    flowerp writes "Any serious astronomer would declare you insane if you mounted your off-the-shelf CCD webcam to a telescope in order to watch the skies, but there is a group on the Internet who do just that! They call themselves QCUIAG (QuickCam and Unconventional Imaging Astronomy Group). If you think those are just some crazy nerds, watch their astounding footage of planets and nebulae - and reconsider."

    Maschendrahtzaun writes "After the green chameleon has been the mascot of the SuSE Linux AG for such a long time, we finally want to give it a name. We are therefore announcing a name competition for our chameleon.

    The competition will begin in New York at the Linux World, which was staged Feb. 1, 2000 through Feb. 4; the final decision will be revealed at the CeBIT 2000, at the end of of February 2000 in Hanover. From all suggestions which we receive SuSE will select the most funny or best fitting ones, which will be presented to the public on our Web site. From these suggestions the public will then be able to choose the winning name. One of the suppliers of the name which gets the most votes will be invited by SuSE to the largest European Linux event, the "LinuxTag in Stuttgart". SuSE will also draw further winners from the hat, who'll receive a current version of SuSE Linux as well as the newly-named cuddly green chameleon. " Ya know, 'Rob' has a nice ring to it...
