Today I learned that the flag pole with low enough health with zerker and iron man one shots every normal cop uncharged and charged can kill tazers in one hit.

The Rosetta probe has successfully landed on Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko. It didn't secure itself properly, however, and wound up bouncing, placing it in a possibly unstable location with less than ideal sunlight. Here're some of the pictures from the probe. XKCD had a cute little play-by-play comic about it. You can see all of the panels here It's a mindblowing achievement, given the distances involved. It will be interesting to see what they make of the situation.

An hour of work after, I have a shiny new wallpaper!   Spoiler

g-get wrekt n-nerd I don't have any RC stuff myself, although I do have access to several labs full of very expensive high tech toys. I should make a thread about those. I do want to try an Airsoft gun sometime, though.

He looks like a Ben 10 alien Wonder how the release arcana will be

Wait, Windows 8/8.1, then Windows 10? Does not compute. Maybe 7 8 9?

Why are you linking Kotaku? Are you literally Hitler?

You should be able to restore it by downloading the drivers onto another machine, loading them onto a flash drive, copying them onto the laptop, and installing them there. What's your laptop brand/model? That should help pin down the version you need. Also, I presume this is an issue with getting on the Internet wirelessly. You should be able to plug your computer directly into a router with an Ethernet cable, although that hinges on your laptop actually having an Ethernet port.

There are still heroes left in man

We have to make sure there aren't any space nazis hiding on it

Well, we don't really actually know all that much about the actual composition of comets. They're not quite asteroids-aka big balls of rock or metal. They're sometimes described as big space snowballs, which while being a gross oversimplification is kinda close to the mark. But besides that, we didn't even know if we could even land on a comet until yesterday-there were worries that the probe would simply sink into the surface, or any other number of catastrophic events. Now that Philae's up and running, we're going to get so much stuff about what makes these things work. Like Kay said, it was also practice for other things. The probe carried an experimental harpoon landing system. Basically you fire at the object and reel yourself in with it. I don't think it actually worked (I believe it failed to fire?) but it's an idea that's been suggested to use when landing on smaller bodies. Remember, shit like asteroids or comets have negligible gravity, so even if we can get into an orbit around one, that doesn't necessarily mean that landing is going to be easy (or even possible) with the aid of what little gravity there is. This is a system designed to land and attach probes (and maybe eventually spacecraft) in situations where you can't trust the object you're landing on to keep you stuck to itself.

  They launched this sucker 10 and a half fucking years ago. It was expected to land within 500 meters of the designated landing zone. It landed within 50 meters.   Fucking science.
