Considering how often I've seen people driving slowly (relative to the flow of traffic) in the passing lanes, I'd say no.

Clear sign of a conspiracy, amirite?

Not sure. Maybe (and I'm guessing here) because the title of an article could be considered the article's name, and the English language capitalizes names.

Just a guess. A quick Google search gave me the various rules for capitalizing words in titles, but not the origin of the practice.

Will it be imaging and gathering data from the asteroid belt

Unless New Horizons is going to swing back around and come back to the center of the Solar System, NH is well beyond the asteroid belt and won't be able to take any pictures of it in the future.

The vehicles you refer to on Earth are autonomous, rather than being remotely piloted.

Did you mean to say Mars, rather than Earth?

The dot in the username of the gmail address is used to create a virtual email address. anything sent to fm.last@googlemail.com should have gone to the user that has the mail address of fm@googlemail.com.

Actually, I think that's only for the plus sign. The dot is just flavor that gets ignored by Gmail.

I had something similar happen, except I registered "fmlast@gmail.com", and I got a lot of email (in German) addressed to "fm.last@googlemail.com".

All of Google's help pages insist that the guy should never have been able to register "fmlast", but he did. (That, or he thought he did, and gave it out to friends and other businesses.)

He moved to the US a little while ago. I've started getting car insurance emails now, too.

To add insult to injury, whatever idiot had ordered them got us some new-fangled wide screen monitors. The problem was that while the actual resolution of the monitor was a 4:3 aspect ratio ... the actual pixels were flattened so that in its native resolution the screen drew circles as flattened ovals.

I... what?

I just sat and stared at my screen in utter shock after reading that. Can you say where you got that equipment from - who built it, sold it, etc?

...that the principal was actually a Star Trek fan.

Can't we all just get along?

Let me see if I'm understanding correctly. (Someone correct me if I'm not.)

The light we're seeing from this galaxy comes from roughly 700 million years after the Big Bang, so on the cosmic scale, it's quite young.

A quick Googling says the universe is 13.8 billion years old. Another quick Googling says the Milky Way is 13.2 billion years old. The galaxy in this article would be about 13.1 billion years old.

Since the summary says this is a "young" galaxy, does that mean most galaxies we see are older than 13.1 billion years?

That was intended to be a joke, but thank you. (Seriously.) I always figured the filet was a different area of muscle tissue, something softer than the regular steak areas. I didn't realize it was related to how the meat was cut.

I don't want to bite down on a piece of lead in a steak.

You, ah, you frequently hunt cattle? I guess it's easier to find them than deer.

I worked at an Army HQ between '00 and '04 (IT contractor), and at some point in that range we were all (soldiers, civilians, and contractors) getting CAC cards.

Were you trying to quote this comment, or are you both the same person?

Where a traditional brash American northerner gets angry, but never fights for honor, a traditionally polite American southerner stays polite until you go to far and then goes for blood.

Bless your heart.
