Many of you would be aware that this week the Mars Rover Spirit stopped responding. This image of the Mars Rover explains why this might have happened...

Bill Gates has a lot to answer for...

When I saw the Subject line, I was sure I'd be looking at some Lucas electrical part on the Mars rover . . . (Off, Dim, Flicker).

Did it have an intel sticker as well?

yours, Pete.

Read the other day that the Rover's computer rebooted 60 times over a day or two.

Sounds like the Celeron may be at fault.

Either that or someone downloaded 'Porn Kings Download Plus'.

My personal belief is that [tinfoil on] Russian saboteurs have entered the Stargate at Babylon (the real reason the US has been in Iraq) and scuttled the Rover. They don't want it to discover the ancient atmosphere-generating equipment under Mars' surface. Remember 'Total Recall' with Arnold Schwarzenegger? Their goal? World domination, of course!!
