Ahh. The only way to play it. (well, not the one sitting part.). 3 in the morning, all dark, headphones, alone in the whole house, all windows open, door in my back open. Then i fell through a broken glassplate right in the middle of a bunch of eggs plopping open. (Leave our babies alone...).
Then i HAD to stop. Looked in every room in the house to make sure nothings there.:) My heart...
then integrate the whole thing into Orbiter. this would be incredible. not just simulating the whole spacecraft in such detail, but actually doing the whole flight.
i wasnt my fault. i they tell me to stir the tanks, i stir the tanks.
some of the "moon hoaxers" think thats why they could never get to the moon at all. "though much faster, my pentium can barely run [insert 3d shooter here] at good FPS. how could it fly to the moon? so they never did."
In other news, NASA, in cooperation with the IBBA (International Beer Brewing Association [no link]), has announced an extensive mission, as early as 2010, to determine the usability of recently discovered martian water for on-site brewing. "this will greatly influence our decision to go there in the first place", spokesman says.
The scientist, that claimed the Viking Probes showed signs of microbial life, now has a new theory. He seems to see signs of water on recent Rover images, squished out by the wheels and the RAT tool.
Even if there is/ever was no life, interesting find though, that liquid water exists on such a world. I think this raises the odds of finding life somewhere else quit a bit. Maybe Europa?
i think i once read, that Mars was the "target with highest failure rate".
so this is a pretty good performance, with the two rovers still working (after doubling their designed lifetime?), Mars Odyssey, MSGS and Mars Express. and the biggest objective a huge success: yes there is/was water.
no need to argue about the use of robotic missions for me. if you asked someone 10 years ago about water on mars: "yeah. water. mars. sure...":)
Located at only 0.09 AUs from the star (less than one fourth of Mercury's orbital distance in the Solar System), the planet competes an orbit in less than 9.55 +/- 0.03 days and may have a surface temperature of 1,160 Fahrenheit (or 900 Kevin). The astronomers believe that under the most likely planetary developmental scenario of inner migration from around 3 AUs under the influence of outer giant planet "b" now at 1.5 AUs, this planet is likely to have an "essentially rocky core" with an atmosphere of five to 10 percent of its total mass.

:) My heart ...

theres a nice FAQ on TTLG to get it working, if you havent tried this already.
:)
With the VDMSOUND thingy, i got it running with midi/sound, no problems.
And it still kicks ass, after a few minutes adjusting to the graphics.
How can you challenge a perfect, immortal being like me, puny hacker?
hmm. maybe it can. :)
Global-What? You must be part of the conspiracy. :)
missed it:
from the not-really dept.
figures.
this reminds of someone how told me: "nuclear power is bad. we need more coal plants. and to cope with the co2, lets just plant more trees."
hey. dont ever post this again. ive got a weak heart you know. :)
well, one good hope a day is not that bad i guess. though its smashed in a matter of seconds.
nobody said, there IS life. but with this finding, its again a bit more likely. there has still been no definite "show stopper".
Planetary Fourier Spectrometer (PFS) - guess they can detect a bit more than just hydrogen with that.
seriously, buy what suits you best. and dont argue bout it. hugh. and where have my qoutes gone?!
whats an AMD|INTEL|... desktop anyway?! my "desktop" is made of cherrytree.
sorry about the rant, but at least *TRY* to understand a *BIT* about the underlying machine. they are no black boxes. and your kernel isnt either.
know why cd.. gives you "no such file or directory" and cd .. works
use &>/dev/null
dont ask what .so and .a is about
learn C
dont delete /lib, though you think you dont need it
love lilo
never think about suse or redhat
unresolved symbols are your fault, not theirs
know thy linker
learn C, and the preparser, heck, whats that .h hes complaininbout
dont trust binaries
dont change a running system
there is no such thing as "linux 9.1"
know thy system
there is no point in having the latest version if its running fine
know tcp/ip
dont run as root, if its not necessary
know -rwxr-xr-x
dump the "dir" alias. get used to ls -l

use slackware. and never give up. never surrender. it will pay off.
have you got more info than the picture yet? features? :)
then integrate the whole thing into Orbiter.

"though much faster, my pentium can barely run [insert 3d shooter here] at good FPS. how could it fly to the moon? so they never did."
logic?
clavius explanations.
satellite take-over - never thought about that. only had someone asking if the mars rovers could be hacked
insecurities in GSM - no risks here. just millions of 13 year olds sending SMS (love you so much, kisses ...)
automated analysis of surveilance cctv - someone ban these phones with cameras please :)
truck toll in Germany - aka how to waste billions of tax payers money efficiently
conflict resolution in Wikis - CONFLICTS?! WHAT CONFLICTS YOU F*****
other Social Software - aka how to raise your karma on /. and not make a complete ass of yourself
how nerds live in different cultures and countries - nerds?
2 minutes, and "Sorry! This section of Newscientist.com is unavailable at the current time".
sorry. still nothing to see for you here. move along.

they tried this already, with the Mars Polar Lander. but they lost it.
dont know if they will try again though.
"monsters? demons? what the hell are you talking about? we did the safety checks years ago with mars odyssey. its perfectly safe there!"
