Wow, so much hate in here. You people are like horrible old women. I for one like the new UX a lot. My biggest gripe with 29.0 is probably the Google Chrome "hamburger style" menu icon and the round back button, which can probably both be fixed with add-ons.

"Spontaneous disintegration" is EXACTLY what "Spontaneous disintegration" means. Look up Comet LINEAR, for example. It disintegrated in August 2006 for no apparent reason, since it was not passing near the Sun or a planet when it broke apart.

Verizon Tech Given 4-year Federal Prison Sentence For $4.5M Equipment Scam 163

Posted by timothy on Thursday October 04, 2012 @03:13PM from the job-opportunities dept.

McGruber writes "Michael Baxter, the network engineer at the southeastern regional headquarters of Verizon Wireless who submitted hundreds of fraudulent service requests to Cisco, has been sentenced to four years in federal prison, followed by three years of supervised release. Baxter was also ordered to pay $2.3 million in restitution to Cisco Systems, and $462,828 in restitution to Verizon. Instead of placing the replacement parts into service in the Verizon Wireless network, Baxter took the parts home and sold them to third-party re-sellers for his own profit. He used the money to buy cars, jewelry and multiple cosmetic surgeries for his girlfriend."

An added bonus is that the comet passes very close to Mars in early October 2013 and could potentially be observed by the sensitive Mast Cameras on the rover Curiosity.

MSL Landing Timeline: What To Expect Tonight 140

Posted by samzenpus on Sunday August 05, 2012 @07:05PM from the break-it-down dept.

An anonymous reader writes "When the Curiosity rover lands on Mars later tonight, it'll be executing a complex series of maneuvers. JPL will be relying on the Mars Odyssey orbiter to relay telemetry back to Earth in time-delayed real-time, and if all goes well, we'll be getting confirmation on the success (or failure) of each entry, descent, and landing phase, outlined in detail here."

I think Megan Garber is unattractive.
