Massive Martian Glaciers Found 314

Posted by timothy on Thursday November 20, 2008 @10:56PM from the could-be-a-trick dept.

Kozar_The_Malignant writes "Scientific American is reporting that 'data from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter point to vast glaciers buried beneath thin layers of crustal debris.' Data from the surface-penetrating radar on MRO revealed that two well-known mid-latitude features are composed of solid water ice. One is about three times the size of the City of Los Angeles. This certainly makes the idea of establishing a station on Mars far more plausible."

Comment I like giving test.. (Score 1) 1057

I've hired a few people in IT. Usually you get 100 resumes for a position, then I select the 10-20 CV's/Resumes I like the best. Then I give those 10-20 people a test of basic concepts. You can get rid of the people then that have no f***'ing clue and not waste you time on them. If they pass the test they get an interview.

Too many people have read an article on /. about some technology, or tried something out for day then put it on their CV like they are an expert.

Some people say that's what on the job training is for, but when I hire somebody, I want them to come in and hit the ground running.

NASA Cancels Missions After All 256

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Saturday March 04, 2006 @10:41PM from the can't-go-if-the-money-isn't-there dept.

jd writes "Barely a day after NASA chief Dr. Griffen swore blind that projects might be frozen but not cancelled due to the new priorities and budget constraints, news comes of a new asteroid mission that has been cancelled due to the new priorities and budget constraints - something Dr. Griffin did not mention in his earlier comments. The visit to two asteroids, short about $90 million, was completely abandoned according to NASA, with no possibility of revival. In consequence, smaller missions are reportedly feeling at much greater risk."
