  2. Re:Of course it did! on Orbiter Successfully Enters Orbit · · Score: 1

    The parent raises a good point: is it still an orbiter when it's not orbiting? Does the spacecraft, the thing have purpose? Or are we... what's the word...anyway, this mission is very exciting. I can't wait for the first high-res pictures to - imbue. That's the word.

  3. A song to go with this story on DVD Writer RoundUp · · Score: 1

    (sung to the tune of "Paperback Writer" by The Beatles)

    DVD writer, DVD writer.
    Dear Sir or Madam, got a new PC
    It took three grand to buy, do you want to see?
    It's got an Athlon and huge LCD,
    It's got everything,
    But it doesn't have a DVD writer,
    DVD writer.

    It's the latest model from the greatest brand,
    And it's highly spec'ed - I don't understand.
    It's overclocked to five gigahertz
    It's a speedy box,
    But I really want a DVD writer,
    DVD writer.
    DVD writer, DVD writer.

    It's got a thousand gigs, give or take a few.
    But I'll fill it up in a week or two.
    I could make it larger if I add a drive.
    I could burn it all,
    If I only had a DVD writer,
    DVD writer.

    Would you buy me one If I were really nice
    I could burn some movies for you overnight.
    If you have a spare you can send it here,
    But I need it now,
    And it has to be a DVD writer,
    DVD writer.
    DVD writer, DVD writer.
    DVD writer, DVD writer.
    DVD writer, DVD writer.
    DVD writer, DVD writer.
    DVD writer...
