  1. Re:Huh? on FCC Report - TV Violence Should be Regulated · · Score: 1

    As a matter of fact, yes, but that was with permission and before the current eternal lockdown attitude. Things were looser in the `80s. Still, this doesn't take from the point. If you're not of the opinion that the government, and its military, is working for you, then you are allowing them to freely work for themselves.

  2. Re:Americans and Sex on FCC Report - TV Violence Should be Regulated · · Score: 1

    Not that it's a good thing, but violence in humans is most definitely normal, across cultures and throughout history.

  3. Re:A great movie that explores this idea... on FCC Report - TV Violence Should be Regulated · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Except that the equipment doesn't belong to the military, it belongs to us.

  4. Re:Neat indeed on Another Millenium Problem May Have Been Solved · · Score: 1

    I'd say that this can be considered a 4D generalization of complex analysis, if true. In that case, it could go far beyond applied math into Relativity.

  5. Re:Does that look organized to anyone else? on Mars Landers - Opportunity, Bedrock, Aerosmith? · · Score: 1

    I've been keeping tabs on an ongoing archaeological dig in Luxor, Egypt and the odd thoughts HAVE crossed my mind...

  6. Re:Message from Opportunity...just in (1 of 5040) on Mars Landers - Opportunity, Bedrock, Aerosmith? · · Score: 3, Funny

    I think the body of the message has been translated as "Rocks, dust, and no chicks? This place is boring as hell. Who fed me that last drink? Somebody get me the f%@& out of here!

  7. Re:Monolith Fun on A First Look At Meridiani Planum · · Score: 1

    No man, that thing isn't finished doing its latest US tour-last seen at the Burning Man and rumored to be causing bonethumping riots at Democratic debates.

  8. Re:QuickTime VR on A First Look At Meridiani Planum · · Score: 1

    Gorgeous! I'm not that knowledgible about the tech details, but for me it's like being in on the private chats of JPL. Your QTVR really shows up the fact that the bag impressions are on two sides of the lander implying that it juggled back-and-forth a little before coming to rest.

  9. Re:Using the images on A First Look At Meridiani Planum · · Score: 1

    I've got to say, considering the oppressive nature of governmental red tape and other beaurocratic crappola I find this rather refreshing.

  10. Re:Not exactly first look @ Meridiani on A First Look At Meridiani Planum · · Score: 1

    It's my understanding that these are ancient lava flows coming out of near-surface magma pools.

  11. Re:Mars is conquered, almost on Homing In On Opportunity From Orbit · · Score: 1

    Although it may be possible to blow up a balloon and float around in the mid-level atmosphere.

  12. Re:Images and Excitement on Mars Rover Opportunity Lands Safely · · Score: 1

    Better and better! Today's download showing the descent photos from MER-B show that at least it landed 'close' to a large crater and that this may in fact be the origin of the bedrock outcropping now seen in greater detail.
