What's the point of identifying more than one extra-solar habitable planet? We've found that Gliese one or whatever it is, which is really nearby. So the next step is to work on means of getting there via ftl or tesseracts or enchanted broomsticks. Why devote resources to finding more places that are even harder to get to?
I say we just sit and stream Netflix until someone distant world's Pioneer plaque lands on our front porch.
I just started playing Super Mario Bros 3 on my Wii (going on 20 years since I last touched it on the NES), and it's kicking my ass! I have 4 lives to get through a whole world. If I die, I have to start the world over! OTOH, I respawn pretty quickly in COD2:)
I love both games, though.
I tried to RTFA, but the author wants to be too cute and buddy-buddy with me. When you're trying to learn something new, little jabs and crappy jokes prevent me from getting into the learning zone. Stick with the wikipedia article.
My enthusiasm for the contents of the article waned when I read "Kurzweil" in the URL. More often than not, claims made when he or his name are within glancing distance always seem more ridiculous than they would be otherwise.

Maybe the problem is that you're too good for such games. I suggest that you find an alternate form of entertainment.

All youd have to do is gut any insulation inside and sink it in a nice cold lake.
Right. Let's warm up some lakes. That's a great idea.

Yes, for a long time local.live.com has the bird's eye imagery. Since at least 2004, since I recall using it to shop for my first home.
