Experts Recommend Keeping Hubble Operational

foolishtook writes " The New York Times is reporting that a panel of experts is recommending NASA to keep the Hubble Space Telescope operating past 2010 when its replacement, the James Webb Space Telescope, is currently slated for launch. NASA had stated that it wanted to bring the Hubble down in 2006 to make room in its budget for the Webb, but astronomers said that it still has a viable future and the launch date for the Webb is likely to be delayed."

    Okay, so this is offtopic, but it's funny! Read the headline at China Daily's website: Disgraced official highlights chinks in system. China has chinks in its government? You're kidding me!

    No, I fail it!!! I sux0r. If only I didn't sux0r so much, I might have a job and not love in momma's basement and could buy a real OS, instead of running the free garbage.

    And this free garbage is all I can afford, so I have to smugly point out that the commercial stuff sux0rs, even though I am running an 0wn3d distro from FSF. But I can't afford broadband, so I can't download good copies, and they probabyl aren't good anyway.

    Woe is me.

    Isn't that an insult to Edwin Hubble? I don't think that he would have liked that very much...

    What in the name of flaming hamsters are you babbeling about?

    Posted: Once it was in orbit, however, astronomers were devastated to discover that the telescope had a flawed mirror.

    No difference.

    when used in conjunction with the planet/population rescue initiative, formerly unknown as the oil for babies mandate.

    we think that 'eXPert' moniker is bantered around much to freely/erroniously.

    that's right. it'll take quite a chunk of change to disempower the unbridled/unprecedented evile that threatens to destroy the planet/population.

    no problem. those fauxking thieving murderers best get ready to see the light, as their legacy will be that they were known as the walking dead, & did immeasurable damage to all of us, to satiate their whoreabully excessive, greed/fear based squanderage.

    the lights are coming up now.

    you can pretend all you want. our advise is to be as far away from the walking dead contingent as possible, when the big flash occurs. you wouldn't want to get any of that evile on you.

    as to the free unlimited energy plan, as the lights come up, more&more folks will stop being misled into sucking up more&more of the infant killing barrolls of crudeness, & learn that it's more than ok to use newclear power generated by natural (hydro, solar, etc...) methods. of course more information about not wasting anything/behaving less frivolously is bound to show up, here&there.

    cyphering how many babies it costs for a barroll of crudeness, we've decided to cut back, a lot, on wasteful things like giving monIE to felons, to help them destroy the planet/population.

    no matter. the #1 task is planet/population rescue. the lights are coming up. we're in crisis mode. you can help.

    the unlimited power (such as has never been seen before) is freely available to all, with the possible exception of the aforementioned walking dead.

    consult with/trust in yOUR creator. more breathing. vote with yOUR wallet. seek others of non-aggressive intentions/behaviours. that's the spirit, moving you.

    pay no heed/monIE to the greed/fear based walking dead.

    each harmed innocent carries with it a bad toll. it will be repaid by you/us. the Godless felons will not be available to make reparations.

    pay attention. that's definitely affordable, plus you might develop skills which could prevent you from being misled any further by phonIE ?pr? ?firm? generated misinformation.

    good work so far. there's still much to be done. see you there. tell 'em robbIE.

    tell 'em about the whoreabull infactdead PostBlock(tm) devise, the SourceForgeIE(tm), & the va lienuts payper. while you're at it, tail us about your involvement with the other felonious corepirate nazis. you think they give a fud about you? so long as you get the monIE, its ok?
