Astronaut Photographs Perseid Meteor — From Space 61

astroengine writes "As the Perseid meteor shower begins to subside, there is one observer who was perfectly positioned to take a photograph where the skies are guaranteed to be clear from cloud. NASA astronaut Ron Garan — who is currently living aboard the International Space Station (ISS) as part of Expedition 27 — captured this stunning photograph of a Perseid out of the ISS window."

Comment Bump :Definition of terms (Score 1) 215

To paraphrase a comment I read on this :

In the mining industry there is possibly two words for those rare metal deposit : ore, and dirt.

Ore is the state where you can collect it for less than the market price and make a benefit.

Dirt is the other one, aka 5 km deep underwater where the cost of recovering it TODAY would WAY exceed the possible ore value.

Comment provided by business (Score 1) 601

if provided by business, most of the times you will get a blackberry, just like I did.
And it will all be managed by a disgruntled windows admin allowing you almost no possibility to install anything on it, or change any of the options.

So basically I have a dumbphone where I can also write emails, but blackberry big.

chimes a bell to anyone ?

Comment 1/10th... (Score 1) 306

1/10th of ppl are subject to mental deficiencies of some sort
Because of that 1/10th, we cannot drink in the street, smoke cannabis, drive fast, etc...mostly because that small fringe of the population cannot cope with it.

So I propose we start discriminating on those 1/10th of the population and stop making the live of the 9/10th miserable. Wanna smoke dope ? have a psy check. Wanna drive fast ? have a "left lane permit". Wanna drink in the street ? "pass a binge check and prove you are not agressive when you drink.

You fail ? I still get to enjoy life....
