An excellent use for these MS supercomputers is to host xbox MMORPGs that enable 10 million players at a time reenacting the opening fight scene from Lord of the Rings: FOTR. Each player will run towards the center, clash, fight and most likely die within the first 30 seconds of gameplay.

You can copy each other's software and modify it as you please as long as you share the wealth / credit - but this is something that is inherently contradictory to hard-core capitalism. In a system where you have lawyers representing lawyers over who owns what and when, it is really hard to get around patents and the greed that inevetibly comes with them. (see http://www.thecorporation.com/ or http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/corporation/) Patent pools may only lead to more litigation about how they were used or abused.

As I am sure it may have been posted before, didn't Minerva have some type of visual lock-on/homing mechanism that will automatically find the largest rock nearby and move towards it? I guess it is not that sophisticated, or it just missed its trajectory due to the 40-minute atennae switch.

I have a friend who owns a Prius, yes he has the most expensive model around $28,000.00 US, but it gets about 45mpg average and he can use the HOV lanes which also saves time and gas.
In today's preplanned communities, where you are running around in suburbia in stop & go traffic, he says it does save time and money. The GPS system also saves time and money by not having to get lost or stop and ask directions.
On a side note, he said there was no wait to purchase this vehicle...he simply walked in the dealership and bought the only one they had. Toyota no longer measures their Prius inventories in monthly allotments, it is in such high demand that they do it by the day!

"Lichens grow in the leftover spots of the natural world that are too harsh or limited for most other organisms. They are pioneers on bare rock, desert sand, cleared soil , dead wood, animal bones, rusty metal, and living bark. Able to shut down metabolically during periods of unfavorable conditions, they can survive extremes of heat, cold, and drought."
They tend to thrive in unfavorable conditions, maybe there could be Lichen on Mars if it had a more stable atmosphere? They could also survive on a rusty hull of a space ship, so the panspermia theory is not too far off.
