Every time Linus opens his mouth he sounds like a baby after somebody took away his lolly. This has been going on for years now.

I, for one, really appreciated that Facebook forced real names. After a few years on myspace and lists upon lists of nicknames that changed daily left my friends list kind of useless. This, separating friends from other groups, and not letting people "pimp" their pages were the main things that made FB clearly better, IMO.

Yeah, it's obviously to be "seen" with it. Because holding a 2mm thick phone shaped thing that from five feet away looks like every other 2mm thing when in a palm of a hand is all about impressing people? Couldn't possible be for what the user is actually doing with said device. I think people that make comments like this must have really had a hard go at it--socially--and somehow every body else in the world must be some fake wannabe who just wants attention. Grow up.

There is not a constant "dark" side of the moon. Only a far side. And the telescope would be blinded by the sun for half the month. Would be better, I think, to just have a telescope in space and have it always pointed away from the sun.

To this I quote John Maynard Keynes: ' If you owe your bank manager a thousand pounds, you are at his mercy. If you owe him a million pounds, he is at your mercy.'
