For obvious reasons, a telescope based in Antartica will only be able to map half of the sky. The only way a ground-based telescope would be able to map the entire sky would be for it to be located on the equator, and even then, you may have to wait six months for a particular target to come into view (assuming your telescope can be pointed near the horizon).
Hubble can image almost any celestial target every 97 minutes.
Either the earlier theories of planetary formation, based entirely on what we observed here in the Solar system, are wrong...
-or-
They're right, and scores of astrophycsicists around the world who confirm the findings of their colleagues are all doing the planetary mass and orbital radius calculations wrong in the same way.
Control-Escape activates the Start Menu Escape closes the Start menu but leaves the Taskbar active Tab from Start button to Quick Launch (if you have it) to Taskbar apps, to Systray. Arrow Keys will nav to desired item (in QL, Taskbar or Systray) Return performs default action, or Shift-F10 activates right-click menu.
That's how I navigate my auto-hidden Taskbar.
Alt-Space activates Application Window menu and from there I can choose:
R - Restore M - Move S - Size N - Minimize X - Maximize C - Close
If I choose Move or Size, the arrow keys allow me to perform those actions quickly and precisely.
When resizing/moving, the arrow key by itself resizes/moves the window in increments of about 10 px, while Control-Arrow will resize/move in increments of 1px.
It seems everyone knows Alt-Tab, but did you know that Shift-Alt-Tab moves backwards through the apps?
I almost exclusively use the keyboard for my navigation and window management. I always have every window maximized, and I always auto-hide the Taskbar. I'm so much faster than my cow-orkers at working in multiple windows.
You want indirect (incandescent or natural) lighting for anyone who spends all day in front of a CRT/LCD. I've been sitting in front of one myself for 15 years now, and I never had eyestrain/headaches when I had my own office and could turn off the flourescent lights and just have a simple single halogen lamp with a dimmer to give off a nice soft glow bounced off the ceiling. If the monitor is brighter (but too much) than the ambient light, it is much easier on the eyes.
Everything else is a matter of personal preference, so good luck with that.
Define soul. Now, give me an example of how that "soul" solves a business problem for me.
You can't? Why not? What good is "soul" in a browser if it doesn't do anything for me or my business? How does "soul" in a browser make me more efficient in what I do with a browser?
Don't kid yourself. Sure, now it's fine, the 10MO doesn't realize that you are gone most of the time. All he knows is that about half the time, the daddy guy is around and is fun.
When they get to 4+ years, they know when you are gone. I have 4 girls (10,10,6,3) and they *know* when I'm gone for a night.
Also, I work for a company where a lot of the people travel. They leave Monday morning, and come back Friday night. They do this for ten years hoping to reach partner level. Then, when they can throttle back, they often get the message from their kids, "Go away, we don't want you here during the week." It ends up that the kids resent his presence because then they have to share Mom, which they hadn't had to deal with for 10 years.
If I were you, I'd try to cut back on the traveling; that is, if you want to have a good relationship with your son in 5-7 years.
(Just now noticed last line of your post regarding not doing it in 2-3 years. Good. But I am posting this anyway so that others can read cautionary tale.)
Are you just looking at the return addresses of what you have classified as SPAM? In that case, I'd better consider myself a spammer, as I sent myself a grand total of five SPAM today.
I'm guessing that rather than looking at likely spoofed From addresses, the study looked at originating IP addresses, although those can be spoofed too.
Man, that's an excellent point.
Except for one small thing.
The wheel wasn't square. It was (duh) round, hence, it worked and did the job well, and so everyone started using it.
You should buy one of these (http://preparedness.com/ecoblasrecai.html) and whenever he starts shouting across the room, fire it off. If he complains, tell him to stick his fingers in his ears or listen to music.
Great idea. And you don't have to worry at all about the rocks and dust that have been accumulating there for billions of years. They won't affect the sensitive optics nor will they block the view.
Why hasn't anyone thought of that before?
Can you read? It's the water in the air that is absorbing the red light. Mars doesn't have anywhere near the amount of water in the atmosphere as Earth, hence more red light gets through.

Well, you've got one of two choices to make here.

I know what I'm going with.
Okay, you're an idiot.
They mean lightest extrasolar planet, or, for the idiots in the audience, lightest planet discovered outside of the Solar system.
In the US, the law requires that the video signal must be blanked/switched off when the vehicle starts moving. Audio can continue to play.
Of course, it is a simple matter to bypass the video lockout, and people can and do have in-dash DVD players playing video while driving.
Why hasn't any thought about using two Bluetooth devices for stereo headphones? One for each channel?
Yeah, I know, that would really suck batteries, but it would work.

Don't apologize. I've seen 100 (one hundred) MB PP files that should have been just a few MB due to editing.
Shouldn't that be MIM (Mozilla is MIM)?
I spray my monitor because of you, and you only got a 2?!?
