No where in this article is it implied that these things have actually gotten loose. The only thing that is remotly interesting in the article is that its called a "Nuclear" worm. In reality there is nothing "Nuclear" about it. That is just a marketing ploy. Introduced species present a large threat to our environment, however this worm, thus far, has not presented any real threat. I have to admit though I do like the title: Gone Fission, if I thought that up I would probably post it too.
There is no IMAX screen where I live, we have an OMNIMAX, which may be better in some ways. Its similar except that the screen is curved, if you get motion sickness from IMAX you should try OMNIMAX, Its kind of crappy though because they dont make many movies specifically for the OMNIMAX format, most of the films are just IMAX films shot through a special lense, and they get a little distorted. I was kind of disapointed though because they never played Fantasia 2000 there, Im not a big Fantasia fan, but I thought it might be an interesting experience.
Yeah. I know of a guy, a body builder, who drinks 2 gallons of water daily, that is 16 pints. What I have always wondered is if it is possible to saturate yourself such that there is a constant stream of water flowing through your body. In other words, you will keep peeing untill you stop drinking (of course there will be a delay).
A lot of you are claiming that Linux is free, therefore the revinue must be all profit. Or something similar. Even Debian (the most free of all free distributions) admits that this doesnt mean free (as in beer). Think about redhat, profit = revinue - expenses, well its free to us but not redhat, they have to pay their programmers and there technitions and everyone else involved. I still think that this article is BS, but revinue is a better indication of popularity than many of you are sugesting.

Dr. Strangelove would be on the top of my list, thats just because I like it, not because I think it would be better on the big screen.
