Does anyone know what the results are of the pesky problems they were having with onboard instruments duplicating the very readings they were trying to measure?
I'm thinking this mission is going to have serious problems. Some of which they already know about, but are unable to correct in time before the launch. Due to the momentum of politics no doubt.
Guess it will be a measure of mass in the end anyway. Just not the kind we should be getting for the price tag.
If you look on the web site, you'll see they have already contributed to the technology sector.

With the current state of our worlds mentality, being called a terrorist is a dangerous thing.
You can be arrested and not charged for 2 weeks!
(at least this is the case in Europe)
The bullshit that is going on right now is a like a virus going through the minds of anyone with power.
Remember the witch hunts of old?
Security Cracker = Heretic = Terrorism.

CSS for the LDP?

Thanks for those links. Fantastic example of the power of CSS.
Problems I have encountered with CSS: Fonts or lack thereof can change the layout. Some tags work differently in different browsers.
Solution: Use the most common fonts. Dumb down your tags and use the lowest common denominator.
It reads like this...
The head of the Galactic Federation (76 planets around larger stars visible from here) (founded 5,000,000 years ago, very space opera) solved overpopulation (250 billion or so per planet, 178 billion on average) by mass implanting. He caused people to be brought to Teegeeack (Earth) and put an H-Bomb on the principal volcanos (Incident II) and then the Pacific area ones were taken in boxes to Hawaii and the Atlantic area ones to Las Palmas and there "packaged".
Just like the Fisherman's Affidavit, really hard to digest and understandable to a select few.
I will admit I'm not speaking from any great experience on Java, that being said...
For those curious on how to disable Java: In IE, Goto: Tools, Internet Options, Security, Custom Level Under: Microsoft VM,Java Permissions Select: "Disable Java" Under: Scripting, Scripting of Java applets Select: "Disable"
It works for me, no Java runs unless I add a trusted site.

Granted this seems to only affect older browsers, its still safer to conclude that newer browsers may have a yet undiscovered flaw.
Scripting permissions make me nervous. In an time where the Internet is choked full of Trojans and Viruses, its better to be safe than sorry.
...especially if you don't code in Java. Even if it was open, I doubt I would choose it because like ActiveX, Java has the potential to be maliciously used by a host, reducing its audience IMO.
I wonder how many users have turned off scripting in their browsers? Java and ActiveX are not allowed on mine. Not much for tray icons in Windows also.
Does anyone have stats for Java enabled browser use?
LAMP seems to be the light to follow.
Rambling on... Sun has some great expensive hardware, however, the OS is ugly. Tried to setup Solaris 9 on x86 with little success. The install craps out after it places an invalid MBR on the drive. Ugly to clean. Although to Sun's credit, I've seen some great non-x86 hardware software combos.
Java aside, have to wonder if Sun's market share will wane in a world where the all mighty dollar is directing the show. I can do some amazing things with Linux on an x86.
HP makes bad equipment. Strike that. They make REALLY bad equipment.
Anyone who has had to work with that brand will know I'm not just making an empty statement. Not inclusive of the problems one runs into trying to find drivers for their products like scanners.
Its sad that I will now have to deal with the garbage they peddle on a Linux level.
Why can't they just stick to making expensive ink consuming printers?
And in the end, Chicken Little, Henny Penny, Ducky Lucky, Goosey Loosey, Turkey Lurkey, and Money Hungry...all were lead to the ICANN's den.

Interesting...did not know that.
One of the reasons I love poking around Slashdot.
This is a very serious issue that needs to be researched and concluded now.
Regardless of who owns what, there is definitely what I call "Root Wars" going on and its scary to say the least. And with money as the object of its rotation.
Whatever they use, its obvious that just like a Microsoft computer program, they have to streamline and simplify the process if they don't want to crash.
Thats what I was thinking when I looked at the Pac Man type game. If I'm going to pay that much for a video game, it better have a naked Lara Croft or something.
I thought, why not just bank my money and wait until they come out with a consumer version of the head gear I can hookup to any box.
They would *not* guarantee any results. A sure bet that gives them a license to steal my money. no Thanks.
If you have ADD or ADHD or just can't pay attention long enough, video games that feedback your brain waves have a value.

Wavepoint, here in Edmonton, AB Canada has gone beyond research and clinically uses the technology to help people with ADD, (Attention Deficit Disorder).
I was going to try it, but when I saw the $8000 price to play their video game, my ADD kicked in and I lost interest.

It says volumes about the current state of our system of teach and make money.
Never thought I would be seeing this kinda of thing for sale on the Internet.
It certainly is a testament to how fast technology has warped us into the future.

I tried Gentoo and was very please.
I'm going to try LFS next.
Beware of Sun Solaris 9 on dual boot systems.
It rewrote my Master Boot Record!
So much for Gentoo, all that compiling took just as long as my Micr$oft install.:-
SuSe is coming along.
FreeBSD has a great mascot, I'll need a pitch fork in the but to get around to trying it out.

Its actually running an algorithm on your data instead of some telescope packet.
Bastards!

I agree.
There will be ad saturation on a bigger scale.
Similar to the domain name infection, now our search engines are going to be lost in a monopoly of business posteruring.
Its all about control in the end.
Just incredible.
Very bad business ethics on the part of Micro$oft.
Makes me sick.
Our world really needs to grow up and stop being so fearfull.
