The planet they found is close enough that they should be able to analyze its atmosphere using powerful telescopes.

Its probably no good for life though. Its a water planet, but its a little too close to its star and its almost certainly tidally locked (one side is always lit, one side is dark) with extremely high atmospheric pressure keeping the water from boiling off on the star side.

The important thing is that it was discovered very quickly using a new, cheap detection technique. That’s a good sign; it suggests there are lots of watery planets.

John, could the Intel 17 core processor actually be an i7 Core processor? the i7 and i5 lines are the new chip brand names, similar to “Pentium”.

Maybe MythBusters should do a show about the reliability of the cloud.

I heard a rumor that eHarmony isn’t actually a dating service but is actually just collecting personality profiles for Homeland Security.

Help Looking for shareware.

It all fails sooner or later.

I am rebuilding a Win Me computer for my parents. I need a site that gives me Win Me software.

Looks like I needs a oldversion site with os search.

Thanks

After 30 minutes trying to post to twitter, which is down, the cloud must be spreading.

Too late in the morning to be snark

John,

Could you at least prep for your Tech 5 update? Listening to you try to dry read something you have not looked over prior to doing the update is a waste of my time and yours.
