Oh, yes! Zoe, the autonomous rover from NASA Ames Research Center. That's encouraging to know that work was the base for new rover code. Exactly what I'd hoped.
Believe me, the Microsoft OSes weren't on my short list. I was just envisioning having a couple of RTOS and OS choices with common goals, a well-administered stable version for each, with drivers and the like controlled pretty strictly.
I hope the folks who work on the various rovers get together periodically and exchange ideas -- a standard data bus, a secure common operating system, reuse of algorithms, joint testing of components... could save time, money, and mistakes.
This thing all things devours: Birds, beasts, trees, flowers; Gnaws iron, bites steel; Grinds hard stones to meal; Slays king, ruins town, And beats high mountain down.
I don't think the system is broken. I think Nader is grasping for one last shining moment in the limelight, and not thinking of what will happen outside of his own narrow interest.
So you think Nader would be a good President? Heh.
I admire the man he used to be, but he wouldn't have been able to run the country. Activists don't compromise their principles - or anything else. In politics, you have to give some to get some. Activists make rotten politicians.
I'll complain about whatever I want. Ralph taught me that, back when I worked with CALPIRG, before he lost his flippin' mind.
I get your drift now. You want me to shut up - inconvenient truth and all that.

Well, Fawke that!
That was a fascinating discussion about where the low-ball laptop will take us...
/.'ers!
I enjoyed the comments in that thread as well... everybody is so polite even when they disagree... take note,
After all, it's an appliance.
Particularly since the eee PC runs on Linux, and has an easy mode by default.
One is the loneliest number...
Ubuntudupe, is that you?
>One senior Air Force official calls the squeeze so 'utterly stupid, it makes me want to scream.'
Presumably he didn't post that on his blog...

So much for my proposal to eliminate the need for any further Moon missions by destroying the Moon.

Q: How many IBM engineers does it take to change a light bulb?
A: (this line intentionally left blank)
Subscribe to IBM Gold Class Hardware Maintenance for those oddly insoluble problems!
Hey, finding good algorithms is like looking in a box of chocolates for shrimp... as my momma always used to tell me... CompSci is as CompSci does...
Why don't you start a technology blog with ads and submit this, and other tech stories, to drive traffic to your site? :)
*musing*
Well, it it was warm, and fuzzy, and inside you... you probably would puke, so I guess these clauses are synonymous.
Not so. It's true, and germane to the veracity of the purported 'facts.'
That was very insensitive.
I suppose you walrus hurt the ones you love.

The worst problem is when your imaginary friends tell you to kill them all!
I suspect despite our difference on Nader's run, that we would get along on most topics.
I've decided to get back into the movement.
Bought a bullhorn today. It's sweet. Effective range about two miles.
I try to save my mod points until I've had a chance to have my caffeine or else I commit terrible injustices.
You know how funny works - you make a joke - people mod you Funny. Then someone in a bad mood mods you Overrated. Careful...

No.
I'm gonna shut the window so those flying pigs won't get inside and interfere with me knitting a muffler for the devil.
Folks, you let this guy get you all riled up.
You should have listened to this guy instead.
His advice?
Don't feed the trolls!
Sage advice, from someone who knows. Heed it next time.
You're certainly entitled to your opinion. I happen to have a strong one on this, and neither of us will budge.
Let's agree to disagree.
