Hale-Bopp and Hyakutake were good, but Comet C/2006 P1 (McNaught) was without a doubt a "Great Comet". It was a wonderful sight in the suburbs, but those with dark skys that could see the whole tail plume were lucky, lucky bastards...
As the Glasgow "terrorists" so brilliantly displayed, anybody can be a terrorist. All it takes is a car, a bunch of primitive explosive, flammable material and the motivation to endanger human life.
As Australia, California and other fire-prone areas show, anybody with a box of matches can be a terrorist.
Strictly speaking, Marc-Christian Petersen and Willy Tarreau maintain the 2.2 and 2.4 kernels respectively; I'm not sure Linus dabbles in them these days.
Attacking the hurricane is futile - and with increasing ocean temperatures due to global warming, the frequency and strength of hurricanes is only going to get worse.
The real question is: what are they doing about the butterflies in Brazil?
A stellar black hole that's so big it shouldn't be possible for it to have been created by the usual supernova, and in a region of space sufficiently vacant to rule out the gobbling theory, is what is being puzzled over.
The region of space is vacant now - it doesn't mean that it was when the black hole was feeling peckish.
"Linux" covers a multitude of sins... Which architectures exactly does the new Flash-based iPlayer support? (Given my own negative experiences with the amd64 Flash plug-in for Firefox, I suspect the answer is more or less just "x86".)
...not one thread can go by here without someone karma whoring by inserting a veiled or not so veiled reference that says 'It must be the United State's fault'.
Let's see, Jackson only made them what, $3 billion dollars?
"Upwards of $3 billion in global ticket sales" (my emphasis - add the DVDs etc. revenue on top of that.)
However you're forgetting Hollywood math, where films don't make money (do not pass Go, do not collect 5%.)
Dammed kids these days.. back in my day we would just huff the gas, but oooh no, not today, thats to old fashion, gotta take everything the the extreme now.
Back in the day, kids used to be sharing, and took turns at setting each other on fire. Nowadays it's just me, me, me...

Maybe it's common sense that needs to be taught in schools then.
Great idea. Common sense may have been common once, but it's definitely an endangered species now.
But that doesn't explain where all those goddamned clothes hangers come from.
They must be the adult form of "lost" teaspoons.
Removing? Some markets (Europe, Australia etc.) didn't get the hardware-based PS2 compatibility in the first place.
"No really, Miss. I would have submitted my homework if it wasn't for the CIA operation..."
For speakers: Mains-rated figure-8 cable (2 x 24/0.2mm), A$0.99/metre.
Could be, but it's never been used!
The Ultimate (Home Edition) deterrent - you'd be MAD to use it.
I haven't been asked to meta-mod for ages... Did I get marked down in meta-meta-mod?
("Who watches the watchers?")
Don't worry, there's still mind control parasites to contend with - tinfoil hats won't help against those.

I checked Windows Update to see what the fuss is about; I wasn't notified of any pending updates.
"Windows Desktop Search 3.01 for Windows XP (KB917013)" is listed as a Software, Optional update. I just ticked the "f*ck off" box - problem solved.
If you let Microsoft automatically install updates on your computer without vetting them, don't complain about it installing cruft - and worse.

So the technology in TFA will allow us to flog dead horses 200 times as fast? Won't our arms get tired?
Did you RTFA? The new technology means you only have to slap 200 dead ponies.

"My dog has no nose."
"How does it smell?"
"Terrible!"

Doesn't anyone at Microsoft have a big music collection to copy, or do they just use their Macs and iPods for that? ;-)
After squirting their music all over the place, their mommy won't let them play any more until they clean up the whole DRM mess.
... for Microsoft. Monkey Boy was referring to their revenue, which is more important to them than the user experience.
... and maybe advertisers will grow up and realise that pissing off your potential customer base is bad for business. No, I didn't think so either.
