Major Meteor Shower Next Weekend
IronClad writes: "By some reports, the annual Leonid meteor shower should be the best show in decades, and possibly until 2099. With meteors peaking November 17-18, and particularly over the Pacific, now is the time to check the predicted local meteor flux and buy chips for those star parties. Anyone adding a wireless hub and laptops for a star+lan party?"
Let's have some fun.. who can guess which show this was in?
Nerd 2: Or we can watch Ms. Johnson shower..
Nerd 1: And you call yourself a scientist!
XML is like violence. If it doesn't solve the problem, use more.
Hey, while we're out watching the meteors, I bet the /. crew will be trying to figure out how many copies of the same article they can dish out!
C'mon guys, this is like what, 10 repeats in 2 weeks? It's getting ridiculous. Do you read any of these comments or what?
Heh... I'm waiting for the bath.
Rub-a-dub dub mates.
Does this mean Osama and his buddies are going to dress up in purple sheets and Nikes and off themselves?
I love metor showers!

Waaa Waaaaaa CRYYY!!! How about Western Kansas?? DSL is very very expensive. Most people haven't even heard of cable internet; in fact we just recently got digital cable service for tv. Cable internet is still a few years off. All that we common folk have :'(
for internet is dial up modems. Even if our ISP is 56k compliant, we still cant get the 48800 or 49333 speeds like we shoudl, no our phone company is still in the stone age so most phone lines around can't handle the load so we get stuck with 28800 as our max bps. I called the phone company and they too said it would be a few years before they updated around here, basicly said we live out in BFE and they have to take care of the big city whiners who think their cable internet service is tooooo sloooowwwwww waaaaaaaaaaa!!! i really (sniff) cry (sniff) every time i hear someone complain about shitty cable
