We may have 25% less radioactive elements in our planet's interior than some of these other planets, but we have a large moon that is causing a significant amount of tidal friction. That should help close the internal heat gap a bit...and as a bonus it keeps our axis fairly stable.
There are many different types of homes out there. Some just have better floor heating than Earth. I rather like our bright heat lamp in the sky...so do the plants in my yard.
A good discovery nonetheless. I'm excited that life may have more places where it can exist, and perhaps even thrive like it has done here on Earth.
We've seen a lot of news recently on slashdot about software being released before it is ready. This is just a glimpse into the inner-workings of a very large development team making a tough, but correct, call.
Since we are talking future science here it would make sense to harness the incoming blast way and convert it back to energy that can be used for the next flight. The problem is building the infrastructure to do this at the destination, but if they can figure out how to go faster than light I'm sure they can find a way to make this a reality too.
From the article: "The best measurements of global air temperatures come from American weather satellites, and they show wobbles but no overall change since 1999."
Ice in a glass of water will cause the water to stabilize right around the freezing point. Even if you slowly heat it, the temperature will remain around freezing...that is until the last of the ice melts.
It's logical to think that the same is happening in the oceans. The ice is helping keep the oceans at a fairly constant temperature and the oceans are absorbing the extra heat from the atmosphere.
The problem is that it looks like the oceans' ice is melting at an alarming rate.
That's why I don't use debit cards. They normally don't refund your money until they are done with the investigation, and during that period several checks of yours might have bounced, etc. With a credit card, you dispute the charges before paying the bill so that you only give them the money that you own them for the items/services that you purchased.
I'm not sure what happens if you pay the full amount and then try disputing the fraudulent charges. Any takers?
Google may in fact be after access to AOL's Points Of Presents throughout the world. I imagine that AOL has a POP with pretty much every major telco player in the world. Bundle that with the dark fiber, the millions of users, the raw talent and the cash.....
This company has a plan and we are just along for the ride. I hope it takes us somewhere we want to go.
That may be true but who says alcohol doesn't weaken your strong brain cells, one day making the once strong into Darwin's lunch? I'm not saying that's what happens, but I am saying that it is possible.
I believe in your freedom of choice to do whatever you like, as long as you don't take others down with you...or your hobbies don't cost us (the tax payers) in the long run.

Thanks Linux & Co! Keep up the good work!

Enjoy!
At $550 per hour, I would've used something like a 386 processor with 8MB of RAM.
There's a reason some people get paid that much; some people know how to do their jobs well and efficiently.
Why pay someone for 100 hours at $55/hour and wait 3 weeks when you can pay this guy $550/hour and have your results the next day?
we should standardize an X12
Don't you mean X100? Everyone knows 100 comes after 11!
