Technically, they probably carefully avoided a tech savvy Slashdot crowd.

By targetting parking lots outside large shopping malls outside the city centers I am sure they attack people listening to Britney Spears rather those rolling their own kernels. The chance of duping someone there seems more likely to me.

Hmmm. Next /. poll. How often do you visit shopping malls.

1. Every day.
2. Several times a week
3. Several times a month
4. A few times every year
5. Grok you?

LOL. I was trying to avoid that, but realize the my bloody foot is aching. The "golf-ball surface" is annoying too. Surely, someone has a better resolution image somewhere. The so-called Face on Mars (http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/060921_mars_images.html) was defaced here http://www.space.com/images/060921_mars_faceB_02.jpg. I am sure this "biosphere" must be defaced too, somewhere.

One of those pictures shows the "Wolfe Creek": http://www.geocities.com/zlipanov/impact_craters/wolfe_creek-australia.jpg, which is a "relatively well-preserved crater that is partly buried under wind blown sand. The crater is situated in the flat desert plains of north-central Australia. Its crater rim rises ~25 meters above the surrounding plains and the crater floor is ~50 meters below the rim. Oxidized remnants of iron meteoritic material as well as some impact glass have been found"

However, it does not retain anything like a dome, or, a droplet frozen in action due to heat... And, the steep rim to the crater floor shows no major signs of erosion. Next explanation, please.

But, DirectX 11 will be supported on Vista too.

"To be fair, the OS upgrade requirement also threw a wrench in the gears. That won't be a problem this time, as Vista still sucks but will be getting DX11 support and Windows 7 looks like a better upgrade option for XP users than Vista. Developers who haven't already moved from DX9 may well skip DX10 altogether in favor of DX11 depending on the predicted ship dates of their titles, all signs point to DX11 as setting the time frame we start to see the revolution promised with the move to DX10 take place. Developers have had time to familiarize themselves with the extended advantages of programmability offered by DX10, coding for DX11 will be much easier though OOP constructs and multithreaded support, and if the features don't entice them, the ability to run on downlevel hardware with a better coding environment might just seal the deal."
