but hi-res data could have been stored & broadcast after landing

From the article :
NEW DELHI: Double digit salary increases are back with a bang in corporate India. On average employees in private corporate sector in India got 10.38% salary increments during 2003 compared to just 9.7% during 2002.
The increment is projected to further go up to 11.02% during 2004. Moreover India has topped the Asia Pacific region with highest salary increases among 11 countries followed by Korea, Philippines and China.
It looks like a good idea to me. You really can't copy or in any way "hack" cartridges the way you can for CDs, and since HP is making the printers too, there is no question of an "all region code" printer

What does "computing matrix of 65536 mostly independent elements" mean? If it is not exactly 65536, then it is not 8 bits. What am I missing?
Oh my god! There are some tire tracks on Mars. The martians built another bot that cleans the dust of our bots.
