This equipment was built using commercial hardware: two digital cameras, attached to telephoto camera lenses on a robotic equatorial mount. A team of amateur astronomers helped with their own equipment to discard or confirm dozens of suspected transits.

Seems like a cool organisation. Wikipedia: "Mayo Clinic is significant in the way the medical physicians' are paid. In most health care systems, medical doctors are paid based on the number of patients that they see. The more patients seen, the more a doctor gets paid. At Mayo Clinic, medical doctors are paid a salary that is unaffected by patient volume. This allows the doctors to spend time with their patients and not worry so much about time constraints. Physicians and surgeons have no undue influence upon them to do more procedures and operations."
That's a marvellous philosophy if you ask me, and they still made US$5.6 billion in 2004. Good for them.

the average TiVo household makes "something like" 357 clicks per day. With 4.4 million households, this works out to be over a half a billion clicks every single year. No wonder my fast forward button wore off on my remote
So what happened to my pause button?.. uh... nevermind.
Your type really makes me puke! You snotty, malodourous, perverts!
Hmmm, yeah, that probably needs some smilies and html markup to make the emotional context clearer.
In *addition* to all those hard hitting extra commas? Whoa..

It definitely does if you're allergic to peanuts;)
I managed to crash Firefox rather spectacularly the other day. I don't remember how, exactly (it was a combination of probably 10 extensions) and I got a Netscape Navigator error dialog before it closed.
I'm sure a source browse will show this up, strange though
