They explained yesterday in the NASA News Update, the department chief in charge for the upgrades explained it as follows

* Boot the rover with the Primary Computer to test the upgrade (no flashing)
* If all works, flash the software in the Primary Computer and test
* Boot the rover with the Backup Computer and test the upgrade (no flashing)
* If all works, flash the software in the Backup Computer and test

This is going to take about 4 days.

I agree.

Anyway, if you are interested in readings, here is a website that grabs the information released by the government and other sources (TEPCO, Schools, etc.) and consolidate them in graphs.

It is in Japanese but they added Google Translate.

I always hear this with AMD drivers but I have been using their cards (as a gamer) for years now and never had any problems.

Probably that is true for the USA store.

In the Japanese store pretty much there is no Japanese artist releasing songs without DRM (iTunes Plus), so pretty much it seems the decision is from the labels and not from Apple.

Actually in another post by Sockatume pointed the USPTO examiner is the one mentioning his website and not IBM.

(for some reason I cannot link the article)

"grep" and "wc" is waiting my friend...

I like this approach and also as usual, they offer you a way to go "there" anyway which saves you from false positives, never seen one though.

Also I like the alerts in the Webmaster tools as they send you an e-mail if you site gets infected, never happened to me but pretty sure is a good tool when you handle a lot of sites. I mean, how many webmasters actively run malware tools in their website?

You can actually enable cheats in SC2 and it will disable achievements. I think the program used for cheating allows you to get all the achievements in single and probably also in multiplayer which probably is what they are trying to "fight".

True, if the phone does everything you want, that is perfect.

For me at least with my Android, I really need the OpenVPN client (which is not available with the stock firmware) so I rooted my phone. I didn't rooted because I can.

I am also happen to be in Japan where the mobile company selling the HTC doesn't have an app to get the SMS messages from their service (it is some kind of email/sms hybrid).

Maybe add some Google Scribe to the edit box? :)

I just search for Convervapedia... it's not a joke...

"...An encyclopaedia with articles written from a conservative viewpoint."

Some of the top results are about Obama and Homosexuality...

The current Mexican President doesn't want to get drugs legalized BUT he opened the debate on this matter. As a democratic country (take it or leave it) if people push enough, it can happen.
At least it doesn't sound impossible, just really hard. But 20 years ago I wouldn't believe anything from my government, now at least I have hope (even if it is really small).

Call me naive but things have changed in Mexico.

The summary sounds like "oh noes, privacy issues" but then the article says:

"The good news for those concerned about privacy is that it appears for now Canonical is just interested in tracking the users of OEM installations -- those PCs that ship with Ubuntu by default such as from ZaReason, System76, and Dell."

And again

"For those not wanting to participate in this anonymous data gathering process, they could always sudo apt-get remove canonical-census. "

Just saying before the shit hits the fan.

It seems you are assuming the data collected by Google when an application checks against the DRM server is going to be used for other purposes. I haven't seen the privacy policy for this service yet so you may be true. Care to share more info?

You install the app with the "Market". So they can monitor what do you have (same way they can offer you updates). They flag it to remove and it gets removed.

Can Apple do the same? Yes!

What is the difference here?
Well, I can go to the website, get the .apk file from this malicious file and install it. Then, they cannot remove it (of course, they will not offer updates) and you just keep going.

Not saying if Google did wrong or not, just telling you there is an option there which you don't have on the iPhone.
