Actually, it isn't. If you go to the URL of the friends list, you can view anybody's friends list.

Interesting? -1, Wrong. If your profile is not set to be searchable, that information is unavailable.

Coincidentally, I've taken five minutes to set my privacy settings correctly and have only praise for the increased granularity now available. What percentage of those complaining here have ever used facebook anyway?

Over here in sleepy old Adelaide, South Australia, our Westfield guards have been known to cause deaths Security guard charged over elderly man's death. Walking into a mall with your bike helmet accidentally left on will quickly atttract a number of tall, angry men.
A mask would be asking for way more trouble than it would be worth, as it'd be taken as practically a declaration of intent to cause trouble.

perhaps you should try http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/. its a radio station that doesnt play too much (any?) of the top 40

Triple J does play a little of the top 40 - before it's in the top 40. As a government funded indie broadcaster, they sink a huge amount of their funding into finding and nurturing new music and musicians. One of the few times I'm truly proud of something my country funds.

Don't you think they would trumpet their use of saw dust if they in fact used it? I can't find any evidence on the web of your claim, although I am willing to stand corrected.

I'm guessing that's what pre-consumer waste paper refers to; waste products generated within the production of paper and used without ever being sold as paper.

Chandrayaan M3 Instrument Confirms Iron-Bearing Minerals On the Moon 67

William Robinson writes with news that the Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M3), an instrument developed by NASA and sent aboard India's Chandrayaan-1, has confirmed the presence of iron-bearing minerals on the moon. This marks the beginning of an extensive examination of the composition of the lunar surface. "Isro officials said M3 would help in characterising and mapping lunar minerals to ultimately understand the moon's early geological evolution. 'The compositional map that will come out of M3 will have fantastic data on geological formation of the moon,' the official said. Researchers said the relative abundance of magnesium and iron in lunar rocks could help confirm whether the moon was covered by a molten, magma ocean early on in its history. Iron and magnesium will also indicate melting of the moon, if it happened and how it formed later. This metallic element has been found in lunar meteorites, but scientists know little about its distribution in the lunar crust."
