Hubble Discovers a Hundred New Planets
Spudley writes "The BBC is reporting that the Hubble Telescope has discovered over a hundred new exoplanets - a number which almost doubles the total known. Apparently they are also expecting to be able to analyse the atmospheres of up to 20% of them. The discovery will be confirmed within the next seven days."
I just heard some sad news on DrudgeReport - The man called the greatest actor of all time, Marlon Brando, has died at 80. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.
That's pretty cool. I wonder how many planets children in today's current public education system learn about(?).
Two freaks, no foes. It takes absolutely nothing to make some people angry.
Well I for one welcome our new far off, freshly discovered, alien overlords. Well, that and moving my home PC to Gentoo.
I'm always right and I can prove it, because to the best of my knowledge, I've never been wrong.
Maybe the Daleks are on one of them!

I wonder exactly when we all we know what the price tag will be for all this exploration...At least now they won't have to worry about me trying to do it -- it's expensive to explore something like this if your not the first person to do it! Mind you, if they have enough quality pictures why would we ever need to explore these planets again!
"I'm a bank robber..."
I wonder if they'll let me have it.

Do not try to read the dupe, thats impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth
What truth?
There is no dupe
more likely some religious fanatic, a remote descendant of Arabia, who skated by in life and never had to work due to all his family oil money, will try to convert entire planets to fundamentalist islam by bombing school buses and running spacecraft into buildings.
Whether the aliens prefer OGG to AAC?
If you don't know what AltaVista is (was), get off my lawn.

RIMMER: So -- Holly managed to navigate her way through the five Black Holes?
HOLLY appears on KRYTEN's chest moniter.
HOLLY: As it transpired, there weren't any Black Holes.
RIMMER: But you saw them -- you saw them on the monitor.
HOLLY: They weren't Black Holes.
RIMMER: What were they?
HOLLY: Grit. Five specks of grit on the scanner-scope. See, the thing about grit is, it's black, and the thing about scanner-scopes...
RIMMER: Oh, shut up.
LISTER: (Sighs.) Come on. Let's go.
