Just like the useless commercials that are displayed on the RDS screens? Here in KC, MO there's a radio station that actually uses RDS to display song title and artist.
Indeed. But who knows what kind of monstrous compression algorithms they're using. I read that we're still receiving data from Voyager 1. I couldn't find any data on the transmission speed, but considering it's 8.4 billion miles out, signals taking 10 hours to reach it, and this time increasing by 30 minutes each year. It's estimated that the fule supply will run out around the year 2020.
It didn't actually pass THROUGH the rings, but more behind them. Still, while going through the ring plane, they had to orient the craft in a way that would minimize any potential damage from possible collisions with particles. Also, it was said that the cameras couldn't be used while the engine was firing.
I HATE it that the SUBMIT and PREVIEW buttons are so darn close - especially that early in the morning, with no more coffee in the bloodstream than you get from a pot of double-barrel. Acknowledged, and apologies for that mistake...
I read an article that called for "No Plutonium in Space!". I hate to rain on their parade, but there's plenty of it out there already... Cue tinfoil hats.
Oh and by the way, the fact that your post was prior to all the other is beside the point. *inserts foot in mouth, egg on face etc etc* I can only claim lack of caffeine. Or excitement over Cassini-Huygens or something. Sorry.
When I did my driving test in Sweden back in the year 1991 AD, it was also part of the mandatory training, but on the test it was up to the testers' mood/whim to test you on it. My exam took about 20 minutes of very easy driving. A friend of mine was grilled for 40 minutes - and yes, we both passed on the first try.
Or my personal pet peeve, the idiots who think signals are optional...
...or the morons who start changing lanes, then signal once, as if to say "Oh yeah, in case you missed it - I just changed lanes...".
And yes, I was borned and raised in Sweden, but have been living in the Midwest since '97.
Yes, maybe so, but this is cool in an entirely different way. This is LINUX! I wonder if there will be a sourcefourge project for the above mentioned parkd. Now if the demo videos had only been of the S60R (semi-cheesy flash overload alert)...
How many have used the SIT-tones to deter autmated/prerecorded phone-spam? I am seriously considering recording those three tones first on my answering machine. I know that's all those tele-zappers are - a device that generates those three tones at specific frequencies.
While that may be a controversial statement, it's basically what the early space (and pre space) program partakers had to face - possibility of death. As it has been said - Gus Grissom, Ed White and Roger Chaffee were sorely missed after the Apollo I catostrophe, but their deaths were not in vain, since advancements were made in the aftermath - and while their comrades mourned, it was a risk they were willing to take to further mankind.
Considering, I think it would me more appropriate for the actual people taking the risk to say that they are willing to.
...it is all the same digital signal, not marginal quality.
Amen. It's just like the discussion that took place some years ago about what digital audio connection was better - coax or TOSlink. I cry bovine droppings.
No no no...just power the machine down, unplug the keyboard, rinse it out real good with warm water (a MUST with non-diet soda, since the sugar gets sticky real fast), set it up to dry (preferably leaning up against something, so all excess water runs off the PCB) overnight, or if you're in a dry, varm environment, a few hours. Good as new!

Is it time we seriously start to ponder The Prime Directive?
Oh that was G ring. No wonder, I thought you said string first...
How about a VINv6?

Yes, but that isn't (as the article says) - "the closest to the gas giant the probe will ever be during its planned 4-year mission".

Bandwidth it supposed to be roughly 1900 kbps. And that's b, not B.
I like DarkHorse Comics. Aliens vs. Superman rocks.
The other main cause being religion.

Geez, look around a little before posting things like this, wouldya? *sigh*

While speaking of movies and underwater drilling - The Abyss, anyone?
Chuckle.

Laika kind of commanded a space ship. Kind of.

And the NASA effort isn't one based on lowest bidders?
(c) Profit!
