Too bad! This must have actually been working. If you boil it down to money, in order for the SPAM industry to spend time & money to attack, it HAD to have been costing them something (or posing a threat). I think this merely validates this type of response. Good job BLUE! Maybe someone with more guts will pick up the baton.
We've seen this whole thing before when NASA & JPL announced Quaoar. (See previous/. posting) OH! And lets not forget Sedna! Are they just trying to keep recycling "new planet" headlines to give themselves more attention?
It looks like keyboard support is flaky & browser version dependent. I'm using Firefox 1.0.4 on XP2 box with a standard english keyboard layout. Just like 'generic-man', my space bar is a "page down" when used with these customized controls.
Thanks for the back-up 'generic-man'!
This looks nice but, as many seem to forget about, the keyboard functionaility (eg: Tab then Spacebar to select) just isn't there. I have several users that still don't feel comfortable with a mouse.
If you all recall in 2002 they pulled the same PR stunt and called it Quatoar. It is still buried in Nasa's site at: http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2002/07oct _neww orld.htm
Issues: I've been a DirecTV subscriber for 5 years. The only problem I have is with SEVERE electric storms here in the Midwest. Sometimes my Microwave will scramble the signal, but I thinks that's the microwaves fault.
Customer Service: At one point when I had a cable package for internet at the same time as satellite the people at the cable company cared very little for their customers. The DirecTV reps always work with me when I RARELY have a question or problem. (I've called DirecTV maybe 3 times in the last 5 years.)
Quality: I was never impressed with cable. The quality seems more grainy. I also couldn't stand not having immediate on screen menus. All in all I perceive my satellite as being crystal clear.
Cost: I've always paid less for more with satellite.

Oops. I meant to say Quaoar.
