We've honoured heroic humans and animals with plaques, maybe its time we honoured these 2 little rovers with something similar. I realize I'm anthropomorphising the rovers and that it would really be a tribute to the engineers and operators, but I think we should in someway commemorate them.
How about getting 2 aircraft built instead of one. Setup the entire launch gizmo/whatsits in a suspended configuration like it would be at altitude and do some test launches. This would confirm or completely destroy your theories for launch atitude.
of a wild-haired mad scientist type twiddling knobs on a large machine, with gauges and dials wildly fluctuating, to the sound of great dynamos winding up, all bathed in a pulsating green glow.
"Power", he cries, "we must boost the power!"
welcome our new self driving robotic automotive overlords. Do they come with an annoying tendency to honk if you're a microsecond late pulling away on the green?
Where did they get dna from 2.4 million and 1 million years ago?
The problem I have is that the death penalty should only be used in cases of serial or mass murder where guilt is 100 percent certain - not plain old murder where one person kills one other person (even in cold blood). Also, I'm curious about the cost of someone fighting a life sentence for years versus someone fighting the death penalty for years - is there much of a difference?
to welcome our returning techno- dinosaur overlords.
"fixing simple things like scratched car fenders and in assessing damage in internal parts of anything from computers to aircraft."
... or killer mechanical robo-juggernaughts.
Now somebody in North Africa will think a UFO has crash landed.
A mouse! Apple wouldn't be so pedestrian - its an iPoint!
That is what I always thought it was for - to push the matter in front of the ship out of the way. The name sort of gives it away.
Well, I have the developer preview installed on one of my computers and I have to say that I'm not crazy about it. I'm downloading the consumer preview now and I'll install it on my computer with the developer preview installed so I can test it out too. I'm glad they have added better mouse integration as that will help with some of the UI issues I experienced. I will wait for he actual beta before I say whether or not I hate it, but right now, I'm not crazy about it.
That all the UFO visitations are simply us visiting from the future. As we get smaller our brains and heads remain the same size and our skin will turn gray from less sunlight due to increased cloud cover. So if you see a small gray being with a large head - its just our future selves.
I'm still using my laserjet 4 (got it out of the garbage - just needed a toner and pickup rollers). It has ethernet and works with cups though you have to use the laserjet 5 driver or it prints the same page over and over again. This, even though I sell and recommend Brother products.
I hope you took suitable precautions to keep the vents clear while using the machine in bed.
Excuse me, but I own the patent for "robotic janitorial self-immolating satellites". The Swiss government will immediately cease the unlicensed usage of the aforementioned robotic janitorial self-immolating satellites forthwith.
Excuse me, but I own the patent for "displaying miniature chameleons on a persons fingertip". The Register must immediately cease the unlicensed usage of images depicting miniature chameleons on peoples fingertips forthwith.
Excuse me, but I hold the patent for appending "protecting children from pedophiles" to new legislation. The Canadian government must cease unlicensed usage of this phrase forthwith.
I've noticed that here in Toronto a lot of those big TV type billboards use pcanywhere. Might be a chance for some amusing programming changes.
Did Orphan Annie, or more likely Daddy Warbucks have anything to do with this research?
I always liked the line "His eyes slid down the front of her dress". eewww.
Did they follow them back to the hive? Unless they can find a whole hive of these critters it could just be a misidentification.
Wonder if its based on openbts
But these are WILD animals whose behavior is unpredictable. For reference I point you to Timothy Treadwell, who made the assumption that it was perfectly safe to live with Grizzlies.
Best...invention...ever.
To the poop deck then...
My guess is Jay Leno who already has 1 jet powered bike.
A facebook is your school yearbook. You know, those books with a head shot of every kid in school in it.
When the cops just found 7 real bombs in a building over the weekend.
Must have a nice chunk of cash waiting for them at the end of the sim.
Didn't Sheldon do something similar in one episode?
Holy crap! 531 minutes for voice calls alone! I don't come close to that with my cell phone and land line combined. My messaging time is zero and I only have 1 game I play (a fishing game). I'm either pathetic or not willing to waste my time gabbing about unimportant nonsense.
This looks like its designed to fail, what with Unity being nowhere near ready for prime time. If they really wanted to make this work they should have used another distro with a more traditional UI.
So, if they failed to follow this directive would it result in a dishonorable discharge?
Alright, alright I'm leaving.

I like the highly detailed building model in the background.
Not gonna happen anytime soon, and I can prove it! I got the data somewhere on one of these 5.25 inch floppies.
We had a World Youth Day here in Toronto a few years ago and a better group of kids you will not find. Half a million or so young people came into town for a week and were, without exception, very well behaved. I know there are not a few on here who dislike anything to do with organized religion, but being around so many young, polite and well-behaved young people kind of gave me hope for the future.
Just had a thought about flight stability in thin atmosphere - top mounted rocket engines on a longish fuselage, perhaps with thrust vectored slightly away from the fuselage.
Sorta like this.

How about a long spar suspended under the balloon, with one side counterweighted and perhaps vaned, and the other side extending far enough horizontally to clear the balloon on launch?
Forget online dating - start checking census data. As a young man in my 20's I lived in a small town (pop 14000) that had a male/female ratio of 40/60. Due to economic factors a large percentage of young men had left to find work elsewhere and the available local jobs where such that most females didn't find them objectionable. Result - men gone, women stayed. Luckily I had found employment as a forklift operator at a local factory.
Looks like its powered by Linux. See the penguin on the guitar neck.
Fdisk, format, reinstall.
Given the way a Segway works, it probably flipped over immediately after becoming airborne and drove him headfirst into the ground.
I for one, want to know which patents are being infringed. Microsoft has been saying this for years but have not offered one shred of proof. If I recall, they also strong-armed Novell with this tactic. I think they also claimed that ALL Linux distros infringe on their patents. I simply don't believe it - they're just hoping the cost of litigation will intimidate companies into compliance.
