Looks like Mr. Sam Ramji will be looking for a new job in a days. If it was "just fuck up", it won't be forgiven by Mr. Flying Chairs.

Planescape: Torment - poor graphics but wonderful story line. If this game was recreated with the same story but in "state-of-art" graphics I probably would moisture my pants (:)
The Twitter Book 88
stoolpigeon writes "Microblogging service Twitter has undeniably been a hit, with growth rates that were at times in excess of 1400%. The growth was rapid enough that the site became well known for its periodic, and, at times, extensive downtime. Even with these issues, the service continued to grow rapidly, and with celebrities getting into the mix Twitter was quickly on the radar of mainstream media. The ubiquity of Twitter and ever-increasing coverage of 'tweets' has also brought the inevitable backlash. As with anything that gains high-profile popularity, there are plenty of Twitter haters out there, though the role Twitter has played in the recent Iranian elections seems to have brought more legitimacy to Twitter in the eyes of many. With popularity come books, and quite a few are already out there about and for Twitter, but my favorite so far is The Twitter Book by Tim O'Reilly and Sarah Milstein." Read below for the rest of JR's review.

Does anyone know who actually uses SCO products if any?
One of Russia's largest banks "Sberbank" in 2007 signed two year contract with SCO official dealers in Russia "Business Console Ltd." about licensing their ~1,500 servers running SCO OpenServer. This fall contract ends. What will they do with their OSes then? Let's wait and see!

However, there is some evidence that gamma ray bursts might be the product of a sufficiently massive star dying and producing a black hole, in which case we could be in trouble if we were struck be such an event at close range.
We need to be in the line of sight.
We are not. Rotational axis is not towards Earth.
If this were a common occurrence for the earth, it is very likely we would not be here at all.
There would not be exactly such life here on Earth. You can't say some other form of life (like gamma-rays-absorbing one) could not evolve..
