Except that people contemplating suicide arent normally in complete control of their senses, if someone has depression its going to leave them a lot more vulnerable to someone incouraging them to kill themselves than if it was suggested to you or I.
If you do come to London please don't look at any of the building built or maintained by the taxpayers, use the roads, public transport, or do anything that might cost the british people money. We didn't pay all those taxes for you to use our stuff.
so you're saying we can observe loads of other much further away browndwarfs but we couldn't find one that's closer to us than anything else in the gallaxy?
tycho brahe just measuered postions on the known wandering stars for ages, apparently just foor the crack of it he didn't do any real science he just had good equipment and a lot of time on his hands. It wasn't till keppler got hold of his data that anything usefull happned.
Amatuer astonomers may be good at finding new objects in the night sky but that doesn't mean they all have the training to fully analayse what they find.
The additional energy comes from slowing down jupiters orbit, if jupiter wasn't moving then all the energy you gain getting close to jupiter would be used up escapping its gravitational field again. as it is the probe will fly behind jupiter in its orbit so as jupiter moves in its orbit it will pull the probe a little way along with it increasing the speed of the probe.
Only if this twin star was a brown dwarf or the like it would be close enough to observe its distance by the parallax effect.
I personaly don't think its very likely that our sun is or was part of a binary system. If the other star was still fusing we'd be able to see it and if it had expired we could observe it's planetary nebula. If something as interesting as a companion to the sun was that close by we'd probably know about it by now.
Rather than try to extract the minerals from an asteroid in space why not jsut rbing one back to earth and dump it somewhere where it won't bother anyone, like Utah

Not really, i mean you can do it without Gauss' law its just much harder which was my point.
Or you could use gauss's law and work it out much faster without as much painful integration.

video compression??? then what are those massive drives for??

Thats all well and good but did anyone stop to ask the hamster's how _they_ felt about it?
And then play pinball?
I'm one of SCO's lawyers
Finaly this might stop women complaing that the computer did what thy told it instead of what they wanted it to do.
Slashdot has been slashdotted, this crappy little news thing is jsut up untill the traffic dies down and they can put the real site back up...

Surely BSD will be dead by then anyway.
