..."JWST is named after James E Webb, Nasa Administrator during the Apollo lunar exploration era; he served from 1961 to 1968."
To add more evidence. Look, wikipedia! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Edwin_Webb
To 1-up wikipedia. Look, NASA! http://www.jwst.nasa.gov/whois.html
The man whose name NASA has chosen to bestow upon the successor to the Hubble Space Telescope is most commonly linked to the Apollo moon program, not to science.
Yet, many believe that James E. Webb, who ran the fledgling space agency from February 1961 to October 1968, did more for science than perhaps any other government official and that it is only fitting that the Next Generation Space Telescope would be named after him.
Heh, I always love hearing about Xenix. It's like the AIDS of computer world. Just gets passed from one evil person to the next and never really ceases to haunt them...
The reason you don't want everyone else to know how other people voted is that knowing for sure how someone voted can lead to intimidation, bribery, and the like. Having an open ballot discourages sincere voting by subjecting people to even more peer pressure. As cliché as it might seem, peer pressure really would have a large effect in a thing such as this. Past peer pressure, there is always intimidation. Vote the wrong way and you'll pay. Ya dig?
I think they are saying now that we know this, the sun will decide to burn out. Sounds like a crisis to me. I think the only solution is to put the sun in a large enough box so as no energy escapes, so it will never burn out as long as we keep the box shut. What is the worst that could do?

If the Internet goes down, the Internet will just route around it. That's how it works, right?
As an American, I think I already am pretty offensive to most people on the Internet.

I thought the University of Nevada would never get even half a brain. Good for them I guess.
