The irony is, consumer printing services, like WalMart, dont process camera RAW files.
I took a handfull of NEF files on a CF card to Walmart and the machine wouldn't recognize them.
Maybe if they finally release testing, debian will start to pick up again. As it is, the (default) antiquated install system and old (default) packages are driving people to look for alternatives with some spring under its step. Ubuntu provides this. If debian users aren't happy about this, I think its just a case of sour grapes.
Actually, we have a saying:
"The rain in Spain falls mainly on DSS-63"
The rain is a very large concern for everyone here tonight. We have already requested a backup downlink session tomorrow in case of problems tonite. Basically, we stole a 70 meter antenna from another project.
The critical data will make it down at the end of the Madrid pass, as there is dual coverage with a 34 meter Goldstone, CA station.
Best of luck.
you just contradicted yourself! If you "send all the bits" then your implying that you've already decoded things!
If you want to send back the raw stream, sampled, then it would be enourmous amounts of data. Enough to occupy Cassini for the rest of its mission.
Do the math: the telemetry subcarrier is about 100kHz away from the carrier signal, so, you'll need a recording bandwidth of about 500kHz just to get the first harmonic. 500kHz sampled at 8 bits per sample, complex, for 4 hours is over 14 gigabytes. You dont want to have to send that back to earth.

"The funny part is, they're removing an Electric Car display to make room for an SUV display."
Not just any SUV, it's Stanley. And who doesn't love Stanley? (CMU - dont answer this).
I built a Lego Turing Machine using only 1x1 blocks.

...becasue its not like their ditching intel in their gaming platform is it? http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=12552
Anyone know where? Or specifically, where they're handing out tickets. I'd like to go.
Attitude Control Systems (ACS) has data already showing a drag torque from Titan's atmosphere. Too awesome.
