    Apparently we have lost communications with Mars rover

    They claim it may be software problems!!.

    This is just a small jab at the software giant

    Fox news... oh god my eyes are burning!

    That is the furthers from decent news! when you want news go to the source:
    http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/home/
    or at least:
    http://www.spaceflightnow.com/mars/mera/status.html

    most of all microsoft had nothing to do with the rover's software which was custom writen by nasa, so blame a software problem on Kanna Rajan:
    http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q="Mars Rovers" "Kanna Rajan" software
    that and later evidence shows that it is now likely not a software problem but a hardware one!

    Most software breaks down eventually, its just a matter of finding something it was not coded to handle correctly.

    Connecting the evil of microsoft to anything good or of importance (like the Mars rovers) is wrong by all measure!

    I guess I can now see where you are coming from wellcookedfetus. Its almost like saying Satan had a hand in creating the world. Ok so maybe not. But Im tired and I cant think of anything else to say. So to all, goodnight
