I hate when people say something is useless but don't offer alternatives.
This is the way people "debate" in this day and age. If you don't come up with a perfect solution that solves every possible pitfall that you can imagine, then it is to be abandoned. Forget about the fact that it's better than any current solution.
I'm not sure why you don't think they are in the mainstream. That would be news to Xilinx or Altera. My Tivo has a Xilinx FPGA in it.
We had this debate here at my work last year. One guy wanted to solve a problem with DSP chips. He showed that he could get close to what FPGAs could do, but there was so much DSP arcana involved with parallel instruction sets and setting up the data *just* *so* that no one could really understand it, including the guy who was arguing for it. Lots of hand waving, know what I mean?
The FPGA solution involved VHDL code that a college new hire could whip up.
Motion of the rovers? I would imagine the lower moisture levels (if any) would make the dust there less sticky. I'd be curious to know if the rovers went through any serious inclines just bfore the power boost. Or if there was any unusually extensie activity of the probe arm and/or drill.
If you like the dual stick move/camera, you'll love the Ratchet & Clank series and Sly Cooper 2 over on the PS2.
Absolute perfect platforming nirvana, those games. Sly Cooper 1 is one of the all time greatest platformers, if not THE best.

They should be focusing on sexbots. Which format will win? RealDoll or Superbabe2000? Admittedly both formats are still rudimentary, and lack certain features, such as actual robotics, but things are progressing.
A few companies started settling instead of fighting frivilous lawsuits. Now it's the primary source of income for some law firms, and its side effects are a measurable drain on the economy.
So will society let this one spin horribly out of control until it is a vast, pathetic cataclysm of Brobdingian proportions, that makes strong men weep, strong women faint and baby Jesus cry?
So...if Wikipedia had been around way back when... the "world-is-flat" crowd would have edited out the silly "world-is-round" guy, right?
No. The idea that the flat earth theory was ever widely accepted by is a myth. Auguste Compte and others laid the ground work for the "theory" in the 1800s with anti-religious sentiments that overstated the whole idea of "war" between science and religion.
The idea that Colombus was opposed by a vast Flat Earth opposition was invented by Washington Irving in his book on the explorer in 1828. French scholar Antoine-Jean Letronne furthered the myth a few years later.
Is there any research showing negative health effects of nearby cell towers, especially on children?
We can only hope so.
They can install one in my backyard and focus it on the kids who ride their noisy motorized whatsis scooters up and down the street ALL FREAKING SUNDAY AFTERNOON!
These days any hack with a blog can wrap something in HTML, slap a google ad on it, and call it journalism.

I'm sorry, but how does that vary significantly from the mainstream news media?
I still remember last year when someone had the idea to use the tools from futures market analysis to try and predict the next terror event. I read a white paper on it and even met someone on the project. It was one of those weird uberclever ideas that might just work given a chance.
EVERY news outlet in the country reported it as "people to wager money on terrorism" when it was nothing of the sort. They were simply using the same analytical tools because they were powerful, and because dozens of software packages already existed. It was also sullied because they put Poindexter in charge, and if there's one logical fallacy that the general public takes to like a crack whore to fresh dick, it's the Guilt By Association fallacy.
So the project was killed, and I can only hope the next terror event happens smack in the middle of some news media convention or event.
I say Go Bloggers! They may make mistakes, but maybe eventually we'll get a new media that gets things remotely correct once a month or so.
Yep, MCE does this too. In fact, every such event is also captured in the Windows Event Log, so you can dump it to a text file or a spreadsheet for further analysis.
Yeah, but if I start doing this, I need to seriously analyze my life and how I'm spending it.

But then again dry, pure information can get tedious sometimes. There's nothing wrong with a little style.
Keep web sites simple and clean? Forget about the fancy crap and let me get to the information I need ASAP? Just a thought.

Well where's the sport in that?

You rock.

Well, duh! They'll be green, of course!
Maybe they can set up drive-thrus.
Instead of a Jack-In-The-Box clown, we can have giant, glowing plastic heads of Ashlee Simpson, 50 Cent or Shania Twain.
Ha! That's silly of me!
People don't even download Ashlee Simpson songs for free.
I wonder if a giant, glowing head of Ted Nugent is a sign of the End Times. You could pay your fine and buy some ammo at the same time.

Of course we will. The question was rhetorical.
It takes a village to write a browser.
So will someone actually, like, use a cuss word? Or perhaps some wanton actress will display her ankle, or even a complete stockinged shin?
For shame, Mr. Lucas, for shame, you pr0n merchant!

Think of the children. I have many recepies.
Your post sucks.
That's all I have to say about her that's civil.

If this wasn't a Saturday morning, I bet I could come up with a really good punchline for this.

No, wait, Gaelic is Ireland. Never mind.
Anyway, you're fine, but the alternative definition for celver is "take one's own sister carnally" so maybe you were being dmub.
Look, I dunno what I'm talking about. What are you reading this for anyway? Get back to work!
We can now own a definitive version of Reefer Madness!
Maybe Microsoft could patent their virus vulnerabilities.
