  10. Re:I believe the preferred term on NASA's Dawn Spacecraft Becomes First To Orbit a Dwarf Planet · · Score: 3, Funny

    I believe they prefer the term "Gravitationally Challenged"

  11. Re:why 10 years? on Hubble Discovers Quadruple Lensed Ancient Supernova · · Score: 3, Informative

    Supernovae are transient events. So it will fade. 10 years from now, the light will reach us again, after it's travelled a different route. RTFS, it's right there:

    "The supernova will appear again in the next 10 years, as its light takes different paths around and through the gravitational lens."

    In other words, some of light got lensed into taking the scenic route, and will show up later.

  12. Why the hell are you asking us? on Ask Slashdot: Should I Let My Kids Become American Citizens? · · Score: 2

  19. The last sentence was interesting.... on Lenovo Hit With Lawsuit Over Superfish Adware · · Score: 2

    "She also accused Lenovo and Superfish of invading her privacy and making money by studying her Internet browsing habits".

    To me, this was more interesting than all the rest. It has the potential to break the big telcos, cable companies, Google, and anyone else who makes a living by tracking your browsing habits to server you "targeted advertising".

    The malware also doesn't work at all during August, and will randomly go on strike.

    It also immediately surrenders to the first AV program to find it.
