Very well said! I was brewing up a reply in the line of this one so thanks for well stated input and reassuring good views. Sometimes I really fear that the/. community is getting more and more filled up and "taken over" by bitter, scared technology faschists and small wanna-bes who think they're CS professionals and far superior to "the common user" just because they've managed to rebuild a kernel. I know, now I sound like a big snob but it's not like that. What gets me so wind up is the stupidity of trying to keep technology obscure just for the sake of it. If you're not secure enough in yourself and your abilities to handle the fact that a user with less knowledge of computers and technology than you have is able to rebuild their linux kernel then you really need to take a long, hard look at yourself.
Open Source you say? Well for goodness sake let's at least start with open and accessible OSs for all!
I definitely go for "dark matter" as the reason for the course changes.
Everyone seems to be pretty much agreed that there has to be some form of matter out there that cannot be recognised by us yet. If this is the case then that matter would surely be affecting the course of an object travelling through space.
Regardless of whether or not dark matter exists or even is matter, there clearly has to be something exerting a force on objects, light etc in order to explain the deviations from predicted behavior that is often recorded, and this something would also be a good candidate for pushing our probes around don't you think?
Well NASA.. there you have it. A/.er has spoken and solved it all for you. You may contact me for my CV and, yes, I would consider a position as a general giver of advice and problem-solver at the ISS.
Snatch is a real little pearl in my book. Loved Lock, stock... and liked Snatch almost as much. The soundtrack alone is a good reason to get excited and if you can appreciate the hilarious black humor of Guy Ritchie then Snatch can't go wrong.
A comic look at the east-end punters, loosers and hardcases that makes you feel like your in for the ride!
Real fun also to see Brad Pitt playing what he does best.. small weird-looking nutter, 'cause lets face it...he actually isn't good looking...just weird-looking.
Vinnie Jones is a source of joy as always.. those of you who aren't into english football might be missing a facet of the cool that is Vinnie but just imagine that man on a premier league football-field...being just about the same as he is in character. Needless to say, he was sent off quite a lot.
