Finally somebody else who also had this as their 1st machine. 256K expansion memory, 2nd floppy drive and Star NX-10 dot matrix printer to complete the set.

The NRA is going to push for sword ownership registration and legislation in order to control this obvious scourge on society.

So with a bunch of these super-duper black holes (TM) around the universe, do we still need Dark Energy (TM)?

Oh look: Big Brother is texting big brother.

Seems like there are operations on elderly people all the time that involve blood transfusions. The average age of the blood donors is likely much lower than the patients receiving the transfusions. Looks like a ready-made test group waiting to be evaluated.

Amiga 1000... wish I knew what my kid brother did with it when I upgraded to a 486DX2 33Mhz PC.

The earth has disappeared, and they're worried about a single spacecraft approaching? What about the hundredes of satellites and thousands of pieces of spacejunk that are about to get pulled into the lunar gravity well, along with them?

Has everybody already forgotten this article?

Maybe "2X" is just algebra, as in "for small values of X", or "where X is in the range [0.5,1]".

Maybe we have an alternate (or additional) explanation for cosmic gamma ray bursts - aliens are coming to visit, oh my!

It occured to me that rather than try to make the moon travel interstellar distances, maybe they'll have the people and moon base travel between realities... it'll be like "Sliders In Space" (obligatory echo-ie voice a la "Pigs in Space").

If I recall, the response was "We were going to announce it on Tuesday". Time to pull out the DVD again, I guess.
