I think it is the most amazing and marvelous piece of human engineering. Every time I watch a launch on tv I become amazed once more time. I live in Argentina and I am trying to save money to be able to see a launch before the end :S Hope to get the money and go to enjoy it. If someone want to send me tickets... :D

The team found that people fall into two clearly distinct types of emailer. The first group, "day labororers", tend to send emails throughout the normal working day between 0900 and 1800 but not at other times. On the other hand, "emailaholics" tend to send emails throughout the waking hours from 0900 to 0100. These groups are pretty stable: roughly 75 % of users stay in the same group over a 2 year period. That gives a pretty good way of classifying individuals that could be used by demographers. Interestingly, the technique can also be used to spot spambots which do not fit into either group."

(from wikipedia)
The Battle of Trenton was a battle which took place on December 26, 1776, during the American Revolutionary War after Washington's crossing of the Delaware River. General George Washington led the main Continental Army across the river to surprise and virtually eliminate the Hessian garrison at Trenton, New Jersey. This overwhelming victory helped to preserve the Continental Army and set the stage for the Battle of Princeton the following week.
