Pedants like to point out that there is no "Dark Side of the Moon" when referring to Earth's Moon, because during the month all portions of the Moon eventually have a full "day" of sunlight.
In the case of Iapetus, there really is a dark side, not because one side never sees the sun, but because it is just, well, dark. For some reason half of Iapetus is dark, and the other half is light - much like those Star Trek guys.
There are two rules about ignoring the names of things: 1. Any academic subject with the word "science" in it, isn't. Examples: Social Science, Political Science, Computer Science...
2. Any country with the words "Democracy" or "Democratic" in their names isn't. Examples: German Demcratic Republic, Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea),
troon is absolutely right - this thing is a bug flying across the field of view, illuminated by a flash.
There is a certain class of crackpot who thinks that out of focus pictures of insects flying across a photoframe are evidence of some strange unknown creature.
Fortunately, we can visit their websites and laugh at them. Unfortunately, they can now point at the Astronomy Picture of the Day and say "See! NASA found more evidence for rods!"

They all still work because they end in a ? or a # character before you tack on the "nyud.net:8090", this means you could tack on "tubgirl.com" or "goatse.cx" and nothing would happen.
All the links in the story end in ".nyud.net:8090", in an attempt to use Coral. The problem is, that is appended after everything else, which makes it irrelevant.

Well, I didn't think I was too far out of line interpreting "You get what you pay for" as condescending jackass, but you're right, this isn't worth a holy war.
I have a friend who regularly uses both eclipse and IDEA, his thoughts are "use the right tool for the job". And, he's right, even vi has it's uses. For example, you may need it to be able to build emacs.:)
Like any other holy war, it boils down to opinion, and you're right - if you like it, it's worth the $500. Especially if it isn't your money.
Did you miss the part where I said this is just like emacs vs. vi?
Based on the brief experiences I've had with IDEA, Eclipse flattens it. Remember, the plural of anecdote is not data.
And, you can ask Eclipse to use emacs keybindings.
And you can download open source plug-ins for Eclipse to do things like edit/debug perl/c/c++/cobol/eiffel/groovy/python/ruby/etc. You can use aspect-oriented programming with AspectJ.
You can write your own plugins for whatever you need Eclipse to do (sound like emacs?) And it doesn't cost a penny.
$500 for IDEA? I'll buy two iPods and download eclipse, thanks anyway.
He's not talking about the procedure in an ER, he's talking about what happens when he's one of two ambulance crews first arriving at the site of a plane crash where there are 180 passengers, half apparently dead, and with 50 critically wounded.
You're damn right it's scary, but the scary part is the disaster that's already happened, not the cold calculus of triage. Spock would understand - the good of the many outweighs the good of the few, or the one.
If you're one of the walking wounded, go find some black-tagged person and give CPR if you are able.
This PDF is the manual for the bare-bones Soekris 4501 - the first page has pictures of the bare board and the "box" version. It is a router/hub form factor.
You can easily run the Pebble Linux distro on these. The easy way is to mount a CF card on a Linux box and build a bootable filesystem there. The Pebble docs walk you through it, piece of cake.
Since you can get 1 GB flash cards for pretty cheap, and Pebble even with added bells & whistles fits handily in 256 MB, you can run dead silent. No fans, no water cooling. Power consumption is somewhere south of 10 watts according to the soekris docs.
Of course, if you are running a mail server and/or web server, you might want an actual hard disk to be able to have many read/write cycles without destroying your CF card - you can use a microdrive CF form factor disk with no problem.
My understanding is that Soekris' support for *BSD is better than for Linux, but I've had no problem running Pebble on mine.
A ReplayTV comes out of the box with network streaming capability. You can stream any recorded show to a laptop using free software from http://www.dvarchive.org/.
I get a positive Crackpot Index just from this three line posting of his. And that's without even taking a shot at that "God gave us the secret to AI" website. I think my calculator might run out of digits...

They are using Eclipse. In which case, the IDEA user is missing out on that $800.
Wow! I'm having emacs vs. vi flashbacks! Except vi is also free...
You can mount the CF read-only, and upon boot copy the system to a ramdisk. The pebble setup docs step you through this.
Then, your CF disk is used only for reading, and will last for a good long time.
There is also a Journalling Flash Filesystem which is supposed to optimize writes so that CF life is not compromised.
