from the article: the one w/ the high eccentricity is "a planet with the most elongated orbit detected so far (HD 80606), moving between 5 and 127 million kilometers from the central star"
needless to say this is the planet where we'll put our future ghettos.
sorry, dude. wrote that while i was tripping. have a nice day! there are people that love you -- tell them you love them too, they'll appreciate it. spread the love.
"It has that big 'ooh, ah' factor, but people want something they're familiar with, which is the keyboard," Promisel said.
Huh? I've been using pens and pencils since I was 5, and crayons since before I can remember! As long as the handwriting software is decent (ie I can actually write letters instead of weird glyphs that I have to memorize), this would rule.

Read 'em and weep, Linux people. MS people use dirty tricks (just like the company they promote). Hiss!
"Sharp is now talking to several non-Japanese companies, including a chipmaker, to develop a Linux OS handheld, through which it hopes to attract thousands of application software developers, Uno said. The target is to have 10,000 software programs written in the Java computer language by a year from October, he said."
ugh. java.
"The choice of Linux won't be a disadvantage because "there are more than 100,000 active programmers for the Linux, which is more than double the number of those for Microsoft," said Uno."
But how many of each of those groups of developers will be writing code for this thing?
what the anarchist media-sharing community has to say to you, sir: we don't give a fuck. we are not the writers of gpl code, we don't give a fuck about licenses. And we don't think the artists do either. And if they do care, then they're not really artists.
But that's not necessarily think (at least not all the time that is).
Terminally ill is completely different from having a predisposition to have a disease. Tests that examine the current health of the applicant are both ethical and currently allowed. How does a company have a right to know whether it's in my genes that I will get Alzheimer's? I don't see your logic.
"There is a quid pro quo for open source developers," he said. "They all sort of share equally and get stuff back. If it were perceived that IBM or HP was not giving back as much as it could, developers could feel they've become unpaid employees, but we have steps in place to prevent that."
What kind of steps is he talking about? i'm no license expert, but where in the gpl is it cited as required that the user of the source has to give back to the author of that source? that seems against the open-source
need their porn. you know, it sucks that some people are what i would deem perverted, but that shouldn't have anything to do with their access to porn. this is not a troll, i'm just saying that it is certainly a free speech issue. no people are being hurt here (except, some would say, the viewer of virtual child porn), and it is a form of expression -- although one that incedentally includes masturbation.
you know, i can think of worse things these people could be watching -- but i'll let the trolls post the links:^)

you say that alliances between ms and news organizations undermines the credibility of the journalists involved. is that to say that the integrity of/. 'journalists' is undermined by being backed by VA?
not i mind if it is; the fact is that we know that the news on this site has a slant -- most people don't know that most of the "mass media" also has a slant, and this is where the problem lies.
