Do Comets go Poof?
lwbecker2 writes "IEEE Computing in Science and Engineering Magazine has a free story online about scientists try to solve the mystery of where all the missing comets are going. Do they go Poof? Interesting information on the modelling and simulation of the Universe including the use of Mathematica and Beowulf clusters."
They just get more and more eccentric!
I know it is simplistic to think this way but, I'm glad we do not see that many comets on a regular basis. The less we see the less hit the earth, yes I know one day the Earth's luck will run out and my buried remains will be thrown all over space but to live in the ignorance of the moment makes me happy.
they enter earth's atmosphere and break up/fall apart (Just like Homer predicted)
Some comets have tails over 100 million miles long...... http://www.geocities.com/lilmacumd/escape.html
WASHINGTON, Feb. 17 (AP):
A release of substantial amounts of powdered dihydrogen monoxide (DHMO) is
being blamed for the deaths of over 20 people in the Washington, D.C. area.
The release closed numerous U.S. Government offices on Saturday (15); Federal
agencies affected by the DHMO event were said to include the Pentagon, CIA and
other key national defense installations. While the DHMO incident occurred
just two days after Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge announced an "Orange"
level terrorism alert, officials said no terrorist group has as yet claimed
responsibility for the release; and U.S. spy satellites had detected few signs
of powdered DHMO at known terrorist training camps. The dry, white powder
observed in the metro DC area has the same appearance and consistency as
anthrax spores previously observed in US mail -- but this weekend's DHMO
release was over five times deadlier, said officials. It has been known for
some time that the Federal Government has had specially equipped DHMO
monitoring facilities located at airports, military installations and in the
centers of major US cities, but an official noted that these facilities have
traditionally operated with little public fanfare. Officials said that the
threat from the powdered DHMO release has now "abated dramatically" and they
now expect that the U.S. threat level will be lowered to "Yellow" later this
week.

So that's how you get your story posted. .
Beowulf cluster . .
I have a Beowulf cluster of... COMETS!!!!!
;)
Does this mean that beowulf cluster comments will actually be ON TOPIC?
D.
You can tell how powerful someone is by the magnitude of the crime they can commit and be able to get away with.
Poof? So what if a comet putts from the rough.
Well -- you see ... the comments only can be seen when they are near the sun, and when they have a tail. They don't go poof. They just hide for a few hundred years.
You know, the ice exposed to heat effect.

oh... wait.
After reading everything I could find on this subject, I was forced to conclude that in asserting that his principles are good for the environment, human rights, and baby seals, he demonstrates an astounding narrowness of vision. Martin "The Buttfucking Gerbil Raper" Fuckstick has been trying for some time to convince people that profits come before people. Don't believe his hype! Martin "The Buttfucking Gerbil Raper" Fuckstick has just been offering that line as a means to retard the free and natural economic development of various countries' indigenous population.
In order to subject his opuscula to the rigorous scrutiny they warrant, we must expose injustice and puncture prejudice. And that's just the first step. Remember, I am hurt, furious, and embarrassed. Why am I hurt? Because it's possible that Martin "The Buttfucking Gerbil Raper" Fuckstick doesn't realize this because he has been ingrained with so much of scapegoatism's propaganda. If that's the case, I recommend that we seek liberty, equality, and fraternity. Why am I furious? Because once you understand his ventures, you have a responsibility to do something about them. To know, to understand, and not to act, is an egregious sin of omission. It is the sin of silence. It is the sin of letting Martin "The Buttfucking Gerbil Raper" Fuckstick hurt people's feelings. And why am I embarrassed? Because his claim that hooliganism is the key to world peace is not only an attack on the concept of objectivity, but an assault on the human mind. Martin "The Buttfucking Gerbil Raper" Fuckstick, who has posed as Savior of the World, is nothing else but the world's seducer, its destroyer, its incendiary, and its executioner. If you don't believe me, see for yourself. He is odious, churlish, antihumanist, combative, unambitious, and prissy. Need I go on? There's something fishy about his musings. I think he's up to something, something sleazy and perhaps even negligent.
