I think you hit the nail. Just like Don Quixote, you have to appreciate how different this book is from other works of that time. We are talking about 1605, a few people could write, read, and most of the book were about religious stuff and natural philosophy.
I finished reading The Catcher in the Rye just yesterday. I think teenagers can appreciate that book just like I enjoyed reading The War of the Buttons by Louis Pergaud when I was twelve.
Ray, since humans are not perfect beings, any technology created until now have vulnerabilites introduced by human error. Do you think that, after the Singularity, a machine will be able to overcome and correct these vulnerabilites, becoming a perfect entity, or the capabilities of the superintelligence emerging by technological means will be bounded by errors inherited from their creators?
3) If you see any kind of motion before 0:07, then prepare to receive Nobel prize. Does the detected motion occur before the dog runs away? (Also: Profit!)
I now he's not running the polls anymore, but seriously, it's not like he owns a copyright on his nickname... does he?
It seems to me that some of the geek jokes and obscure references, which made you feel like you're part of a community, have been dissappearing lately.
Nearly a decade reading./, and I did nothing but writing productive posts about "all your base", "in soviet russia" and a joke mocking the cat command... Thanks you Rob and good luck!!

We should all learn spanish and move to barrapunto.com
At least the UI is better than beta... and no Javascript! Hell, is better than classic!

I wonder if any of the several coronal mass ejections that appear in the movie interacted with the plasma tail of the comet.
When I saw a CowboyNeal option in the poll I knew that the GCHQ set up us the spoof.
If you have a GF this is most likely a movie you can take her to since it's Sandra Bullock and George Clooney.
My girlfriend is a rocket scientist, you insensitive clod!
At least "News for Nerds" is back! The rest will be added soon, I guess.
Do you think a CowboyNeal option in each poll would be asking too much?
But there's no "woosh" in interstellar space; thinner medium.
I propose "The sound of interstellar ion-acoustic waves detected by Voyager... over your head"
"TLDR" ?? :)
This recent 1-h presentation from Helen Mason at the Royal Institute is extremely informative

From the article:
"Changes to the field's polarity ripple all the way out to the Voyager probes, on the doorstep of interstellar space."
Expect new announcements about Voyager 1 reaching interstellar space in the next 3 to 4 months :P
Well I think we all agree that this story was a massive dissapointment. Does anybody know about a level from any videogame reproduced in real life?
Welcome to 1983.

I could not find any instance of the word 'flare' in the paper that I downloaded from the abstract link in the summary.
We had a discussion which I think can be relevant to this story.
1) Implement algorithm.
2) Set this video as input.
3) If you see any kind of motion before 0:07, then prepare to receive Nobel prize. Does the detected motion occur before the dog runs away? (Also: Profit!)
The IAU would agree that the CowboyNeal option is the best descriptive name for a gas giant.
Exactly!
I want the CowboyNeal option back!!!!! :)

Poincare would be so excited about this... Poincare and the three-body problem
