The spacecraft has already provided more than 50 Terabits -- that's 50 million million bits. To put it another way, that's more than all the data transmitted by all previous JPL spacecraft put together!
I will think the 5 year old only will think it is a real nice horse. It will start to freak out when you do.
That does not mean you should show those images on purpose. It also does not mean that the kid will because a psychopat when it sees something like that by accident.
Although it is nice to see positive news, you must remember that Europe is not one country. It is many countries and what is legal in one can be very illegal in another.
As if you start comparing laws in Israel, China and Japan, just because it is all Asia.
If you see a flaw in someone's argument, call them on it.
Reminds me of one school where I had a teacher where I did this all the time. The fact that I was almost always wrong did not stop me from trying and him not from stopping me try AND LEARN.
The next year I had a different teacher who just wanted me to memorize. Guess from what teacher I learned the most.
So even if not blatantly calling somebody on it, I have learned to question and ask. Just like a 7 year old I sometimes keep asking 'Why?' with every answer I get. As you are talking about their field of expertise and most likely interest, you can learn a lot.
Looks like a normal day where I have worked and work. In fact it is the law in Belgium.
Start , have a lunch break and stop at the end of the day. The Lunch break is a minimum of 30 minutes. These are the working hours. Where I work a total of 7h12m per day. This is what you get payed for. No pay during your lunch break.
During your first and your second 'shift' you also have a 10 minute break that you can use however you desire. Many take it as a smoke break or use it to look things up for you personally. These breaks are payed.
Extra time is either payed in holidays or in money. With the latter you will pay extra taxes on them. You are not allowed by lay to work more then 9 hours and you must take 8 (I think) hours between stopping time and starting time.
Obviously there always is a way around the law. However it is very difficult to either force or make people "volunteer" to do extra shifts. This is all done so there are less unemployed people.
Nice in theory, but it does not always work out that way.
On the one side you will have people who get employed and get things done in 2 hours and then could go home.
On the other side you have employers who give you so much to do that you need to work 16 hours instead of taking 2 people who work 8 hours.
Both extrem examples, but 1 hour per person is already a nice amount of money you do not need to pay.
So I do work 8 hours and if they wish to give me only two hours work then I do/. for 6. If they give me 9 hours of work, they will not get the task done, because I can only do 8. If they compensate me for 9 hours, I will work 9.
This does not mean I never do extra hours. It is as always a bit of give and take. But if I work in a team of 8 people and they do it with everybody, they better hire a month if they want to have the task done in time.
I know how to do it. I have both the tools and the knowledge of how to do it. Still I don't. I do not care to back up photo's, because I do not take them with my phone. I do not backup my music, because I do not listen to my music on my phone.
All I do is call and SMS and nothing else. I have had phones where I did not know how to do it, because I never even tried it. Could have been as easy as keeping the * pressed for longer then 10 seconds and all would be done automatically. No idea, because I do not care or need it.
My guess is that people do not know, because they do not care.
They buy the phone with all the extra gizmo, because they believe in marketing. I know I buy them, because of the looks. I can get them very cheap (unlocked). If I would have to pay for them in a normal way, I would buy the cheapest available.
Thanks for making it unpossible for the common man to have a copyright and only let (big) companies get away with it. They also will love to have the excuse of tax-reduction AND can now more easily convince the law to go after grandma humming a song, because after all: they payed for it.
What about just doing the whole lot. First it is for business. I pay 25EUR per year for my hosting. Unlimited email adresses. Just don't use the webspace. Add another 10EUR for the domain per year and you are done for 35EUR per year. (51USD)
I have not shopped around that much, but I am sure there are much better prices to be had if you ae not interested in how much extra you get with the webspace. No need for MySQL, subdomains or any of the other things you can get,
I have seen places as cheap as 1.25EUR per month or 15EUR per year and domains as low as 6EUR per year. So that is 21EUR per year (or just above 30USD in current rates) with 3GB webspace that is shared with your email.
If you have a problem of spending 30USD-50USD for your business, you have other problems.
The first test they asked everybody to act like a terrorist and they all showed up with a balaclava under a turban. Somehow this was not what the testers expected.
Seriously, technically you are right. However the danger is not for the people here on/. The danger is with the people who have no clue on how to do this. Could you explain my grand parrents who still have problems with handling a mouse on how to do that?
Can I give them your number so that each time they see something like this, they can call you on what to do. Because that will happen for many people.
Better late then never. I just would not call it news anymore. There was a time that/. had items as one of the first. Now the delay is getting larger.
Just ditch things that are older then 24 hours. That will save you a LOT of time. Perhaps even enough to read the article before writing and/or editing a summery.
Slashdot Mirror
You could have gone to the homepage http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/mro/
There it states 67.5 Terrabits received. (Terrabits, not terrabytes)
And on http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/mro/mission/sc_telecomm.html it gives a different figure, but that is static data, while on the first page it looks as if it is dynamic information.
The spacecraft has already provided more than 50 Terabits -- that's 50 million million bits. To put it another way, that's more than all the data transmitted by all previous JPL spacecraft put together!

Read the mail together with your kid.

Just so you are aware of it.
There have been smaller webservers made. Just a few

http://linuxmafia.com/wearables/
http://d116.com/ace/
http://tzywen.com/photos/smallservers/sfarm2.jpg
This after 3 seconds of typing in the search "smallest web server" in google and waiting for 0.11 seconds. So what does this one make it so special?
I thought you were talking about /.
That is why I I rather use w3m or links instead of lynx.
At least in those two some of the layout is kept. Lynx however is great in scripting.

They do. I know a person who works for the news department and they do regular updates of many people. Things can go online almost imidiatly.
And let us not foget that each and every country will bend the truth a little bit to look better to the rest of the world.

If this achieves its goals is another matter.

What matters is what something is, not what it is called.
I know how to do it. I have both the tools and the knowledge of how to do it. Still I don't. I do not care to back up photo's, because I do not take them with my phone. I do not backup my music, because I do not listen to my music on my phone.

Why not? Competition is good.
My cousin Vinny Corleone only charges 10% for protection. And here is the RIAA charging more for protection and they get away with it.
So to sum it up: there are lies, damn lies and statistics.
For efficiency reasons I skip the first two steps.
Thanks for making it unpossible for the common man to have a copyright and only let (big) companies get away with it. They also will love to have the excuse of tax-reduction AND can now more easily convince the law to go after grandma humming a song, because after all: they payed for it.
So you mean there are pro-people lobbyists? Oh wait, that are the politicians themselves who were voted by the people for the people.
I just use my own domain and just pay for my hosting (web and mail) without the need to agree with Google reading my mail for indexing.
It also works and I can devote my time also to reading slashdot.

HTML? Nice, I can make it with FrontPage [ducks]
I do that even for htm, txt and css file types.

How much difference would it make for me, as a European, when looking at e.g. the US based slashdot servers?
