astroengine writes "Assuming you had an interstellar spaceship, how would you navigate around the galaxy? For starters, you'd probably need a map. But there's billions of stars out there — how complex would that map need to be? Actually, Samuel Arbesman, a research fellow from Harvard, has come up with a fun solution. He created the 'Milky Way Transit Authority (MWTA),' a simple transit system in the style of the iconic London Underground 'Tube Map.' (Travel Tip: Don't spend too much time loitering around the station at Carina, there's some demolition work underway.)"

That means it can accelerate while climbing straight up. It was designed to fight against the best the US had to offer, and now it can be yours for the price of a mediocre used business jet."

How about old school PC games such as the Might and Magic series or the old SSI games like Eye of the Beholder. I would like to see a reboot of Earth and Beyond or Thief.

Since I work with inmates my desk is at an angle making it easy to leave through the door if the @#@# hits the fan. All I worry about is my computer, it is common knowledge that it is not to get broken.

The right wording can and is interpreted differently by each politician/group to say what they want it to. The best is to counter criticism with intelligent thought and tolerance. We need to learn to agree to disagree.

Cyclist110 writes "The BBC has the story of the discovery, in Inner Mongolia, of a Dinosaur bird twice the size of a man and weighing in at over 3000 lbs. From the article: 'Chinese researchers uncovered the fossilised remains of the flightless giant in the Erlian basin in Inner Mongolia. The researchers had originally thought they had found the bones of a tyrannosaur — the group of dinosaurs to which T. rex belongs — due to their large size.'"