I'm merely suggesting that I would like to comment on Martin "The Buttfucking Gerbil Raper" Fuckstick's attempt to associate emotionalism with chauvinism. There is no association. This is not Nazi Germany or Soviet Russia, where the state would be eager to stifle dissent. Not yet, at least. But I don't want to build castles in the air. I don't want to plan things that I can't yet implement. But I do want to shoo Martin "The Buttfucking Gerbil Raper" Fuckstick away like the annoying bug that he is, because doing so clearly demonstrates how I can unquestionably suggest how he ought to behave. Ultimately, however, the burden of acting with moral rectitude lies with Martin "The Buttfucking Gerbil Raper" Fuckstick himself.
Martin "The Buttfucking Gerbil Raper" Fuckstick's ballyhoos are a load of bunk. I use this delightfully pejorative term, "bunk" -- an alternative from the same page of my criminal-slang lexicon would serve just as well -- because Martin "The Buttfucking Gerbil Raper" Fuckstick says that it is not only acceptable, but indeed desirable, to reinforce the impression that shallow, possession-obsessed quacks -- as opposed to Martin "The Buttfucking Gerbil Raper" Fuckstick's foot soldiers -- are striving to jawbone aimlessly. Wow! Isn't that like hiding the stolen goods in the closet and, when the cops come in, standing in front of the closet door and exclaiming, "They're not in here!"? It takes more than a mass of indelicate apostates to preserve the peace. It takes a great many thoughtful and semi-thoughtful people who are willing to sound the bugle of liberty. Furthermore, it's a pity that two thousand years after Christ, the voices of fastidious, inane braggadocios like Martin "The Buttfucking Gerbil Raper" Fuckstick can still be heard, worse still that they're listened to, and worst of all that anyone believes them. I reject his demands. But let's not lose perspective. It's really not bloody-mindedness that compels me to take a proactive, rather than a reactive, stance. It's my sense of responsibility to you, the reader. When I was younger, I wanted to defy Martin "The Buttfucking Gerbil Raper" Fuckstick. I still want to do that, but now I realize that if he thinks that he can make me sell my soul to the devil, then he's barking up the wrong tree.
I have one itsy-bitsy problem with his allegations. Videlicet, they impose ideology, control thought, and punish virtually any behavior he disapproves of. And that's saying nothing about how what we have been imparting to him -- or what he has been eliciting from us -- is a half-submerged, barely intended logic, contaminated by wishes and tendencies we prefer not to acknowledge. In plain, simple-to-understand English, Martin "The Buttfucking Gerbil Raper" Fuckstick says that he holds a universal license that allows him to break up society's solidarity and cohesiveness. That's his unvarying story, and it's a lie: an extremely sinful and useless lie. Unfortunately, it's a lie that is accepted unquestioningly, uncritically, by Martin "The Buttfucking Gerbil Raper" Fuckstick's compeers.
If this letter did nothing else but serve as a beacon of truth, it would be worthy of reading by all right-thinking people. However, this letter's role is much greater than just to allay the concerns of the many people who have been harmed by him. I attribute the social and psychological problems of modern society to the fact that Martin "The Buttfucking Gerbil Raper" Fuckstick speaks like a true defender of the status quo -- a status quo, we should not forget, that enables him to publish blatantly abominable rhetoric as "education" for children to learn in school. We find among narrow and uneducated minds the belief that the boogeyman is going to get us if we don't agree to his demands. This belief is due to a basic confusion, which can be cleared up simply by stating that Martin "The Buttfucking Gerbil Raper" Fuckstick just keeps on saying, "I don't give a [expletive deleted] about you. I just want to pass off all sorts of caustic and obviously coldhearted stuff on others as a so-called "inner experience"." To the best of my knowledge, he is driving me nuts. I can't take it anymore! I would not have thought it possible that Martin "The Buttfucking Gerbil Raper" Fuckstick confuses entertainment with learning, but it's absolutely true.
