DeNiro as Spamford Wallace, teamed up with an anti-spammer (pick someone photogenic from Spam Fighters). They have 48 hours to track down an evil (Clearwater) Florida UFO cult that's peddling mind-control drugs as penis pills in their Plot to Take Over the World.

Scientists suspect object is space junk

Scientists think a newly-found object orbiting the Earth could be a remnant from the Apollo era.
Experts at Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory believe its brightness and distance shows it's a rocket booster.
'J002E3' was discovered on September 3 and listed by scientists as a minor planet or asteroid.
But Nasa's Donald Yeomans believes that designation is erroneous.
He told Space.com: "It's most likely a spacecraft. It's not likely to be a natural object, not in that kind of orbit."
He said minor planets or asteroids tend to be on strange orbits gravitationally-influenced by the Sun. This does not appear to be the case with this object.
Nasa are currently running computer calculations and expect to be able to identify the object conclusively soon.
Dude, when I have coffee, I have it in a ceramic pint mug. I certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to use the CD-ROM as a holder, but that's post-coffee -- Pre-coffee, I'm still running on the boot roms.

Third? Time to get a restraining order!
"Mr Sibrel, an independent filmmaker" Is that like all those "actors" who wait on tables?
Not at all. Look at the number of comets discovered by amateurs. The important thing is not having a big instrument and a load of cash, but lots of patience and knowing what's supposed to be where in the sky.
And you should see the setups that some of these amateurs have. (And I'm sure that CCD cameras and computers have done a lot to level the playing field when it comes to spotting like comets or sort-of-moon-things.)
And all the money that must be spent by governments? I'm sure a lot of people are rolling on the floor over that remark.

According to the inner teachings of Scientology* this is the 4th Invader Fleet. (The 5th Invader Fleet had to make do with Venus, but don't call them Venusians!)
* Sort of inner. Scientology is like a Mystic Onion. You peel it off layer by expensive layer until you reach the center of the onion. (Where you have nothing -- except tears.)
As I said in a post above "Lying with statistics" (didn't realize that I was drilled in a level, d'oh!), there's no indication of how large ICANN's sample was to get 17 bad ones.
So did ICANN sample 10.3M or 32 to get 17 bad ones?
I love the lying with statistics in this statement: "Out of 10.3 million records, they pulled out 17 of these that have inaccurate data on it," "That doesn't diminish the fact that VeriSign sees this as an important issue, but 17 names out of 10.3 million would hardly be considered a pattern."
Uh-huh, and how many did ICANN check to get those 17? Is that 17 out of 10.3M or 17 out of 32? Verisign obviously thinks everyone is dumber than they are.
The best demonstration of those weird properties that I've seen is to fill a small tub/wading pool with it. Then you get a vict^w subject to stand in it. Then you tell them to quickly step out of it. The gooey stuff suddenly turns to concrete around their feet.
Make sure that they've signed the personal injury waver first, of course...
Hmm pity, they don't have this demo on their web page Ontario Science Centre only a block away from me.
if I want to make something as simple as a function call in Motorola HC11 that requires about 6 lines of code per call. A simple 4-line if block can result in a 20-line assembly instruction that would just be bloody easier to do if you just let a compiler automagically run it for you.
Hey, that's what macro assemblers are for! (Of course, you're just basically [npi] creating your own mini language.)
Okay, I'll bite, what are the free options for trying out C# and.NET? I don't want to buy Visual C#.NET just to take it for a test drive. (Someone should write a Tiny Basic.NET:^) With the job listings more frequently asking for a few years experience (Argh, idiots!), I'd better keep sharpening [pi] my skill set.
I don't trust a protocol that leaks that much info without some sort of security handshake. (I admit, most requests do have a hash handshake that I haven't decoded yet.)

"Oh wait, it is a moon after all. My bad."
You mean like this: Buzz Aldrin accused of punching moon sceptic? I'd punch someone who kept poking me with a Bible too. Pretty good for a 72 year old Buzz!

Stop laughing, this is science damn it!
They should be careful: If this topic gets any more popular, Slashdot might be Toronto'd.
It's not just residential. There were a lot dot.boomer companies that moved into that area. (But BigRedH is dead dead, ha!) Lovely wood floors.
I was going to by a wireless card and a Pringles can and get rid of my DSL. And now someone had to go spill the beans!
Computer controlled stone gargoyles. 20+ story drop. Problem solved.
Dang. You know, they could have saved a bit by only buying a one-way ticket rather than a full fair round-trip. (Or maybe even half-way.)
Oh? I was thought it was all the horse-droppings left on the field after he was done -- modern TV alrighty! :^)
As much a joke as a mechanical steam-driven computer. Don't think of it as "mechanical", think of it as macro-nanotech.
That darned patent office, always granting stupid patents when there's prior art! Nothing ever changes! :^)
Do you have Deity-ID to tell which God is calling?
Well, it tends to be the younger stars that have them, so maybe they're starzits?
Wasn't it Hilly in that episode?
Oh great, we leave them there and come back in 50 years to find the Moon is one big trailer park -- and no possiblity of tornadoes to wipe them out.
