Just note, the data used with respect to cell phone usage was less than 40 minutes per day. Yes, the base data is that old. How much do folks use there phones now ?

My word, you are correct. 380 M LY as local has even more awesomesauce dumped on it.

You know the universe is large, when things out to 380 LY away are referred to as "local"

Many new finds will have portions of the find left unexcavated/unopened for the explicit reason that better techniques may be available in the future, so they leave them alone until then.

Oh ho! Another source for Melted Nanoribbons! Can't wait to get them to Jita before the market crashes

He's not the commander-in-chief.

And no substitute for checking your spelling.

1) We're still looking. It helps to find planets so we know where to look. Space is big, really.
2) By 'water' I will assume you mean water in its liquid phase, because water in solid form has been found all over the place. Its common as muck.
3) As soon as you can tell me exactly what you mean by "like earth". Do you mean with oceans and land and nitrogen/oxygen rich atmosphere with white and black sand beaches and restaurants where the steak overhangs the plate on 3 sides? If you mean have you found a planet which you could beam down to without breathing/life support gear (and live), then no, not yet.

As for the discoveries being hokum, it sounds like you're waiting for the ULTIMATE DISCOVERY. Sorry guy, but its all incremental knowledge that will let us find the big stuff. Finding important stuff in hard to find places a long way away tends not to be done "by accident" but by years of hard work. Any idiot can discover the moon on his own, but can you honestly say that you could have discovered that the Earth moves around the sun, and not the other way around?

Would you spend the years in careful observation, with meticulous record keeping, facing the storms of "intelligent criticism", to collect enough data to prove your point to the world that your crazy idea makes sense? Lots of professional people do, they are scientists; lots of other people do too, they can be hobbyists; lots of crazy people do too, they may be just crazy.

There is no substitute for hard work in scuence.

I have dual monitors, each 1280x1024, the left hand monitor is full of icon, the right hand one has 6 columns full. counting, I see 13 rows by 17 columns on the first then 6 columns on second.

Should I be scared that at least a dozen of the icons are folders to other file locations.
br> I know what you're thinking, and you're right. My physical desks are 4" deep in paper.

My laptop has an 18" monitor. When at home, it has a 22" secondary display

Having success against targeting drone is one thing, but up against the living?

Good Grief! I haven't heard that song in ages. Thanks for the guffaw

My laptop doesn't come with a car socket plug in. It simply draws too much current. ASUS W90VP http://www.anandtech.com/show/2772

hmmm webSense turned off at the moment here.

BTW, interesting how the exterior temp rose near the apex of the flight - I'm not sure I understand why. But then, this is almost rocket science.