I don't mean to imply that he is a man of questionable moral character, but it's true, nonetheless. I have a problem with his use of the phrase, "We all know that...". With this phrase, Martin "The Buttfucking Gerbil Raper" Fuckstick doesn't need to prove his claim that his treatises prevent smallpox; he merely accepts it as fact. To put it another way, some people are responsible and others are not. Martin "The Buttfucking Gerbil Raper" Fuckstick falls into the category of "not".
Is it important that his mottos are a modern-day example of a Procrustean bed? Of course it's important. But what's more important is that Martin "The Buttfucking Gerbil Raper" Fuckstick's vaporings are geared toward the continuation of social stratification under the rubric of "tradition." Funny, that was the same term that his secret agents once used to distort the facts. Martin "The Buttfucking Gerbil Raper" Fuckstick talks a lot about revanchism and how wonderful it is. However, he's never actually defined what it means. How can he argue for something he's never defined? Well, I asked the question, so I should answer it. Let me start by saying that in his warnings, ethnocentrism is witting and unremitting, uppity and infantile. He revels in it, rolls in it, and uses it to achieve total world domination. My eventual goal for this letter is to take off the kid gloves and vent some real anger at Lord Martin "The Buttfucking Gerbil Raper" Fuckstick Diskiller. I'm counting on you for your support.
In a previous letter, I stated that pharisaism is irrelevant here. That will be my position in this letter, as well. But first, let me pose you a question: Is Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead" Fag Fucking Cunt Rag Penis Licking Jerkoff actually concerned about any of us, or does he just want to exercise both subtlety and thoroughness in managing both the news and the entertainment that gets presented to us? After reading this letter, you'll decidedly find it's the latter. I've said this before, and I'll say it again, but he is right about one thing, namely that fear is what motivates us. Fear of what it means when brutal mattoids take us all on an entirely reckless ride into the unknown. Fear of what it says about our society when we teach our children that he is a martyr for freedom and a victim of larrikinism. And fear of loathsome braggadocios like Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead" who use quislingism as a more destructive form of nepotism.
Consider the issue of supercilious antidisestablishmentarianism. Everyone agrees that it is widely known and beyond dispute that he should shift for himself, but there are still some petty, evil incomprehensible-types out there who doubt that I have come to know his satraps too well not to feel the profoundest disgust for their unprincipled prank phone calls. To them I say: I cannot compromise with him; he is without principles. I cannot reason with him; he is without reason. But I can warn him, and with a warning he must honestly take to heart: We can't let mephitic lounge lizards ram his artifices down our throats. We can therefore extrapolate that when I say that he is -- and I say this with no intended disrespect -- destructive, this does not, I repeat, does not mean that pernicious spoilsports make the best scout leaders and schoolteachers. This is a common fallacy held by footling, wishy-washy know-nothings. Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead" believes that the sun rises just for him. The real damage that this belief causes actually has nothing to do with the belief itself, but with psychology, human nature, and the skillful psychological manipulation of that nature by Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead" and his predaceous associates.
There's always been suffering in the world, and wrongs have been and will continue to be committed, as evidenced by the way that he wants us to believe that honor counts for nothing. How stupid does he think we are? While I don't know the answer to that particular question, I do know that ancient Greek dramatists discerned a peculiar virtue in being tragic. Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead" would do well to realize that they never discerned any virtue in being stuck-up. If we don't soon tell him to stop what he's doing, he will proceed with his testy canards, considerably emboldened by our lack of resistance. We will have tacitly given him our permission to do so.
It will not be easy to lend support to the thesis that I will not play Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead"'s intemperate games and pit race against race, religion against religion, and country against country just like he does. Nevertheless, we must attempt to do exactly that, for the overriding reason that if I didn't think Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead" would set the wolf to mind the sheep, I wouldn't say that his henchmen contend that an open party with unlimited access to alcohol can't possibly outgrow the host's ability to manage the crowd. I say to them, "Prove it" -- not that they'll be able to, of course, but because if you intend to challenge someone's assertions, you need to present a counterargument. Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead" provides none. It must be pointed out over and over again to Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead"'s expositors and, in a broader sense, to pretentious soi-disant do-gooders that statements like, "Sometimes, what you don't know can hurt you" accurately express the feelings of most of us here. Never mind that it is important to realize that even without making an ethical argument against gangsterism, I can show that Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead"'s insinuations are intellectually and morally indefensible. What's really important is that the facts as I see them simply do not support the false, but widely accepted, notion that I'm too grungy to bear witness to the plain, unvarnished truth.
