Pulse jet, a prop job could intercept and knock it down. Problem is, it was already on it's way down somewhere, all they ended up doing was knocking ot down somewhere else, where it still exploded.
Quite a gyration, NASA simultaneously hiding the Mars civilization from us while sending ever more sophisticated probes to look at them. Last time they upped the resolution and looked at the "Face" on Mars, Hoagland was all, "Nevermind!"
It's going to be exclusive content on the Smart Phone, and if they reveal the VP pick, the other news outlets will be sued for violating Romney's Intellectual Property. If he picks Sarah Palin, all this will be especially ironic.
Sure, all we need to do is put a wind turbine in front of the mouth of every greenie weenie with poor ice sight and collect the methane from all the enviros farting around.
Vehicle: "Sir, my pedestrian detection sensor confirms that was the second crunchy we've run over today."
Driver: "Why do you call them crunchies?"
Vehicle: "From the sound they make when they go under my tires, sir."
Because once you do that, you can convert all the skeptics in the scientific population by defunding their grants and even putting them in camps if they persist. It's for a good cause. The ends (destruction of the capitalist system) justifies the means. Let the false emails and hockey sticks fly!
Of course global warming is real. And a good thing too, the average temps of a body without CO2 at 1 AU (like, I don't know, the moon?) is -10F. But it the increase is man-made, then the increased temps on Mars must be from the emissions from all those NASA rovers there, eh? Hello! The sun is a mildly variable star.
I'm rolling with 98SE on a $35 Presario someone kicked to the curb. Oldest OS I can get to work with ethernet and a USB sound card. Opera 10.10. Mirc 5.9. WinAmp 2.81. DeepBurner for CDs. Runs all day with a DOS window open running streamripper grabbing hour-long Hearts of Space MP3s from a Russian station. Whole thing backs up into one corner of a stick. Exactly four processes running at bootup and I know what they are, but just in case I'm also running McAfee (which I bought from Goodwill). Low budget computing.
I'd say Facebook was doing a very good job annihilating itself with their $38 IPO now down 37% and the clunky Timeline UI. I'd be hard pressed to think of an external black-hat operation that could top those two self-inflicted wounds. Maybe porn site ad popups with loud audio of womenfolk enjoying themselves which you can't turn off, even when you are at Mass or in a very important interview. That might be a worthy hack.
ERP has a user interface that sucks so bad, it has to be a deliberate joke. Imagine plugging in a week's worth of time-keeping with Visicalc on an Apple II, when your funding number for each piece is just as long as a credit card number.
Transform technology to nearly 100% mobile, then incorporate fingerprint-based biometric confirmation inside the devices themselves so the NSA has total awareness of the movements and activities of everyone on the planet, based on the smudges people leave on their toys.
Why do they have to keep changing shit? Even when I'm using Gnome, I set the theme to Redmond or Clearlooks, and turn the animation off. KDE has always been too Fisher Price. Aero? Transparent windows are overrated for the memory they consume. That ribbon interface, how'd that work out for ya? I've never been interested in bloated eye candy.

One sheet of single ply ought to be enough for everybody.
In this case, the UI is the bug. Can't fix it.

The first 26 system calls of MS-DOS 1.0 are identical to the first 26 system calls of CP/M.
That was for backward compatibility with existing CP/M code. By DOS 2.0 file handles replaced File Control Blocks.
Like Apple never saw the Xerox/PARC GUI. Like Digital Research never cooked up GEM.

I'm laughing big time, Microsoft sued Lindows because their name rhymed with Windows, now they are getting their ass dragged into court over Metro.
When my Win98SE doesn't surf anymore because it can't handle the extra two bytes, maybe I'll care.
The installer forced me to enter an email, my name, zipcode, birthdate, and sex to complete the installation.
And if you get your sex wrong, it aborts the installation, because everyone knows girls don't mess with computers.
I dread the day I can't find video adaptor drivers for Win98SE anymore. It's great. Least bloated OS that still gets online.

FB must be pretty desperate to up the value of their stocks, paying some German rag to say if you don't get FB you might be a mass murderer.
The greenie weenies will try to ban it because it lowers the albedo of the Earth and leads to global warming.

I for one welcome our new goldfish overlords.

XP wasn't Vista either. Why didn't they just push out SP4? Oh, right. Money. The answer to any question that begins with "Why" is "Money".
