Spirit Stuck In Soft Soil On Mars 160

The lander's wheels are halfway sunk into the soil and they are planning simulation tests to see if they can get it out again. I hope they can get it out of there because it's picking up enough new energy to operate; however, it only has 5 wheels left to get around on — one of the wheels hasn't been working for years. Fingers crossed."

Singularity Hub writes "Check out the HRP-4C robot, one of the first humanoid robots to boldly sidestep the typical transformer look, instead posing as an attractive manga style woman. Is anyone else having flashbacks of the movie Blade Runner where robots are indistinguishable from humans? The HRP-4c robot is slated to strut down the catwalk March 23 (tomorrow) as a model in a Tokyo fashion show."

Welcome to Modern Bureaucracy-Driven Education. We now try to teach to the highest common denominator. I have to teach Algebra 2, including matrices and determinants, polynomials, logarithmic and rational functions, series, etc. (i.e. college-prep curriculum) to kids who don't plan on going to college, and never plan on leaving the farm. To more directly address the problem at hand, Guido van Robot is a fun, engaging, interesting intro to programming. And it is written in Python.

You mean you don't want to watch WRESTLING from ATLANTA?
