The news is that there was indeed a burst that we do not understand. The burst wasn't known "yesterday" to be significant, but now we know that it is. Did you know that such immensely powerful events could occur in the universe?
I find your lack of humility disturbing. </obStarwars>
Incidentally, the last japanese phone I had many years ago (a Sony Ericsson), had a scroll wheel (actually a bar) instead of up-down buttons, which made text input with the text prediction/completion system a total breeze. Unfortunately it's still the only phone I've ever seen that had a wheel. (it also had a very nice 640x480 screen, and was fairly cheap, further aggravating my irritation with the phone manufacturers)
Yeah, I mean why don't they write about the meteorite instead of saying things like
The meteorite's impact sent debris flying up to 820 feet (250 meters) away or
The samples also had a significant amount of magnetic material "characteristic of meteorites," she said. or
"It's a rocky fragment," Machare said, "and rocks that fall from the sky can only be meteorites."
if a consistent formatting is required, then i suggest sending out a plain text file and request that it is filled in, How can you get consistent formatting with plain text, when printed out? What's the font size, paper size, etc. etc.? Plaintext will likely give you 6 pages of unreadable monospaced text, instead of one neatly organised and easy-to-fill page.
Eh, I didn't find them too distraction, though I sometimes had to stop before crossing the "load line" to think whether I'd forgotten something. Anyway, the orphanage mission is worth all the pain.
Nobody seems to realize that anything that happens on the quantum level *MUST* affect the macro level. Of course, it's the same matter, same world. But don't forget that quantum events do not have to affect the macro level meaningfully.
Random strangeness here and there? It all disappears in a sea of averages.

Ah yes, unfortunately it is a horribly old model by now..

Turn on the I/O read and write bytes columns in task manager. You'll see the numbers for a process go up when it reads or writes to the hd.
And who in their right mind would pay for all that, with no real guarantee that it'll actually be safe to use?
That video is clearly inspired by Get Perpendicular. At least in absurdness.

We order everything on the internets now, duh!
That is precisely why I avoid Arial and its ilk whenever possible.
Gradma? Is that what you become if you never finish your thesis?
You get a virus.
Let's hope it doesn't call for goat cheese.

The deed is done: the sheeple have now tagged the article 'sheeple'.
Winamp runs on Windows, not Linux.
And chemtrails.
What is your point?
Eclipse is more versatile, I believe, and may be preferred for that reason. But I prefer NetBeans because it's all-round easier to work with for me.

Some professors and lecturers actually make their own assignments. Or simply copy the ones in some book. Copyright infringement? Oh noes.
They're the ones harvesting resources.

I was thinking more like: yellow is neutral, red is enemy. So, air-burst a big bomb with this, take satellite pics, and you have an instant minimap!