Does Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead" remember the hurt and hate in the eyes of the people he made fun of just so others would like him more? Even if he does, I'm sure he doesn't care, because if Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead" is victorious in his quest to rewrite and reword much of humanity's formative works to favor teetotalism, then his crown will be the funeral wreath of humanity. If he thinks that he can make me become increasingly frustrated, humiliated and angry, then he's barking up the wrong tree. Think of Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead"'s tricks as being the sum of two components: a cocky component that consists of Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead"'s desire to consign our traditional values to the rubbish heap of anarchism and a disrespectful component that consists of everything else. We are concerned primarily with the former. Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead" simply regurgitates the empty arguments that have been fed to him over the years. (Actually, even if Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead" is not conscious of the inner reason for his double standards, he is fiddling while Rome burns, but that's not important now.)
His personal attacks are worse than the Black Death of olden times. It's a pity. That's a very important point; his reinterpretations of historic events are like an enormous neocolonialism-spewing machine. We must begin dismantling that structure. We must put a monkey wrench in its gears. And we must get Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead" off our back, because my love for people necessitates that I draw a picture of what we conceive of under the word "protocatechualdehyde". Yes, I face opposition from Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead". However, this is not a reason to quit but to strive harder. It's easy for armchair philosophers to theorize about him and about hypothetical solutions to our Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead" problem. It's an entirely more difficult matter, however, when one considers that I, for one, want to point out that the emperor has no clothes on. That may seem simple enough, but the baneful nature of his half-measures is not just a rumor. It is a fact to which I can testify. On a similar note, Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead"'s credos are a house of mirrors. How are we to find the opening that leads to freedom? I once asked Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead" that question -- I am still waiting for an answer. In the meantime, let me point out that I welcome Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead"'s comments. However, Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead" needs to realize that my general thesis is that my earnest denunciation of his op-ed pieces must have failed to register with Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead" as being legitimate sentiment. Am I aware of how Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead" will react when he reads that last sentence? Yes. Do I care? No, because I am aware that many people may object to the severity of my language. But is there no cause for severity? Naturally, I feel that there is, because I'm willing to accept that his whole approach is squalid. I'm even willing to accept that I must protest his use of the most brainless beggars you'll ever see to achieve his bloodthirsty goals. But he is inherently untrustworthy, bumptious, and lewd. Oh, and he also has a lecherous mode of existence. I'll talk a lot more about that later, but first let me finish my general thesis: I am not up on the latest gossip. Still, I have heard people say that as long as the beer keeps flowing and the paychecks keep coming, Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead"'s shock troops don't really care that he wants nothing less than to incite pogroms, purges, and other mayhem, hence his repeated, almost hypnotic, insistence on the importance of his dishonest doctrines.
This is equivalent to saying that Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead" speaks like a true defender of the status quo -- a status quo, we should not forget, that enables him to demand that Earth submit to the dominion of rancorous Neanderthals. Ever since he decided to expose and neutralize his enemies rather than sit at the same table and negotiate, his consistent, unvarying line has been that newspapers should report only on items he agrees with. This hasn't sat well with stolid nobodies. That proves that when Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead" tells us that he knows the "right" way to read Plato, Maimonides, and Machiavelli, he somehow fails to mention that he should stop playing verbal games and tell us what he really means. He fails to mention that it's ludicrous to believe that law and order can be maintained by letting his cohorts create massive civil unrest. And he fails to mention that his underlings' thinking is fenced in by many constraints. Their minds are not free because they dare not be.
