While it's true that the moon is currently receding, it will eventually stop and begin approaching the Earth, then pass the Roche Limit, break up, and generally cause everyone to have a bad day. However, the universe might not last long enough for that to happen.
As for the proto-earth/moon impactor, it was absorbed into the system, with the lighter materials of both it and proto-earth forming the moon, while the two cores sank to the bottom of what became Earth.
Then I don't know what the deal is. I have a Pentium M 1.8Ghz (Dell D600) and even with all the energy saving options (min screen brightness, WiFi off, speed step on, etc) on I'm lucky to break 90 minutes.
My 12" G4 runs full bore for just over 3 hours (no DVD access, tho).
Look into Sidetrack, which is a replacement driver for the PowerBook's trackpad.
It let's you set up taps as clicks and assign different buttons to the corners of the trackpad. I use tap as LClick, Top-right tap as RClick, bottom right as MClick, and the others to control Expose.
After using it for a while, I only wish I could remove the 1 button that's still left and just go w/ the trackpad.
In line at the Best Buy? Cuz I think everyone was there, seeing how big that line was. I know Jesus was there, clutching a 80%-off DVD player to his chest...
And eventually Apple'll be pawning a free marble that does nothing while MS'll be mortgaging your life for a building-sized Omni-Cube?
Now that'd be interesting...
Yeah, but I still think Apple should have the option to drop the mouse from the system. Or, even better, design a 2+scroll of their own (imagine how good that would be).
I feel a little bit wasteful having all these high-end single button mice lying around with absolutely no use for them.
True, but the hard disk itself is $300us, and it probably isn't 6gb (the article was careful to avoid the actual disc size). Then we need to worry about the enclosure, etc.
The fact that the 10gb iPod is 299us all said and done kinda throws a loop into the original argument...
At this point, Karpov tries a new tack with Qrs-e5 (Queen from right sleeve to e5).
6. f1-e2 e7-e5
Kasparov obviously hasn't noticed Karpov's innovative move. Karpov returns to traditional play.
7. c1-e3 Blb-g3 / JbKS
Under the subtle cover of JbS (Jackboot to Kasparov's shin), Karpov introduces a third bishop into play.
8. LIF-KRE d8-e7
Kasparov responds with his trademark LIF-KRE (Left index finger to Karpov's right eye).
9. d4Xe5 $^$%#$
Karpov instinctively howls in pain and immediately offers uncouth theories concerning the likely species of Kasparov's parentage to general audience.
10. Q - KLN Q-KLN
Mutual exchange of Queen to opponent's left nostril.
GAME SUSPENDED FOR TEN MINUTES BY JUDGE
11. c3-d5 e7-d8
It appears the hostility between the chess masters has subsided.
12. SsKH BRHAKH
It appears the judge was mistaken. 10-pound sledgehammer swung by Kasparov in a bold attempt to pin down Karpov's head.(SsKH) Karpov immediately falls back on the classic Beretta Defense (9mmRc-HsAKH - 9mm pistol removed from concealed shoulder holster and aimed at Kasparov's heart)
13. KRMcC...
Kasparov revs hidden McCulloch chainsaw.
GAME DECLARED A DRAW BY OFFICIALS
14. KRTT-JF KRTT-JF
Both express extreme displeasure at judges' decision and cunningly respond with the little-known Rin-Tin-Tin Gambit (politely urinating at judges' feet)
14. KKRF-AP
Kasparov and Karpov removed forcibly from arena by angry policemen.
Game 3 is obviously over. Now, for a play-by-play analysis, Mikel Erickson and Michel Joseph from the World Chess Federation.
Erickson: You know, I really feel that Kasparov took control of the match when he attempted to pierce Karpov's cornea. I thought that took real determination, and proved Kasparov's dominance in the cutthroat world of chess.
Joseph: Unfortunately, I can't agree with your assessment of the situation. I'm squarely behind Karpov here. Kasparov didn't display any of the personal integrity I think is critical for a champion. I liked Karpov's honesty with his fifth move, but the way Kasparov concealed that sledgehammer just goes to prove you can't judge a book by its cover.
Erickson: Oh yeah! Well, let me tell you what I think of a certain chess commentator I'm being forced to share this mike with!
How do I get their content out of OCW? I mean, sure, having the content there is all fine and dandy, but they seem pretty set on keeping it hosted at MIT, without modification, or forcing you to cut and paste.

So potentially 2/9 so far...
Actually, this isn't even the lander. The lander is called Artemis, and is an entirely different beast altogether.

Althought the elephant would have a way better claim to the title because it could actually kill pets.

Yup. Cuz the .85in hard-disk-in-a-CF-card is free, afterall...
Completely OT, but funny as hell:
