I don't understand the appeal - posting simply for the sake of being "first" isn't exactly the most respectable of intentions, honestly, the people who read the replies aren't normally going to care who wrote what when, just what's in the response. - If your response is generally good, people will read it and enjoy it anyway. - Simply posting "woo I got first post" is bound to get you modded down a few points (like this has been) and hnce you'll hardly be seen at all.
Actually, audience participation can be great fun in a star wars movie. Just remember to take your glow in the dark light-saber with you, and those major large-scale light saber fights can come to life without the need for stupid red and green bits of plastic over your eyes.
But that one second is going to be seen as very important by purists. You get over excessive fans of the series who'd be decimated by missing even the smallest part of it (anoracks of the series.) - the fact that that one second makes the difference between a 12 certificate film and a PG film is just worrying though, how adult in nature must that one second be?
I found MS grammar checking so appalling I turned it off. On my cersion of word, "world-wide" is a grammatical error, and it suggests a change to "worldwide" - but "worldwide" is a spelling error it recommend hyphonating.
It's unlikely that general comet hunting will be available to the masses, for a couple of reasons.
1) there's not much demand, without demand no-one is going to make it available.
2) While you can look at a video of the whole night sky, the only way you can really get to have a close look at something is with your own telescope, or to book some time on a remote telescope somewhere. - The former is very expensive, the latter is very difficult, you can't just ask, it takes a lot of time and effort to find a telescope willing to give you some time (Trust me, I've tried.)
If you were to discover something, the best thing to do is to register it as quickly as possible, if you don't someone else is going to find it anyway, and then they'll get to name it.

I agree here, my Ipaq's d-pad is very flimsy at best, and the thing only accepts one button entry at a time (I have a h3630)
Yes, as far as I know you get naming rights on anythign you find, as long as you register it before anyone else does. (Don't ask me how to do that.)

I thought the vogons didn't have any appreciation for earth culture though?
