I think it is more that the surface of the probe is going to have fragile equipment on it like sensors and solar cells. They can't just let it roll around like that because this things will get wrecked. Rolling on the spikes means that the gear on the outside of the probe will be protected and in a posititon to examine the surface of the moon. Additionally there won't be much need to control attitide. Attitide control can be tricky on a small moon because it may not be obvious which way is "down".
Well okay in the character set they were using a dedicated decimal point character would have been really handy and the user agent would have been free to render it as needed.
Aviation needs to bite the bullet on metric as well. Currently Russia counts altitude in metres and everybody else has to use a mix of units. Nautical miles are used for distances. Its a mess.
Here in Australia everything is in milllimetres in construction, to the point where if somebody asks you how deep you want that concrete slab and you answer "1254" then that is understood to be 1.254 metres of concrete.
Hard to imagine that the Egyptian Government will be happy in the long term with software which gives the user full control over encryption and messaging. They will want a nice closed source solution with DRM right there in the kernel, firmly attached to the hardware.

Strange that spell check doesn't work on slashdot input fields, but it does on other forums like reddit.
Consider Sony buying Ericsson's mobile business (so to speak). The name had vaue.
I never talked about tossing stuff together. My training is in Instrumental Science. I know how this stuff is done.
Nokia predicted to abandon mobile business, sell assets to Microsoft and Huawei in 2013
No, how much?
I smell a business opportunity.
More like 90% of the people designing space vehicles these days grew up on Heinlein juveniles.

Maybe she should pick a new name, possibly a business name to work through and notify her current circle of contacts of the change.
Sounds like it would work for younger people then. The success of this model would depend on the age distribution in the target population.
The weak US dollar is moving jobs to the US.

Yeah you have to do the change all at once if it is to work at all.
Surely there was room in ASCII for a decimal point character.
Yeah experience shows that you have to make the old units illegal, otherwise people keep using them.

Armstrong paused for the a and I suspect the voice controlled push to talk in his OPS pack dropped out for a moment.
Cory will write a whole book around people who refuse to use MIDI.
It shouldn't be an issue in this day and age.
