And now my entire lab is going Linux, because this Win 10 thing and auto updates means our systems would be at risk.

I was testing Win 10 until that news broke, now I'm advising everyone I know to stay with Win 7 or even Win8.x. I may end up doing a second Win 7 partition and allowing it to upgrade to Win 10 just so I can answer the few support questions from my friends that don't listen to my do not upgrade warning... there are always a few...

(Thank you frovingslosh for mentioning my mistake before I had time to comment myself). The dimensions I quoted are not km, but earth radii. That's what you get for copy/pasting from Wikipedia without even thinking (it should be obvious to anyone that Pluto is larger than a fraction of a km in diameter).

To be fair, it looks a lot bigger when it's excited.
Judging from the photos it was Very Happy to see New Horizons...

Right. I've worked on stuff that can crush a full size car without much load increase on the hydraulic pumps. And when I worked on that stuff, I had all the low voltage fuses in my pockets and my own padlock on the lock out lever of the power panel. The machines move too fast and with enough force that they would not notice a bit of flesh getting crushed until it was too late. On top of that, every machine I ever saw (CNC, relay and limit switch, or sonar actuated) had well marked exclusion zones that you just do not enter when the unit is energized... Unless the guy got inside the cage and then closed it up to over ride basic security(cage open=power off) I just can't understand this happening.
