Cars anyone? Hard drives? Cameras? I don't see what this guy is getting at.
As bad as some of the Phoronix articles can be, they have contributed a lot to the community. After all, they played a pivotal role in setting up openbenchmarking.org, and are pretty much the only source of Linux hardware reviews.
While that is true, it doesn't matter due to how easily audio formats can be converted, unlike many analogies raised here about competing hardware formats.
... the blob is, according to observations, a gas cloud who was irradiated until recently by a now dead quasar. The irradiation excited the oxygen atoms in the cloud, making it glow green.
I think it wouldn't have been too much to add this to the entry.

The main advantage of clouds, where you can access your data anywhere, can be just as easily achieved by a home server, for example. And nowadays, just about any computer, even a Intel Atom PC drawing less power than a tungsten bulb would work as a file server. Granted, it takes expertise, but setting up a basic home server can easily be automated. The only reason cloud computing is flourishing instead is hype. People don't realize if cloud computing ever becomes the norm, Google would start charging their services.
I'm particularly bad in his aspect...the first proper scope I ever used was...a 14" observatory Dall Kirkham.
But desensitized? No. Seeing them through a real telescope is just...different. It is never like looking at pictures, no matter how good the pictures are. But I do have to agree, part of the fun of star gazing comes from the satisfaction of finding a difficult object...I can still remember finding Ring nebula through a 5" for the first time!
Depends on your skies, more location, how late you are willing to stay until, and of course your scope. For starters, try Pleiads and Orion nebula. If my guess of your position is close enough, you should be able to see both just after the sun sets completely, together with Jupiter. Mars and Saturn should come up much later. If you are feeling adventurous, try Double Cluster, M44 (Beehive), and Andromeda. Those objects I mentioned are typically visible in Binoculars, so should pose no problem for a telescope. The last 3, however, may or may not be naked-eye visible (again, depending on various factors, such like light pollution), and even if they are, might require experienced observers to pick out, so might be hard to find.
Problem is, not enough dark nebulae has been detected to accound for dark matter. However, there are a class of dark matter candidates, "Massive Compact Halo Objects", that are made of "normal matter", just harder to detect than most.
No. It has unprecedented resolution for far-infared, but definitely not the first IR space telescope. Enough matter to account for dark matter would form huge structures due to gravity (assuming nebulosity), and thus if they are detectable at Herschel frequencies, they would haven been detected.
What disturbes me is how the "hotspot" appears in the same location every cycle. It would of course make sense if the poles are hotter, but that the poles are significantly hotter doesn't make sense in itself, given the convection going on in most stars, and that hot gases/plasma would move to areas of lower gravity, in other words, the equator. And that the pole sticking out, implying a cigar-shaped star at peak brightness (whereas centripetal force should make it an oblate sphere bulging in equatorial directions...)

The resolution is 0.08 arcseconds. That translates to it being able to resolve 150m objects on the moon. You'd need a really big thumb I guess.

Why doesn't anyone ever recommend that. Its really good if you don't try to force portage on it.

Its not a hardware difference, unlike VHS and BETAMAX. Conversion is possible.
Wavpack is superior technologically!
How does that matter, may I ask?
There exists PPAs and Overlays, but you can't open a private "App Store" for OS X

Who the hell modded this up?
literally dangerous to do any other way.
Quite false...
That was months ago. Also, it takes a decent scope to see detail on saturn, such as a C5. A department store scope would never be able to.

If those ultra-intelligent life are really as good as they're hyped up to be, why aren't we seeing some totally amazing stuff happening all around us?
Prime Directive ;)
Aperture is everything, alas.
Tsk tsk... You saying a 6" Schmidt would beat a 3.5" Apo? It really depends on what you are looking at.
It's new moon right now!
