No, all units are lowercase in SI (in English), but abbreviations of units named after people are usually capitalized. For example, 1 joule per second (1 J/s) is equal to 1 watt (1 W).

While the Sun's heat probably played a role in ISON's destruction, I think the main reason it broke up was because of the Sun's tidal forces. ISON was within its Roche limit, where the tidal effects of the Sun were enough to overpower ISON's own gravity, tearing the comet apart. Most of it is probably orbiting the Sun right now as a very small ring.

The Simpsons manage to stay fresh and funny? When did that start again?

Granted I haven't watched the last few seasons, but I don't think that show has been funny in years.

Okay, I'll reword it. I don't understand why it's still used as much as it is.

It doesn't make any sense to me. It's a very limited, antiquated, and error-prone medium. Now that so many people have smartphones that are capable of email and IM, it doesn't really make sense that we should continue to use this. Why should I be forced to use such a tiny computer because you're not at your desk?

(I assume that "texting" refers specifically to SMS text messaging, as most people use the term, not as any message containing text.)

You could always have yourself castrated. But why do that when you could use your sexual energy to your advantage by conditioning yourself into having some kind of weird programming fetish.

With all the features people want in this thing, the battery will probably have to be pretty big or you won't get much use out of it. (It will be enough of a change to have to plug my watch in every night; I don't want to have to do it every few hours.) Which means the only way anyone is going to release something like this is if it has very limited features--maybe just time, date, a few basic alerts, etc., which means it probably won't be worth the cost. But then again, people will spend $500 on a watch that keeps worse time than the one that came with my breakfast cereal, so you never know.

Part of what gives us, as GNU/Linux users, a unique cultural identity is our choice of software. In general, we don't use proprietary software, and bringing popular proprietary programs like Office or Photoshop to our platform would ruin our status as the free operating system. While it might draw in new users, GNU/Linux is more valuable as a free operating system than a popular one.
