How many of these planets are in the goldilocks zone? Sure we can find them; but which ones are livable for Carbon based lifeforms?

Who gets a new phone every month? I still have a Blackberry 9700 and that does everything that I need.

The Universe is so large that it cannot possibly be that we are the only life thriving on a planet orbiting a star. There would be countless other lifeforms out in space on countless planets. I wonder if it is possible that a rogue planet could harbour life. Say if it was thrown out of a solar system but volcanism was keeping it warm enough for life to survive. How long would that last? As that was a plot point in Star Trek Enterprise.

This seems like a good way to enforce strong password policies. if they are strong enough; they should help prevent password re-use. The only problem with this is the problem of people writing these down. We need a better online authentication system for 2013.

They might only be using MD5 in MySQL and calling that hashed and salted, but that is not much protection these days is it?

But you can run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop though. And it has SSH enabled by default.

There are so many fake accounts on Facebook, how will the real name policy be enforced? You can name yourself anything you want and get away with it. That is what I have noticed anyway.

The novel Sundiver by David Brin did this; they used a powerful laser to suck heat out of the Sundiver craft within the atmosphere of the Sun.

No, the great core explosion; this is why the Puppeteers have sent the fleet of worlds to escape the disaster.

When will Nvidia and ATI release proper open source drivers instead of us having to install a binary blob to get our hardware working? That would really help if there were drivers that could ship in the kernel to handle ATI hardware instead of the closed source options.

Why don`t you take a seat over there. Did you know that flash drive was under 16GiB?

If it was orbiting Earth; could it orbit low enough to attract all of the space junk? Is there a way to use an orbiting asteroid as a platform for a massive cleanup operation in space?

Cry moar. If only they would shut down Farmville; there would be riots in the streets.

Works pretty well with Xfce4 on Linux Mint 14. But I used the AMD Catalyst Control Centre to setup my dual screens. This does need to be built into the distributions though with some sort of utility.

And GEOS for DOS as well. That was pretty good. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GEOS_(16-bit_operating_system)
