The picture is for an old german side check point, empty just like teh Switzerland check point few meters away. Although Switzerlan is not part of the European Union

Mars, what is next ...

The ChemCam will fire a laser from the rover toward rock and soil targets up to 9 meters away, vaporizing materials from a 1 millimeter area and analyzing the atomic composition of the targets' surfaces. The vaporized material, a plasma of hot gas made of free-floating ions and electrons, will be analyzed by the onboard spectrograph.

Bill Gates

Genius, rich and philanthropist ... I agree that I often times used bad words against him (only for windows ealier than 7), but I truly respect him; he is devoting his time and wealth to help people; mostly in Africa, from vaccines to circumcision that reduce AIDS spreading rate.
I wonder why our rich are stupid money dumpsters; if it is up to me, i would appoint him King of Egypt.

Made in China ? ! ..... YES

W e always ask: made in China ? ! as a gesture of saying: what ?
Now China is building a petascale supercomputer with home-grown processors, this how nations plan for the next generations. The Arabs, who once lead the world in science and innovations, can hardly build small scale computers, we only buy what others make, so the Hadeeth Shareef hits us as we eat form what others grow and wear what others make, and hence we are of no good. The 4 PFLOPS daemon will be ready by mid 2010 and will host around 12,500 cores (782 chips with 16 core each). Click the title for more.
