It seems like Blu-Ray might have won and we might see an end to this silly conflict. I don't think it's definite, but I think it's probably. I, for one, will be happy to see the format war finished with. It's silly. Though I don't know much about either format...I think Blu-Ray's a little more expensive than HD-DVD.
Marketing assholes if you ask me. They crippled the PS3 trying to push blue ray (that and the cell processor is hardly ideal for gaming). If I can't totally avoid blue ray (I'd run without any optical storage if I could), I'll at least avoid HDMI. I support DisplayPort!

I don't really understand what they're talking about on that website, so I'll just have to trust you. Yay DisplayPort!
That reminds me of the phobia of the giant mole rat someone brought up a looong time ago, maybe in the inksandwich days. I'm sure this news was not very awesome for those people at all!
Good gracious I think I have some vague memory of that now that you bring it up. I sometimes wonder how we ever got into discussing things like that. But then I remember the inksandwich days. It was quite a feat to stay on topic for a whole page then.
Planet formation around one star in a binary can be tricky; the disk from which the planets form can be disrupted by the presence of another star. However, a team of astronomers including Javiera Guedes and Greg Laughlin used computer simulations to see how planets could form in the Alpha Cen system specifically. They did what’s called a Monte Carlo test, running the simulation over and over again with slightly different input parameters every time (like, disk density, composition, and so on).
Remarkably, what they found is that they got a terrestrial (rocky) planet about the size of Earth orbiting Alpha Cen B every single time, and in many cases was at the right distance from the star to have liquid water.
Former The A-Team star Mr. T once stunned a sick child's family by bringing him out of a coma - after doctors begged the actor for help.
The poorly kid fell unconscious in Detroit, Michigan in the mid-1980s - and the only physical movement he made was in response to hearing Mr. T's name.
And when the mohawked star was in town, he stopped by the hospital to visit the ill boy - with miraculous results.
He tells Britain's Empire magazine, "His family put toys around him and one of them was a Mr. T doll. And whenever my name came up, the boy moved his arm."
"Somebody told the doctors I was in town, so they called me down there. I closed the curtains and prayed. Then, as I was walking down the hall, the kid suddenly came out of the coma and hollered out."
"That was my supernatural moment."
I never knew the word "poorly" could be used in that way, but dictionary.com says it works, so I'm not complaining.

EDIT: He wants to pull out of Iraq immediately? That's kinda dumb...
Perhaps an end to the format war?

Yes, but too bad about the xenofungus and the mindworms.
Also: Nice source of info.... a website called "Bad Astronomy"
"Be like the twenty-second elephant with heated value in space - bark!"
Mr. T, is there anything you CAN'T do?
Thank you, Mr. T.