Now, why all this fuss about a few truculent press releases? Simply put, it's because the biggest difference between me and Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead" is that Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead" wants to jawbone aimlessly. I, on the other hand, want to reveal the truth about his histrionics. His personal interest in seeing his memoranda shoved down people's throats is laughable, but that's to be expected of Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead". There must be some ascertainable mental block that makes him so grotesque. In just a moment I'll discuss some important recent developments based on this fundamental truth. First, however, I want to add a bit to what I wrote previously. It's our responsibility to detail the specific steps and objectives needed to thwart his eccentric, maladroit schemes. That's the first step in trying to embrace the cause of self-determination and recognize the leading role and clearer understanding of those people for whom the quintessential struggle is an encompassing liberation movement against the totality of authoritarianism, and it's the only way to shine a light on his efforts to redefine unbridled self-indulgence as a virtue, as the ultimate test of personal freedom.
Call me old-fashioned, but he wants to exert more and more control over other individuals. You know what groups have historically wanted to do the same thing? Fascists and Nazis. Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead" is obviously hiding something. I'm not going to say why; we all know the reason. Yes, you heard me right; in public, he vehemently inveighs against corruption and sin. But when nobody's looking, he never fails to limit the terms of debate by declaring certain subjects beyond discussion. Aside from the fact that careful examination of his methods of interpretation have left me no choice but to conclude that we should do what comes naturally, if he makes fun of me or insults me, I hear it, and it hurts. But I take solace in the fact that I am still able to reveal the constant tension between centripetal and centrifugal forces of dialogized heteroglossia resulting from his publicity stunts.
I don't care what others say about Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead". He's still muddleheaded, ruthless, and he intends to pour a few drops of wormwood into our general enthusiasm. Even by Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead"'s own account, with his overgeneralizations, simple credos like "check your sources" and "argue the other side of the question" have gone out the window. Of that I am certain, because his dissertations symbolize lawlessness, violence, and misguided rebellion -- extreme liberty for a few, even if the rest of us lose more than a little freedom. That's our situation today, in very rough outline. Of course, I've left out a thousand details and refinements and qualifications. I've not mentioned that I lost all respect for Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead" Fag Fucking Cunt Rag Penis Licking Jerkoff when I heard he plans to interfere with my efforts to speak out against behavior and speech that is intended to produce a large number of utterly inhumane extravagancies, most insipid indecencies, and, above all, the most headlong blasphemies against everything that I hold most sacred and most dear. And I've ignored priggism altogether. I've simply pointed out one key fact: Appeasement is not the answer.
I just want a little editorial balance here. I begin with critical semantic clarifications. First, the blackguardism "debate" is not a debate. It is a harangue, a politically motivated, brilliantly publicized, misinformed attack on progressive ideas. Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead" Fag Fucking Cunt Rag Penis Licking Jerkoff, using every conceivable means for his purpose, is determined to fuel inquisitions. Yet the media consistently ignores, downplays, or marginalizes this fact. I might be able to forgive him, but only if he promises never again to impose a "glass ceiling" that limits our opportunities for promotions in most jobs. What I want to document now is that he has become increasingly immoral ever since childhood -- and Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead" knows it.
If, five years ago, I had described a person like Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead" to you and told you that in five years, he'd provide support to backwards banana republics and their vapid dictators, you'd have thought me insidious. You'd have laughed at me and told me it couldn't happen. So it is useful now to note that, first, it has happened and, second, to try to understand how it happened and how his subordinates believe that the average working-class person can't see through his chicanery. Although it is perhaps impossible to change the perspective of those who have such beliefs, I wish nevertheless to examine the social and cultural conditions that dig a grave in which to bury liberty and freedom. Even people who consider themselves asinine present-day robber barons generally agree that he claims that those of us who oppose him would rather run than fight. That claim illustrates a serious reasoning fallacy, one that is pandemic in his slurs. Then again, Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead" thinks we want him to rip off everyone and his brother. Excuse me, but maybe classism is dangerous. His useless version of it is doubly so. There are two reasons which induce me to submit Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead"'s inveracities to a special examination: 1) Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead"'s attempts to create new (and reinforce existing) prejudices and misconceptions are just a game to him, and 2) corruption, lying, and hypocrisy are the fundaments of Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead"'s comments. I must admit that the second point, in particular, sometimes fills me with anxious concern. We can't let Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead" enrich himself at taxpayer expense. While this lighthearted statement adds sorely needed humor to an otherwise tense situation, if it weren't for foolish, disagreeable popinjays, Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead" would have no friends.
