Hubble's Deepest Pictures Yet

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the that's-a-helluva-commute dept.

MrBook2 writes "NASA have just released the Ultra Deep Field (UDF). This image took 800 exposures and clocked in at 11.3 days (!) of exposure time. This image is deeper than the Hubble Deep Field which has yielded a vast amount of knowledge. So, why exactly was it that NASA wanted to scrap the Hubble?"

    Jesus CHRIST leave it alone.

    He did.
    And the sad truth of it is that these pictures, no matter how deep, will never compare to the inimitable Goatse.

    One File Swapper Lawsuit At A Time

    from the slowly,-slowly... dept.
    A judge looking at the latest complaint from internet providers about the RIAA's "John Doe" lawsuits that grouped hundreds of potential offenders into a single lawsuit has decided that isn't very fair. Instead, he's pointing out that the RIAA should file each lawsuit individually and present evidence that each John Doe violated copyright laws in a separate lawsuit. Perhaps as a gesture of goodwill, he's approved the first such subpoena after evidence was presented on one single file sharer. As you might imagine, this is likely to slow down (and increase the expense) of the RIAA's legal attack on people accused of illegal file sharing.
