Maybe this is a stupid question, but why would a library computer have the Google Desktop search installed? Library computers are for, as far as I know, surfing the internet if you're broke. There shouldn't be anything on the machine to search for in the first place.
Just seems like a silly arguement. I daresay it's like someone giving a gun to a madman, and then declaring that the gun is dangerous because it helps the madman shoot people. The gun is only dangerous if you give it to the madman. Google desktop is only dangerous if it's users are stupid.
Hubble can't exactly operate 24/7.. I believe it orbits the earth at a fairly fast rate, and can only do work when it's out of direct sunlight. It can maybe operate 50% of the time.. 12 hours a day. Roughly the same as an earth based telescope.
