"Push A1 and you get a Hershey chocolate bar and H5 gets you a bag of BBQ chips. Now just replace Hershey chocolate bar with candidate A and BBQ chips with candidate B. Seriously, WTF is going on with these things!"
The Elephant Bar is supposed to drop right down but the Donkey Chips are supposed to get hung up, and if they can't do that simple thing they'll find another no-bid contractor to do it.
Bingo. And they could have tinted the "life" pink in the Mars rock they found in Antarctica in 1996. At least the old black and white Mariner 4 photos were honest.
It won't happen, they're off on the wrong track, making faster and more complex algorithmic units, when the human brain doesn't even work off Boolean, but on frequencies of pulse trains processed by neurons that are biological entities themselves, with dynamic interconnections and each cell subject to different "moods" based on the levels of food, oxygen, and hormones its bathed in. In other words, the smallest possible emulation of a brain is a brain.
See if you say that after all those Wal-Mart-shopping peckerwoods start using their burnt-out fluorescent bulbs for shootin' practice and that mercury starts piling up in Booger Creek.
Don't forget...to pay your $699 licensing fee you cock-smoking teabaggers.
Sure SCO troll, here's an orange virtual $500 bill, a peach-colored virtual $100 dollar bill, a blue virtual $50 bill, two green virtual $20 bills, a pink virtual $5 bill, and four white virtual $1 bills. Now we're all squared up.
The only thing worse than the Star Wars Christmas Special is outtakes from the Star Wars Christmas Special. In other words, material that was actually not good enough to be included in the Star Wars Christmas Special.
"I'm still waiting for Lucas to start working on episodes 7-9. He's broken just about every other promise, including his batshit-crazy insistence on never releasing the original unaltered trilogy on DVD. What else is he going to do after Indy 4?"
Star Wars Christmas Special 3D Ultimate DVD Edition, with restored footage deemed too goofy in 1978.
Harrison Ford will provide the voice of Indiana Jones but the "person" you see on screen will be a CGI recreation of Indiana Jones based on footage from the previous 3 movies.
Or is this the result of the CYA era, in which the engineers had to promise a certain longevity, and nobody was willing to risk more than a 90 day promise.
That reminds me of when Scotty told LaForge to overshoot his estimates to the Captain by a factor of four to maintain his reputation as a miracle worker.
In the hypothetical case that they HAD been insane enough to use a Windows derivative, how long would a patch take?
Longer than it would take to make Spirit and Opportunity the most far-flung zombies ever.
Even Stephen Hawking is saying the future of space exploration has to be colonization.
We have people in Antarctica but it's still just an expensive way to get the 411 on that continent. No one is talking about a real self-supporting colony even on Antarctica, which has air and H20 and earth gravity, let alone on the moon, which does not. In short, you can't have a colony unless you have oil or slaves or tobacco to exploit.
Your local public libraries carries a tons of CD that you can borrow for FREE
and rip it to your best MP3. I'm wondering when RIAA is going after the local
public library
Now you know why the Patriot Act lets the guv'mint look at what items you checked out from the library.
That when all is said and done, one of the things the RIAA will walk away with a list of customers who used the service?
Yeah, here you go RIAA, here's a list of customers who used allofmp3.com:

After they pulled off two landings, and perhaps right after they they revived one of the rovers from a perpetual reboot error (the ultimate remote bios fix) and before the dust devils cleaned their solar panels, before they unstuck one from a sand dune, and even before the 3 month mission went 3 YEARS...
If you buy all that, you'll buy O.J's book where he searches for the real killer. This is precisely the public relations NASA bought with their two "Mars" rovers in Nevada, informally dubbed Capricorn 2 and Capricorn 3.
Rocket scientists associated with the project are cautioned, however, that if their remotely accomplished work-arounds for failing hardware cause the probe to become more than 20% different from the original manufacturer's configuration, this will trigger Microsoft Mars Rover(tm)'s copy protection scheme and invalidate the product activation. JPL will then have to call Redmond, explain the situation to Microsoft's satisfaction, and request permission to continue using Microsoft Mars Rover(tm).

"I thought we had finally advanced past the "higher clockspeed = more better" stage..."
For performance issues, possibly, but not for pure bragging rights.

We're loving the PKD reference titles today.
We Can Remember Them For You Wholesale, as a matter of fact.

Oh, so it's gonna be Indiana Jones and the Uncanny Valley.

The problem is when people write code that can blow right past the end of an array.
Why not? This is the era of kerjillion dollar lawsuits that blow right past the GDP of the host country.
statutory royalties are set (apparently 15% in Russia)
And where did royalties go?
Bad things happen to royalties in Russia. Just ask Anastasia.

What RIAA's lawyers didn't tell them is that they get a 5% advance against the future $1.65 trillion judgment, payable in advance and non-refundable.

is VXWorks, from Wind River ( http://www.windriver.com/ [windriver.com] ). It's a *nix-like real-time OS.
And as soon as SCO beats IBM, Novell, and AutoZone like bongo drums in court they're going after NASA. "All Your UNIX Are Belong To Us."

The article mentions the 3D GUI, but we first saw that in the movie "Johnny Mneumonic"...well me and about three other people did.
Not surprising. How many people from 2006 have seen Microsoft "Bob" ?
I'm not sure what the corporate equivalent of locking you up in a loonie bin would be.
