A Supernova In Red/Blue Plaid, Please
Snotnose writes "The New York Times is reporting that scientists have found a a supernova factory . From the article, scientists estimated that the cluster alone, which contains up to a million stars, probably produces a supernova once every two years. That is a rate 50 times higher than usual in entire galaxies. Stars explode in Earth's home galaxy, the Milky Way, only once in a century.. Sounds pretty awesome.

FP!
Who dat?
First post?
So those are where Saddam has been directing his WMD efforts -- he has moved into the realm of space-based nuclear weapons. No wonder why we couldn't find any on Earth -- they were in space all along.
We must put a stop to this once and for all.
Thank you and God bless America.

is that there is solid evidence that the supernova factory is run by kathy lee gifford and that it is staffed by poor alien children who work in filthy conditions and only earn $0.37 a day
yay globalism (er, universalism)
Getting pretty sick of these New York Times articles. I don't want to register to get plagiarized/fabricated news, thanks.
This registering to be a "user" of the NYTimes website just to read a single little clipping gets on my nerves!!!
it works for sum.

Joozian 2: Yeah, suck my jagon! Joozian 1: [stops and releases] Yeah! Now you suck on my jagon! [the second Joozian begins to suck on his jagon] Oh yeah!! Stick your finger in my thrusher! [the second Joozian begins putting his finger into some openings above the first Joozian's waist] Oh yeah, suck it. Suck that jagon! [the boys show more interest and some astonishment] Stan: Dude, I have no idea what we're seeing right now, but I have a feeling it's really, really wrong. [Kenny whips out a camera and takes a picture] Joozian 1: [the other Joozian continues sucking on his jagon] Oh yes!! Oh yeah yeahyeah! Oh yeah!
Sometimes also known as "my willy".
Seriously, though, what keeps this stuff going? Are all the existing stars around the same age? They must be constantly regenerating to cause all these big booms.
It would be cool if I could blow myself up, then have all my molecules whirl back together to regenerate me. That would be a trip.
There's something fascinating about explosive gaseous objects (sometimes also known as "my grandpa").

I submitted this TWO DAYS AGO and they didn't post it. This is BS.
Oh, I see, I must have used one of the 1,000 free stories(GoogleNewsSupernovaFactory) instead of the NYT log-in crap.
Does it run linux? ...huh?
This post is several fold more interesting, articulate, and relevant than everything I've read on Slashdot in the past year at LEAST...

Supernovae or not... I enjoyed reading this more than anything else.
That was a great read. Screw the supernova and mod this up.
Better than your average troll.. and I hate eminem :)
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. It's just that yours is stupid.
You know, it really doesn't make sense for that to be moderated higher than the post to which it was responding.

Every year during my review, I just pray the words "slashdot.org" aren't mentioned.
