The famous mathematician Hilbert once enquired to know why one of his students stopped attending his lectures. They told him he left the university to be come a poet. Hilbert: "I can't say I'm surprised. I never thought he had enough imagination to be a mathematician"
The theoretical resolution of a 76 metre ground-based radio (21 cm wavelengths) telescope is 20 arcminutes, so it has a large 'beam'. In comparison the human eye has a theoretical resoulution of about 1 arcminute.
Thus too do any ground-based observations in the radio or far-infrared part of the spectrum you must have either a very large telescope or a large array of telescopes. Even then the resolution is limited by turbulence and water vapour in the atmosphere.
The alternative of course is what the Hubble is doing, go above most of the atmosphere and observe in the visible part of the spectrum, no turbulence, high resolution.
Even if they can predict a 6.5 earthquake to occur say during a 6-month period, this would make the situation worse since people would not go on as usual and would worry about an earthquake occuring during that period. I think people living in a seismogenic area should always be prepared for such a catastrophe.
I think it is a good thing NOT to have internet access on computers you're supposed to work on. The students at the university I attend to agreed that that is a bad thing and so the computer lab clusters are just connected with the university network and not the internet. It's a lot more productive.
Tried to install it out of curiosity, halfway through the installation I noticed the word Gator, or something, canceled it and came back safely to firebird:)
I am aware that there are glibc2.0 problems with Mozilla, which is why there are no glibc2.0 binaries available. Does anyone know if this problem has been resolved yet? Has anyone tried to compile Mozilla on glibc2.0 system? (such as debian slink)
I have installed Hurd a few months ago and played around a bit with it. It's a fine network machine. What troubles me though is the installation. Although anyone who's into Linux and *NIX in general will be able to install it, it would be nice if we had an installation system in the style of the linux distributions. Has this been implemented in the Debian version of the Hurd yet? Any other distributions under construction?

You're right:
The Moon is spiralling away from the Earth (distance increasing by 4cm/year)
Apologies
Actually the Earth and the Moon are spiralling towards each other. I think the rate is something like 3cm per year although I'm not certain.
