Just goes to show that arguing (or even posting, it seems) on the internet is like running in the Special Olympics- even if you win, you're still a retard.
So you're calling yourself a retard because you're arguing on the internet? I don't see any other way of reading that statement, you slimy Jew fuckwad.
Go back to Israel and eat some of your traditional matzos made out of dead Palestinian babies.
Maybe you should spend less time kissing Steve Jobs' ass and more time paying attention to how you're spelling the name of a MAJOR FUCKING EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION.
Motherfucker. I bet you're one of those jackoffs that asks "What instrument do you play?", when someone tells you that they go to Berkeley, and they figure it's too much of a fucking waste of time to tell you that UC Berkeley is different than the Berklee School of Music.
Funny, how he writes a whole long lengthy article on bsd, and misspells it EVERY time. It's Berk e ley.
Nobody said Mac fans were the smartest motherfuckers on the planet. Take this jackoff, for example.
I often hear that "Macs are better for design" or "Design is easier on a Mac" and other similar statements, but I find it amusing that all of that is disproved by one dipshit who has devoted his life to Apple and the Macintosh.
If design work were so easy on a Mac, then logically, someone who spends as much time around Macs as he does would have no problem at all creating a stunning website. Obviously, that's not true. Case in point: His fucking website.
Maybe his vegan brain is addled from a lack of protein, because I don't know anyone who thinks blue text on a melon-colored background looks good.
But I could be wrong. Maybe design isn't his forte, and he's actually more interested in doing video editing? Well, lets see what he has to say: ""I haven't edited any footage. I haven't even gone back and looked at it. My dream is that somebody will like it and organize an army of interns to produce a detailed log of everything, and then develop some really interesting DVDs.
Yeah, I think the real answer is that he's less interested in actually using his Macs, than he is in giving Reverend Jobs all his aunt's hard-earned money.
Notice I said his aunt's hard-earned money, because the motherfucker doesn't have a fucking job.

Amazon has a great Myst Collector's pack. They contain the trilogy: Myst. Riven. Exile. The words send beautiful images and music floating through my mind.
"Why should I even consider buying these games?" you may ask. I'll put it to you simply: you haven't lived until you've played the games of the Myst Trilogy. That's cliché, I know, but it's true. The places you'll discover can, and will, be your reality for as long as you let them. You'll find yourself fully immersed in the beauty of the worlds of Myst, be it the surreality of Myst, the photoreality of Riven, or the perfect mix of Exile. The quality of the work, both audio and visual, will suspend your disbelief shortly after popping in one of the 10 CD-ROMs included in the Myst Trilogy...
"You have just stumbled upon a most intriguing book, a book entitled 'Myst'. You have no idea where it came from, who wrote it, or how old it is. Reading through its pages provides you with only a superbly crafted description of an island world. But it's just a book, isn't it?
"As you reach the end of the book, you lay your hand on a page. Suddenly your own world dissolves into blackness, replaced with the island world the pages described. Now you're here, wherever 'here' is, with no option but to explore..."
Myst, Riven, and Exile have offered me many, many hours of wonderful escape from this world. They are unmatched in story, depth, and quality.
In short, if you've never lived these worlds before, you are truly missing out on something amazing.
Mr. Charbonneau has actually written a book for astronomy novices, though it does touch on his previous on his previous research in this area. It's available at amazon.com, for the curious. It contains some of the finest astrophotography I have seen.
You will not be taking this out to your observation site, nor will you be using it to hunt down what you plan to observe when out with your scope. However, it provides absolutely stunning views of the sky and is a joy to look through. For beginners, the book has plastic overlay sheets that highlight the stars which form the outline of the constellations. A few deep sky objects are portrayed for each constellation. But, as I said, you're not buying this as a true star atlas, but as a beautiful book to enjoy.
This might be of some assistance. It should give you a better idea of how to properly adjust your equipment.
NASA approves 2004 mission to smash comet

I swear I'm not making this up. This is an article from yesterday's news page on canoe.ca.
PASADENA, Calif. (AP) -- NASA approved a mission Thursday designed to send a projectile hurtling into a comet in an effort to bare the dirty space snowball's nucleus for study.
National Aeronautics and Space Administration officials gave the Deep Impact mission team the nod to begin full-scale development of the spacecraft for a January 2004 launch.
The $240-million mission will take 18 months to arrive in the neighbourhood of Comet Tempel 1. Once at the comet, the main spacecraft will deploy a smaller, 350-kilogram impactor to smash into the body July 4, 2005.
The main spacecraft will remain at a safe distance to measure and image the outflow of gases from the blast hole, the size of a football field and seven storeys deep. The impact should cause the comet to brighten enough to be visible from Earth.
The artificial cratering of the comet won't destroy it but will kick up enough material to allow scientists to learn more about its composition. Preserved by the deep freeze of space, comets are thought to contain pristine examples of the primitive material that formed the solar system 4.5 billion years ago.
Comet Tempel 1 was discovered in 1867. It orbits the sun once every 5.5 years.

I'm an amateur astronomer, and there's a really great book on Cometography on Amazon. It's called "Cometography: A Catalog of Comets", by Brian G. Marsden.
It may be backordered, but AFAIK the San Francisco Library has a copy.
Screwball was a type of ice cream when I was a kid. From the seventies and eighties. Imagine an upturned Dalek (on a much smaller scale, obviously) made of plastic and fill it full of ice-cream with a kind of strawberry sauce. It was eaten with a small wooden shovel. The name 'Screwball' came from the fact that right at the bottom, where the head of the Dalek would have been, was a chewing-gum ball, a hard candy-shelled thing. Is this what the majority of people felt they wanted to eat after noshing on an ice-cream? Or was it just a gimmick? - Call me a cynic, but...
After the success of the Screwball had waned, they came out with the 'Two-ball Screwball': you can probably guess what else they'd added to it to warrant the name. What on earth would an ice-cream consumer do with two pieces? They could eat one, sure. But where would they put the other, all covered with ice-cream as it was? The feminine rhyme of 'Two-ball Screwball' is all very well - but should it really dictate marketting policy? No doubt this shouldn't distress me as much as it does...
I have no idea why either variant was popular, mind you - in essence it's just a wafer cone with vanilla ice-cream and strawberry sauce (and the brilliance of the wafer cone, of course, is that you can eat all of the product - there's no plastic kicking about for the rest of the life of the planet (mind you - who cared about that in the 70s and 80s?)). And with a Screwball you can't eat the cone afterwards. Or push all the ice-cream to the bottom with your tongue until it squirts out of the end. Or snap off the end and use the resulting small cone to scoop up a little bit of the ice-cream and make mini ice-cream cones.
All the taste and fun of an ice-cream cone. Without the fun...
"In 1910, when it was announced that Halley's Comet would once again pass the earth, hysteria broke out in Europe, based on the belief that the arrival of this comet always heralded castrophe. The war of 66 A.D. that brought about the fall of Jerusalem, the devastation of Rome by the Huns in 373, the Battle of Hastings in 1066 (it is Halley's Comet that can be seen in the famous Bayeux Tapestry, announcing the death of Harold), and many other tragic events did in fact coincide with the comet's appearance.
Whether or not these occurrences actually had anything to do with the comet anxiety spread throughout Europe as soon as its impending arrival was announced, and thousands of people fled to the mountains for safety. A group of French scientists published a paper claiming that the earth would be poisoned by fumes from the comet's tail.
Reports of 'comet insanity' and suicide attempts filled the newspapers, and 'anticomet pills' guaranteeing protection from the comet's noxious fumes, where bought up eagerly.
The comet, however, came and went without much incident"
