A very large group of active and outspoken atheist on YouTube are concerned that their videos are now at risk of being flagged to death by the religious fundamentalist.

Has this set a new precedences for freedom of speech on YouTube when it comes to religion? What other books might it be a violation of YouTube's TOS to quote from?"

Mars Camera's Worsening Eye Problems 93

Posted by kdawson on Sunday February 11, 2007 @06:43PM from the ringing-in-the-eyes dept.

Mr_Foo writes "According to a Nature article, the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter's HiRISE imager is suffering from a loss of peripheral vision. The problem surfaced less than a month after the orbiter reached Mars. One the camera's four color detectors has completely stopped working, and it is feared that the problems are spreading. Currently seven of the fourteen HiRISE's detectors are sending back corrupted data and although the issue is only creating a 2% loss of signal at this time it is expected to worsen. The lead investigator for the mission is quoted as saying the problem is systemic: 'In the broken detectors, extra peaks and troughs are somehow being introduced, causing... a "ringing" in the signal. "We don't know where the ringing is coming from," [the investigator] says.' Warming the electronics before taking images seems to help the problem. This effect might be one reason why the detectors on the cold periphery of the array were the first to pack up."