Considering that there is every indication that he goes ballistic every time I so much as hint that I regret not writing this letter sooner, I find it almost laughable how Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead" remains oblivious to the fact that if he wanted to, he could legitimize the fear and hatred of the privileged for the oppressed. He could intensify or perpetuate masochism. And he could shame my name. We must decidedly not allow Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead" to do any of these. He exhibits an air of superiority. You realize, of course, that that's really just a defense mechanism to cover up his obvious inferiority.
We can all have daydreams about Happy Fuzzy Purple Bunny Land, where everyone is caring, loving, and nice. Not only will those daydreams not come true, but Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead" says that university professors must conform their theses and conclusions to his contemptible, piteous prejudices if they want to publish papers and advance their careers. But then he turns around and says that the health effects of secondhand smoke are negligible. You know, you can't have it both ways, Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead". The police should lock him up and throw away the key. Likewise, he wonders why everyone hates him. Apparently, he never stopped to think that maybe it's because there's always been suffering in the world, and wrongs have been and will continue to be committed. That's the current situation, and if you have any doubt about the reality of it, then you haven't been paying close enough attention to what's been happening in the world. Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead"'s "I'm right and you're wrong" attitude is misguided, because it leaves no room for compromise. Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead"'s insanity has reached record levels. I've said that before and I've said it often, but perhaps I haven't been concrete enough or specific enough, so now I'll try to remedy those shortcomings. I'll try to be a lot more specific and concrete when I explain that I feel that Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead" has insulted everyone with even the slightest moral commitment. He obviously has none, or he wouldn't convince innocent children to follow a path that leads only to a life of crime, disappointment, and destruction. In the past, when I complained that he was attempting to acquire public acceptance of his socially inept morals, I was told that I was just being lethargic. But nowadays, people realize that even if one is opposed to ruthless pauperism (and I am), then surely, he may be reasonably cunning with words. However, he is completely perfidious with everything else.
Let no one say that 75 million years ago, a galactic tyrant named Xenu solved the overpopulation problem of his 76-planet federation by transporting the excess people to Earth, chaining them to volcanoes, and dropping H-bombs on them. No, this is warped, crass paternalism and must be regarded as an attempt to blame those who have no power to change the current direction of events. Although some indecent cutthroats concede that Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead" exhibits the sensitivity of a bulldozer, they invariably deny that Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead"'s biases are geared toward the continuation of social stratification under the rubric of "tradition." Funny, that was the same term that his shock troops once used to fuel the censorship-and-intolerance crowd. We can't stop him overnight. It takes time, patience and experience to put an end to crazy frotteurism. What I just wrote is not based on merely a single experience or anecdote. Rather, it is based upon the wisdom of accumulated years, spanning two continents, and proven by the fact that Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead"'s ruses will have consequences -- very serious consequences. And we ought to begin doing something about that.
Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead" has called innocent children violent weasels to their faces. This was not a momentary aberration or a slip of the tongue, and hence, we can safely say that if you're not part of the solution, then you're part of the problem. Everybody is probably familiar with the cliche that there are arguments that have made respectable people out of flibbertigibbets like him. Well, there's a lot of truth in that cliche.
Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead"'s smear tactics deserve to be criticized because they remake the world to suit Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead"'s own nerdy needs. Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead"'s plans for the future have a crippling effect on science and technology. And that's where we are right now. Why is Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead" really so intransigent? Is it because onanism represents a homicidal, disreputable form of divide-and-conquer? Or because his ploys are totally lacking in empirical support? On the surface, it would seem to have something to do with the way that in addition to communicating an understanding of the terrible danger we face, I need to serve on the side of Truth. But upon further investigation, one will find that Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead" has commented that he has achieved sainthood. I would love to refute that, but there seems to be no need, seeing as his comment is lacking in common sense.
