The three tiny moons, called the Alkyonides group, are embedded in Saturn's E ring, and their surfaces are sprayed by ice particles originating from the jets of water ice, water vapor and organic compounds emanating from the south polar area of Enceladus.
So basically it's a spray on coating of organic material, AKA planetary porn.

Come on. If you are setting up a sandbox, why would you still use IE? I'd lock it into a kiosk mode (there are a few packages out there to do this with Windows), install Mozilla and make it both the default browser and the only "Internet" icon on the locked down.
And any ten year old will soon find a site that doesn't work with Moz, go into "My Computer" and type in the URL in the address bar. Since IE can't be removed , we're back to square one.
Windows is like a technology with a terminal illness. Only the Micro-minded will continue to pour all of their money and resources into keeping the dying patient on life support. Do yourself a favor and pull the plug already.

Ya, sure you could do the same thing with Windows, but I guaruntee you that within a couple of hours the machine will be reduced to a steaming pile of virus-laden adware.
Get those recovery disks ready, because you will be routinely reinstalling Windows after your compu-toddler innocently clicks on the wrong popup that Bonzai-Buddy encouraged him to explore.
If you don't believe me, I have four kids and nine desktop machines in the house to prove it. A couple of years ago most of the wretched Winboxes were transformed into LTSP workstations, and the remaining games machines were blocked at the firewall for all HTTP, Mail and IM traffic.
IANARS (I am not a rocket scientist), but I don't think that Galilleo has enough fuel to attain escape velocity from the Jovian system. Therefore it would just keep on orbiting haphazardly until it crashed into something.

Dear colleague,
We have recently become aware that those naughty Earthlings from the third planet are planning yet another attack on the solar system.
As you are well aware, those nasty Earth people have sent a number of projectiles slamming into your peaceful planet over the last few solar cycles. These atacks have become more sophisticated and have been increasing in numbers over time.
It now appears that a nuclear armed projectile that has been spying on our planetary system will be sent plunging into our atmosphere. The consequences of this act are grave and disturbing to say the least.
As a result of this latest attack, please be advised that we will be redirecting several asteroids from the main artillary field located between our two planets past your peaceful red planet toward the third planet in order to send a firm message to the Earthlings.
You will be happy to learn that once we have obliterated the Earth, you will then have an unobscured view of Venus.
Great, now I can lose my monitor behind the couch. Whereas you can still grudgingly watch TV without a lost remote, it might get just a little difficult downoading pr0n without a monitor.
I hate to boast, but a broadband over cable only costs $CDN 29.95 per month up here in Frezzeyerassoffland. Since our dollar continues its slide against the mighty greenback, that works out to about $US 19.25 per month.
When you combine that with the fact that I don't have to put up with strip searches when I fly off to Moosejaw, it just proves the point that Canada is the best country in the world for high speed internet users that like to keep their clothes on in public places.
It's already been thought of. Go read Man Plus and its sequel Mars Plus by Frederik Pohl.
In the original book they strap an IBM mainframe in a backpack to the main character, cut out his lungs and drop him on Mars. It's fun for the whole family.

Too bad. You should have sent an irate email about it to slashdot. It looks like samzenpus can use the material.
Rindows is already taken by Chinese Lindows.

Life has been good since then.
It's ok, the trailer video is here: http://www.snowcrest.net/fox/starvid/star.ram
