@chimp_lord: Those 'content providers' that want DRM and crap are not to be taken into the format discussion, let them play that game on googlezon's 'non-public internet' with their 'veroogle' browser or whatever they will come up with.

@Necoras: I was told the theory was that it once was a planet, but I guess the views come and go.

@theroselli: RADAR?

@floorman56001: They come in all sizes, but to detect them I guess they have to have a certain minimum size though, they don't give off light after all and its not easy in the vastness of space, even if they are in a known area.

@jsmuli2: He was joking heh.

@mikeslps: The Oxford dictionary accepts alright as a word, as do most dictionaries I assume.
