Since people buying Leopard will obviously be upgrading from a previous OS, and the Leopard "full" OS will only come shipped on new Macs, won't that make it a little difficult to just dump it on an x86 machine's blank drive?
That's a NOVA, when the accumulated mass around a white dwarf in a binary system is launched outward, which the star regularly does. This would be a SUPERNOVA, when the white dwarf within the binary system actually explodes from within.
Don't you even know how BitTorrent works? The bandwidth is distributed -- the initial seeds might have to come from the main BT servers, but almost everyone will download their content from other BitTorrent users.
I have found a compromise between diet and regular, and become a fan of Coca-Cola C2. It is essentially 1/2 Coke and 1/2 Diet Coke. Doesn't taste too bad at all.
I was always annoyed by the fact that, though the movie tried to be vaguely scientifically accurate, their ability to communicate with the people traveling thousands of miles beneath the earth's surface seemed magical at best. Maybe it was something like this!
This story is anything but useless, as it expands our understanding of the range of stars that can support a habitable planet. Sure, this world is probably too far from the red dwarf to have life, but the finding proves that red dwarf star systems can have rocky worlds like ours, perhaps even close enough to the star.
The previous poster was right -- SCIENCE IS INCREMENTAL. We can't shrug off discoveries like these simply because they don't "excite".
Hence the problem. Because you threw the letter in the rubbish, anyone from the future of that timeline couldn't have known about its existence and thus could not have travelled back to speak to you...Since rubbish most certainly is not recorded in minute detail, let alone publicised.
Yeah, that was...that was my whole point. I was trying to be funny, dude.:P
When I was younger, I once wrote an ambitious letter to an unknown person of the future, asking them to time travel back to the moment I was writing the letter and visit me, and tell me what the future was like. I had a grand vision of protecting the letter and keeping it in the family for generations to come.
After signing the letter and waiting a few minutes, the time travelers never showed up. So, with a heavy sigh, I threw the letter in the trash.
Clicking the "the payload for the space station" link in the submission takes you to a page about Liliana Villarreal, with a prominent photo of her smiling in a clean suit.
All I'd like to know is, what sort of experiments are they planning to do with her, exactly?;)
I get the feeling it had something to do with the ISS, because that's around when the problems really began.
Yet you cite Skylab as a NASA success? I would argue the Internaitonal Space Station has been exponentially more useful than Skylab was.
Anyway, these "problems" you speak of didn't necessarily begin at any certain time; they've always been inherent with having a large, publicly-owned, government-run space agency. Things get done faster and more efficiently with a private company because they're willing to take more risk and aren't accountable to anyone but themselves.
Good question! On that note, why do we have well-maintained roads and highways, and streetlamps, and hospitals, and schools, and firemen and policemen? Why don't we just privatize EVERYTHING, dammit!!

I, for one, welcome our new silicon-brain overlords.
Ah, Reboot lives on...

Remember this flare was last Wednesday. The sun is actually quiet at the moment -- check www.spaceweather.com for the latest info.
I saw a commercial version of this "hack" that you plug into the wall. I think it was just a repeater. Can anyone confirm this?

The snake was also found in the fossilized remains of a lush garden -- specifically, near an apple tree.

"The early bird stomps the worm!"
...the use of hypnosis to recover repressed memories?
I think the validity of that is still in question.
At the very least, we'll be able to prevent murders on Mars...from thirty years ago...

Uranus and Neptune probably have them too, but are too far away to see them clearly from Earth-based telescopes.

Someone has modded the PSP to allow the user to do pretty much freaking everything on the PSP. Screenshots and movies to follow.

You're right, since the video is 2-dimensional.
It's only a matter of time before they run out of letters. I see a crisis at hand, here!!
I think allowing private corps access to any sort of space venture is bad news.
You gonna back that up with something, or what? That's a pretty silly generalization to make.

Looks like somebody's been reading a little too much of Richard Hoagaland's web site. ;)
