If with 'long trip' Alaska is also included, then you could visit HAARP.
Might be interesting to see what all the 'new age' fuss is about in a scientific perspective.

Welcome to the neo dark age. This time not ruled by the church but by Megacorp & co that is called the western world.

When they changed the way Start works since Vista, it sucks bigtime. Having lot's of programs installed makes that list too long and the hassle of finding your program becomes too great to bother with it. The way XP works was better to me: Expand it all over your desktop. Nice a grid of all your installed apps in one sight.
Switching to classic isn't an option, it removes the shortcuts aswell. It really goes into primitive mode, 98 style.
Now I use 3rd party tools to get my OS to do what I want with it. How absurd is that?
Microsoft! Stop telling me on how to use my pc please! And bring some legacy options back that WILL enhance usability.
Comment String theory test (Score 2) 1088
In looking for possible explanations, isn't it possible that this could be a nice twist towards String Theory? If we assume extra dimensions curled up inside the 3 spatial dimensions of our own + time, isn't it then possible for a neutrino to pass trough a curled up dimension and 'tunnel' it's way to the end point e.g. kind of wormhole?
Also, what was the mass of the neutrino when it went past light speed? Should have been infinitely big.

Submission + - Buildingblocks of DNA confirmed in Meteorites (space.com)
MistrX writes: Researchers announce that the components of DNA have now been confirmed to exist in extraterrestrial meteorites. A different team of scientists also discovered a number of molecules linked with a vital ancient biological process, adding weight to the idea that the earliest forms of life on Earth may have been made up in part from materials delivered to Earth the planet by from space.
Past research had revealed a range of building blocks of life in meteorites, such as the amino acids that make up proteins. Space rocks just like these may have been a vital source of the organic compounds that gave rise to life on Earth.

MistrX writes: Researchers from TNO have made a world wide breakthrough in the battle against lethal bacteria such as EHEC. Food scientists from TNO were able to find natural ingredients that effectively cut bacteria short that had become resistent to antibiotics. The discovery has been tested using the ESBL-bacterium, but is also applicable against the EHEC-bacterium. The finding comes at a time when the bacteria has made more than 20 lethal victims in Germany and has infected thousands.

Why are they always to simple to figure out? A tiny bit of social engineering cracks that system. Solution would be if you could make up your own questions in some way.
But still a court rules that such a system works?
Odd world.
