Hubble Discovers 5th Moon of Pluto
Stirling Newberry writes "This image shows 'P5,' the placeholder name for a fifth natural moon of Pluto, a tiny sliver that orbits ~29,000 miles from its primary in a circular orbit. Other than Charon, Hubble has been the means by which astronomers have found all of the known moons of Pluto. 'The new detection will help scientists navigate NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft through the Pluto system in 2015, when it makes an historic and long-awaited high-speed flyby of the distant world. The team is using Hubble’s powerful vision to scour the Pluto system to uncover potential hazards to the New Horizons spacecraft. Moving past the dwarf planet at a speed of 30,000 miles per hour, New Horizons could be destroyed in a collision with even a BB-shot-size piece of orbital debris.'"
According to Wikipedia:
This was your first mistake.
Pluto is a planet. The new definition of a planet is an arbitrary change from the old definition. There was zero reason to change the definition, there were many reasons not to. People who fuck around with language, even with technical definitions, need to wisen up.
Inflammable and non-inflammable are correct.
Flammable and non-flammable are incorrect.
Kilobit and kilobyte and Kb (and kb) and KB are correct, and mean 1024 bits (or bytes).
Kibibit and kibibyte and Kib and (kib) and KiB are incorrect, and mean you're a fucking dipshit.
Hexagon and Hexadecimal are incorrect. Say it with me, kids: Sexagon! Sexadecimal!
Now please continue to post loads of bullshit about how I'm wrong and you're right. If you're under the age of 30 your opinion is invalid because you indoctrinated by utter morons.
