Wow.. i wish there was a simpler way than for everyone to do all that parsing.. a word that would allow us to refer to the parent post of the parent post.. like "grandparent". Yes, grandparent.
I have an interesting theory on this publicity they've been getting. I've read far too many reports of opposite pictures being shown, to think it is some bad algorithm.
I think the wrong picture association is deliberate, to generate publicity in the form of blog posts, word of mouth and/. articles. And holy heck its working! If it is so: well played, cuil marketing, well played!
If I understand correctly, the rover would help _choose_ the area for samples, but no plans to return. The wiki link doesn't mention it ever having plans of returning.
The P-G actually plans on taking off and coming back to earth. FTFA:
Finally it will land on Phobos, collect soil samples and return them to Earth, leaving behind another module that will continue to transmit data on Phobos and the Red Planet for at least another 12 months.
Looks like this mission is the first ever in the world with plans to return back to earth from Mars(or its moons). And for under 100 mill$, its a bargain.
I've been thinking about this. Gmail provides a https interface, but i've seen people just type in gmail.com and be done with it (the session then uses http)
So my idea of a firefox plugin would be one that automatically tries for a 'https' version of any site (or lookup a list for it) and move to that if it exists.
Thats an important thing that I wanted to comment on:
Say "I dont know".
Thats worth repeating. Say "I dont know". I'm not a parent (hardly 22) but i've seen many parents/teachers being incapable of saying those three words, as if uttering them would make the child think less of them. This mentality leads to the same conditioning of the child, and he may,overtime, accept a flimsy argument and regurgitate rather than question it.
An "I dont know" from a parent or a teacher shows the child theres nothing wrong in admitting. This will take him a long way. For bonus, you could look up the question at hand and find the correct answer, and teach yourself and the child a thing.
PS : I think there should me more parents like netsavior
I'm not clinging to my religion out of ignorant[sic]. I understand the arguments against religion and some of them are quite compelling. But my reasoned position is to believe.
Irony.. or is that double speak? If you really do understand the arguments against it, you will see that _reason_ is the biggest one. And it is your reasoned position to believe?
Yes, you will be called an idiot for saying things like that, and no, theres rationality only on one side.
"Image" in the name refers to the ability of the packageiung system to install to a chroot-like enviornment. The Distribution constructor (what actually builds the iso) basically creates an "image" area, installs the packages to this are, compresses it, and converts it to an iso.
Apart from that, you can also create partial images, which is a space you as a normal user can install packages to. These link back to the libraries already installed.
I'm sure some of these features are available in existing linux packaging systems. But these are things the Opensolaris community has wanted for a long time.
Apart from these features IPS also has automatic snapshoting (using ZFS in the background), so you can revert your system back to earlier snapsots.

No
And that disproves my statement how? Avg Joe who needs a computer problem fixed urgently will pay to see the "hidden" replies.
But if you don't know to scroll down to the bottom of the page you probably think that you need to pay to get the answers.
Yeah.. their business model is kinda built around that.

Thats probably a first.

Best of luck to the P-G team.
You do realize it's the attrition.org guys. they're a little "out there". Check out their going postal section.. inline with TPB's legal.

YMMV.
And the answer everyone wants to know, Will he blend?
gWasted..
Sigh.. the kind of things GNOME is into these days i might as well move to kde.
India on that list? WTF?
We do have capital punishment for extreme crimes, but no way that we think "it's OK to kill people"
Get your facts straight.
Idiot.
If i were to convert my Vodafone India rates to $, the charges are:
call:
1c/min to a cell phone
5c/min to a landline
sms: (1$/month fixed) +
50 messages for 1c.. so a message costs around 1/50c
Suckers!

You must be new here.
But hey, if the pot and the kettle toot their whistles, who am I to cry wolf.
Thats not how it goes, is it..

I've tried to explain the use of "image" in my other comment http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=543728&cid=23305852

All in all a very effective packaging system
Anything to back that claim? I'm using 1.7
