A Hyper-Velocity Impact In the Asteroid Belt? 114

astroengine writes "Astronomers have spotted something rather odd in the asteroid belt. It looks like a comet, but it's got a circular orbit, similar to an asteroid. Whether it's an asteroid or a comet, it has a long, comet-like tail, suggesting something is being vented into space. Some experts think it could be a very rare comet/asteroid hybrid being heated by the sun, but there's an even more exciting possibility: It could be the first ever observation of two asteroids colliding in the asteroid belt."

my school supports it sorta. I mean the VPN software has linux versions. But some classes require office, with addons that only work in windows. So while they support linux with stuff like vpn. The computer requirement for business school is that you have a windows laptop, not mac.

have you ever used leopard? It is the same resource hog as vista. If not more, less secure, updated slower and less often, runs less software, requires atleast 2GB of ram to run good. Every leopard user (with any sense) knows this. But everyone fails to mention this. When the mac vs pc comes up. Also mac picks the hardware for leopard and its always enough HP for the OS. If microsoft used the same hardware that mac uses everything would run just fine. The problem is so many windows users try to upgrade to vista on old outdated systems. And while mac users try to do the same thing they give up because leopard runs like crap on old hardware.
