How do they measure that? As an amateur astronomer, I understand relative magnitude but...wow. I'm guessing they use some other method? Also, would this star be considered a super-massive blue giant or...?
On the laptop I use most often, which belonged to my late wife, half the disk is Vista with all her files which I haven't the heart to remove. She allowed me to install the open source software we all know and love and after she passed away I kept the OS updated, installed MSE and backed up all her files. But I think the most important thing I did to protect this little piece of her life was to install Ubuntu on the other half of the disk where full access to the Vista side is just a click away without having to boot it.
I went round and round with Kaiser Permanente for years with all visits ending with something like, "Oh, look at the kitty. Have a nice day." When I retired and moved out of state, my insurance was changed to Blue Cross with about the same hearing aid coverage; mostly little to none. With Blue Cross' annual deductible, various co-payments, etc. going up every year, I made the decision to make the VA my primary care provider. I did have to pay the VA but it was a lot less than I was giving Blue Cross. To the point, I received my hearing aids in less than a month. If you are a vet and can't hear, go to the VA.
From Alfred Lord Tennyson's poem In Memoriam:27, 1850:
I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.
You must not let fear of the unknown keep you from living your life. Pursue this woman you fancy; see if you fit.
If you can really type 90-110 wpm using improper technique, you are already typing faster than 99.99% of professional typists. I'd call out just about anyone who claims they can type more than 65 wpm or so.
Oh, and there are plenty of places on the web where you can learn proper technique. After that, it's just practice.
Damn, it took me five minutes to type this and I don't care.
I like the idea of space herring for a couple of reasons. It would lend credence to the poem 'Wynken, Blynken and Nod' which mom read to me as a child and it would give the Discovery Channel something to look forward to other than another case of crabs.
I believe you hit on the most important point; Quality of Life. In my wife's fight with cancer, this is what was most important to her. She battled courageously to the point she felt she had done all she could, then made the conscious decision to let fate take its course. She didn't just 'give up', purse, she just realized the cancer was very aggressive, nothing was working and she had had enough. From that point on, she serenely and calmly ordered her remaining life the way she wanted it to proceed.
I am glad that she was able to make this decision for herself. If she had been incapacitated in any way and unable to do this, the burden of the last decision would have fallen on me and that would have been an extremely difficult situation to be in. At the first sign of a life threatening illness, a 'Living Will' is probably the most important document you can execute.
Interesting too that as science has advanced, homeopathy's claims of effectiveness have made corresponding advances. They now say that through the tincture process, the water molecules become imprinted at the quantum level by the substance being watered down. I'm sure they could fit this nicely with recent speculation that the universe may have some holographic attributes.

Better to want to do the very best you can where you are in life. I wouldn't trade my 65 years of experiences and my white hair for anything in this world.
So, your 'nerve' hearing is okay? In the everyday world without my hearing aids I am basically deaf but if I rub the skin anywhere around my ear, I hear it just fine. My hearing problem is outer ear mechanical blockages caused by a severe case of swimmers ear and bone growing behind the tympanic membrane but my nerve hearing is great. My $10k aids are just an inexpensive, non-invasive way to help me hear a little better and I would imagine the amplified sound resonating in the surrounding bone is a big part of the improved hearing.
Exactly what I was thinking as my wife of 38 years passed away last month.
However, because she was a regular commenter at many sites, had gmail, yahoo and other online accounts and was an online researcher for a law firm, there are many bits and pieces of her thoughts out there already.
Installed the 64 bit version on a new Toshiba L305D with an AMD Turion X2 processor, ATI Radeon graphics and 3GB ram. Though partitioning was a minor pain in the ass (fat32, swap, logical), all went well and the entire install took about 20 minutes.
I was concerned the Atheros wifi was going to cause me problems but all it required was the ssid and passkey. Having problems talking to the Samba share on my Debian box though. Ext4 has had no hiccups, so far.
Dual booted in case I ran into more problems than I have time to fix right now but I feel comfortable scraping Vista off the HDD now.
Like, once you retire, the kids become more important than you.
I hope to god you've never said that to your parents. If any of my kids or grandkids said that to me I'd be very hurt.
I've been retired for eleven years and my wife and I have been very generous in helping the kids over rough spots. If I ever heard anything like this from one of them, I might just find a new beneficiary for my Lump-Sum death benefit.
I know nothing about phone hardware or operating systems but I'm assuming from the article that, say, upgrading a newer Palm Centro to webOS would be impossible?
I would like to think that a modder with 15 points to dispense got those points because they are able to recognize the value of a comment not because it fits their mindset but because it inspired thought beyond what they previously considered.
I've yet to visit a web page that could get a pop-up past iceweasel's blocker, AdblockPlus or NoScript. What bugs me are important sites, such as my medical provider, requiring pop-ups to make full use of their information.

"I'm an educated black man..."
You're neither. You're an errand boy, sent by grocery clerks, to collect a bill.
"How far can a 80 mph car go?"
About 580,000 rods per hogshead, depending.
A writer in prison? I think it's more likely he'll be a 'wide receiver'.
Oh god! Is that you, Dr Lippmann? I haven't heard those two words in 45 years. I think it was integrated algebra and trig class.

What happens when there is a surfactant in the water?
Also, not so sure that most spiders can stay completely dry like a polar bear can.
Oh, by the way, don't bother trying to trademark the name 'Polar Hair'. It's already taken.

Really! Just mark it as a 4" natural gas line. Any backhoe operator worth his salt knows that cooked backhoe guy isn't a pretty sight.
