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?"

  3. Tips on spotting meteroites by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Try and get as close to the metorite as you can. Yes, in space if you have to.

    Burn your eyeballs using a heated needle. That way you will be able to see the meteorite better.

    Damage your brain by tearing out chunks of your skull to expose the brain, then use knifes or anything else sharp to cut out a few bits and bobs. That way you can see the meterors on a different plane of conciousness.

    Jump off a cliff, maybe you can float up to heaven and see the meteorites on your way.

    Use Instant Teleportation to rid the metorites, then use a Kame Hame Ha @ on the earth for fun :P

    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 :'(
