Hm, I think the only one you can see under good conditions is Andromeda, M31. And of course the LMC and the SMC, but those are satellites to our own galaxy...
Maybe there is some Quasar that is visible with the naked eye, but I doubt it.
But seeing all the stars in our galaxy's neighborhood is still pretty cool.
What amazes me with JWST: In every single image it takes there is a crazy amount of background galaxies visible! Each with billions of stars. And even more planets. And perhaps even life?
True, didn't think of that!
I have been to Cuba earlier this year. We travelled around by car from the west to roughly the middle of the island. We slept in private casa particulars and talked to the local people. While it is obviously true that the villages are somewhat impoverished, I can tell you that Cuba seemed so much better developed than other latin american countries, like Peru. In Cuba, our hosts all had internet access. It was slow (dialup), but people were using AirBnB and the like to advertise their casas. They would use Facebook, Google and Gmail and some even had iPhones and iCloud.
Even in the small villages, people's homes were sort of neat, even if they were old and a bit run down. Everywhere it was obvious that people did take care. And yes, there were obvious shortcomings of goods like meat, toilet paper. A bottle of coca cola was insanely expensive.
In Peru on the other hand there was an abundance of internet access -- internet cafes and free WiFi even in the most remote village. Coca Cola and Inka Cola everywhere. However, the whole country was much more littered, homes were absolutely shabby outside of the neat centre of Lima and the tourist spots. The poverty of the poorest was so unbelievable.
I certainly hope that Cuba evolves into something better, that the gap between poor and rich doesn't get as bad as that in Peru. And of course I hope that Peru also gets better... Cuba definitely has got a chance to reform and evolve now. I hope that the Cuban people are up to it!
I guess most people are just guessing their productivity. However I could look it up in FishEye, which tells me my number of commits per day and hour. Wednesday wins, as does 15:00h. Monday on the other hand is my least productive day.... But I do not really hate mondays...
Then they should just write how many Joules it was.
Is it really the size of a VW beetle? At Kennedy Space Center they have a mockup, which I think is accurately sized. Including a seat, in which you can sit. I didn't fit, because, I was too tall -- at 1.80m! That thing was tiny. Really tiny!
Do you also blow out candles on adult's birthday cakes and then sternly lecture them about how "That's just for kids"?
He's Vulcan. He blows out the candles because there was a fire hazard.
Ask her "do you like daleks?".
Look at it from the NSA/FBI's point of view: they already have backdoor access to your phone's data, so the fingerprint scanner isn't about keeping Them out, but about securing biometric data from users voluntarily. If They tried to fingerprint or retina-scan a whole nation Themselves (like our troops do to occupied Afganistan and before in Iraq) there would be resistance; we only got away with it in Afghanistan and Iraq because we were an armed, occupying force. At home, they'll start integrating biometric scanners into cheap, gaudy (GOLD!) baubles so the Sheeple fingerprint themselves instead.
Your government already has my fingerprints. Every time I travel to the US, I have to leave my fingerprint at the border controls in the airport. Several years back, it was just a thumb print. But last time I went, it was all ten fingerprints.
I wonder if humans would evolve further, maybe producing their own beta carotene or Vitamin A? I do not condone the suffering of millions of people, but I wonder if giving our bodies everything in plenty is good in the long run (like generations).
Also, can't this deficiency be solved with existing crops and/or vegetables? The rice looks nice, though...
I am using German Telekom for my mobile ISP. They cap after 300MB. Way, way too low. After that it's 64kbit/s!
My DSL ISP is ok. No caps, but the uplink is tiny. I've got 6 MBit downlink, but only 512kbit uplink. Terrible for uploading photos or other stuff.
I like this campaign. Objective C is continually in the Top 5 of the most widely used languages (http://www.tiobe.com/index.php/content/paperinfo/tpci/index.html). It is a very nice, simple object oriented C dialect. It is used on OS X and iOS, the latter of which is installed on hundreds of millions of devices (http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/23/apple-over-500-million-ios-devices-sold/). Both operating systems heavily utilize Cocoa as their framework
Having better or even any Cocoa support on Linux would help to get developers to target both world. Linux on the one side, and iOS/OS X on the other side. I think this is well worth for all Linux users to chip in some money (even if it's only $1).
If all else fails, lower your standards.
