  3. Re:Will it be fun? on Beatles Rock Band Game Coming In September · · Score: 1

    I just keep thinking about how boring it'd be to play through 'hey jude' with the drummer just hitting the same pad over and over again in time with the tambourine at the start, doing a small flurry, then hitting a different pad for the cymbal for the rest of the track...

  4. Will it be fun? on Beatles Rock Band Game Coming In September · · Score: 2, Interesting

    As much as I love the Beatles they weren't really known for their Raging Guitar solos or 8 minute Drum twatting sessions, and for me the best bits in both GH and RB were the difficult but rewarding sections that I really just don't seem to remember the Beatles having.

  5. Re:Not quite on Windows 7 Lets You Uninstall IE8 · · Score: 1

    And if you go into Add/Remove programmes on any version of Windows and select Internet Explorer it will say "Adds or removes Access to Microsoft Internet Explorer from the Start menu and Desktop" - meaning it just removes the shortcuts from the Start Menu and Desktop, it doesn't actually DELETE anything...

    From the GP:

    do we let the definition become so strict that soon nothing qualifies as a planet anymore?

    are people's sarcasm detectors malfunctioning today?

  8. Re:So... on The Lower Atmosphere of Pluto Revealed · · Score: 3, Interesting

    "A dwarf planet, as defined by the International Astronomical Union (IAU), is a celestial body orbiting the Sun that is massive enough to be rounded by its own gravity but has not cleared its neighbouring region of planetesimals and is not a satellite."

    By this definition, Neptune isn't a planet, it's a dwarf planet, because it hasn't cleared Pluto out of it's neighbouring region...

    He's probably in the Congo.

    Ghana is actually one of the most stable countries in Africa. One that has just finished it's third General Election (with universal suffrage too) this year. It's first was in 1992, with 1996 letting the same guy in again. But considering it spent most of the 20th century ruled by a military Junta, it's come along way.

  17. Re:Why so complicated on NASA Contest To Name ISS Module · · Score: 1
