I didn't know you, and I was never lucky enough to get an email reply from you, but you changed my world and made it a better place. I'll miss you, Steve.
That would be the mass media.
The astronomers just came up with a definition that would make their work easier to describe and categorise.

Could it be that the lack of Banks books in a second hand bookstore has more to do with the fact that people don't often part with his books?
Just a thought from an Aussie who's never had any trouble acquiring any of them (except Against a Dark Background, which always seems to be out of stock when I realise there's a friend who hasn't read it yet).
I often used coke for cleaning when I had braces on my teeth. Worked a treat... (or at least, that's how I convinced my parents to buy me coke when I had better things to spend my pocket money on)
I stopped watching television on air about three years ago, because it was too hard trying to keep up with what the networks were doing to it.
Futurama was shown completely out of order, Farscape was tossed around from one timeslot to another before finally being shown consistantly in an afternoon spot and Buffy and Angel were never in sync due to things being shuffled around for sports or other 'specials' one night of the week, so crossovers would never match up.
A great example just recently was that Channel 7 stopped showing Desperate Housewives (and Lost?) for three weeks 'because of Easter'. I don't know anyone who took three weeks off for easter (even the schools stayed open save for the public holidays) so I'm not sure why they would do this.
It's so much easier to just download things (and later buy them on DVD) than to try and figure out what's going on with the show you want to watch. Make it easier for us (either show it on tv in good time or let us download it for a fee) and maybe more people will watch tv.
According to Lois and Clark canon, at least, Clark travelled the world for several years before coming to Metropolis. That could have something to do with the softening of his accent.
I was getting the error message too, then after closing the notifier, and reopening it, it was the new version.
It would have been nice if it had killed the old version and started the new one after updating. Since they are going around behind my back to update anyway, why not make it work?
George Lucas originally wanted to use classical music for the soundtrack to Star Wars. Particularly, the planets.
However, Steven Spielberg introduced him to John Williams who suggested doing a full symphonic score for the film.
I'm certain that John listened to George's suggestions with regards to the feel of the music.
I'd actually just started folding a crane while absent-mindedly hitting refresh on slashdot.
It has to be the first origami I've done in a month, and I was thinking of looking up some new things to attempt.
Of course, my favourite is still Yoda (Instructions, pdf).
You can indeed project an image of the sun with your telescope. You align the telescope so that the image of the sun is lined up with the shadow of the telescope, and then place a piece of cardboard where the image is and focus as needed. Usually having the cardboard a meter and a half or so away will give you the best image.
Of course, being in Ontario, you'll probably miss the transit.
There are a number of places in Sydney holding events for the transit. It seems that Sydney Observatory is booked out, though you can go along in the evening to watch various webcasts of the transit as it goes on in sunnier places.
The event I'm involved with is the Macquarie University Observatory event, which is taking place on the vacant lot at the intersection of Culloden and Talavera Roads, North Ryde (out behind the uni, not at the observatory).
For a gold coin donation you'll be able to look through a telescope at Venus, see the video display from one of our ccd cameras, observe the sun through a variety of projection methods and also with eclipse shades. So, it's good value, and all proceeds go to building a new observatory and planetarium (as opposed to the Feed the Starvind Astronomers Foundation, which I think is a more noble cause).
We'll be there from 3pm, see here for more information.

That's not a horse, it's a gungan.
Do not want! :)
My boyfriend first asked me out on ICQ, five years ago now.
No, you can't copyright the horizontal rumba. It's been public domain for the last hundred years or so. *smirks*
The Voodoo Lady used MSG in her recipes as one of the mixed herbs.
I feel the need to point out that there was a Sailor Ceres.
And Sailor Xena could have been cute...in a disturbing kind of way (but no way near as disturbing as the Starlights).

How about the rest of the DMCA which is being implemented as part of the australian / usa free trade agreement?
Also because 'untamperable' sounds sucky.
If that were actually funny it would remind me of John Howard's blog (he's the prime minister of australia).
Here's hoping this will hold out: .torrent
The Quicktime
Why did they have a break over easter when the school break (and hence people being away from their tvs) isn't for another few weeks?
Surely if they are competing, they want to be showing good stuff all the time?
This is why I don't watch tv. It doesn't make sense.

You missed the fact that it's a parody of the Swift Boat Veterans For Truth campaign.

The full moon occurs at 4am Sunday morning here in Australia, meaning that for us, the blue moon occurs next month.
