DustStorm in Mars

Susan brings me this nice little dust devil !!

dust devil in Gusev Crater

At first, the rover team relied on luck. It might catch a dust devil in an image or it might miss by a few minutes. Using the new detection strategy, the rover takes a series of 21 images. Spirit sends a few of them to Earth, as well as little thumbnail images of all of them. Team members use the 3 big images and all the small images to decide whether the additional big images have dust devils. For this movie, they specifically told Spirit to send back frames that they knew had dust devils.

Update : Susan sez I steal her Image , therefore I am leaving her pix totally visable for ALL to see.  How Can I be stealing something, when its still on her server ?  The discourse is available here. Note, Full attribution has been given to Susan on my orignal post. 

However, if one were to  link into Flicker Image's set , its just about ok eh ??  I mean after all Flicker images are not stolen and anyone can hog the bandwidth there..correct ?? 

Nope,  I am fairly tolerate person and I don't really think that there is slander in Susans Image and calling me a thief .. I have been called worse :)-

I wonder what Scobles thinks of this .. after all he is hoggin 2.6% Susan's bandwidth via his link blog. Anyhoot that what she sez !!

hey there! I'm investigating my server logs and am looking for hijacking... i.e., people who serve my images from their sites. I know you link to me and all, but I would prefer it if you didn't insert images from my site onto yours. I get the bandwidth hit when ever anyone loads your web page. Please stop. (Go ahead and save the image to your own server and serve it yourself. It's NASA stuff, tho I altered it.)

If I can succeed in following through all the motions, I'll be setting up an auto-redirect that'll substitute a "stop-thief!" image in the future. For those who simply steal I don't mind changing their sites without advance notice, but I consider you a "friendly" and so am saying this in your comments.

Cheers,

Susan

Susan, updated my postings. Not problem I can live with the 'stolen attriubtion' -- have been called worse names before :)-

nope, I an't harbouring a grudge with you on this. Just thought it would be funny to keep your image and still steal so more bandwidth from you :0-
