FTA: "Continental finds that frequent players of titles like Gran Turismo and Grand Theft Auto are more likely to crash their real-life cars than those that don't."
There's a huge difference between driving a car in Gran Turismo (or any racing sim for that matter) and driving one in Grand Theft Auto. If you can keep your car on the road in Gran Turismo, there's a good chance you can keep it on the road in real life. If you drive your car like Carl or Niko... well...

You seem to have no idea what SharePoint actually is...
If you do... you must be the one!Seriously, sharepoint? Costs way too much, is buggy, hard to extend (workarounds workarounds workarounds) and looks like crap.
Some people make a bunch of money because they 'know' SharePoint... they are SharePoint 'developers' or even SharePoint 'Architects'
(rethorical)Did you ever came across a well architected, customized, extensible SharePoint implementation?
Submission + - A nanotechnology award for NASA
Roland Piquepaille writes: "NASA is rarely associated with nanotechnologies. But one of its researchers working at the NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center just received a Nanotech Briefs Nano 50 award for a manufacturing process for high-quality carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Because of its ability to produce bundles of CNTs without using a metal catalyst, this method is simpler, safer, and cheaper than current ones. The CNTs produced by this process are also purer and well suited for medical applications. But read more for additional details and a picture showing the CNTs manufactured at NASA."
Submission + - Incredible Holmes Comet grows bigger than the sun (networkworld.com)
coondoggie writes: "The Sun is no longer the largest object in our solar system. The recently visible-to-the-naked-eye Holmes comet has achieved that distinction today. The comet has a larger gas and dust cloud known as the coma, and consequently it has a larger diameter than the sun according to astronomers at the University of Hawaii. Scientists don't seem to have a guess as to how big it will ultimately become. The Holmes coma's diameter on Nov. 9 was 869,900 miles (1.4 million kilometers), based on measurements by Rachel Stevenson, Jan Kleyna and Pedro Lacerda of the University of Hawaii Institute for Astronomy. The sun's diameter, stated differently by various sources, is about 864,900 miles (1.392 million kilometers).
