Well, it's the image of amateur astronomy that he did a disservice to. When I mention to friends or family that I'm into astronomy, it's unfortunate that they think of this guy in a polyester suit.
I was amused by Thurrott's comment about swapping drives:
One final point about WHS storage. Were you to pull a drive out of WHS and try to access the disk from another Windows-based PC, that system would see the disk as standard NTFS. So it will work anywhere, though of course the backups are written in a proprietary data format.
Of course.
That's like saying "This cell phone will work anywhere -- as long as it's on Cingular".
This "Democrat Party" name is a very clever idea whipped up by Republicans. This way, they can subtly imply that the Democratic Party is not really Democratic. I'm proud to say that most members of the "Democrat Party" don't stoop to this kind of newspeak.
I don't think this will stop my digital SLR. The sensor isn't exposed except when the mirror flips up for a very short period during exposure. I doubt if it's possible (or at least simple) to seek out and blind the camera in this short interval.
Since most pro photographers (who are using digital) use this kind of a camera, it won't stop many of them. It'll just stop the amateurs who compose their picture while staring at the LCD screen on their point-and-shoot digitals. And, of course, it will stop video cameras.

So there were only hundreds of thousands of unique CAPTCHA images in use? Pretty lame, if it's true.
I think it looks like a bunny rabbit.
Can someone please explain how airborne telescoped deal with all the vibration? I mean, I spill my drink every time I fly.
