Somehow I have a bad feeling that while allowing the rover to remain operational for a bit longer, it will also ironically become stuck in the hole it dug.

So soon, if this trend keeps gaining wind under its wings, WoW will be flooded with millions of fatass female elfs and midgets... Well, they get whats coming to them.

...Or nuke you. Just think about it. The entire nation frozen staring and pointing at the sky (swirly thing alert), while the Russians do what they want.

Cat: Forget Red — let's go all the way up to Brown Alert! Kryten: There's no such thing as a Brown Alert, sir. Cat: You won't be saying that in a minute! And don't say I didn't alert you!

IQ tests measure only certain predetermined parts of human brain capacity. The problem with IQ tests are that it is hard to create an universal definition of "intelligent", and thus, what to measure. There are also many things that affect the results of those tests like current emotions, how well your brain has experience in such tasks and level awareness. Anyway, Stern, who created the bases to modern IQ tests never meant those tests to be used to compare people and their level of intelligent. People have to remember that intelligent behavior, mathematic power, short term task memory, wisdom, experience, knowledge, social intelligent and many others are all different things. It is pretty much impossible to measure humans mental capacities in a way that they would be comparable to other people.

Commander, tear this ship apart until you have found those torrents, and bring me the seeders! I want them alive!

I for one, just like many others, prefer hard disks over solid-state because of their more predictable lifespan. Solid-state drives tend to slowly lose parts of their usable sections. Even though the good old hard disks tend to break easily, at least I can defragment them without slowly starting to damage the disk. Yep, there are 2 different kinds of solid-state drives which handle this problem differently, but I still don't think the technology is matured enough yet. Perhaps in a few years. As for the mini laptops and such, solid-state seems to be superior though. Many of the first mini laptops used solid-state, but now only very few have them. Why this direction of development?

"A new NASA rocket engine" Is VASIMIR really all that new technology. It has been in development for quite a while now, and has gotten quite much publicity in the past few years or so. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but ain't VASIMIR developed private company, not by NASA? Sure, NASA is working together with Ad Astra Rocket Company, but does NASA really deserve all the fame? Anyway, I truly hope that we will be sending a man in Mars in the upcoming years and I think that VASIMIR os one of the best ways of doing so. The problem is that Mars has always seemed to be just a bit under decade away for quite a long while now...

Being mind-controlled and all, lets just hope that a beautiful lady doesn't walk past and you subconsiously grab a body part you don't want to be squeezed by a powerful mechanical arm...

Remember this is Microsoft we are talking about. "Its not a problem. Its a feature."

I for one welcome our Irish coosing overlords.

Nomen est omen. Great, it must be half way to Mexico by now.

Great, now you are giving them even more ideas!

Space Corp directive 34124. 'No officer with false teeth should attempt oral sex in zero gravity.'

If you happen to find a place that is not affected by gravity please inform me immidietly. I'm sure many physichist would be interested.