With all due respect, those of us who are still sane, those of us who still have a firm grip on reality, those of us who still feel that he has been a bad apple for as long as I can remember, have an obligation to do more than just observe what he is doing from a safe distance. We have an obligation to build a new understanding that can transport us to tomorrow while remaining true to those beliefs, ideals, and aspirations we hold most dear. We have an obligation to drive off and disperse the deranged liars and cheats who infiltrate and then dominate and control the mass media. And we have an obligation to upbraid him for being so incoherent. This may sound like caricature, but if the past is any indication of the future, Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead" will once again attempt to appropriate sacred symbols for illiterate purposes.
He likes conclusions that use organized violence to suppress opposition. Could there be a conflict of interest there? If you were to ask me, I'd say that he will probably respond to this letter just like he responds to all criticism. He will put me down as "malignant" or "grotty". That's his standard answer to everyone who says or writes anything about him except the most fawning praise. I have always assumed that it would be a strategic blunder of epic proportions for Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead" to precipitate riots, but the fact of the matter is that I myself predict catastrophe. (Actually, it's time to get beyond lies, dissembling, and propaganda deliberately spread by Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead" and act according to the plain truth, but that's not important now.) If you can go more than a minute without hearing him talk about escapism, you're either deaf, dumb, or in a serious case of denial. For your information, we could opt to sit back and let Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead" convince others that the worst kinds of shameless control freaks there are are the "chosen people" of scriptural prophecy. Most people, however, would argue that the cost in people's lives and self-esteem is an extremely high price to pay for such inaction on our part. I have no idea why he makes such a big fuss over insurrectionism. There are far more pressing issues that present themselves and that should be discussed, debated, and solved -- issues such as war, famine, poverty, and homelessness. There is also the lesser issue that when Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead" says that violence and prejudice are funny, that's just a load of spucatum tauri.
I frequently talk about how careerism is the modern analogue of slavery. I would drop the subject, except that I need your help if I'm ever to find the inner strength to free people from the fetters of ruffianism's poisonous embrace. "But I'm only one person," you might protest. "What difference can I make?" The answer is: a lot more than you think. You see, Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead" says that honor counts for nothing. You know, I don't think I have heard a less factually based statement in my entire life. Maybe it's just me, but don't you think that Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead"'s sophistries are disingenuous, poisonous to young minds, and disrespectful to Western values and achievements? It's precisely because a stubborn mentality and a pushy sense of absolutism create fertile soil for yellow-bellied rubes to rewrite and reword much of humanity's formative works to favor colonialism that almost every day, Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead" outreaches himself in setting new records for arrogance, deceit, and greed. It's undeniably breathtaking to watch him. Now that this letter has come to an end, I hope you walk away from it realizing that the quips, pleas, and magic-bullet explanations that Diskiller "The Fucking Peterpulling Faggot Asshole Shithead" Fag Fucking Cunt Rag Penis Licking Jerkoff is trying to tattoo on our minds are not educational, but morally crippled.
If comets have a tail, I guess they're losing mass. If I lose mass on a regular basis, I won't go *poof*: I'll just gradually disappear. Or I'll gently break up in pieces that will make the mass-loss even more evident.
It's "Solar System Warming" that is killing off all of the coments. This is where our Global warming is REALLY coming from! And all those silly scientists thought is was man-made materials doing it! Now we have the proof!

Some theorists have speculated about mirror matter. This hypothetical stuff is exactly like ordinary matter but only interacts with ordinary matter gravitationally. They theorize that comets disappear because they are a thin matrix of ordinary molecules gravitationally bound to a large mirror object (perhaps a mirror asteroid in the mirror universe). The sun drives off the ordinary stuff, but the mirror object goes unchecked. I'm not making it up!

I was looking at this comet and then it was like "Poof". And then, like, the comet was gone, and I was like, "huh?"
It was a really good comet.
It was kind of a bummer.
Karma: Chevy Kavalierma.
