There is a lot of awesome Astronomy pictures available from the Hubble website. Nerdius Maximus here has downloaded 3Gb of it. Watch out for the 200Mb Jpegs though:)
The really neat thing about science is that if you do the experiment the answer is only partly relevant because you'll probably learn something else that is equally cool along the way...
It's free open source, you can integrate anti-virus with it (ClamAV). It WORKS!!!! And it beats the bejesus out of Trend Micro Interscan Viruswall- which was what we were using previously on so many levels it isn't funny!
For example: System requirements: Trend Micro: 150Mb RAM + 1Gb disk. ASSP: 80Mb RAM + 50Mb Disk.
I've gone from a system that downloads all mail to process it (an enormous waste of resources) to a system that rejects about 90% of connections and cans another 5% based on content. Not only that, I got rid of Trend Micro Officescan and replaced it with ClamWin. The only thing Clamwin doesn't do (Yet!) is on access scanning. So if you download a file which you suspect, right-click to manually scan. Again, significant savings in terms of disk, client and server resources at the disadvantage of no central logging. I'm not missing it though...
The WTO, IEA, IAEA, and many other organisations are simply toothless tigers. Their bureaucrats spend their time flying from place to place trying to justify their own pay packets and carbon footprints. Why we are wearing the skin off our fingers arguing the toss over this sad article is beyond me. Foreigners, me included, are well aware of the "every man for himself USA all the way mentality". I mean if the US was SERIOUSLY interested in freedom and democracy for the oppressed then Zimbabwe would have been invaded ages ago... but oops, no oil there huh?
I found Banks novels very disappointing. The book Use Of Weapons in particular came from nowhere, went nowhere and achieved nothing. If you want far more interesting Science Fiction, try Richard Morgan- Any book he has written except Market Forces. Woken Furies and Altered Carbon in particular stand out as excellent.

NASA. Perhaps they aren't "shutting it down" but they're letting it bleed to death.
Thank God for you sir. The world needs more people who are cognizant of the value of research.
Somebody obviously forgot to tag the whatcouldpossiblygowrong on this article
But only when it suits americans.

Offtopic my @$$ haven't you seen Armageddon?
Nah- they'll name it Dottie 'cause she's a vicious lifesucking bitch from which there is no escape
