crop to sort it out, however, its still going to be a challange.
For example, spammers will forge emails with a google domain name even if they don't have an account there. Its going to be interesting to watch and possibly entertaining.
All the power to them. BUT if the current services faulter, they should give it up.
Too bad Microsoft is paying for settling on something that most will never use or never need to care about. Even as a developer, why would you pay for a technology that does *not* work?
...if you want a free consistent testing of your email service.
Seriously, I have found and fixed problems quicker with my email service because I was *not* getting any Spam.
Regardless, Spam is certainly here to stay just like mosquitoes.
So buy some Off and start spraying!
I use a relay trap, adaptive filter with a simple keyword, 4 virus checking programs updating on the hour and whitelist the full email address of critical communicators to bring my Spam problems to a trickle. Even that trickle has of late been next to zero as I adapt to any new technique.
The above system does require vigilance but pays off with Job Security.
Keep the spam a coming. Can't leave em? Than love em!
Funny thing is, McAfee and Norton on Windows is a bad stack. After install you have a broken OS. Expect your computer to crawl like a baby and/or crash often.
Actually, it would be better to do without said crapware and enjoy better performance with your spyware/virus.
Hmmm...wonder what the rocket payload is capable of?
You could bundle the rover seperately and then use its onboard cameras to monitor Bepi during the voyage. Although you'd have to share the shielding or make another umbrella.
The information would be far far more valuable with a rover.
The landing should be no more difficult than the moon landing.
Hey, I just figured something.
Could you not deploy a big solar wind grabbing parasail to do the braking? This would greatly save on propellants.
Interesting, was not aware of the BEPICOLOMBO project setting sail in 2012. It has time to reactivate the rover deal. They should include the already proven Mars rover technology. Although, with little atmosphere its probably going to need different braking tactics.
Since the night and day sides both get exposure to the Sun over a the year, I would imagine there to be no difference in samples, but you never know. http://sci.esa.int/science-e/www/object/ind ex.cfm? fobjectid=31273
A core sample would be interesting to reveal information about layering.
Someone on this thread mentioned gravity wells being the best place to get samples. Have to agree.
Mercury probably has a rich resource of different elements and molecules collected from the Sun, Comets, and whatever else it sweeps up at the bottom of our well like a big ball of Aerogel.
Actually, the sunrise and settings last over many months. So it would be boring to watch unless you time lapsed it.
Further, with such a slow procession, there would be no need to worry about getting caught in the sun. Mapping would take place with the current messanger anyway.
As for overheating, just give the thing 20 Kapton Umbrellas.:-)
Here is a short movie I created in StaryNight Pro to give a good visualization of a sun rise and set:
Mercury must have some interesting elements collected from solar winds.
A good landing site would be on the dark side obviously to avoid overheating. However, if I remember correctly, Mercury also sports the coldest temps in the solar system due to its rapid evaporation. Kind of like the cooling effect one gets when a wind blows on wet skin. But I somehow doubt those rumors with it being so close to the sun.
So how about playing on the transitional areas of light and dark areas. This planet was thought to be like our moon in that the same face points towards the Sun, leaving a perpetual dark and light side. However, it was shown to have a strange rotation of three rotations every two of its years.
What I would like to see from a rover is a video showing the sunsets and sunrises.
Its suppose to be really bizarre. The sun rises and picks up speed as it grows in size! Then it pauses at the top and reverses the process.
If they did find ice water on the planet, do you think huddling some poor humans in a crater there would be beneficial or sacrificial?

Slashdot Mirror
You should stop listening to those fish and take a buffered anagestic. :->
Its always good for future missions if the current ones exceed expectations.
Looking at Mars, now a distant orange glow in the sky, it amazes me that we have intelligence there.
Good job NASA.
"Multiple kocks" :->
Sounds like something for Bangedup.com
Come on now.
A hacker isn't going to give a w00t about geographic limitations.
Especially with all that wireless information floating around from gracious war driver/flyers.
Who's there?
Just a bunch of hackers knocking with sequences they captured from sniffing.

Help!
I think we all know what the hacker will write. :->

LOL!

That is soooooo funny.
Thanks for that link.
Now I know why I stopped playing D&D.
I grew pubic hair and wanted to be at the bar for real.

Thats how you change the world.
Worked well for Microsoft.
Thats what I already do for browsing.
It makes only sense to block scripts, html, img scr, and anything that is *not* pure text in emails.
Anti-piracy technology?
What is that exactly?
Too bad Microsoft is paying for settling on something that most will never use or never need to care about.

AMEN!!!

And I am one of those little guys!
Trying to communicate an email to my family about complications with my unborn son.
BLOCKED
Thanks BLers!
And they won't even whitelist me after repeated pleas to do so!
Blacklisters that block legit email should be brought down like SCO. They are worse than spammers!
Further, why should I have to pay for a static IP when I have the knowledge to save a buck and run my server on a dynamic?
Slashdot rejected my article outlining this very problem. AND its a big problem!
Regardless, I want more light shed on this topic.
It needs a fixin'!
...probably a line in most virus payloads.

Well it is baking in the sun stripping rays enough to be exposed for a cyclic 2 earth months.
Thats got to change the nature of things.
Hmmmm...
How about deploying a reflective blanket onto the surface or in orbit if you can keep it there?
Then we could bounce lasers off it and use it to keep a probe protected like a bug under the rug.

more musing.
True, however, that cycle happens 3 times every two years because it rotates around its axis very slowly.

Mercurian Year: about 90 Earth Days.
So its one hell of a long night. (about 2 Earth months)
Great for partys though!
Imagine the money Rave clubs would pull in.

No god dam way!!!
I don't ever want to see this company anywhere but bankrupt!.
Please oh oh please don't let the stupid ones screw it up!
Interesting and informative article.
Sounds like the ionosphere is alive.
ionosphere ( ane sfir)
n.
the outer part of the earth's atmosphere, beginning at an altitude of c. 55 km (c. 34 mi.) and extending to the highest parts of the atmosphere: it contains several regions that consist of a series of constantly changing layers characterized by an appreciable electron and ion content: see D region, E region, F region
ionospheric
adj.
Etymology
[ ion + -o- + sphere]
It would be interesting to hear the northern lights.

If I whistle through the receiver we should get one hell of a show!