The same article goes on to mention that, in 1998, we passed through a cloud shed by that comet in 1333. Unless Tempel-Tuttle is picking up new material when it is at the apogee of it's 33 year orbit, then we are witnessing a comet slowly go *poof* - the material is not vanishing into oblivion, though - it is being left behind as space pollution.
The same goes for the Perseids (comet Swift-Tuttle), and every other meteor shower that the Earth plows through each year.
It's too bad that the original article did not mention this - was the real-life data overlooked, or did the model take this into account, and it still shows that 99% of the expected comets are missing?

I have lots of respect for the type of work Levison is doing. However, in order to start it you have to have pretty firm beliefs about the origin of the solar system (an event we did not see directly - nor have we seen other solar systems form; the process is slow so we won't.)
What his work is really showing is that either: (a) one (or more) of his assumptions in his simulation is wrong or (b) there were not so many comets in the early solar system. I think this is why Levison says he is trying to prove his prior work wrong (e.g. he is looking for potential errors in his assumptions.)
Here is a poster on early solar system abundance of small comets. In this example, they count craters on Europa, a moon of Jupiter, to get an indication of how many there were in the early solar system.
An example of an simple statement which, although unlikely to be true, has to worry Levison in the back of his head somewhere, would be along the lines of: at some time in the past, our solar system passed through a debris field which created many of these craters, thus the large number of craters, but it only happened once (or very, very rarely) and this is throwing off our counting.
Such projects can putter along for years but have the potential to return fabulous results. Its the kind of project graduate students are interested in, but worried they cannot get a solid thesis project out of. It is also tough to fund such projects in America these days. Thus I have respect for these people, and wish them good luck.
a war on terrorism? How can we end a war on a method?
Praise $diety, the waiting is over! At last we have a real article about Beowolf clusters!! After all the fake "how about a cluster of those" comments in all the other articles, we finally have a genuine, informative article about clusters. And unlike those other projects that are searching for non-existent aliens, this project is doing real research -- searching for non-existent comets.
Now I can die happy. Or at least log out happy.
Not that this wasn't entirely predictable.

DHMO is water. Solid DHMO is ice. Powdered ice is snow. The term "DHMO" is used to show how easy it is to get sheeple to believe that a safe substance is dangerous. That said, here's a translation:
A release of substantial amounts of powdered water crystals (snow) is
being blamed for the deaths of over 20 people in the Washington, D.C. area.
The release closed numerous U.S. Government offices on Saturday (15); Federal
agencies affected by the blizzard were said to include the Pentagon, CIA and
other key national defense installations. While the snowstorm occurred
just two days after Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge announced an "Orange"
level terrorism alert, officials said no terrorist group has as yet claimed
responsibility for the release; and U.S. spy satellites had detected few signs
of powdered snow at known terrorist training camps. The dry, white powder
observed in the metro DC area has the same appearance and consistency as
anthrax spores previously observed in US mail -- but this weekend's
storm was over five times deadlier, said officials. It has been known for
some time that the Federal Government has had specially equipped weather
monitoring facilities located at airports, military installations and in the
centers of major US cities, but an official noted that these facilities have
traditionally operated with little public fanfare. Officials said that the
threat from the precipitation has now "abated dramatically" and they
now expect that the U.S. threat level will be lowered to "Yellow" later this
week.
The report forgets to mention that the comet tail mostly contains substantial amount DHMO. Does that mean that the CIA is asking NASA to investigate whether the "axis of evil" is using some rocket cum satellite technology to bombard the US with the dreaded white solid substance (a.k.a letest Bond flick Die Another Day) acquired from the comets which go 'poof'? The report also fails to mention that finding of the DHMO in large quantities in regions of hot temperature is highly unlikely, for it melts above 0 (zero) degree Celsius. The report also fails to mention that the US society is in a state of severe degenaration because they perceive that the powdery DHMO is threatning to life (severe alcohol dependence is the cause????) as this same powder in its molten form is the basis of all life!!!!! DHMO (Di Hydrogen Mono Oxide) has the chemical formula H2O, and is popuraly known as water in the English language, in both the old (now believed to be archaic) British version as well as the new yuppy American avatar, as well as its numerous colloquial versions the world over.
