Precisely... you get that thing decrypted sometime between now and a thousand years and, if I'm still around, I might congratulate you!
There are some advantages to ground-based scopes versus ones such as the Hubble. For instance, you can get a great deal more sensitivity on the ground than in space simply due to the fact that the aperture of the primary mirror can be made much larger for a ground scope than a space scope. The reason behind this is cost - it is far more expensive to put a large mirror in space than on the ground. However, since it is in space, the smaller mirror does have better resolution. So it is simply a trade-off between sensitivity and resolution. With greater sensitivity, you can pull in fainter objects, but with better resolution, you can differentiate more easily between distance objects.
This is a great example of a ground-based telescope that could easily rival any space telescope:
However, I just realized that there is a means with which we can scientifically validate the theory behind the iPod's evident popularity being more so than that of beer. And what better way than to use our friend, Google?

"...area nearly 5,000 times the size of a full moon"
This statement makes no sense. Seeing as how the moon is 4.57e^6 kilometers in area, it would be:
((4.57 * e)^6) km = 3.8846214 × 10-7 light years
in area, according to Google calculator.
Galaxies are hundreds of thousands of light years in diameter, and even multiplying by 5000 times that area yields an area of 0.00192 light years. What are they trying to say when these stars cover such a small area??

It is a shame that this failed, considering all that HD-DVD has going for it. While Blu-Ray does have a better sounding name, it's also got DRM, and no one wants that.
Now, people are not going to be very impressed with HD-DVD. Considering all the effort that they put into the demo, they should have at least tried it before giving the presentation!
"...But two of the catch bottles indicated levels of gaseous oxygen in the compartment about two minutes into flight were higher than Nasa (sic) allows."
They forgot to account for the fact the crew had just eaten an Arby's Roast Beef Sandwich.
Now that they have reached close to a million articles, they think they don't need any help getting 10 million+. Seriously, it is a "free" encyclopedia. If I read something on there that I know not to be true, I can edit it. If no one catches the error, and they believe it to be "fact", well, that's kind of why you are not supposed to use Wikipedia as a scientific reference in the first place.
Wikipedia's success has come from people joining together and creating new articles, not just editing them. We need to be able to post new facts, new ideas, and new discoveries that are going on in the world. New users are the primary source of these articles.
I would rather have a "free" encyclopedia where I can post articles of my subjects of interest than having to edit those that already exist. Besides, I, like most other people out there, use Wikipedia not for scientific research, but to broaden my perspective on the various subjects out there which old fashioned books are "out of the scope" to provide insight for.
Science cannot prove that something that exists outside of our physical world does not exist. In fact, Readers Digest has shown some proof that strongly indicates the flood where Moses lead the people from Egypt really took place.
I personally prefer OS X for such things... The widgets are nice too.
As far as Linux is concerned, you can always create cron files to do your work for you. You should know how to do this since you are a Linux pro anyway.

That's the funniest thing I've read all week! Great find :D
Let me guess, is this the customer at work testing your so-called "incompetent" product?
Now how are they going to reach their goal?
Yes, in another news, one can find interesting patterns like this...
I'm still using Office '97!
Hmm, I should tell my family to quit using TIFF.
Oh, you are also forgetting the floppy disk format that Apple later adopted to their Macintosh platform.

Dang.. an ID of 410? That's impressive.
That poor mac!
See for yourself!

What about Maxis?? Can't think of a single bad game they've produced!
Of course, as everyone knows, Space Invaders is best played on the Mac :-)
It was not too terribly great, as the animations were lousy and the computer AI would gang up on you.
