I call on all slashdotters to join the protest against the unjust targeting of high speed probes against such innocent planatery bodies as mars, and this commet.
On the other hand its nice to see nasa planning a mission where they _deliberatly_ crash probes as opposed to what usually happens..
I went and saw this movie last night and highly recommend it.
The same guy did the fight sequences as in the matrix and i think it would be fair to say the fight sequences in CTHD are way better than the matrix. (and more frequent.)
Its also fun to compare the number of taoist quotes in CTHD to matrix:
"all reality is an illusion":: "there is no spoon"
So if your salivating over Matrix 2 already, you really MUST go see this film.
Actually Australia and Japan are cooperating on a space program based at Woomera (where a lot of US and British missiles used to get tested).
The Japaneese have been testing an unpowered return vehicle that can be attached to a rocket shuttle style, deploy a satellite, then glide back down to earth.
The glide back down to earth bit is what they were testing at woomera.
Its such a shame that the Claudia Schiffer limited edition palm is only being marketed at women..
Is that a palm in your pocket or are you just happy to seem me..
Still on a more serious note, Bluetooth support is going to rock!
I already use my Nokia 8210 with IR to check my email on my VX and it'll be a huge bonus when i dont have to take my phone out of my pocket and point it at the ir window to get it to work..
The article mentions that bluetooth support initially will be via hardware glove, which is a shame though.
As we say in london, Bollocks. NTL does offer cable in a lot of areas though, and for just £20 a month (or £24 including box rental)
And according to the FAQ it works with Linux (uses DHCP), its just not supported.
The only downside is its limited to 512kbps downstream.
Wanted: Slashdot editor, must be incapable of spelling simple words when excited. Helps if you have keyboard that remaps the tab key as a submit button.
In all fairness though, he got all the right letters..
It seems to me that the water mark is kind of like the region coding in DVD's or playstation games. (except 1 person = 1 region.)
And the way we got arround that one was to alter the playback device.
EG you chip your playstation, or install a region changer over you dvd software..
So wouldn't it be easier to just 'chip' your player? Or buy a cheap korean copy with a hidden option to turn watermark detection off?
I mean when was the last time you saw someone hacking away at playstation software to change the region in the code?
Guerrilla.net is a project thats been trying to do a similar thing.
Not sure how far they've got, but the've got lots of technical info for anyone really interested.
I've got one of these running already.

If it wasnt for Q1/Q2/Q3 does anyone really think these chips would be getting so fast.
For the real world, if you want to process 2X as many email, Buy 2 computers!
Then you have double redundency as well...
Thats why Sun boxen are still the choice for many serious apps, despite having only 450, or 650 Mhz chips...
And i read somewhere that the ENTIRE Space station formely known as the ISS runs on a handfull of 386SX chips!
The simple way to mine asteroids is to launch *MANY* direction altering nukes at the intended target and alter its course to make it SLAM into the moon.
The heat from the impact will SMELT a lot of the ore for you, then you just go out in your moon buggy and pick up the metal, refine it and use it.
Why does everyone overlook earth ORIGINAL and LONGEST LASTING SATELLITE?
Better yet, why not do an MD5 on the file and then store the MD5's on the napster servers. People could then appove or disapprove of a particular song, and then napster could moderate up or down that songs karma..
Living the IT neophile life does not have to mean working your self to death. Do what i do.
1. Forget about material wealth, hard for you N.Americans, ill admit, but what good are stock options 6 feet underground?
2. Work 6 months a year in either london, newyork or ex-pat anywhere else (aslong as your getting paid like your in london or newyork.)
3. Spend 3 months backpacking round asia, or working at a ski resort, or as a dive master on a tropical island.
4. Spend 3 months working in a livable city, maybe where you grew up, maybe where your parents live. Make sure its summer. Do Tai Chi. 5. Have 1 75 litre bag of clothes, 1 laptop.
6. Read the Tao Te Ching.
7. Be Happy.
Ive been doing this for the past 4 years and have never been happier.

There was talk of it being used as a CRV as well.
This is why i love slashdot.

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction...
Magnet josts one direction, spaceship jolts the other.
Spaceship retracts magnet to repeat process, spaceship is retracted towards magnet EXACTLY as much as initial jolt.
This is a GOOD way to make a vibrator, but a bad way to make a space ship.
the word vrisu as vrisu, Ahh there it goes again!!

Granted, but IMHO 90% of desktops with 1.2Ghz chips in them sold next year, will be used for 2 things..
Quake and Email..
Followed by..
StarOffice/MSOffice
Napster/Gnutella (hopefully)/ICQ/AIM/etc
None of which need massive numbercrushing power..
Followed by a small black dot on the horizon which is all the applications combined that need more than 650Mhz!
Spend your dimes on RAM/HD/NERF toys..
