Meteorite Hits Girl

Posted by chrisd on from the hopefully-not-a-prologue dept.

redcliffe writes "The BBC has a story about a 14 year old North Yorkshire girl who was hit, on the foot, by a meteorite. Where's Bruce Willis when you need him?" The young Miss Carlton notes: "This does not happen that often in Northallerton"; no doubt the City of York is where most meteorites land.

    Ok, she's only 14.. She might eventually grow into that chin.

  3. This was my nightmare. . . by MyHair · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I had a dream a couple of nights ago about a meteorite crashing through the roof of my room and smashing my server right through the RAID array.

    Now I'm going to have more nightmares . . .

    Well, at least the meteorite in my dream didn't hit the tape backups 6" away from my server. I would've only lost a few hours of data.

    I love tweaking things, and I switched back from Linux to Windows XP. I would like to try OSX, but obviously its not available for x86. Why can't someone figure out a decent UI for a linux distro? Mandrake is supposed to be the most "user-friendly," and its just a mess. Yes the installer it has is very spiffy, but that doesn't excuse all of the other horrible UI elements.

    Coming soon: The linux distro with a usable desktop, and reasonably intuitive file explorer... 8-O
